Giga coasters?

Anyone making any cool giga coasters? I always feel like my designs are unrealistic. I know that giga coasters are huge and take up a lot of space, but they just feel... idk.. unnatural? Hard to explain.. here is a picture of the one I'm working on:

anyone else have pics of theirs?


Also, is the giga coaster the same as the Millenium Force @ cedar point? And if it is.. why are they using the chainlift and not that pulled lift (not sure of the correct term) that the Millenium force uses?

Ahhhh okay that makes sense.

Would be sweet to have a toggle or something so you could use the same lift system as the Millennium Force.

It's a completely different type of coaster, Millennium Force is made by Intamin and is their Giga Coaster "brand". Whereas, Fury 325 is a B&M and is "classified" as a Giga Coaster because it exceeds 300 feet. To my knowledge, only the Intamin Giga uses the Cable Lift like Millennium and I305. B&M Giga Coasters just use a very fast chain lift.

It's always been a bit confusing to some people that there are 2 kinds of Giga Coasters, one that is a branded product and one that is a general classification.

That's really cool knowledge. I guess I always assumed that because of the massive height of the giga coasters, they all used a cable lift system to get them up there fast.
