Full offense but this layout looks like something I'd make in RCT2. It's so... bland and uninspired looking.
I'm reserving judgement until this ride is built. I agree it seems underwhelming considering people thought that they were building a Giga that would be like Fury but a little taller and instead it's more like Leviathan. That being said we have no idea how the track will be banked or how each element will actually look. That's all hard to accurately judge until it's built.
Friend of mine outlines why Kings Island chose to do what they did. Fellow nerd with operations and amusement industry experience, so he's not talking out his ass.

Interesting concept drawing. If true to the leaked blueprints, this will be a major change to the landscape.

I thought this was KD for a minute, and was thoroughly confused.
Yeah, these forums are pretty good. Right at the top of the page it tells you the name of the park. Those administrators thought of....oh....never mind....
In my defense, I don't have the time to start at the top of the page and scroll down to my unread posts.
Random thought here:
From pictures of the spotted unnamed track and the Hersheypark Chocolate Town rendering; HP’s reported B&M Hyper and KI’s reported B&M Giga look almost the exact same even at track size.
I wonder if one of the parks are lying about stats this early or if B&M is doing the same tracking for both projects and over engineering one of them.

Neither are lying, the track difference is very minimal between giga and hyper.
From the pictures posted a few months ago the only way to tell the difference was because KI's lift track was already made, which had a structural difference in the soine compared to Hershey's and the Hyper track.

Plans?....track?....simulation?...footers? No worries, Channel 9 is on the story!
