Skyrush is the only coaster that I have ever actually been truly scared on. Like, I seriously thought I was going to fly out of it at multiple moments. Also hurt like hell.

Super late to the restraint conversation, but speaking from experience: Taron's restraints are some of the most comfortable out there. The seats lack a decent amount of lateral bracing, so you get SENT to the side a couple times on that ride.
I also hope that this has 2-across trains instead of 4. 2 seats allows sharper transitions, where 4 seat trains seem to bleed speed more (Skyrush) and has much more potential to turn into a rattlefest (Hyperion).

It's SUPER rough, but I threw the blueprints onto NoLimits 2 and created a very loose interpretation of an Intamin Giga. It's still a work in progress, and honestly it's a little too close to i305 for me, but maybe I'll adjust it as more info comes in.
Seems too Intimidator-like. I would rather it be more like Skyrush were there are more airtime hills and banks than twisties.
I agree. Given the proximity to Kings Dominion, I would hope the park doesn't do something like this haha. I'll probably gonna alter it some to be a little more airtime based and Skyrush-esque and maybe repost it in a bit.
I mean at BGW. They need something in contrast to I305.
They also need to contrast Fury too. Hence why I hope it ends up like a supersize Skyrush.
something else random i've been thinking about is what the color scheme would be for the coaster. i can't remember exactly, but i think busch is required to make the rides above the tree line blend in with the sky per james city county rules or something like that. obviously a 300'+ coaster would be above the tree line, but there are already two blue coasters... alpengeist is white & blue, griffon is two different shades of blue.
it could even be green for all i care to blend in with the trees ? i would honestly just be bummed if it's another blue coaster.
You are correct someone even told me that part of the reason Apollo hasn't been repainted is that the rules to get to get the permits for it would require it changing colors to stick out less. Can't say if they were pulling my leg or not. But the height waver for Madrid did clearly say a color scheme that would be muted against the sky.

That's without a doubt the most annoying part of Kingsmill.
Its actually county wide and not limited to Kings Mill CW and and Jamestown have actually been big advocates of the ordnance as they don't want to see the historic natural sky line ruined. My understanding from when they had the height waiver hearing last year was Kings Mill actually didn't really raise to much of a fuss over it.
The height waver was approved by JCC so it must be inside the county borders.
