I don't know how anyone can stand on the bridge and picture anything much higher than that dropping on to that bank there in the first place. It is not a huge location.
 
Looking at the comment "That project will be about 180 feet at its tallest" could also be interpreted (being subversive, here) as the structure...and not taking into account the land it's sitting on. No issue if it was, they already have approval to go higher.

Which brings an interesting (to me, anyway) if the "Madrid" project was cancelled and the plans we've seen are the "second" project (MMXX), why did they carry those 300+ft heights (if you recall, twice in the submission) forward when they knew all along it wasn't going to be even close to that?

My guess would be to keep people guessing and allowing them to be as vague as possible with the ride statistics.
 
Seems like they had a 'Madrid' plan in the works- possibly an entire new small park section, anchored by some 300+' attraction.
That fell through so they decided to just put the coaster portion there and the rest of the original plan evolved into the 2021 project across the water, in the other field... also now proposing a 300+' attraction. In either case, I don't think that attraction ever was or is going to be a gigacoaster.

Based on what we have heard the original plan was for a red force clone where you have a launch and then a top hat and then return basically just come back to the station.

It doesn't sound like those plans fell through as much as the park changed its mind and then shifted plans some. The Giga then moved to festhaus field.
 
Are we really spending time arguing about what the original Madrid plans were?

I mean, I get that it would be interesting innformation.. but it's 100% speculation and has nothing to do with what MMXX will be.
