  • A 'giga' is a roller coaster that has a height or drop between 300 feet and 399 feet. As of 2020, there are only 7 of these in the world. I've had the fortunate opportunity of riding all of them. Today, I'll be ranking them from my least favorite, to my very favorite!

    2) Millennium Force
    3) Intimidator 305
    4) Orion
    5) Leviathan
    6) Steel Dragon 2000

      A lot of people don't realize that Orion is not running at full capacity. So there isn't a lot of energy on the train to bring down the drop with more momentum. Running at half capacity significantly impacts the rude experience

    I rode Orion twenty times today, and I never once grayed out on Orion’s Belt. That being said, Orion is actually my favorite giga. I haven’t ridden Red Force or Steel Dragon, but I just love Orion so much. It’s the fact that it’s so picturesque and so rerideable (hence the twenty rides). It was so smooth and fast that I felt like I was flying. Plus the themeing was pretty awesome! I know it may sound crazy, but Orion is my favorite giga coaster.

      That 9 out of ten was in 2017 and in 2019 he liked levi even more than in 2017 so that confused me. Also in 2017 he said he liked Levi better than Millie in 2017 so it’s weird in 2019 when he liked Levi even more and than ranks it lower...

    @Gabes1321 3 года назад +24

    I would definitely rank leviathan much higher as the drop is unlike any of the others on this list, it give you a bigger sensation and also in terms of ride experience, because of the clever engineering with sand etc. you don’t go deaf when on the ride which is a huge bonus in my eyes!

    • @TonyKimtheamusementparkfan
      @TonyKimtheamusementparkfan 2 года назад +1

      I agree~ It doesn't have the strongest layout, but I feel it focuses on speed super well, amazing ejector speed hill, great floater airtime, and it's still amazingly smooth, after almost a decade of operation. If you know the guys at the Chain Lift, they rank Leviathan as their favourite giga roller coaster, and that's saying something about giga coasters like Fury 325 and Intimidator 305. Leviathan is an example of just amazing engineering of what you can do with space, since the land it sits on is not very big at all. But none of that speed is wasted, especially with all these airtime hills. On a summer day when it's running great, Idk how B&M managed for the train to fly over these hills, while still maintaining a good speed until the end.

    • @Gabes1321
      @Gabes1321 2 года назад +4

      @@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan the layout is short however it gives fantastic airtime which is something none of the other gigas can say. And it gives such a different experience every time. Some days it’s crawling over the hills which gives great sustained floater but other days it flies over hills giving amazing pops of ejector. It was a pioneer for b&m with the new supports and also a pioneer for all new rides with the sand filling technique. It’s one of b&m’s finest although it has some competition with behemoth in the same park, which I also love

    Awesome list! Out of all of the coasters on this list, I have only ridden Intimidator 305. I definitely agree with its intensity and it's "blacking-out" ability. I went to King's Dominion several years ago with a good friend of mine, I believe it was the debut summer for the '305 and was definitely before the trim brakes were added. Long story short, after the initial drop and during the second or third jolting turn he turned to me and screamed "I just blacked- out!" Insane, I'll never forget it.

    Leviathan is very fun and it is my favourite ride at my home park, Canada’s Wonderland. Remember that Leviathan was the first B&M giga and they used the results from Leviathan to help make fury better when they built it. If it weren’t for Leviathan, Fury would not have turned out nearly as well as it did. I think Leviathan deserves some extra points for this and maybe should be ranked 5th and Orion ranked 6th or something but idk it’s your list.

But, yes 305 is very intense and the park itself does recommend taking a break after two consecutive rides before getting back on. The first time I rode it the G forces on that first turn actually dislodged my nasal congestion and helped it start to drain away lol.

      I think the ride was added into the game to recreate Goliath at Walibi Holland, Aka Six Flags Holland in RCT2. RCT2 added a lot of coaster types purely so Six Flags rides could be recreated in the Six Flags parks recreations - like the 4th dimension coaster so they could recreate X ingame. So i think the "Giga Coaster" is based on Goliath at Walibi/Six Flags Holland, and not Millennium Force, and simply only took the name Giga Coaster from Millennium Force.
