Dustin Smith where did you imagine this being at in the park? Over by Kumba?

[@DustinTheNow]

This coaster would be in the northwest portion of Busch Gardens Tampa’s property by the north retention ponds. Was inspired by how they built Mako at sea world. Possibly more details on that in an upcoming video 😃

[@kw6stheater539]

Dustin Smith Great work man I can definitely see some fury 325 and Shambala elements. B&M needs to hire you because you Design better coasters than most of theme parks. Kings Island could have used your help desperately.

If only it were true I would be at the park everyday riding it dozens of times. One of my favorite kinds of coasters.

[@alecday3775]

Check out Coasterpete's design, he came out with his more recently and it would make this look TAME in comparison AND if built the VERY FIRST giga to take riders upside down which HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. Something to check out. It looks like it is on the level of I305. His is an Intamin and SeaWorld has been working with the company cause we have Pantheon at BGW and WaveBreaker at SeaWorld San Antonio and SeaWorld owns both Busch Gardens parks so that coaster is VERY possible.

[@seanlewis1148]

[@howenator]

Some of these transitions are rely whippy and intense but not unrealistic. This layout is amazing.

[@DustinTheNow]

B&M Hyper Fanboy Haha, what’s funny is the “role rates” are consistent with B&M from a tracking standpoint but it’s taking those transitions at incredible speeds so it’s whippy from a passenger standpoint! Crazy fun!

[@DylanBeatz]

Yeah the pacing on the first few elements after the first drop is faster than B&M would go. Would be super fun though

[@yosoleboricua]

Love everything about this! Only thing I would change is the color since Iron gwazi is already purple. Also maybe go for a rhino theme because I don’t really think of elephants when I think about speed, and it would be a nice nod to rhino rally.

[@jamesbarrett4539]

Yosole Boricua maybe a gray and orange color scheme

[@DustinTheNow]

@@jamesbarrett4539 gray and orange would look amazing! unfortunately, we went away from that scheme because of Tigris!

[@darrylellis4809]

I can see BGT getting something like this. If they do they will be on par with Cedar Point. I hope they try to go for the record. Because with the opening of Orion it seems like CF is not trying to break records any more.

[@jackzsr5778]

honestly

[@mxxt8891]

Cedar fair couldn’t afford a bigger coaster than Orion, Orion Costed the same amount as fury. Hopefully they can find some more money to build a new record breaker

[@bigblueamusementproductions]

That is not true. CF has stated multiple times that they still try to go after records. I think the giga records were just a little bit too much for CF to try and reach again with costs and a record breaking ride isn't what KI themselves wanted. They wanted to take advantage of the land topography.

[@JBartlett269]

Nice design, color and transitions. I would build it if I were BGT. Thanks for sharing!

[@SunshineStateCoasters]

This is the only park that could build a Giga in the next 20 years and honestly I could really see this happen in maybe 10 years. If SeaWorld doesn’t go bankrupt then this could be the Fury beater we’ve been hoping to see one day!

[@SUMMONER917]

With this pandemic going on, I don’t expect to see SeaWorld, Six Flags, and possibly Cedar Fair surviving this.... this Giga coaster won’t ever happen as I’m thinking that all theme parks in the entire world will shut down forever!!!

As much as I wish that this would happen. I’m pretty sure Florida has building restrictions and you can’t build rollercoasters over something like 240 feet. I don’t know if it’s still a thing but I know we used to have restriction and that’s why Florida coasters are not as tall as they probably could be.

Wish this was real! So so badly wish this was real! Between this, iron gwazi, montu, kumba, cheetah hunt, and sheikra this could be one of the best line ups on the world! Almost unbeatable! Would also definitely knock fury off the top spot

[@al0742]

The noise would bother the animals if it goes over the serengeti. Although they could put sand in the track so it reduces the noise. 🤔

[@gladiatordragon9219]

Where do you think this will go? I'm perfectly fine with this coming to Busch Gardens Tampa, but location will be difficult. The best area that comes to mind is the animal reserve, which I doubt they want to touch right now, as, well, there's animals on it. Gigas are massive, and fitting into in a park that already is using a lot of its space will be difficult.

[@DustinTheNow]

Great point, this coaster was designed to fit in the back of the park, behind the retention ponds.

[@oftheiron4188]

First off, great concept coaster. I can definately see a coaster like this in the northwest corner of the park. That would place the entrance probably in the jungala area, which definately needs a signature attraction. However, as much as I love elephants not sure it fits the theme of that part of the park. They currently have orangutans and tigers displayed in jungala, but this monster feels like a gorilla (king kong comes to mind), a black and silver paint job and maybe a name like "Silverback". BGT can also add a world class gorilla exhibit at the entrance of the coaster. But the ride looks amazing and would be an awesome follow up to Iron Gwazi.

[@ttvframez3030]

This is a amazing concept and if it BGT would ever get a giga I hope it would be based on this.

[@LAjani-fs8ow]

This would be perfect for Busch Gardens

[@BoomerBaskins]

Wow. Great design. Great music. Great concept. Hats off.

[@felixm2985]

[@rafaelrivera4559]

If Busch Gardens added this, they would easily become one of the top parks in America. Like they would become a Rollercoaster Landmark for the state of Florida. Busch Gardens is also one of my home parks so I have a special place in my heart for it. :)

[@migblogsandmigames5665]

The only way this would be possible is if they made a 150ft trench for the drop since all costal areas have a 200 ft height limit for non free standing structures and i would love to see that and if this comes out then there would be a group i like to call " The Elite 4 " including BGT, Cedar point, Enegylandia, and Fuji Q

[@orangepentagon9730]

That's taller than Fury. However, BGW is getting a Giga too, but it's a launch coaster with a huge twisted spike. It's 355ft too. And it's in Drachen Fire's spot, what I've heard is that the unoffical name for it is Drachen Spire. However, I hope Tembo also comes as well. But this isn't likely, as RMC has had a concept in mind, a single rail 500ft T-Rex coaster, which will have chainlift, and will be tallest coaster. And S&S is debuting their Axis Coaster soon too.

[@ultimateparkmasters4735]

Awesome! Looks so cool great execution! I also Made a BGT giga concept, but I think yours is taller👏

[@Kweesee]

This is awesome! It feels like a combination of Shambala and Fury. BGT would possibly be better than CP with this coaster and Iron Gwazi.

[@EctothermicAlex]

I alter park maps for fun and am so glad someone had the same idea of a giga in the same general area! I named mine uproar wand made it golden yellow with brown supports, plus a new jaguar exhibit

No Six Flags or Cedar Fair park will ever drop this kind of money on one single coaster and I never expected anything close to this. Even fury was pairs for by a huge investment by city otherwise it wouldn’t have been as tall as it was.
