The giga coaster is a type of steel coaster designed to allow the first drop to range from 300 to 399 feet (400 feet or higher is classified as a strata coaster, while 200 to 299 is a hyper coaster). A differing feature of the giga coaster is the cable lift, as opposed to the chain lift that is comon to most coasters. A major advantage to the cable lift is the fact that it is able to transport the train on hills that range up to 60 degrees, allowing for a taller hill in a shorter distance. It also travels quicker, at 15 mph. A disadvantage of the cable lift is that it can only be used straight after the station. |
