The Giga Coaster is built by Intamin. There are only two offical giga coasters made by Intamin (both in the US). Although the name in RCT is Giga Coaster, it bears a resemblance to Intamin's Mega Coaster cars and track (which are also used on their Giga Coasters). There are 8 Giga/Mega coasters in the world built from 1999 on (the first was Bizarro in Six Flags New England, Formerly Superman: Ride of Steel). 7 of these coasters were built from 1999 until 2003 and the eighth wasn't built until 2010. In 2000, Millennium Force was the first Giga Coaster to be built. Intimidator 305 is the newest Intamin Giga/Mega coaster but features a different train design from the other 7. The ride features over the shoulder restraints and the train is themed to a stock-car. The Giga coaster was featured in RCT2 in Six Flags Holland (Goliath). Interestingly, in game the ride is only 120 feet tall while in real life it is 153 feet tall.
