It's Official: Texas Giant Gets A Makeover!

like 90% of intamin's drops?

[slosprint]

yes lol

the red track are similar to superman at SFMMin LA.They are twinbeams.Iam curios how they will ride esp with Gerstauler trains.Seems they do not mix well.But the drops and overbanks looks good but overbanks unique for a woodie.We will see next year.I was hoping for an Intamin prefab like El Toro.

just looking at this for the first time in a will, can we clarify, this is definitely a steel coaster now? Not a hybrid? Only the track is completely steel and I was sort of of the opinion this is was made the difference between the ride being steel of wood or a mix of both. There is clearly no wood used in the construction of the track

New trains...

[Mikey]

Fail.

The new cars remind me of Paris Hilton's pink Bentley with Swarovski Cyrstals on the wheels.Just disgusting without any style or respect.And WTF about those strage window things?
This was the ULTIMATE TEXAS FAIL,well this and the texas big horns.

Wow. Interesting. I hope the other cars look better.

[slosprint]

That pic made me horny.
HUR HUR HUR

Other than the windows I like them.

In all honesty, I think the majority of you guys are justing finding small things to bash on... I think this ride has a big chance at being some original and amazing! The fact that you are all still moping over a ride that has ran in a terrible condition for any years is getting old... Wait until the ride is completed, testing begins, and riders get on it for the first time.

I hope the windows don't flap around really annoyingly.

At least they're better than the wings on American Eagle lol

Now for a proper response.

It would appear as tho a year of design and development has labored to produce the bastardized off spring of Rock N Roller coasters trains. Clearly it would seem as tho the only cultural inspiration from the yanks that designed and built this dam contraption came from watching the entire series of the dukes of hazard backwards, with the sound off, while drinking moon shine distilled from a surplus of WD40. Boss Hog would be proud of this fitting tribute to him.

These trains are to put it nicely, fugly. They are about on par with the safety yellow uniforms. Next time just piss on the grave of The Texas Giant, it would've been less insulting then this fufu pile of poop.

I kinda like them. They're modeled after 1961 Cadillacs.




I assume the "windows" are a necessary evil because of close clearances. Looking forward to seeing the ride's progress when I go out to the park on Friday.

If those windows are there to protect people from clearance issues, then we all know some dumbass is going to manage to get around it.

The train themselves look pretty cool. But on a wooden coaster? I think not. Also, major fail on the side windows.

Hint: It's no longer a wooden coaster.

I like them aside from those stupid ass windows. It's like that piece of plexi glass they have on Ring Racer. I mean cmon, don't you want your face turned inside out?

I know I do.

Ok, let me rephrase that. It looks awfull on a coaster with wooden supports.

I wish they would remove the windows,then the cars would look so much better.
I still prefer prefab cars.These cars here are from Gerstlauer,right?

^ I think so, since Gerstlauer has been doing alot of trains lately. The appearance of these trains dont match the style of a wooden coaster. I think they should have stuck with the old Dinn trains only modified to run on the new rails.

Or something like the cars of El Toro(GAdv).

At least you can see through them, I mean the windows could be that^. I recall the blue side having even larger what I'll call "wings" on one side than the wings on the red side so the train looks goofy and asymmetrical.
