It's been done, B&M built their version of a Vekoma SFC in one of the Happy Valleys a while back...

Just found a clip. The track looks so funny, but yeah the ride itself is as dull as dishwater.

Surprised the following 2020 coasters have barely been mentioned on here but I just wanted to comment about some of my observations.

 

Many of us know about the two B&M “hyper” coasters coming most likely next year to Hershey Park and KI (the latter isn’t confirmed but is like 99% likely).

 

Everyone has seemed to go with the idea that KI’s will be a giga based on what cedar fair has done in the past with other parks, the fact they already have a hyper as well as the layout plans. I noticed something from the track that may confirm it.

 

Whilst I couldn’t find an image of the track for the lift hill, I noticed a piece of track below where the spine seems to widen to what looks like the start of a B&M giga style lift.

 

For the B&M most likely going to Hersheypark. It’s height is unknown but I think the lift hill track suggests a hyper given it doesn’t have the wider spine as seen on gigas.

 

I don’t know if anyone else has commented about this online somewhere else, if so I’m sorry if this sounds really obvious.

I think a giga is plausible considering Firehawk recently went and Cedar Fair seem to not announce things until last minute (remember Steel Vengeance not being announced even though track was completely visible?)

Really really interesting, great channel. Just watched the roofs one too, he has some very insightful tales to tell.
