Giga vs hyper — what changes at 300 feet?
Giga coasters push height even further. The feel is still about speed and airtime, not inversion tours.
Intamin — launches and record chasing
German builder behind many hydraulic launches, gigas, and intense accelerator layouts.
Airtime hills explained
Shaped hills that pull you out of the seat — the heart of hyper and many modern layouts.
