Texas Giant 2011 POV

This is a POV from Six Flags Over Texas of the newly revamped Texas Giant. This classic wooden coaster was stripped of its old track and given a new steel I-beam track by RMC. In addition to being smoother and producing more ejector airtime, Texas Giant is now taller and faster than it was before and incorporates overbanked turns.

why do they have to do dumb shit like this? the texas giant used to be a cool family coaster. now they just had to go and make it too damn scary for the kids, they should have taken an example from will koch (R.I.P) from holiday world when he designed the voyage rollercoaster for the entire family without having to do the damn vertical drops and loops and the other crap they did to the giant so to me the Giant is truley dead and gone....

@coasterbuff19721 Personally, I don't feel the scariness quotient has changed. While the new TG has overbanked turns, a steeper drop, and more speed, you have to consider the trade-off. Before TG's renovation, it was bumpy, rickety, and sometimes painful. My opinion is that the old version has moved from a physically demanding ride to one that is mentally intimidating.

Rode it today it was, in my perception, better than the Titan

ive been slowly going to parks farther and farther away from home and i have to say that over texas is the best within 800 miles. georgia has it beat.

I freakin love roller coasters, but this one scared the livin piss outta me. I seriously thought I was going to be thrown from the car on the top of every hill. Screw the "air-time" mechanic, it hurts like a mofo...I'll stick with the Titan.
