Giga Coaster

The Giga Coaster has the highest height limit of every coaster type by far and the lowest friction, so a train that drops from the top keeps its speed around a very long layout. It can build steep slopes, vertical drops and top hats, but it can’t loop: its excitement comes from speed, drop height and airtime.

The game rewards a big first drop, but past a point extra height earns less: the drop’s excitement tapers off at great heights, so a sensible Giga mixes one huge drop with several smaller airtime hills. It also carries the most riders per train, six cars of four.

In Park Baron the Giga Coaster can rise 157 m above the ground under its track. It can build steep slopes and vertical drops and top hats, but not tight turns and loops and corkscrews. Its trains run 6 cars of 4 seats, 24 riders a train, and its station is 5 to 12 tiles long. Track costs $125 a piece and the station $2,200; it costs $1,250 a month to run, and guests pay $5 a ride by default. The type adds 0.50 excitement to whatever the track earns, and its rolling friction is 0.009. Children are too short to ride it. It comes with Park Baron Premium.

Its showpiece design, Titan, climbs 70 m, reaches 79 km/h and pulls 4.3 g, with 0 inversions over 460 m of track and a 47-second ride. It rates 7.59 excitement, 6.79 intensity and 3.91 nausea, costs $18,456 and fills 24 × 39 tiles.
