Do you guys think Millennium Force should be considered a Giga-Twister? It really doesnt have the classic out and back design of most big steel coasters, yet there isnt a helix.

Just call it a "Freeform" coaster.

Well, I think, in a way you could consider it a double out and back twister hybrid.

Out-Up the lift hill, down the first drop, up the second hill
Back-Down second hill towards station
Out-Turns left away from from station, over the hill, and does it's twisty thing out on the island.
Back-Over another hill towards the station, and turns left for it's last hill and break run.

I'll stick with freeform also.

A true giga twister would be a very scary thing.
Just think 90 mph straight into a huge helix and then corkscrews and vertical loops.

Millenium Force is not a giga twister. How many times does it cross over or under itself? I don't belive it does at all. To get an idea of a giga-twister, think Raging Bull +100 feet! That would be a wicked ride!

V2, Deja Vu... how can it be better? Add Viper! Oh, wait. It's already there!

It goes under itself on the island right before the second lagoon hop

Oh. I guess I was wrong. I wanna change my story now... How about this: To be a twister, it has to go over and under itself many times! :-P

Actually, MF goes over and under itself 3 times on the island if you want to get technical. I wouldn't call it a twister though. I like free form coaster, that fits.

I usaully just refer to it as GOD anyways.

It's a Giga-Coaster. Does it need another name or classification?
