Cool pic. I don't know why parks don't leave as many trees as possible more often. They could have left trees all around Nitro, but cleared them all out. It's much more exciting when you're flying by trees at 80 mph.
Well, a Giga is worth $25 million, so I suppose a hyper is worth $15 million. Around that. Great Shot
It entirely depends on where it is built, too, and where the manufacturer is. I'm sure there are all kinds of taxes and tariffs that come into play as well.

Hmmm, well, our dollar sucks, so it makes things a lot more expensive. US$15 million works out to be about A$29 million!
Intamin is not a problem, they teamed up with the park to build one of the first Giant Drops in 1995 - A$10 million. Then there is T.o.T. A$16 million in 1997. ------------- The Buzzer Formerly Known As CoasterG-d

About the pic. What is that? It looks like an overbank but the track disappears probably not done yet I guess.
I wish they would have done as great of job of preserving trees on Millennium Force as they did with this. Not that they did a bad job with MF, just it would be beat traveling 93 MPH strait down into a forest! On the other hand, checking the tree's every minute to make sure the are not in they way is probably a pain in the but. ------------- Joe Lifetime Force Count-28
