I conquered Kingda Ka

Thread Starter 
I went to Six Flags yesterday and the first ride I went to was Kingda Ka. I used my handy Flash Pass, and 20 minutes later, I was in the second car of the "Tallest, Faster Roller Coaster on Earth"!

You literally feel as if you are being shot up to the moon, and as you hit the peak, you feel a sense of peace as you look around and take in the view. Two seconds later, you come crashing down to Earth and thank God you didn't just throw up all over the people behind you. The ride is over before you know it, but man it's the coolest feeling in the world. I ended up riding it a couple more times -- never did get in the front though.

There was one guy ahead of me who looked cracked out, his eyes were all red and his hair was sticking straight up. He said he has ridden the Kingda Ka 185 times since it opened and it was his 8th time that day. He had goggles with him to wear in the front car so he could keep his eyes open the whole time.

The worst part was that the ride broke down after my last ride. My friends who were in the car behind me were strapped in and moving toward the launch area when the workers shut down the ride because the hydrolic pump was malfunctioning and wouldn't have created enough force to get them up the track. Can you imagine if they shoot off only to make it a third of the way up and then came rolling back down?

Although Kingda Ka was great, El Toro and Nitro were my favorite rides, followed by Batman: The ride and Medusa. Superman and Batman & Robin: The Chiller were closed for the season (boo!), and the other rides were pale comparisons of the ones just mentioned.

What a fun day. Has anyone else been to Six Flags and/or ridden the Kingda Ka?

I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was ten years old on Space Mountain. I can't stand them--they're not fun and I always have the distinct feeling I'm going to die.

That's kind of the point.

Which Six Flags did you go to, Diva?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it

El Toro is the roller coaster formally known as Rolling Thunder, correct? I haven't been there for a summer or two. Does it still beat the shit out of you when it takes a turn?

does the roller coaster have cameras all over the place so you can buy a picture of yourself with an extremely frightened expression on your face?

I don't think so. There was another ride called Rolling Thunder. We went on it while we were passing the time to get back on El Toro and it sucked so much. It literally rolls up and down over a number of small hilly tracks while thunder noises are made. It was really boring.

El Toro breaks the world record for steepest drop on a wooden coaster, and yeah, it whips you around like nobody's business. I think I got whiplash from that ride. I came off it with a wicked headache and a huge shit-eating grin.

Check out the link. It's got a video link (as does the Kingda Ka link in my first post).

Yeah, my friends and I knew where they were on each ride and did synchronized reaction shots. There were some really funny photos.

Almost every photo of people in the front seat of the Kingda Ka was with eyes welded shut and mouth agape in a scream of horror. Good times.

I used to work summers at Six Flags Great Adventure as a groundskeper/janitor - the fact that the ride broke down, and that certain rides (back in my day, it was the Sarajevo Bob Sled) are closed for the season (hell, some of 'em never opened up!). Oh, the stories I could tell.... you'd never eat or ride many of the rides there again.

Since I live in the same town as Six Flags, thank you very much, Diva, for pumping your money into my township!

As I worked for the company, I was one of the first to ride the Ultra Twister many moons ago (located, I believe, next to Rolling Thunder. Might have been Lightning Loops). They had a CBS news crew for the first launch. I was on TV, screaming my ass off. When the cameras went off, the ride slipped a gear, and damaged part of a track. The ride was shut down for about a month. Typical summer at GA.

Yeah, El Toro broke down twice while I was there and I still went back on after it reopened. It's an added thrill to the already hyper-sensation that you are going to die.

Alot of the rides would give you that feeling - especiaaly if you get stuck on one during a breakdown. The main Log Flume ride wasn't that bad, as there was a walkway nearby. You'd get unbuckled and escorted off the ride, and down a set of stairs near the apex (prior to splashdown).

I remember once when some girl broke her leg on Roaring Rapids - while she was getting emergency care (she broke her femur), the "men in black" (just like Disney!) showed up and started peeling off cash, free passes, etc. to assuage ger pain.

Those types of rides are great. A few years ago I went on the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio (of Tommy Boy fame). It was the tallest, fastest, etc.. when it was built in '03 and looks like the same design as Kingda Ka, just a little smaller. It's the only time I've ever been really scared on a coaster. They have the countdown lights, like with real drag races, to let you know when they are going to shoot you up the hill (0-120 mph in four seconds). Only, something went wrong when I was on it. The lights cycled down to green, but the car didn't move. They tried it four more times, but the car still didn't move on green. Then the lights went out completely. We sat there for ten minutes while they tried to figure it out. Finally, without warning, the car shot out of the gate and up the hill. I had turned my head to talk to my brother and ended up slamming the side of my face into the head rest. It was a good time.

Same thing happened to me on the HULK ride in Orlando.

The Beast is awesome. I think it's outside of Cincinnati (sp?) somewhere, at a park I remember being called King's Island - it's been about 15 years since I was there. It's a wooden rollercoaster, and it's really long and fast and noisy and a couple of wooden tunnel things that are awesome.

Holy crap!

Kingda Ka is similar in that they give you no warning as to when they'll shoot you up the track. You spend a good 2 minutes just sitting in the car, strapped in, waiting for something to happen. Every once in a while we'd hear a hissing sound as if the hydrolics were powering up, and everyone would start "wooo"ing -- then nothing. When everyone's nerves were so fried from anticipating the rush and we all relaxed enough to chat, all of a sudden the car would fly out of the gate and you'd get slammed against the back of the seat as it rocketed up the track at 130 mph. Not knowing when it was going to start definitely added to the fun.

Yeah. They're at the same park. Sometimes I wish the original ride was called "The Bitch"

Concur on the chili dogs.

Man i haven't ridden a great roller coaster in years. The have the Titan up at the Six Flags in Texas but I didn't get to ride it when we went last year. The last roller coaster that just made me wanna scream "HELL FUCKING YES" when I got off was Mr. Freeze at Six Flags, TX. I was like 14 and I wore earrings and the guy at the booth told me I was required to take out my earrings as they g-force from the ride could make the stems puncture my throat. Now that I'm a little older I think he may have been just telling me that, but at the time it fuckin worked and really made the whole experience that much more memorable.

And it's been closed every goddamn year I've been since that day.

My father and sister tried for damn near two hours to get me to go on Mr. Freeze. I almost relented, until I looked at the ride and saw not only does it send you on a vertical trip into the heavens, you do the whole ride in reverse after that. No fucking way.

Hell fucking yes. Such an awesome ride. I'm sure the years that have passed and the perpetual closed sign on front have probably let nostalgia make the memory a tad bit sweeter - but I'm sure it's still as bad ass today.

Another awesome coaster was the Dueling Dragons at Universal in Orlando. If you're in the second car or further back it's just a standard feet-dangler, but if you're in the first car you're convinced you're going to die as two trains leave the station at the same time and at various points in the ride they're barrelling at one another in a crazy fucked-up game of chicken - only for them both to veer off at the last possible second. You KNOW it's going to turn, you KNOW you're not going to hit that other train, but when you see those other people coming right for you with the same "HOLY SHIT" look on their faces...it's a fucking blast.

seconding Dueling Dragons. And I must say that Universal's Island of Adventure is the BEST amusement park that I've been too ever.

I think that the Incredible Hulk ride is easily the smoothest roller coaster invented.

That would be Skyline Chili. They have quite a few of them at King's Island. That's one of the things I miss about the Midwest. It's a sweet-tasting chili that tastes like it has cinnamon in it. Not everyone likes it, but I can't go to Cincinnati without getting a bowl.

I forgot about the Hulk. The only thing that sticks out in my mind from that one is that it starts off up the hill slow making that clink-clink noise and then out of nowehere - BAM - they launch you out of that thing. Isn't that the one that takes you under ground? That was pretty bad ass. Yeah, Islands of Adventure rocks the socks.

Busch Gardens in Tampa is an awesome park now, too. They've done a HELL of a job over there with the rennovations. Plus they have a new coaster that's supposed to be pretty cool...SHEIKRA

Islands of Adventure is indeed a fun park. The coasters kick ass, but Spider-Man is where it's at.

I forget the name of it, but my wife and my sister went on a coaster that lays you down flat before it moves, so you never know what's coming up. Also, it usually has you suspended from the track so you're facing the ground. She said it was pretty terrifying/awesome.

I'm partial to the suspended coasters with no bottom (like Alpengeist at Busch Gardens in VA; I forget the name of the similar one on FL). They're super smooth, and if you sit in the front it's almost like flying.

My brother rave's about the Spider-Man ride. The combination of a moving coaster and 3-D glasses makes the ride twice the fun. He said, in particular, there's a part where Spidy is swinging across the rooftops and he misjudges one and falls off the ledge, and the ride tips the car so you feel as if you are free-falling, and then Spidey shoots out a web, and the car sort of bounces a bit as if you just caught yourself. The way he described it just seemed so surreal.

Considering it stands out in a park that also has The Hulk and Dueling Dragons, I'd say it's awesome. They (Universal?) spent a lot of money on the ride and did it right. The illusion of movement (you do move, but not a whole lot) mixed with the 3D effects is brilliant. Too bad you missed it, but at least you have something to look forward to the next time you're in Orlando!

You go under a bridge/walkway eventually (complete with mist and fog), but you are right...there isn't an 'underground' part.

Orlando folks (or anyone else, for that matter): anyone ride 'operation: everest' or whatever the hell it's called? Is it any good? Does it make Animal Kingdom suck any less than it did? I'm going back to Orlando to visit my family in November, and we're going to hit the 'AK'. The media I've seen make the ride look amazing.

Yeah...that's what I meant...I knew you went into something and you got hit with mist. I was supposed to go back to Orlando this year but it fell through. Hopefully I'll be able to make the trip next year as planned and I'll definitely check out the Spider-Man ride.

Another great one (although it's not in IoA, it's at Universal Studios) is the Mummy Ride. Great mix of roller coaster, special effects and video monitors. And of course it's old as ass and is rather tame by today's standards, but the Back to the Future ride was a blast as well.

I always feel like my shoes are going to fly off on those but they're great. There's one at the Six Flags in Denver that has you going nearly straight down like you're going to plow into the ground but pulls up right at the last second. It's awesome.

I nearly blacked out on one coaster at Busch Gardens in Florida. I don't remember the name but it was one of the older coasters there. It went so fast around a couple corners that my vision started to fade away. It was scary.

Alton Towers in the UK has some good ones.

Oblivion is a (apparently) the worlds only vertical roller coaster, it drops you straight down at 60 miles an hour into a tunnel, and then sprays you with a mist to really freak you out.

Air is pretty good as well; you are strapped in and laid flat so you get the sensation of flying.

But the best one I have ever been on was an old rickety wooden one on Weston Pier ( that took you out over the sea) the thing was so old it really felt like it was going to fly apart at any second, it was apparently very unsafe and was taken down shortly after I rode it. Scary for all the wrong reasons.

Back in the summer of 1991 I visited Orlando and Back to the Future was brand new. I rode that thing at least 10 times the day we hit Universal Studios and it was simply the coolest ride ever. Now though, you're lucky if you exit without a broken bone or skull fracture. Time...what a bitch.

Back to the Future just closed at the Orlando park, I believe. Getting replaced with what will probably be a Simpsons flight simulator. It's still open at the Hollywood, but honestly, who cares? It's been a painful, nasty ride for at least five years now.

Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is indeed the single greatest ride on the planet. Nothing else comes even close, coaster or not. And yeah, Islands of Adventure is the world's greatest theme park.

I like X at Six Flags Magic Mountain a lot, the one where your seats rotate 360 degrees throughout the ride, which means you spend most of the trip upside-down or backwards. It's a mindfuck.

They finally closed it? Thank god. It was getting almost as dated and hokey as that Ghostbusters show at the same park that closed in the mid 90's. I visited two years ago with my family and I remember how unkept and dated it looked.

When Universal first opened in Orlando around 1990, I remember it being the biggest disaster ever. You had a better chance of winning the lottery than you did the Jaws ride actually working the day you were there. Kongfrontation was an hour wait for a forty second ride. And the less said of Ghostbusters: the show!, the better.

It's a pity they closed down the Hitchcock attraction and replaced it with Shrek 3-D, though.

Gotta agree with you there, Ken. The first time my wife visited England we went to Alton Towers & decided to do Oblivion first. I'd done it before but damn if that ride doesn't freak you out! They've really got it set up well, the creepy videos playing while you wait to get on, then the way the car hangs over the edge waiting to drop....that always got my heart pounding! After that Air is a joy, such a smooth ride.

The last coaster I rode was Wildfire in Branson, Missouri. Really didn't look like much from outside but when you climb the first hill you realise it's built in a small valley & the drop is way bigger than you thought! Some good loops & turns too. I remember getting my ears smashed against the head restraints on that one!

Done this one myself. It's a brilliant, warping, experience. I usually walk off a roller coaster and can relate the experience to someone, but when I got off X I had no idea what the hell just happpend.

Went to Fright Fest last night and rode 10 coasters in 8 hours without using a Flash Pass:

- Three times on Nitro: 2x front seat, 1x back seat

- Twice on El Toro: 1x in front seat, another in the very last

- Twice on Kingda Ka: 1x in front seat, another in the very last

- Once on Superman, Medusa, & Batman all in the front seat

Riding Kingda Ka in the front seat is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. It's truly an amazing feeling being that high, seeing a gorgeous view, and then falling to what feels like sudden death only to be happy seconds later than you are alive. The second time I rode it yesterday was after sun down and it was even cooler being shot up into the darkness. So much fun!
