mid-april.

Ahem, if hardly anyone besides locals and CE know about the ride, then how will I wait in line all day??? It'll prob. Be 3 hours, but i don't care, After I get off everything else is gonna be empty!(6 times on Nitro without getting off :WoOt!)

It is the tallest coaster in the world. It will have huge lines. MF had a 7 hour line opening day. TTD had a 9hour wait!

You are SO wrong with that comment...nearly everyone knows about this......There are signs around the park, A "Preview Building" for the ride, T-Shrits allready on sale, it was in the News and Newspapers...and We were told that to sumtimes after our closing spiel for the rides to say "And enjoy the rest of your day here at Six Flags Great Adventure, Future home of the Tallest Fastest coaster...Kingda Ka!"

So sorry, but yes the lines will be huge pretty much all year next year for this ride...

PS, they put me on Spinmiester...........so.....much....fun....

move anymore attractions around) They said, "We have a special method of getting room for our new coasters, it involves adding more land and expanding the penninsula."

So there you have it.

I doubt they told you that

[sixflagsfreak56]

Everything CC says is true, I went today. I didn't

see you at Chiller! Or at spinmeister!

(teer, teer)

[Stealthy350Z]

Spacious, yes...
Comfortable some what.

As long as you arent stapled in (sometimes the launch does it for you) then

your fine on SR, but I have come off with my thighs killing me due the restraints being

tight, and when you exert force on the restraints it hurts like hell.

One other thing I find hilarious about people, they

think that just because the coaster will be hauling over the hill, that its going to produce

extreme negative G's. Thats not true, its not about the speed that the car goes

over the hill, its about the shape of the hill. From the renders, looks like this hill will be

providing lots of nice long floater air. No negative G's. You can tell because the

hill is a low parabola shape, not a sharp triangle type like Magnum. Anyone who has

rode Magnum knows that its extreme airtime on the return hills, that is because they

have a very pointed top, unlike the first few hills that are wide parabolas.....

It's basic physics, since the Line of Force (LOF) has no sharp points or

sudden changes, that means the bodies inertia will stay in a constant pace. Take

Magnum for example, those triangular hills, when traveling up the straight edge, your

bodies inertia is heading up at a constant angle, but with that sudden change in

direction it causes your body to come outta the seat because your body wants to keep

moving up. On parabolic hills like Kinga Ka, or Millennium Force, the airtime is more

of a floater because the hill is shaped so that your body will be moving up, but gravity

keeps it down so much that you aren't being ejected. Its hard to envision, but in a

few years, when most of you will take high-school or college Physics, it will be more

understandable......

i kno... i hate that, but the lap bars feel more free,

and you have more movement. and the restraints on storm runner prevent you from

putting your hands up... and they kinda hurt your shoulders too. but since i love to put

my hands right up, i really wont like those restraints. TTD front seat... hands

up!!

[Westside7th]

I don't care how comfortable or spacious the

OTSRs are, they still will restrict the view and just take away from the open-air

feeling the Intamin trains have.
Like Toaster said, "TTD front seat....hands

up," been there, done that!

[Stealthy350Z]

I find Intamin lapbars very comfortable (at least the

ones without modifications) and I have never had a problem on them. As long as you

know how to keep from getting "stapled" then your fine. Where as

SR's restraints almost always come down and make a tight fit on your thighs.

[MillenniumMan310]

There are kingda ka signs all around the park but

people arent smart enough to to realise what they are telling them. It wont really

come out as a big deal to regular GP gadv goers until they see it for them selves. I

mean, the signs must not be that impressive if i heard a group of people coming from

nitro saying this,

person 1."man, nitros so tall, its crazy".
Person 2-"duh, its the tallest in the world".
person1-"yesh, i

dont think there will ever be one taller than that thing".

Me and my

brother over heard this this convo that happedned to take place by the kinda ka sign

near chiller, it was quite funny .

^question, why

doesnt anyone interrupt and make them looks like dumbasses? that is when the fun

begins. CC, I'm going in May, which I thought was opening day cuz DP and

Hershey Are like that time but just 30 miles south means two months earlier opening

day? It doesnt make much sense.
Anyway, I found out it is on May 27, School

day but Friday......I will be free from high crowds for some of the day at least......But

I will get on it if I have to murder my chaperone, I dont give a damm about two hour

waits, if she says lets go on Skull mountain I'll screw that and run to KK.
