Yeah, it's

like Montu, Kumba, they just fit, unlike Kingda KA. What section of the park is this

ride going to go into?

[NitroRyder33]

Oh yeah...and i suppose "Hydra: The

Revenge" really fits perfectly......? I dunno about you other guys but after

working at SF for a while and seeing signs about it all the time, Kingda Ka is a pretty

cool name.....

[Dakanektr]

YEah it is, it

pretains to mythology revolving around the story of Hydra and Hercules...it is perfect.

Kingda Ka just sounds

too...............................................................COMMERCIALIZED! Sorry I

can't think of another word but it seems unoriginal......

[Tyrant]

and im

stuck with a near clone at my home town park

You are

*annoyed* that your home park is getting a 400+ft, 128mph coaster?!

Man.....nothing can please people can it?

I'm still stuck here with 2

clones, an old Vekoma, but 2 awsome woodies....and something large....but thats not

here yet.....

/\ - Gadv has many clones. BTR, GASM, Medusa, SUF, and now KK, all clones. Im just upset that gadv had to go for the record instead of something unique. I mean if you going to dish out 25-30mil why couldnt they build a giga coaster through the woods by medusa? Why not a nice long intamin woody? Why couldnt they get the dive machine or a b&m 4d? All of those i would take over Kingda ka, i just want one of our better coasters to be something thats different from others in the world. I mean, nitros type might have others like it, but the layout has a difference other than an extra bunny hill, and look how popular nitro is. I just think theres so many things better sf could of done with that money, everyone ive shown kk too has found negatives about it, especially on its shortness.

Now as for kks name and theme. I think it was a good idea for sf to combine there safari with there park, really only BGT shares that kind of thing with gadv. I dont think the section will fit in the park how ever, especially in the parkinglot. The name is cool, but it would fit in bgt alot better. If this area is as nice as the animation lets on, then the rest of the park isnt going to look very good compared to it....

[nyteflyte]

so what do you guys think of sheikra? better than

hydra?

[NitroRyder33]

GASM,

Medusa, and now KK, all clones.

GASM and Medusa were clonED we had the first one so...thats not logical.

And Last time i checked KK has a motherbitchin air hill after the drop....TTD

doesnt.....therefore....NOT A CLONE.....duh! A clone is an EXACT

copy.

Dont like it...dont ride it.....thats one less person in front of me in the

line..

^ yeah thats true, but it

seems that Gadv made this ride only as a cheap way to break a record, and they are

soo un-origional. I mean, they could have made a 500 ft, giga coaster instead, or

somthing like that or even thought up an entirley new coaster or somthing. Not to be

bashing 6 flags, but why dont they do somthing with Six Flags America! i mean,

they havent seen a new rollercoaster in a while! but i do like tha name, and the

airhill seems really cool, but no need for me to go out to new jersey for it, when ohio is

a lil bit closer.

[killer kitty]

umm, yea the name is

SheiKra, the ride will carry riders up 200ft, drop them at a 90degree angel hitting

70mph, a second 138ft 90degree hill/drop, a immelmann(<thats how its spelled on

rcdb), then a water feature. it will also include a 360degree climbing carousel(what

ever thet is ).with 3188ft of track

the ride time will be a littel over 3min,.....thats all....

[Toastermaface333]

^no, im talkin about the one

in MD. their newest ride is i think the penguins blizzard river. or somthing like that. or

maybe they got some other flat ride.. Plus, Sheikra is at busch gardens tampa...

[MillenniumMan310]

ok, heres where i stand. Gadv is odviously looked

up as sfs biggest park now, there are so many possibilitys they could of done for this

season, instead, they think the record will all of a sudden bring 10s of thousands of

more people to the park a week, which just isnt going to happen, mainly because they

made the mistake of breaking the record by making an ALMOST identical clone to ttd

thats a littlbe bit taller, just to say ther have the record. I can see gadv all ready

making a mistake of being all about the record, i meab how many times in the

animation do they say its the tallest and fastest coaster? I just think gadv is rushing

things to fast, and instead of putting in a unique yet still thrilling coaster like hydra or

SheiKra, they had to make a near clone just to hve the record.

I know

what most of you are thinking, CP fanboy! CP fanboy! First i just want to

say i hate when gadv people say that, because there just as guilty being GADV

fanboys. I am upset cp is loosing the record, not because im a "fanboy",

but because cps earned it. Cps been around for over 100 years and has proved itself

as the best park in the world. Why? Because unlike gadvs GM, Kinzel runs on one

rule, guests come first. Gadv is more concerened about there own satasfaction of the

record then the guests. CP has one the best park golden ticket for like 7 years now,

thats before mf and ttd, so theyve proven they dont need a record to be the best park.

Even though gadv now has the record, it still wont rank on cp, not until the

management gets some magor improvements!

lol i apoplgize for

going off topic, this election season has gotten me all wild.

[Westside7th]

Why is everyone talking about Hydra and Six Flags in

this topic? There are already topics on both of those subjects!

[Antinos]

Exactly. I'm lost with you guys argueing.



This ride looks so cool. I want to go to BGT again.

[nyteflyte]
