The supports are different from dragster on the pull up.

:lol: ^ good point

Anyways, this ride is going to be awesome, and the tower is already looking huge. I

am looking forward to this because it's closer than CP and has a hill thrown into

the mix. ScheetneZZ

Eh, whatever. I'm still exciting and I will be

opening day...

For all I care, GADV could get a family coaster and

I'd be excited...

I just don't like how te basicly took TTD's

layout. Its a coaster though. I will still ride it and I will like it. The footers are different

than TTD's. Is it because of a speed or height reason?

I am excited about kk because i think it will be cool to

see something that tall at gadv for a change, plus itll be a good ride. Im more excited

about seeing it than riding, mainly because i have ridden ttd and already know what kk

will be like. Now i dont feel it was a good choice on sfs part, and i would of prefered

other types of coasters ahead of it. I am much more excited about hydra then kk, but i

still look forward to having another coaster at gadv, especially one that will take lines

from the other coasters. Ill probably get on KK very few times this season, do to the

lines and down time (yes it will have down time, ive yet to know a coaster that hasnt

had down time in its first year, especially a coaster of that that size) but i hope to get

on the other rides much more. Itll be interesting to see how gadv handles this,

because i know alot of guests will be disapointed for spending there whole day waiting

for a 20 second ride, and people will be even more upset when they travel and the

rides closed, CP handles there guests great, i wonder if sf will do the same. I hope to

ride it on opening day, as i did with super man (although itll be hard convincing my

parents to let me miss school on the friday it opens, but i think they may have a CAD

before opening day anyways.). I still say many people are getting there hopes up to

high about this coaster, and alot will be dissapointed with the season. I just hope that

when i go in 2005 they have the whole park running better, not just invest everything in

the golden kingdom, which im expecting to be nicer than JP at IOA, because thats

how big a deal sf is making out of this section. I really hope sf knows what there

doing, because there bragging about this record so much, its going to be bad for them

when they loose it......

I'm sorry, but I have to say it. I like this coaster

so far better than TTD. I know it's not finished, but from the construction I get

a way different feeling than I do when I see TTD.

Sf needs to run more trains than they are, only 4. And I

think they need to get decent staf for this coaster. anymahoozies cool coaster + bad

staff + 4 trains = DISASTER

Dont worry about bad staff for KK, They are holding

interviews for those who want to work that ride...And you also need at least one years

worth of Coaster experience, which makes me not legible to work at it.

Youve only half a

^He's only worked there since September, which

correct, does not make him eligible. And yes, a season counts has a year.
