Wow, this coaster's supports are big...I think a lot

of people might be dissing this coaster because of what park it's at...don't

judge a coaster just because of what park it's at...or, don't judge it just

because it'lll beat TTD...This coaster's going to have sweet

airtime!!! Can't wait for more updates!!!

New pic from gadv.com forums, not much height has

been added but the cammel back is halfway done, and the tower is half way done. KK 12/2/04

[ChEtCoAsTa]

Wow... that camelback will be awesome! Gives

me a reason to go back there next year..,

[Tyrant]

Yea, and I did some calculations using the speed and

height of the hill, and it should be crusing over that thing at approximatley 103-105mph.

Now if only I could figure out what the radius of that hill is, then I could figure out the

G's.....

[Metalhead]

Did you ever realize how short the break run is?

It's about a third shorter maybe even more thand TTD's

[NitroRyder33]

There will be brakes on the downside of the airhill.

[Dakanektr]

Magnetic right?

Wow I really can't wait until May 27 now. Just to see a train fly at 100+ over

that camelback would be schweet video op, but nothing compared to riding it.....

[NitroRyder33]

Wont be open till early June...but yeah its magnetic

brakes.

Yep, They are not going to open Kingda Ka until

the whole Golden Kingdom section is done, and it seems as if they wont start GK

construction until after KK is done. They will have one big Grand Opening for both the

Golden Kingdom and Kingda Ka, cant wait...ill be there! (Either working (hope

not) or attempting to be on the first ride!)

^ I was just thinking that while looking at the pic.

I never expected it to be that big while watching the clip when it came out.

[Stealthy350Z]

^^Good job figuring that one out... (Sim-Ple posted before

me)

The break run will be short, but you can barely feel anything on

TTD's brakes. It will still be a nice slow gentle stop.

[Dakanektr]

Or so we hope,

LOL, but I a sooo mad!!!!!!!! Why

don't they just get their rears and gears and do construction on GK at the same

time, all I've seen so far is a few white

tigers!!!!!!

[MillenniumMan310]

lol everyone on the internet is so amazed how big the

camel back is. Just wait till its next to a 456 ft tower, it wont look that big anymore.

Plus the cammel back wont provide as much as a thrill as many think, because like

nitroryder said, there will be brakes down the hill, so youll be slowing down before you

can get maximum airtime.

Yep,

They are not going to open Kingda Ka until the whole Golden Kingdom section is

I

really hope you kidding, because thatll be very careless of sf to do that, especially

because no one really cares about the GK, only about KK.

[Dakanektr]

*smacks head*
DUH!
Typical SF

for ya, not opening a coaster till all the food stalls are in place-lol

[KMAIMaster]

You complain now, but had they opened KK before

GK, you would've been whining about how lazy SF is for not waiting...



Maximum

airtime? The way that hill is shaped I don't think you'll be feeling much of

anything...

The way that hill is shaped, if they made it any steeper

the airtime would hurt! Remeber the train will be going around 95mph at the

crest!
