i'm a bit nervous about this ride.. after riding kingda ka several times, i'm not sure how much farther these rides can go. i think we're comming close to the limit when it comes to speed.

I completely agree. I've only ridden kingda ka once but im never riding it again cause something bad is gonna happen.

^No, it's actually not. They don't design the rides to have bad things happen. It happened with Top Thrill Dragster; it had issues. So they fixed it after a year and its running fine. Kingda Ka is version two of Dragster, they've already learned from Dragsters mistakes to make KK as good as possible. Don't be arrogant and cowardly.

dude first the twin towers and then kingda ka. NO JOKE! [:p]

"TTD and KK aren't good coasters."

Says you.

I personally don't have a problem with either coasters, but to me, TTD is much, much smoother on the launch than KK is.

^ Never been on KK, but I've been on TTD at least 6 times, all of which were definitely worth it.

Thanks to Dirk for posting this initial topic. It has helped us becomed established in Google's eye as an authority site! We are the shizzle!

When I rode Hypersonic at KD...it really threw me around...I sure hope that this coaster is gonna be a little smoother cuz almost twice the speed of HXLC would be horrendous.

In the concept view of the train, it only looks like a seatbelt. Anyone know the restraint system?

The restraint system is a strong Russian woman.

^[lol]

Sorry, I think the only excuse for anyone saying being launched to 120 mph to a height of 420 ft is snobiness..

I wish I lived closer to Germany.

weird cars

so... the restraints are just painted sticks, where you legs are, are almost holes and the seats look like they're a few century's old...

they look like something you would find in star trek tbh.

No tires this time. Wonder if that will help, or not.

New 3dwork from the trains [:)] These trains look a bit more like the final trains they are going to use

So the wheels are on the outside! Or are they?

Those are SO cool looking. So exotic and aerodynamic-looking.

KK should get trains like that!
and it looks like theyll pretty elevated. or is it just the way it looks?

I don't like how it looks like they have wind blocker things on the front. Hopefully the front row will still get blasted with wind. That's the best part on Ka.

Huge Update!
There's now a video of the ride on S&S power's website!

The ride has some hills, but other than that just launches and slams into brakes. Fun.

What Austin? Look how low that front piece is...KK's hood is at your knees whereas that one is like ankle/shin height, which is pretty awesome.

But yeah the ride overall looks horrible outside of the launch. I would've gone with low turns the whole ride, kinda like the flat S curves at the end of El Toro. With that speed they would've been fun.
