Kingda Ka VS. Top Thrill Dragster

[TTD03]

Just Bringing This Up Again.

TTD is awesome... the theme fits perfectly with the ride.

American Eagle is still my favorite Intamin. =D

I still put Son of Beast ahead of both of them. [sillyme]

I think both of them suck equally. They both use a hydraulic cable launch system, I will take a LIM blowing up beside the train over a cable to the face any day. Last I checked when the cable fails it totals the train, when a LIM explodes you simply tell guest the special FX are only intermittently working and run it till it valleys.

LIM rides have a less chance of rolling back, but it does happen on rare occasions when the computer pitches a fit about something safety related, or a operator denounces his desire for a raise and better working conditions by pressing the E-Stop mid launch. None the less, roll back on LIM ride, hilarious, roll back on Intiman cable launcher, lame.

Not to mention you don't have to perform rag test on a mile or so of cable every morning.

While cant vouch for TTD, I really hate Kingda Ka, it's way to rough, and way to boring. I can imagine that TTD is less shakey/painful, yet also more fun b/c of the simple lap bar restraints.
