[TheArchitect]

Wichita, Kan. - The New Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay announced at Midnight on Saturday November 17, 2013 that they will reopen the park this May with a new steel hyper coaster called the Lightning Run. Chance Rides is proud to announce that we are the manufacturer of this brand new roller coaster, the Hyper GT-X.

Lightning Run's action packed layout features a 100 ft, 80 degree first drop, nearly straight down. The coaster races through approximately 2500 ft of
track across high banked turns and multiple air-time elements. The Hyper GT-X features a brand new coaster train design with state of the art rider restraints.

Lightning Run is scheduled to open at the newly renovated Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay in May of 2014. You can see the new coaster train on display at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, FL until Friday November 22, 2013. You will also have the opportunity to see a 3-D video rendering of Lightning Run in the Chance Rides booth #5125.

I'm not a fan of the shin guards on the restraints but other than that, lookin' good.
Based on my current custom title, you can probably guess that I will really love this one.
I actually lost sleep over the residual excitement from the announcement.

Its great Morgan Chance is coming back into the game.

Looks like it'll be a good ride. I just hope it doesn't end up too "nice" like Mamba. Looks like Chance Morgan has been taking notes from other manufacturers though with those neat looking trains.

^That's because the guys that do the design from Rocky Mountain did this layout and trains.

THat would explain the odd looking banking and newton-like banking

Alan Shilke's company did the layout for this, as well as the train design (it's the same poop as Outlaw Run) and he is also doing those giant Poler Coaster things

Oooooohhhhhh. I assumed they were doing their own layouts independently. I was trying to be nice with my description of earlier (Cedar Fair) Morgan rides. Some of them just look like what I'd describe as "you tried".
