It had enormous problems with the hydraulic launch system before it opened. It took weeks of testing to get it to its top speed because the hydraulics were only launching the trains at 128 mph (ironically) (On hydraulic launch coasters they go from low speed to top speed during testing, and it wouldn't go past 128). They resolved the issue, and I don' think it's had mechanical issues since.

I never understood the whole "top speed" thing for this coaster. It reaches 149 then immediately goes into trims which bring it down quite a bit. It's only the world's fastest coaster for less than 5 seconds.

Also SFGAdv still markets KK as the world's tallest and fastest lol.

^Really? Usually when I go they do mention the height record, but they always say "The fastest coaster in the continent" or "the U.S.' and not "the second fastest in the world".

It says it on my park map. I'll give you a picture when I get back home.

The Intamin Shuttle has started to Go vertical





And Update on Aces. Definitely my vote for best ride of 2016.

It looks like it will be a great ride, but my vote still goes to Taron due to the immersive theming.

Oh my god. Anything IntaRide touches is insane, and this is going to be freaking amazing. It's reminiscent of Lightning with the mix of airtime and inversions but with Intaride's psychotic way of dealing with forces. Intamin plz come back to the U.S., we miss you.

Well, am I the only one who ridiculously thought like "Formula Rossa" would have an extended hilly section, because of the same track color with "Flying Aces"?

^Yeah, the all-white is because of the desert heat. It looks weird, and yes, it's identical to Formula Rossa

Did anybody else catch that the lift truss now has three main members instead of four?

Maybe they needed the extra strength for height?

^Probably. I305 is considerably taller so it's safe to assume it has something to do with height

Epic af! Intamin is the best

I must say, double spine track looks pretty damn good on an overbank

looking at the park map on their website, it looks like two new attractions are coming soon!

Actually its three. Flying Aces outside, The SFX coaster replacing the log fume, and the Intamin shuttle is going to have its spike where the drop tower was.

technically it's not expanding, as two rides are/have been removed and new ones will replace them.

WHAT

Oh my... this is beautiful...

The catwalks are on both sides of the lift. Perhaps this may have the Skyrush trains.

In other news, that loop is HUGE . That drop is looking to be amazing as well.

I love that we don't know the full layout of either of the new intamins, but they both look fantastic

[Mr. Freeze]

That's because they never let us down with a surprise

I thought like you would say "WOT" loop.
