Wo wo wo! I couldn't be arsed to read what anyone has posted I just read the first thing in the thread and hit reply to topic straight away, I might just be reiterating some points but I don't give a poop

Seriously dude, do you count yourself a coaster enthusiast or what? Because from now on I don't count you as one, to me you just sound like a member of the public who's in over their head to be honest. Have you ridden it? NO, so shut up for a start, I really don't like to hear or see people poo pooing rides that they haven't ridden, how can you say its crap when you have no idea what its like? You can't! Have you ever ridden a rocket coaster at all? You don't sound like you have to me because otherwise you would think this ride was amazing. I've ridden Rita and the launch on that isn't half as good as the launch on this will be, yet I was still blown away, I would have queued all day to ride Rita from the front row again! So to hear you sitting there saying that you would be pissed off if you had to queue longer than half an hour baffles me, I queued for 2 and a half hours to ride Rita on the front row and it was worth every love second of it, that is despite the ride looking like its going to be poop. Yes this ride LOOKS like its nothing, but do you honestly think that there is anyhting else that feels even remotely like one of these Rocket coasters? Especially one that is launch from 0-128mph in 3.5 seconds. What KK and TTD are, are EXTREMELY good investments for a theme park to make. When you break a world record, instantly you have publicity and therefore instantly you have more visitors, more so than if you had just built a regular ride, like Hydra. Although Hydra looks a friggin amazing ride, I would be surprised if I heard that Dorney park had more visitors than SFGAdv this year.
I tell you what, you design a better 128 mph, 456ft tall Rocket Coaster, because I can garantee that you couldn't, in terms of park and consumer needs, KK has the perfect design. Riders pour on and off giving for a generous "riders per hour" figure, meaning more people can ride it, or people can ride it more times etc etc. You could say the same thing for bunjie jumping, "Er, yeah, you just have one big drop then you bounce around for a bit, thats it, rubbish, I'm a love knobend", yeah, but people still travel the world to do bunjie jumping don't they?
Basically, you're an idiot, ride KK, then look me in the face and tell them that you didn't enjoy it and then I will take that back [:)]
