It opens up March 28th.

yeah, no way in hell i'd be getting on that thing

Kingda Ka looks like the most vertical roller coaster, the way the rails twist looks as though the roller coaster should fall from the track:

How does the not come off the rail?

Also a couple of the support poles were way too close.

Some poor person just to have their arms stretched out instead of keeping them inside at all time....

The roller coaster is not in position long enough, it's going too fast. The vantage point from the front seat probably looks worse than it is: most of the roller coaster following the first car is still firmly on the track going over the hump while the first car looks like it is going underneath the track.

The most seemingly unsafe ride I've ever been on was a water slide when I was a kid. Several stories high and quite vertical, you would get a little airborne and get abrasions from bouncing away from the slide and coming back to it again towards the bottom. It was also notorious for ripping off people's bathing suits.

I almost puked just watching the vid

All it takes is for the Roller Coaster Tycoon player to delete a portion of track to have yourself launched a few miles into a house.

I just can't do rides that do nothing but loop or spin in circles like merry go rounds- those aren't in any way fun to me, the sensation of feeling dizzy and nauseated is not thrilling.

I got dared into riding a Thor's Hammer at some crappy carnival one time, and I had never been so off balance in my life afterward. For the whole day I could do nothing but sit down.

It was a tower with two mechanical swinging arms with cages where the riders would sit where the 'hands' would be. And the arms swung 360 degrees, and would reverse and go the other way. The worst thing ever.

Is it wrong that I immediately thought of this?



And this cover was well done too:



The Jedi Master

I really don't want the guy sitting in front of me thinking of the ride as a love coaster.

The rails have a tubular cross-section. There are rollers riding along the outside edge of the rails to provide lateral security, and rollers riding along the underside of the rails to keep the cars from lifting off of the rails.

Yeah, not at that airspeed...

Other than that first hill, it seems pretty lame. Of course, that first hill is all I needed to see in order to say "no thanks!"

Hmmm. Looks like it's time for me to make a trip home st the end of the month...

Exactly what I was thinking when I watched the videos.

Okay... how about when it's nearly upside down?

Gravity doesn't take a vacation.

I would ride it, to bad its to far away.

I have been on 2 roller coasters in my entire life.

Never again.

Once in San Antonio at Six Flags.

Once in New York on Coney Island, can't remember the name of it.

This one should be interesting (and awesome rendering job)...
