hmm... not sure about it really .... does that look good or not ? That video makes it look a lot tamer than it no doubt is in the flesh

All i can say is fuck that. Wouldnt catch me within 100 mile radius of that thing

[RaG]Ethel · 20-Jun-2005, 11:34

going over the top looks ok, but corkscrews are dull as anything. Watching the POV footage it gets to the top really quick, so there's no "clack-a-clack-a-clack-a" panic inducing moment as you go up the lift hill. There's none of the oblivion "dangle you there for a bit" madness either.

Having said that, I'd ride it

Six Flags Great Adventure's Kingda Ka roller coaster is not currently in operation. We are working diligently to bring the ride back in operation as soon as possible. However, we do expect it will be closed for several weeks.

We realize that our guests' expectations for this record breaking coaster are especially high. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this temporary closure may cause.

Don't think white is the best colour to wear when your riding it for the 1st time with a camera pointed at ya

LOl!

those clips make it seem like that ride lasts maybe all of 20 seconds o.O

Oh... my... god...

I love coasters, but would I have the guts to go on that?
