A couple points: I didnt dock the ride for it, but be aware that it has mechanical issues and briefly/frequently closes down to cool the engines. Also, if youre wondering "is it worth paying extra money for that Q-bot thing that lets you reserve a spot in line?" the answer is "you bet." OK, so, how was Kingda Ka? Id describe it thusly... :jawdrop: Yowza. It towers over everything in the park and looks uber-scary from the ground. Everyone seems amazed/scared of it. I saw one guy get off and kiss the ground. The opening acceleration is 0-120 in something like 3 seconds, and is breathtaking in every sense of the word. Then the climbing up (and up and up) and the big drop. Both of which are wholly vertical. Oddly those parts are much fun, and not too scary --- personally, I could see the track in front of me, but not all the way up or down. My friends + I came off laughing, in a "we escaped death" kind of way.  Its a short ride - less than a minute, but for pure power and adrenaline rush, coasters dont get much better.
