 Review of Kingda Ka @ Six Flags Great Adventure
0 Rating Posted by: fishdefy on 6/28/2006 12:39:00 AM
To be honest, I was disappointed with Kingda Ka. Yes it is faster than Dragster, but by so little it isnt noticed. Also This ride is really rough. Not so rediclious but enough to cause a slight discomfort. One more problem I have is the OTSRs. They are not needed and really annoy me. Now Dragster came out way before this so naturally the two get compared. Dragsters launch is a little slower than Kingda Kas however you dont notice the speed difference. Kingda Kas theme doesnt fit as well as Dragsters does. Kingda Kas tower is bigger, but with the breaks at the top there is no airtime. So What Kingda Ka has left is its Bunny hill. The breaks come on way to early to get much Airtime. So yes I can sit here and point out what I dont like about this ride. However, if I didnt ride dragster first, then this would get a 10. It is a great ride. But Dragster still tops it.

Yeah, that was a solid review fishedfy. At least it proves that even the tallest & fastest roller coaster in the world wont always get the praise & accolades they think that it deserves. Kingda Kas the tallest & fastest coaster in the world, but it has as much problems with reliability issues as Top Thrill Dragster & thats horrible. Its like you have a 50-50 chance of riding it or not & its also a health & injury risk since Ive heard about the number of people being injured on Kingda Ka alone. I hope that Ill be able to ride it though sometime during the summer just to see if it lives up to the hype.

Its just that Top Thrill Dragster doesnt have otsrs. That is why people always say that the restraints arent needed.
