    Vortex's Replacement?

    in KI Polls

    Posted

    I thought about this soon after I posted. I'd say there's a solid difference between dueling and racing. I'd be fine with a dueling coaster as long as it has strong elements and speed. Preferably a mobius loop, too, to increase duration.

    West Coast Racers just opened at SFMM but an S&S multi-launch dueling coaster would be pretty neat in that area. I think the closest dueling coaster to KI would be Lightning Racer at Hersheypark

    Gemini at CP? Racer at Kennywood?

    Granted, these are both very old coasters, especially Racer.

    Thanks for the detailed responses!

    As far as my standups go, I've been on 3 B&Ms. Vortex was absolutely brutal, Mantis was tolerable, and Green Lantern was awesome when I kept my head forward. I see why standups were so popular at one time, but are quickly fading away today.

    For those of us too young to even remember KC (I was born in 2000), what was the whole experience like? How would you compare a TOGO stand-up to a B&M? Was KC smooth? Also, I'm not quite sure where the entrance was. Was it right where Delirium's entrance is now? From early trip reports on Coasterbuzz I've seen that the lines for KC even during it's last few years were quite long. Was it actually popular or more a result of capacity issues?

    Tennessee tornado I assume, I don’t believe Drachen Fire used cad considering how horrible that coaster was.
    I definitely knew about TT. Yes, Drachen Fire was rough but it didn't seem to have those traditional Arrow transitions. Plus they tried 3 new elements (firsts for Arrow) with a wraparound corkscrew, cobra roll, and cutback.

    I wouldn't miss the CHAOS building if it left. The attractions they've had in there have been below average in my opinion, mostly due to understaffing. Restrooms and food would be year round valuable assets for the park.

    Can't wait to see how the whole Area 72 plaza looks next year! I expect we'll see more lockers, and additional seating areas along with the food stand. I wonder if it'll look anything like the seating by Banshee? The brief renderings in the preview video don't show it but I wouldn't put it out of question.

    4D Free Spin?

    I'd like to see S&S try a custom layout with the new generation of free spins. X2, Dinoconda, and Eejanaika all seem to get good reviews. I've been on Joker at SFGAdv and really enjoyed it.
