Ki Man Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Went to KI yesterday..had nothing to do and hadn't been since last September or so. -Rode everything multiple times in 3 hours. Notable things: -Flight of Fear...I swear got new seats/grooved pads. Very comfy...insane ride. Probably the best of the day really. -Diamondback's rattle at the bottom of nearly all the drops, especially right before the TRIM hill make me nervous. The rattle/vibrations suck. KI better take care of this ride. -BEES. TOO MANY OF THEM! There was a swarm right by the front gate. -Son of Beast: Still closed haha. -Playing 'Vertigo' in 'Invertigo''s station. Lame. Let's see let's see. Vortex was pretty rough in the front seat...got punched in the jaw a few times. WindSeeker looks a bit more fun in person. But not prepared to wait more than 10 minutes for it. May upload some photos here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I seems KI needs some help in mainting it's first B&M. They know Premiers, Arrows, and Vekoma LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I wouldn't say it was running like crap haha. Still a great ride, nice strong airtime I forgot about. But if you watch the wheels and the contraption there when you go over the tops of hills they shake...looks like the wheels need to be tightened more to the track. I remember seeing the same thing when I worked on the ride...and it rides pretty much the same as it did in 2009 which isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Agreed on Diamondback...there is one train in particular that the wheels rattle terribly, feels like the whole thing is going to come apart. Kid and I went Tues at 5pm, left at 7:30, everything was a walk on. Did Diamondback 4 times, Beast, Invertigo, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, Italian Job twice. Beast was much improved over last year, as was Flight of Fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast was much improved over last year, as was Flight of Fear. They greased Flight of Fear's track, and they made the launch faster. And of course, Beast had all that retracking, it's very smooth now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
