Italian Job 2005 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 how about being named Troika, since it is a troika... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I usually hate when rides are named simply for what they actually are. It just seems lazy. It seems to work ok for the carnival type rides though like scrambler though (guess since the name tends to describe the ride a lot and everyone calls them by it anyway) so troika might work but as it had a name rather see it keep that or renamed something else. But really calling it Troika but because it is one would be like having named Tomb Raider as Top Spin or changing Delerium's name to Frisbee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The WindSeekers are named after Mondial's WindSeeker ride model (minus SteelHawk). But yes I generally agree that if you can take a basic ride model and add a bunch of theme to it (like what Paramount did to a HUSS top spin with Tomb Raider), it makes the experience ten times better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Scrambler and Troika are both registered trademarks. As such, they are always capitalized here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs_78 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This thread is a heartbreaker. I operated this ride during one season (with The Eagles). I haven't been on the Troika in a looong time but just seeing it on every visit reminds me of simpler times. I hope it returns. I visited Kings Dominion for the first time ever this summer and I freaked out when I saw their eagle ride haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the sake of avoiding confusion and so you don't have to read back: the park has made it clear that SR&R will be back. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I for one, am glad it will return. Hopefully, next season, Trey will be big enough to enjoy some of the bigger rides at KI. Although he's never been, so there's lots to do for him even if he doesn't reach 48" by next summer. After going to their web site, I see he is already big enough for SR&R. He's already 44" and growing fast. Edited September 9, 2014 by KIBeast 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeback Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Shake Rattle & Roll is back! With new LED lighting too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I have never really been a big fan of LEDs so this should be interesting. Also, I wonder if they took time to also add in a light show ala WindSeeker, that would be cool! But I would be just fine with it being white.
