I never got to ride KingDda Ka, but seeing it get destroyed hurts. It was such an important part of turning me into an enthusiast around 2017 when I was about 9. This tears me up a little, but nothing lasts forever and hopefully the "record breaking launch coaster" ends up being just as iconic in 20 years. RIP Ka.

Yeah I really hate the name. It is just "Storm Chaser" but it sounds less cool and powerful. Like how could they not think of anything better??

Noooo the walk back to The Bat is nice

Oooh perfect place to have Amazon sponsor

Double helix on The Beast Twisted hill on Orion Orion drop (specifically in the back) The quick turn into the first helix on BLSC, I've always loved that since 2015, the first time I remember going to KI

Hahahaha KI won't be treated like Valleyfair, Dorney, and WoF in terms of large investments! Right? Right....?

Well, the definition could be in what Six Flags Mexico is getting. If that ends up being a new super boomerang, I'll be pretty excited for 2026, if it ends up being a family boomerang... Eek. I'm not totally against another family-thrill coaster, but KI's lineup is full of them, and we just got SSBR. Which, imo, is more kiddie-family.

Personally 1. I 305 (I just can't bring myself to call it anything else) 2. Orion 3. Fury 4. Millie 5. Leviathan I got my first rides on I 305 in the pitch black of night this past summer. That was something else. I think I ended up getting 15 rides in over 1 day and a night. At most 4 rides in a row before I felt I would pass out.

Orion's drop feels more powerful. The whole ride feels more powerful imo. Completely agree, I think if they made the helix tighter it would be better than Orion

Whining and expressing a very slight annoyance are different things.

While I don't disagree, Orion is a giga, it's still annoying that it's not 300 feet tall.

Yes you would totally feel those 13 extra feet at 90mph

Banshee having it's greatest operating season so far.

315ish feet is not THAT crazy of a height.

I believe Tron Lightcycle Run is sponsored by Enterprise car rentals

Yeah kinda figured. Fun to speculate though.

Why would the casket not be buried if SoB has been dead for 15ish years. Little odd....

@rexpostal I think the only way you could come to that conclusion about BeastFarmer's comment is that you yourself are viewing it with a "colorful" slant. Or maybe I'm just naive, probably the latter to be honest. Please don't burn me at the stake.

Completely forgot this was happening...

Causation and correlation are different things. Orion very likely did not cause a decrease in park attendance, that is a ridiculous claim. I'm sure you're rage baiting, but if you're not, I'll be praying for you to clear your mind.

I prefer minis over the larger ones because there's no mid-course brake run and the elements are generally tighter and more forceful

Let us have a moment of silence

I had the same thought. But it's not just little details at CAG, it's across the whole park. Both parks in many ways are very similar or identical, so much so that a couple of times I zoned out and thought I was at KI. But the main difference, other than rides, is the details. KD is a much more detailed park. More trees, more water, more theming, more charm. I'm not saying KD is a better park, I'm saying it's a more immersive experience. All thanks to minor details. Though I went on two absolutely dead days, so maybe I just had more time to take everything in.

Whole the idea to seriously alter The Beast might be completely ridiculous, it does give me optimism that the park is possibly willing to build a crazy, record breaking ride in The Vortex plot.

I'm a big no on the giga dive 1. All the dive coasters I've ridden (Yukon Striker, Valravn, Iron Menace), have been quite boring after the drop with lackluster forces. 2. A recent complaint with newer B&Ms has the been their rattle. I got my first rides on Iron Menace today, and it was shaky, not rough, it just had a slight shift. And there's a painful jolt turning into the brakes run. With KI's history of rattley B&Ms, I'm worried a newer one would be even worse.
