At least smooth out the track on par with how KD's runs. New trains would honestly be a help, especially with less confining leg restraints. An indoor lighting package and maybe some music in the spaghetti bowl (not sure how the weight would affect things with on-board audio, so I'll accept speakers in the bowl). Something snazzy to build up the launch would be cool, too.

I did see that Daredevil Falls is getting new boats. Perhaps more of a refurb is in store? silver2005, who's favorite flume is Daredevil Falls.

To me, the 4 across trains keep their speed better than the staggered trains. I think there may be issues with how the brakes handle that up in speed as well as the momentum they would sustain post-splashdown. I have Diamondback as my 5th favorite B&M hyper behind Fury, Nitro, Apollo and Bull mostly due to that faster pacing (especially Nitro and Fury).

Beast, upper deck of the helix before entering the tunnel, there are 2 potential potholes being created.

I hope it won't have the annoying shimmy that Wrath of Rakshasa has. EDIT: Also, why brown? It looks so dull aesthetically for a 300 ft coaster.

That's partially how pre-merger SIX got in financial trouble in the first place.

I somewhat enjoyed it in its looping form, but I only really tolerated it in the first 2 rows (I despised it post-loop removal). However, I do feel any good nostalgia I had was dashed once I read the forensics report from the 2006 incident and the terrible work RCCA and Paramount did to build and maintain it. The original Rattler at SFFT should have raised a TON of red flags for Paramount. If you look at any larger scale polls on wooden coasters, RCCA designs are constantly at the bottom. I can't even feel positive about the structure design as it as a whole contributed to all those people being injured. I look at it with nothing but thoughts of shame and embarrassment now.

I imagine you could ballpark it by knowing the wait times from certain spots given what parts of a certain queue are in use and doing a bit of calculations regarding the capacity (though you have to subtract the Fast Lane capacity on those affected rides).

So with the way everything timed out, I don't think I'll be going to KK this year, though I really want to go next year to check out the new area and whatever else Herschend has in store next season. I was also thinking of trying Knoebels and perhaps HP (or Longwood Gardens) in October, that's a mild possibility as I'm not going to have as busy an October as normal, but there's a lot else that may get in the way. I've been really wanting to try Phoenix and Twister at night.

The only coaster that existed while I've been alive and never rode was Ghoster Coaster due to it looking lame and always having a horrendously long line for what it was. After that just Sling Shot. Flight Commander is on that list, but I have 0 memory of it despite walking down Coney Mall many times for my dad to ride Vortex before I was of that height. I also never went on the tallest slide back when the mat racers were the 4 speed slides. There also may be a film or 2 I didn't see with the motion seats.

^I mean, there's a grain of truth given all the hassle it took to keep SOB running, and even then, it was still dangerous given Paramount's approaches to 'fixing' it.

Here's my question- why is this still open if they're constantly changing bad wheels?

So Pantherian did reopen, but according to a few KD fan pages on Facebook, allegedly, its shredding the new Intamin wheels and the water system may be failing.

I think all the bathrooms need an overhaul, especially the AC units.

Frankly I'm amazed ours has lasted as long as it has given the fate of other inverted Boomerangs.
