Creed Bratton Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for sending that link. Now I want KI to have a Jump2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I would like a Jump2, but only if they could flip the seats to the other side of those arms, facing out. I'd much rather watch the views than other riders' faces. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorarius Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The most enjoyable part of a Jump2 is the surprise you get when it isn't down for maintenance... Don't get me wrong, it's a fun ride... When it runs...But it's down for maintenance more than any other ride in the park... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 You know, that was the thought that came to my mind when I watched the video: I bet maintenance is a nightmare on that thing. Not surprised to hear I was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Correct, the maintenance has been a challenge, bu the ride experience is a ton of fun! I really want one, maybe updated to not have so many issues lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 HUSS. Modern HUSS rides include Tomb Raider: The Ride, the KI and CP Deliriums which have required a great deal of unexpected maintenance and the Dollywood ride that required a sign and a lawsuit as it apparently never worked reliably and was often closed. The Jump2 at NJFTP was quietly and rapidly removed. I suspect you'd see an INTAMIN coaster at Kings Island before you saw a Jump2. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorarius Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Tell you what, maybe someone could arrange a trade: we`ll send you the Jump2 in exchange for designing a good wooden coaster for us... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks for posting that link, I've poked around there a few times, reading up on Great Adventure's history Also, Jumpin' Jack Flash looks a lot different than Slegehammer (this is expected, considering it was a prototype). I think that a Jump2 in Action Zone would be sick (as in awesome/cool)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 If we're talking Huss, we might as look to the older, reliable rides. How about a Swing Around? Check out the Corn Popper at Darien Lake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 See: http://www.greatadventurehistory.com/JumpinJackFlash.htm SUCH a wonderful site! Interesting. NJFTP's Jump2 had the seats mounted above a platform while on the one at CW they are suspended below. Did that have any noticeable effect on the ride experience? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yes. I suspect it greatly contributed to the wild, seemingly uncontrolled ride (and maintenance problems). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
