DropZone99 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It's an okay park.. Okay rides... but if SPOT is open do not ride it.. you'll come back with no legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Superman: Tower of Power is closed, and may forever be so. If it does reopen, you can be assured that both the park and the Commonwealth of Kentucky will be as certain as humanly possible that it is safe. Also, S:TOP formerly known as Hellevator had given literally hundreds of thousands of safe rides prior to the incident. The incident was most unfortunate, but it is very unfair to say that anyone who rides it in the future will come back with no legs. Do you also think anyone who rides Son of Beast will come back with a broken sternum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Decent park. I like it. Chang is awesome, and the sisters are fantastic. Never really seen a "huge" crowd there. Quite a bit of walking (especially to get to the "main park") you have to go over a bridge that goes over the highway. But all in all worth a trip.

The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 ...and the 'sisters' are now known as Twisted Twins.... Thunder Run is an excellent wooden roller coaster, though it runs only one train...a PTC by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks Interpreter. It's been about 5 years since I was there. They still have T2 (inverted coaster)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssdd1970 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 If you like ghetto carnivals! and don't waste your time at St.Louis either I don't know how that park made it 45 years? I'd like to smack the owner 45 times:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yep, T2 is still there. When I was a heftier person, I loved it. Nowadays, I, too, shuffle forward and backwards in the seats....It's different, that's for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo8820 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It's an okay park.. Okay rides... but if SPOT is open do not ride it.. you'll come back with no legs! Yet another inappropriate comment about a tragic situation...sigh. Also, it's STOP not SPOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo8820 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have mixed feelings about SFKK. It's my home park so I tend to like it. Is it as good as KI? No. Is it worth the trip? From Cincy I'd say yes. The park has really cleaned itself up over the past few years. The staff is friendlier, rides are freshly painted. Also, they spent a huge amount of capital during the 06/07 off season on the water park. In addition to new chairs, cabanas, a new kids area and fresh paint on everything they added Deluge which is very neat. I do find the park to be a bit lacking in the coaster department. Sure they have... Chang which in my opinion is better than Mantis Thunder Run one of the better wooden coaster I've been on Greezed Lightnin' a really cool classic shuttle coaster but other than that nothing special. T2 is a prototype Hang n' Bang so it "bangs" more than others and the Twins or Sisters or whatever they call them are boring as hell. They have some decent flats. Breakdance is insane! Of course there is the dutchman too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 oh i wouldn't expect it to be as good as ki, I'll probably go next year, all I remember was a lot of walking. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Most of the above comments are true. The park has an absolutely terrible layout which consists of a lot of bottlenecks and even more walking. They have a few good rides. I really like Grease Lightnin'. Can't say I care all that much for Chang. I also can't stand T2. It beats me up. In their defense, there are a lot of outside factors as to why they have layout issues, but I'm not going to get into that. It's worth a visit once a year, I'd say.
