The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 That won't be happening as long as the head honcho personally micromanages such activities to the nth degree. Those there will comply. Those who might otherwise be interested, won't be. Quote

BeeastFarmer Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Looking forward to our Kroger purchased trip in'16. Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Same here. Should I wear a bag over my head? 8 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 "The first coaster in America that will feature a barrel roll." Wait......What was that?.... The first roller coaster in America to feature a "barrel roll"......?......Really? Think again. Check up on that again. I'm sure you'll find at least a few coasters in America with a "barrel roll." Oh! Did someone say a Barrel Roll Drop? CORRECT! 5 Quote

Sure, it's defunct, but technically Storm Chaser is just the only coaster with a barrel roll drop in the U.S., not the first ever. 1 Quote

CoasterDirected Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 As long as the general public doesn't remember a long past Arrow Mega-Coaster, who cares, right? Quote
RailRider Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Good ole Drachen Fire, a rather well paced Arrow Multi Looper that was rough as all get out. The corkscrew first drop was a bit odd 3 Quote
PhantomTheater Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Mayhaps B&M thought it was a good idea. 3 Quote
rhyano Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Shout out to the kid on Instagram who says Kentucky Kingdom has a "large" budget for coasters and attractions, I wonder if he works for Mr. Heart, I had to correct him on Kentucky Kingdom facts many times 3 Quote

themuska11 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 That looks like a very nice airtime hill in that picture. 8 Quote
calakapepe Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Love a ride that swoops all the way to the ground <3(Beast, Banshee, Backlot etc.) 6 Quote
MDMC01 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Saw a similar picture on Screamscape and I can't believe that much trackwork is already done! EDIT: Maybe there's a reason... or not... 5 Quote
CoasterDirected Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 That track looks VERY sharp, but I think it should have had green or blue track. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 But then it wouldn't match the other bright red thing or the Kinzel Koasters. 8 Quote
calakapepe Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 The push for red paint might get pressure from the manufacturer, seeing as they seem privy to the color aswell. Luckily, some Six Flags parks are now opting for colors other than red or orange. 3 Quote
medford Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I once read that the reason the "little old red school house" and "old red barn" were always painted red was because Red colored paint was the cheapest available at the time. 5 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If past is prologue, the red will be pink in a few short months. 4 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Maybe they are using a different paint? Maybe not? T3 has been red for over a year now and still looks nice, as of my last visit during the state fair. Although, I would have liked to see a contrasting color... 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 As Tuesday comes, insiders tell me that The New Kentucky Kingdom's political future is all but assured, based on recent polling. 5 Quote
WMAJrKY Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 As Tuesday comes, insiders tell me that The New Kentucky Kingdom's political future is all but assured, based on recent polling. Yeah Matt Bevin knows the writing is on the wall. He's been particularly nasty this week. 1 Quote
Aaron88stang Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 It's been a pretty nasty election cycle. I honestly can't see myself voting for either of the major candidates. 1 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Yes, the campaign has been rough. I would never give up my obligation/right to vote however. I will be glad when the Kentucky negative campaign is over, but then the national campaign moves to the Centre. Oh well... 3 Quote
Aaron88stang Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Oh I did not say I wasn't voting, just probably going to "waste" it on the other guy with no hope of getting elected. The D and the R are both a** hats. 2 Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 With this news, I will stand and say I am happy for all of those who have wanted to see the park succeed. This is one hurdle cleared, and I wish a long future for your park. 5 Quote
