The Interpreter Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 ...the break run.... It breaks there, I presume? Terp, who wasn't aware it was an INTAMIN. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Vekoma's break themselves as well. Roller skater always messes up when the load changes from light to heavy and goes too far into the station causing a fault. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Does the guide wheels on T3 have a effect on the track due to them hunting for the track because of the gap? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have no idea. I only worked in 2014 and T3 was still T2 and SBNO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Kentucky Kingdom has challenged Donald Trump to ride Storm Chaser. Apparently he's going to be at the Kentucky Expo Center on the 20th for an NRA convention. http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2016/05/18/ky-kingdom-invites-trump-ride-new-coaster/84547686/ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Believe it or not, Trump does not wear a toupee. The hair on his head is his actual, natural hair, just with a weird style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenban Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 And color. Which changes constantly. I truly doubt THAT's HIS hair. I remember seeing an interview with a hair transplant specialist. Turns out it is his hair just not originally from his head. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Trump knows what hes getting into if he goes to the park, the clientele and neighborhood around are not exactly the safest, and SS would have a security nightmare on their hands... or at the very least tedious. I hope I visit Kentucky Kingdom this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Secret Service is already aware of the neighborhood and is planning for it, given that he's already scheduled to speak at a convention across the parking lot from Kentucky Kingdom that day. Not to mention that said convention is for the NRA, and thus will be host to probably thousands of lawfully armed citizens, of whom I'd guess the vast majority are Republican (or at least conservative). Thus, my fear would be for the safety of any idiot that attempts something stupid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Honestly he is probably safer at Kentucky Kingdom than he would be walking down Wabash avenue. A place that he DEFINITELY has been and will continue to be in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Given who controls the Kentucky governorship, legislature, appointments to the Fair Board, the land upon which the park sits, and much of the park's fate, this move is quite brilliant. And all the free publicity to boot. Should Mr. Trump actually do this, the publicity for the park.... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 And Mr. Trump is a resident of New York. Which means if he showed up, he'd be an out-of-state visitor, which the Hartland loves* *some exclusions apply (Interpret that as you will) 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joncars05 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ^KK is pushing hard for the out of state visitors. They have 2-3 different commercials that they are running for the Indianapolis area. One features the smaller rides, one features Storm Chaser with Purdue engineering students raving about the ride, and the other is touting the overall resurgence of the park. All feature the $29.95 two day, free drinks, out of state deal. But they are hitting the area hard. They have placed the commercials on all of the farmer give channels and run them in the mornings possibly targeting stay at home moms. I know it has worked for at least one person because our babysitter, who knows we are coaster nuts, asked us if KK would be a good place to go for her and her children. I said from the looks of it it is. You just can't beat that price. It's so low that even if you didn't have a good experience in the park you can just go home and not feel taken advantage of. But if you like it (the deal is unlimited, so you can use it multiple times in a year) you can spend 2 days in the park with free drinks and only pay $30! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 One of my co-workers asked my opinion: For her four year old--KK or Cedar Point. I said KK, but I have no knowledge of CP. But I couldn't imagine driving a four year old14 hours both ways, for a few kiddie rides. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I decided to pickup an annual pass at most I will likely only visit twice but with the free parking it makes the most sense to me. I went once last year and the only reason I am even planning on visiting this year is Storm Chaser. RMC has been doing some fantastic work and Storm Chaser looks good from what I have seen so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Heading through the area en route to Nashville the second week in June and may stop at KK. If I stop on a Saturday or Sunday is that a clownstick move? How long are waits? I am considering a return trip stop on the following Friday if that means not face palming all day. Does it really matter? Got the partner in tow who doesn't like to wait for our beloved coasters. Just trying to ride an RMC a few times without her hanging her head in disgust. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTR Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Last year, it was hit and miss on weekends. Lines were never ridiculous on the days I visited, though. I don't know what impact Storm Chaser will have, but the pre-season weekend crowds have been pretty manageable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I plan on going to KK on Monday5/30 for the first time this season. I know it's a holiday weekend, but any idea what to expect crowd wise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Existential Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Going on the Sunday. Hope I don't get clownstick'd. Looking forward to it. What's the go to move there? Most importantly...where are all the basketball games? I want like three basketballs the first hour. Need to hold up the coasters by stowing my basketballs all day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 So... did Mr. Trump ever take Kentucky Kingdom up on their offer? In other news, I hope to be travelling down to the Kingdom very, very soon! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 No. or If he did, Kentucky Kingdom has the most incompetent PR people EVAH. Sad! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
