Banshee Back VII Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 The only three I have ridden (Mantis, Riddler's Revenge, Shockwave) aren't painful, and very enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Georgia Scorcher is by far the most comfortable. Apocolypse at Six Flags America is almost in Roller Coaster at New York New York Casino and Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia territory. Almost, but not quite. Riding it makes one wish for the Apocolypse--at least the ride would be over. Plus, when you get off, the rest of Six Flags America is...yours to...enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Many times. It's a good ride. Georgia Scorcher is better, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 King Cobra. By far. SkyRider is very close. Shockwave, not so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 If King Cobra is by far ahead, how can Skyrider be very close? And what is so different between Skyrider and Shockwave; they have the same layout? Stickler BB7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 They don't have the same layout. And even identical coasters can run very differently. See Hurler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sorry. I thought they were the same. I guess Skyrider and King Cobra were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee Back VII Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 POV's are the best source, as with own personal memories. The only difference I can see is that Skyrider has a longer trick track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuy11 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have seen this stated before and I will state it again: Wikipedia encourages its users to use secondary sources. Therefore, I do not recommend using it as a reliable source. Same goes with Screamscape. ThatGuy, who learned this the hard way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Screamscape's sources have included, for example, KIC and its users. More than once. One time, a rumor, unique to here, made it there, prefaced with "Insiders tell us..." Snort. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 ^Are you seriously comparing Wikipedia/Screamscape and their obvious tendencies to have false and inconsistent information to something that is a proven fact? What loopholes? What is this I don't even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Screamscape is more legit than Wikipedia. But I see with my eyes first. Then I believe it.

Banshee Back VII Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Are you trying to insult the religion of Christianity? Note that I'm not mad, just asking an honest question.

Oldschool75 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 As a Christian I hope not. I'm guessing you were not alive or remember the 80's? If not, I suggest researching the two. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylar.heizer Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Although Banshee is good ride, Kings Island needs something to really put them back on the map. To be honest, Diamondback isn't really that tall in comparison to the giga and strata coasters out there. I would like to see a giga coaster come to Kings Island in the next couple of years. Something fast, like over 90 mph and maybe it could be the longest steel coaster in the world; they could name it 'Steel Beast' or something in The Beast family. I've been going to Kings Island my whole life and although it will always be my favorite park,it's losing some of it's sting with the intensity of the coasters. I think the reason is that Cedar Fair doesn't want any of their parks doing better than Cedar Point, but CP is running out of space while KI has a lot of room to work with. Come on Kings Island I've been waiting a long time for a giga and so have a lot of other thrill junkies. Break free and give us your worst!

The Interpreter Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They already did that. 2ooo. How'd that end? And Welcome to KIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 CP is not running out of space If anything they have am easier terrain to do more with than KI's undeveloped ravine IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah but Kings Island's terrain can be used for unique elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes, but a future new area that will expand will be quite difficult to make..think of all the stairs, ADA compliance, etc if they opened something back there. Put a ride back there ok just a bit challenging with the elevation changes. Areas back there, can be difficult. Again, CP has a lot of land, you as a guest just don't see it. Half of the back area of the park is largely undeveloped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Which leads one to wonder, would Dollywood, Magic Mountain, Dorney Park and Six Flags Over Georgia be built today where they are? It is to wonder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
