Captain Nemo Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 With four Major roller coasters coming out this year, the coaster I look most forward to is Hydra the Revenge. Kingda Ka looks awsome but it is nothing I have not experienced (TTD). Hades looks okay but it seems like any other wooden coaster. SheiKra is something I would love to ride but comes second to Hydra the Revenge. This ride being unique, thrilling, and awsome makes me choose Hydra the Revenge. What roller coaster do you look most forward to other than IJST in 2005? Quote
Ben Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 My pick would have to be, Hydra: The Revenge. SheiKra, it looks awesome as well. It's unique, and should bring one hell of a thrill. Hades, it's nothing new, just another woody. As for Kingda Ka, I prefer Top Thrill Dragster. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I have to say Kingda Ka + the added tiger theming. That's cool. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Ben why in the world would you prefer TTD. I mean come on KK is taller, faster, better themed and has a second hill for more air. How in the world could you prefer TTD? Quote
goldeneaglecal302 Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Hades and Powder Keg, close to me and I know that I get to ride both of them! -Cal Quote
KIBeast Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 "How in the world could you prefer TTD?" Yes, please do tell how you can prefer a coaster that is not open and you have not rode to a coaster that is already built? I am looking forward to Hydra the Revenge. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 ^I see your point. But from looking at both rides you would have to admit that KK looks as if it will beat TTD in every aspect. TTD was built purely for speed and height and sence KK is faster, taller, better themed, and has the second hill so for a ride that's only purpose is speed I don't see how KK couldn't be better.

Captain Nemo Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 To me, speed and hight don't matter (well they do in some way). A ride I find as good as The Beast and I bet many of you have not heard of it, is ROAR at Six Flags America. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 ^I'm not saying taller or faster is better at all. I find lots of slower smaller rides better than some of the monsters. I'm just saying when it comes down to TTD or KK thats just about all that matters considering the speed and height are the only point of the coaster. Quote

That is not completly true you are forgeting the theming and story behind the ride plus the extrme launches. Quote
Jasper Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Probably Hydra because kingda ka looks identical to TTD. Quote
derbeast Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Beastie is more thrilling than TTD so Kingda Ka can't be that great. Quote
Ben Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 IN MY OPINION Beastie is more thrilling than TTD so Kingda Ka can't be that great. There you go! Quote
familyman Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I am planning on a trip to PKD and Busch gardens this summer. I wish Busch Gardens would post new information on the new dark ride. Anyone on here know more about the ride that the videos on the site dont mention. Quote
PKI Punk Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I have some knowledge about it, it is going to be bad @$$. No, but you are lucky, It was awesoem when I went on my trip to Virginia last year, both parks are good. Quote
TopThrill Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I want to ride TTD sooo bad! I here you man, I here you. CP here I come in May!!! Quote
familyman Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I have some knowledge about it, it is going to be bad @$$. No, but you are lucky, It was awesoem when I went on my trip to Virginia last year, both parks are good. Spill it man. What do you know about it? I think I am going to go in June. Quote
PKD4LIFE Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Paramount's Kings Dominion is way better and Busch Gardens. I mean PKD has 8 more coasters than Busch Gardens. PKD beats BGW and most people do perfer Kings Dominion. If you ever visit VA go to PKD because you don't know what your missin'. Volcano, The Blast Coaster beats BGW's @$$! PKD gets a thrill ride this year and i have ridden it. (Tomb Raider: Firefall) BGW is getting a slow dark ride... wow... but it does look FUN. Plus BGW is an oldies park while pkd is a teen and family park. My vote it to PKD! OH YEAH! CLICK HERE to see Tomb Raider: Firefall pics that I took! Hope you enjoy em'! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Well for me, I am most looking forward to IJST, simply because PKI will be the only park I get to visit this year, with the possible exception of Holiday World. I definantly think IJST will be a fun ride, and that the gp, will really enjoy the ride (which will undoubtedly have huge lines). The difference in height and speed between TTD and Kingda Ka will be insignificant, IMO, becuase of how high their speeds and heights are already. Quote
Ben Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I want to ride TTD sooo bad! You are going to have a hell of a time. I'm making my first CP trip on May 13th. Quote
tubaman Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Just when I thought I had conqerd the world... They have to go and build a ride taller than TTD. TTD rocks! PKI needs to build the worlds tallest and fastest roller coaster. That would be awsome! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I don`t think that would be awesome. It wouldn`t fit in with PKI. And besides why spend close to $30 million on a ride like that when they could buy a HUSS giant ride, and an expansion for Nick Central? Which would provide a greater Return on investment, be more popular with a larger demographic and provide greater capacity to the park? Quote
