deidre1976 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Not to sound stupid, but what is a TROIKA? The ride operaters talk about it and I am not sure what it is! Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 A troika is a guest who needs to be dealt iwth by security, when we call over the raidoes and say "we need a troika taken care of" security comes, usually armed with tazers and billy clubs to haul away a troublesome guest. What? Oh.....uhm wait...... A troika is the name of a flat ride built by Huss. Huss troika's are in many parks all over the United States, Kings Island's Huss troika is called Shake Rattle and Roll. So when someone refers to Troika they are referring to Shake Rattle and Roll. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Troika is Huss's manufacturer name for the model of attraction that Shake, Rattle, & Roll at PKI is. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 "I do have some good news, I just saved a bunch of money on my Huss Insurance by switching to Gieco!!!" I love Troika, such a fun little ride. Quote
TheKlockster Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Baunummer 26731 baby! I love that ride! Not just cause its mine - but I could ride it for hours and hours... Best coaster at PKI - Vortex. Best flat - Shake, Rattle and Roll. Quote
Jasper Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Troika or Shake, Rattle, and roll whatecer you may call it is one of the best flats the park has ever had. Except for the flyers! Quote
UCcatguy52 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Troika or Shake, Rattle, and roll whatecer you may call it is one of the best flats the park has ever had. Except for the flyers! My pick between the flyers and shake rattle and roll had to go to the flyers... that ride was amazing, snapping the cables all day and scaring little kids... ahh so many memories on that. Quote
Legend Rider Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 did this really have to be "Question?....to ride operators" I mean, I could answer it easy. Quote
Enchanted Voyager Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I love Shake Rattle and Roll. A classic ride, that I go on at least once a visit. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned what Cedar Point calls their version of this classic ride! Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I no what its called http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=190 Quote
UncleHenry Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Troika Troika Troika, I made you for my park... Quote
Legend Rider Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Troika Troika Troika, I made you for my park... How Jewish... lol Quote
TheKlockster Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The Troika ride at PKI was built in 1975, and was originally called TROIKA. Then it got changed to Shake, Rattle and Roll. Whatever it is called - it is definately the best flat ride in the park - since the Flyers were removed... Like I said above - I could ride it all day! Right now its run by The Vortex crew. So I am lucky to work both of my favorite rides. But it used to be run by The Beast Crew. So at one time they ran The Beast and both of the best flat rides in the park! Quote
