moore Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I wouldn't mind a floorless at PKI but I would prefer something that provides a different riding experience. I've never been on a floorless, but they just look like sitdown loopers. I think PKI could deversify itself better with a flyer or invert.

pkiBeastfan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I wouldn't mind any B&M. KI needs another great steel coaster, so any B&M they get would be a great addition. Nothing will beat The Beast for me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I take it you haven't ridden Hydra.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 ^I've heard that it is pretty boring. If KI were to get something like Dominator or Kraken, then I would definitely want a floorless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PkiJake13 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thsi past April I rode Alpenghiest and Apollos Chariot. Both were intense and amazing. So much air on Apollo. I have also ridden Raptor, Mantis, and Chang. I would perfer an airtime machine, hyper coaster. We haven't gotten a good steel coaster since Vortex opened so any big steel would be fine with me. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 My favorite B&M by far has to be Nemesis at Alton Towers. It is just such an intense ride - and the theming can't be beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah, the theming on Nemesis is second to none, although I think the new Black Mamba looks pretty astounding as well. If Cedar Fair and KI were smart enough to combine Nemesis and Black Mamba's theming with the intensity and thrills of Dueling Dragons and make another Dueling Inverted series, all hell would break loose. Quick question, though: Anyone else see some kind of construction going on between Italian Job and Happy Days Diner? They had yellow tape sectioning off a medium-sized area, and there was a bulldozer and metal scaffolding all over the place. Can someone explain what the [system Edit] is going on?

tycoonrebel7188 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm not tryin to ruffle any feathers here, but imo floorless coasters are just not all they are cracked up to be. It just didn't do it for me. To be honest I wasnt lookin at my feet the entire time I was watchin what was comin up next. I voted for the dive machine because I rode Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa and it was imo the best steel coaster I have every ridden. Just my honest opinion. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 What floorless coaster did you ride? They are NOT all the same. Thinking they are is like thinking Beast gives a comparable ride to Thunder Run which is about the same as the Coney Island Cyclone which is about the same as the Georgia Cyclone which is not unlike Cornball Express. Which isn't true at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have ridden both Medusa @ Great Adventure and Kraken @ Sea World. Yea I liked them when I rode them but then I rode Sheikra just this June and loved it. My favorite coaster changes all the time. You may like the floorless but I like the dive machine.

The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yep, that's what makes us all different! I was bored to tears on that same dive machine you adored...and couldn't wait to get off it and go ride my beloved Kumba! And that's just fine! I'm glad you liked it, and I am sure August Busch is too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Dive machines look great. I haven't been on any of the coasters at my old home park.... Too afraid of them back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
