Well as the topic title states, there is a new roller coaster at 6 Flags. Its called Kingda Ka. I got to see it yesterday and let me tell you, it is MONSTEROUS!

As said on www.sixflags.com

Quote:
 
The new roller coaster will shatter all existing world records for speed and height by legendary proportions. Truly the "King of Coasters," Kingda Ka will rocket riders horizontally from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds before vertically catapulting them a mind-blowing 456 feet (45 stories) into the sky at a 90-degree angle. After a brief moment in the clouds, riders descend 418 feet (41 stories) back down to earth in a 270-degree spiral, only to experience another breathtaking moment of weightlessness as they soar over a 129-foot-tall hill (nearly 13 stories) and then glide back into the station.


It wasnt open yesterday, because from what I heard, the test dummy lost both arms xd.

Any way, here are some pictures: (according to the website, these pictures are all renders. All were resized by me)

I was at Six Flags [now Geauga Lake] yesterday. It was a LONG bus ride. I went on every coaster but 1, because we didn't have time. There was this one where they seat you, and then tip you backwards. You go through the whole ride backwards and upside down. Then you look at one time, and you look like you're going to fall flat on your face to the ground. It's called the X-Flight and it's really awesome :D.

You guys know that there is like more then 10 different Six Flags parks? :lol:

I just rode a new rollercoaster that opened today called Sheikra. I got so scared because the first drop was like 5 seconds long. :stupid:
I heard of Kinga Ka, and I plan to go there soon. But I hope the Dummies on Kingda Ka don't represent real people. :ermm:
