KI Kidd

I don't know that there is a disconnect necessarily. As long as they can get away with it, they will sell the cheapest product at the biggest mark-up they can. If they are making a profit on it what incentive do they have to change it?

Those look pretty awesome! I can think of a few riders that would look really good at night with those (Dragster!).

I like keeping things consistent and 2018 follows the 'tradition' (for lack of a better term) of these types of polls. Plus a large portion of the ride experiences being judged are from 2018.

Realizing that I may very well be in the minority, I am one of those that enjoys ranking each individual coaster down to the worst of the worst. I find it interesting to see where people rank rides at my favorite parks, not just see what everyone's top ten consist of. We have a separate thread for that. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving everyone the opportunity to rank as many as possible.

I can't wait until this starts going the other way in 20 years and we get stand-up trains on all of the current hyper/gigas.

The wife and I made the drive over from Indy last night for 18 month old's first trip to KI. He had a blast riding with mom and dad! Only coaster I rode was Diamondback but it was pitch black and a was running really well. As for what's to come in 2020, I'm inclined to think that it will be a Giga. A speed focused ride would fit the line up perfectly.

Thank you guys for putting in the time and effort to do this! Very interesting to see how things stacked up. Am I completely missing Cornball Express in the results or was it not included for some reason?

Really excited to see the results! (It would appear the Tig'rr at Indiana Beach is missing, fyi.)

This is why I always work my way up on my first visit to KI each year. Start with Adventure Express or Backlot and work my way up to Diamondback. Later in the year it's right to DB though.

^I know right?!? I just meant that a lot of people seem to have really high praise for the drop but I have found it to be underwhelming.

I seem to be literally the only person that feels this way but I have found the first drop on Mystic Timbers to be very meh. I've ridden in almost every row and find it to be the only disappointing part of an otherwise very fun ride.

Had a great first day so far at Coasterstock. Lines were very manageable this morning and early afternoon. Banshee in particular seemed to be giving great rides today. Heading to dinner then back for this evening's ERT.

The wife and and I will be there! Looking forward to my first night ride on Timbers.

We have had non-riders go through the line with us before. Just explain the situation to the line attendant by the entrance/test seat and you should be good.

Ride Vortex in 5-1 for the smoothest experience.
