First of all... I've wandered and wandered what ever happened to this ride...
I was a freshman in HS at Fleming Neon, in KY when I first heard or even saw this ride. People that rode it talked about it for weeks and weeks. Myself, I can never forget the time riding Kick Booty.
The ride is as people in this forum has described... It was a white in color ride with blue steal-like bucket seats with a cable attached to the ride's cycling circle. You started out attached to your partner either behind or in front of you. As fun as the ride was, everyone loved hearing that guy say the info-famous- specifically as he did it... KICK!!.... BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY... it echoed thru-out the fair grounds... at some points when he'd yell it out it would echo down then he'd yell it again into the mic and it would be loud again, over and over. When you heard those words all you could think about was someone just got slang 50-60 feet from their partner. It made you want to turn around and go ride again.
My brother is a really big guy... I remember he rode it this one time and slang his partner so hard that he twisted around the cable of one of the riders in front of them... many people lost shoes, sun-glasses, wallets, hats... I can say I never lost nothing on the ride... at the time I'm sure I didn't care, either.
Kick Booty is and probably will forever be the best ride I have ever ridden.
KICK!!........... BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY-BOOTY......
