Token Yankee Guy Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Six Flags announced in a conference call that Kingda Ka will be opening on May 12th.
Canobie Fan Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Kingda Ka will be opening on May 12th 2007 Ok I fixed your post.
ahecht Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 On the 7th, the people in the preview center said that they were shooting for mid May, but no date had been set. There wasn't any testing going on, but they were working on the track at the bottom of the top hat all day with angle grinders.
josephwanek Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Ok I know this topic is about Kingda Ka but I have a SFGAdv question. This might be stupid but is Viper operating? SBNO? Defunct? I thought I heard something about it going to be scraped this year but I'mnot sure.
robbeal Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 ^As far as I know it's operating this season, and closing at the end of the season. Looks like we've got a case of lovely Intamin Accelerator reliability again here. For the amount of time that the actual structure has been built, you'd think that they'd at least be on schedule for opening, but noooo.
DerekRx Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Viper is not operating this season. As far as I remember the sign and front portion of the queue has been removed. Viper the coaster is still there, but will be scrap soon, by the end of the year.
GAcoaster Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Viper is SBNO, and is rumored to be moving to SFDL next season. Kingda Ka should be opening May 20th now. Media Day has just been scheduled for May 19th, and everything (FINALLY) looks like it's on track to open.
SharkTums Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Dammit! I was hoping that Viper would be SFMM's new ride for next year!!! Elissa "although SFDL really needs it, and it's a shorter drive for the ride!" Alvey
coasters 4 me Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 from the video Elissa you have made, it looks to be pretty rough.

But I can't since it's late notice so I'll still go to SFNE.
GAcoaster Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I just got word that dismantling of Viper has begun and at least one train load of riders has been on KK today. I'll have pictures tonight. 8) Update-- New pics are up on my site Here's a couple of previews:
