sfkk339 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I decided to make one last trip of the year to my home park of Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, It would be my 29th trip of the year and my 199th all time....so with that lets bring on the photos! One of the first things you will notice when you enter the park is the HUGE American Flag Six Flags was having Freight Fest! Sky Coaster loooms over everything on this side of the park.... Our first ride was Breakdance..... Then we went to the Road Runner a very fun little mouse Going up! Luckily we didnt wait in all this... Why not stop for a scoop at Ben and Jerrys? Next up was Greezed Lightnin! Blasting off at 65mph! Great Ride like always..... View of some scenery of Tin Lizzies. Poor rainbow.... Park Map Duh.... The Giant Wheel The Giant wheels supports View of Greezed Lightnin on the Bridge Splash Water Kingdom was closed....sigh One Great and one Not so Great Next up was Chang Loop shot....check Mid Course... More... Poor Bear.... T2 was a no ride for me today....yay! T2 going through the signiture Sidewinder.... Overview I did also notice that T2's 2nd train was out of the holding dock.....I hope new trains! Deluge wasn't open.... Hi! Ive been sitting here for 3 years and havent seen one human soul in that time.... Thunder Run was next.... walk-on! First drop.... Boy did it beat the crap out us today...but yet had great airtime.... Woods of the Wicked was back this year! Grand Merry-go-round.... Roller Skater... A vekoma Mini coaster Crocidille Jacks Cafe Fish Pond... Giant Wheel is really Giant.... Thunder Run Road Runner Enterprise was fun.... Nightmare INC. The new Haunt for this year! ok we where sitting down enjoying a nice pizza dinner with freinds and some familey.....When my brother decided to play some football in the resturant yes you heard that right, So my freind decided to play along...when he passed the "ball" my brother ran for it as he was running he tripped and wham! right on the side of a table and cut a huge gash on hes head so we went here.... ER I think we waited in here for ohhh 4 hours.... and there he is in all hes dumbness.... Ride Count: Greezed Lightnin-8 Road Runner-2 Black Beards Bounty-4 Tin Lizzies-1 Enterprise-2 Breakdance-1 Elviras House of Super Stition-1 Nightmare INC-1 Woods of the Wicked-1 Flying Dutchman-9 Thunder Run-3 Chang-2 Bumper Cars-1 Carosaul-3 Roller Skater-2 Giant Wheel-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesdillaman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Nice use of theming on Rainbow. Although it saddens me, I like when parks make the best of a bad situation. Nice photos. Â -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepills Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Nice PTR =] Â And well maybe your brother learnt something. I lol'd when I read that. I hope thats not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Purplepills - not wrong at all. I'm glad he hurt only himself versus a bystander. Â The last thing this industry (or SF) needs is another frivolous lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You rode Flying Dutchman 9 times... uhh...are you serious? Â Anyway, nice photos and TR! Â When I was at the park a couple weeks ago, I too noticed that T2's 2nd train was nowhere to be found...what could this mean? (TEAR IT DOWN! TEAR IT DOWN!)

sfkk339 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sorry to here about your bro. Nice Photo TR though. This park looks like it has a nice atmosphere. Hopefully I can get there some day. Well it should have gotten there like 10 years ago....It bothers me to see the park in such a state now....

sixflagsguy5 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 If my brother did that I would have left him and stayed for the last ride of the season on Chang or Thunder Run. Â Sounds like a fun day. Hopefully they can get something new. I'm sure you quickly ran out of things to do there, especially on such a dead day.

Der Der Dongt Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Does anyone know if the Twisted Twins will be back for 2009? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalize Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'd like to get out to SFKK some day. Looks like a decent park and it can't be any worse then my local SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk339 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Does anyone know if the Twisted Twins will be back for 2009? From what Six Flags have said...yes, but there are roumers that the area could be guted to make way for something new.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ^^Yeah this park is a lot better. Stand Up, Two or one giant woodies, a bigger family coaster and a less rougher SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ^ I wouldn't say that Mind Eraser is rougher than T2. T2 is a prototype, and has been called "the roughest SLC". So many people hate T2. I've never riden it, but I believe people and what they say. Â -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk339 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well Ive ridden T2 many times and I could agree that T2 is the roughest SLC out there, But really it could be fixed up...It's the trains on the SLC that screws the ride up...I did notice T2's 2nd train gone I'm hopeing for new trains and a Paint Job....Also Thunder Run needs work bad! New trains and major retracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I wouldnt be surprised if SF sells off or closes this park in a couple of years. There is nothing special here at all Except CHANG and GREEZED L. It has a horrible layout, with a street thru the middle of the park, and the water park right inside in the center. Really bad design. Better off keeping it as a water park and just expand it that way, and move all the other rides to other SF parks. The accident with the Drop tower didnt help this park either.

sfkk339 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yes all your points are on the on the Spot! well except the water park deal...The thing about the park being land locked is BS they have plenty of room behind T2 and Chang...I really want to see maybe a S&S Launch Tower and Huss frisbee.....But I really think KK's water park is almost excellent!
