AirtimeAddict17 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Yeah I heard it was open in June but that's what he told me. El Toro in the back if you like airtime and Nitro is amazing anywhere but I prefer the front.
bobbinbop20 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 ^ok thanks^ oh and another quick question, where in the park is the flash pass building located?! Is it in the front?
scooterdoug Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 ^Yes. After you go through the main gates, you'll get to a big courtyard with a fountain in the middle. Go straight around the fountain and you'll see it on your left. -Doug
CoasterNERD502 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 So, are there any updates on Ka's status? I'm hoping its up by this weekend when I head down there.
itsme102 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 ^ I wouldn't bet on it. Haven't heard any news on it being close to opening.
Audio111 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 There's pretty much no chance of it being open next weekend. Testing hasn't even started yet, hell the parts are still being repaired/replaced. It won't open until Mid-Late August I think.
cooliocody12 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I wish it would open for my trip this weekend. But seems like its not going to. In the time it's been down has it opened for a while at all?
Johnnymaff Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 It's a shame. Coasters like this are expected to have problems. Last time I went, it was down.
itsasamccormick Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I heard the park would be lucky to have it open by Fright Fest....
chef kitchen Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I may be going to gadv. this weekend. From what i've heard, kingda ka still has yet to open full time since May when it got struck by lighting. Looks like my ride count for the season for ka will still be at 0 if I do go. =[
rollercoastercraziness Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Well i called the park yesterday and asked about kingda Ka and wow did i get an annoyed voice speakng back at me. i dont think i was the only one that called... but the guy was nice enough to tell me in a kinda written out message that kingda ka will not be open for august positively, and they would be lucky to have it open by september. so postpone those trips, and hopefully this isn't going to take to long...
coolcalicoaster Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 ^Who cares? El Toro and Nitro are all you need anyway.
bobbinbop20 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 ^ yeah, I visited for my first time last saturday and I realized that I didn't even care that KK was even there, I was just there for toro and nitro...
WadeJ Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 It doesn't mean it will be opening soon but Kingda Ka should begin testing next week . Assuming the testing goes well we could see it open very soon.....or not.
Medusa1861 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I was there today, and while on Rolling Thunder noticed they were actually working in the engine room, so it might be reopening soon like the guy above me says.
Zack44 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I'm planning to go in three weeks, I really hope the park gets at least a little progress by that time. Anyways, any new developments?
YoshiFan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 ^Who cares? El Toro and Nitro are all you need anyway. Because Kingda Ka being closed makes all the other lines longer.
Capitalize Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'll be there this Saturday, too bad KK is still down, but oh well I've been on it a couple times so I can live without it. As long as I get a ride or two on El Toro it'll be worth the drive up there...
Lenaapple1974 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 KK was down again! I was supposed to ride for the first time yesterday if it was up... and it just sat there, with the lights flashing away... The closest I got to KK yesterday...
R3Mii Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Any idea of when it will be up ? I'm a french rollercoaster fan and I go to the USA tomorrow. I'll be there Thu 20 and Sat 22, and maybe Mon 31. Lenaapple, did you see anyone working on the coaster or tests ?
Lenaapple1974 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 There was absolutely nothing going on that I could see. I was not on the side of the entrance though because we knew it was closed. I fear this will not be open for the rest of the season!
HCOSurfer90 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I was at the park today, and I can tell you guys for sure that Ka was definitely testing during the day.
coasterfreak101 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I'm hoping hoping hoping for Friday. I highly doubt it, but it'd be super great. Seriously.
