undercoverunicorn13 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 How do we know that Twister is confirmed or is it just a rumor? What is a Twister ride?
undercoverunicorn13 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I've never been on a Scrambler. are they exciting? Yes, but I would rather see something else come to the park.
cfc Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Scramblers are classic flat rides--perfect for almost all ages. I'm not sure I'd call them "exciting," but they are fun.
rcdude Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 ^This! Most people aren't going to go out of their way for a scrambler, and nobody is going to regard it as the greatest ride ever, but they are a perfect bridge ride that will entertain the whole family without scaring anybody off. I've always enjoyed them, and they're one of my favorite classic flats. It would be a great fit for Kentucky Kingdom, and is somewhat of a less intense version of the Breakdance. If Kentucky Kingdom is indeed getting a scrambler, and if they're getting something for the waterpark as rumored a little while back, that would make up all of the KingdomSeven attractions. T3, Cyclos, Raging Rapids, Sky Catcher, Enterprise, a scrambler, and a Kraken Racer (or similar)...sounds like it would be an excellent line-up of new for 2015 attractions for the park.

KyKingdomMike Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Kentucky Kingdom left two replies to people who asked about the Greezed Lightnin' trains on Kentucky Kingdom's Facebook *Kentucky Kingdom Stay tuned for updates. Always new and exciting things happening : ) *Kentucky Kingdom Stay tuned! We will keep you posted on all the latest and greatest additions. We are the official source of information so we will be posting the most accurate information! If one of the new attractions does turn out to be something for the Greezed Lightnin' trains, that would be so awesome combined with T3 and the new rides.

Wow that would be unexpected if they did something with those trains. IDK what, but I love that style of lap restraints. I've always thought it would be cool if parks had an onsite "park history museum" type of thing. It could be a themed restaurant or something that had old ride trains, pictures of old attraction, park maps/memorabilia, etc. Since parks change so much, it would be cool for people to see/ remember how parts of the park used to be. Even a relatively new park like KK could fill up a place like that easily.
lbeeler Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day???
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day???
lbeeler Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day??? my exact facial expression while typing that last post lol
DJeXeL Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day??? Yes, If said "coaster" is a Larson Super Loop.
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day??? Yes, If said "coaster" is a Larson Super Loop. Good thing Six Flags still doesn't run the place. They'd take till' mid October to start.
Koasterking48 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Trying to catch up on this thread... I think a Scrambler would be a perfectly fine inexpensive family attraction. Not thrilled with the name "Twister" but it's okay. The other mystery attraction is intriguing. On a side note, did Lightning Run's horrendous operations ever improve later in the season? I visited only a week after the grand opening, so it was to be expected. Still, consistently stacking trains for long periods of time makes for a long wait.
Midgetman82 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 It got a lot better after the first few weeks, though it was still very far from being called a "high-capacity ride."
lbeeler Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 you really think they can build a coaster between now and opening day??? Yes, If said "coaster" is a Larson Super Loop. World's largest Larson super loop.
DBru Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm confused...why have we settled on the idea that the 6th ride will be a scrambler?
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm confused...why have we settled on the idea that the 6th ride will be a scrambler? Don't ask me, the park hasn't announced it yet. So no one on this thread has 100% accuracy of knowing.
KyKingdomMike Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Kentucky Kingdom - Screamscape Park News - (3/11/15) According to Kentucky Kingdom, the old Dragster cars once at the park were sold off to another park, and the Greezed Lightning trains are no longer on site either, so it seems the photo sent in was a bit old. Shame... Well, that takes care of that rumor.

Shame... Well, that takes care of that rumor. I'm okay with that. The dragsters were cool, but also expensive, loud, and took up a lot of valuable space that could allow for several flats, or maybe a smaller shuttle type coaster. As for the trains, I hope they go to good use! Those rides are classic, but an old Schwarzkopf really isnt what KK needs.

Well, that takes care of that rumor. whew that the best news I've heard all day!!! i need to slide closer by the park and see what's going on because i don't see any action when i drive to work from a distance.
lbeeler Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the double post but as promised i went by the park and it looks like KK has someone telling ScreamScape false info. well i can show you better than i can tell you..... Rolling up on Lightning Run on this Beautiful Day Looks like electrical work is being done for Cyclos oh what wait a min whats this??? yep yep someone lied dragsters and Greezed Lightning trains are still in the park. yep yep someone lied dragsters and Greezed Lightning trains are still in the park. But on a good note this crane was pulling into the area for Sky Catcher!!!! Edited March 11, 2015 by lbeeler
jtd0826 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 So did Kentucky Kingdom lie about selling them or was it false information. I hope it wasn't a lie because if so, they probably have a plan for them in the future and wanted to keep it a secret. If it is a secret, they are not hiding it well
