Rabbit_in_Red Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 So, are you guys excited for the mysterious future RMC coaster? What do you think about it? Well, at first I thought it'd be something using the Raptor track, perhaps it's "standard configuration"...but then, I thought back on his previous expressed desires of having another B&M coaster (he tried buying Time Machine) for the park so now I'm thinking it may be something utilizing the T-Rex track. Either way, and all steel RMC is what I'm expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOG1991 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Too be honest, it's a tough pick, but I would choose Storm Chaser. Even though Lightning Run had great airtime, Storm Chaser had the most INTENSE airtime. That first hill had me like . . . "Sweet Mercy! Let me hold on!" LOL. Both are great coasters and I would advise anyone to get those coaster credits. It's well worth it! that first hill itself makes me want to get there to ride. only been there once when Chang was brand new. lol I can't think of a worse b&m than Chang! And now we're saddled with it here in NJ. Chang was a lot of fun. I don't know what happened during the move but Green Lantern is just unbearable. Too bad, because I love the layout. It needs to go floorless or just standard sit down even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 ^Yeah, did I miss something? It was an interview from Storm Chaser media day with Ed Hart from a site not supported on TPR. Ed stated he is in discussions with RMC for another coaster in the future, but left out any details (understandably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick_Man_Nick Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Coaster Studios Facebook stated that Ed Hart held a Q&A at Kentucky Kingdom today and Ed Hart is planning a "fabulous" coaster, he also discussed how he is not a fan of Dark Rides and Launched Coasters.

SFOG1991 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Can anyone give me insight on what the lines are like on weekends and July 4th weekend in particular? As far as I know this park doesn't have any kind of fast pass and I'm just curious what the lines would be like. I've heard people say it can get very busy.

Vonni Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I heard that he said it was going to be "fabulous" "Fabulous" makes me think family coaster. Which isn't a bad thing. I wouldn't be surprised if this coaster is planned for the old dragster pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if this coaster is planned for the old dragster pad. Sorry but how do you make that conclusion? Ed Hart is an interesting character. I've watched several interviews of him because I'm a nerd and I could totally see him using a word like "fabulous" to describe almost any decent roller coaster. Don't ask why because I have basically no way to prove that but he's just got strong New Yoker/New Jersey vibes going, like the type of person that says "wonderful" in every third sentence. Basically I wouldn't rule out any coaster type at this point. It's late so don't question my likely flawed logic, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOG1991 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Question... Is going to Kentucky Kingdom on July 4th weekend a bad idea? I'm trying to go somewhere for the holiday and I don't want to go to KK if it'll be 2 hour lines for the major attractions. Insight please.

That is why the Sky Catcher is in a odd spot, that is in the area where they can build over 100 ft. Basically a small strip running from the Drop Ride, Giant Wheel and Sky Catcher is the only area they can build over 100 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You would probably be better off visiting on Sunday instead of Monday - Memorial Day was extremely busy, so I'd expect July 4 to be busy as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit_in_Red Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 He's mentioned talking with RMC about a new coaster and has, in the past, expressed interest in a new B&M coaster...I suspect it may be something with the T-Rex track. I didn't necessarily take his "fabulous" comment to mean a new family coaster, but it's indicative (IMO) of him already knowing the layout and general design of the new coaster. It also hints that it'll be happening sooner rather than later. In year's past, when he first ran the park, it only ever had the one family coaster. I'm not sure that'll change this go around.

Vonni Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ^ I wonder if the GP would find a T-Rex to be too "similar" to Lighting Run though? We know its not, but we are not the target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ^ That would be a challenge for Ride Centerline. They've already designed two coasters in the park and would be tasked with creating another coaster with a different and unique experience from LR and SC.

gerstlaueringvar Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ^Agreed. Lightning Run and Storm Chaser are already very similar, and judging from the T-Rex layouts, I would bet if KK went for a standard layout it would be way too repetitive. I really wish they can get a nice family coaster this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit_in_Red Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think you guys are confusing the T-Rex with the Raptor. Yes I agree, the Raptor would be too similar to Lightning Run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 For you regulars I have 2 questions: 1) I am going to the park for the first time since last year on Friday July 22nd. What will the wait times be like for the 4 coasters and will they likely be running 2 trains on everything (besides Thunder Run of course) 2) Has Storm Chaser been reliable so far? That's a lot of the reason we are coming to KK so it would sure be a bummer if it was down the whole day. I guess all the Lightning Rod has me a little freaked out about the reliability of RMCs. Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Storm Chaser should be fine. All the other RMCs are running great except LR now afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
