Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread

So basically, your ears might not bleed from the coaster anymore, but now your eyes will instead?

 

I hope they come up with a better color scheme to refresh it with. Even the current color looks borderline ok to me.

Green track with black supports or vice versa would look nice.

Haha couldn't agree more! Red supports, red track. Just don't go together.

[GwaziBSRider1]

If they do repaint it, I really don't think they should use the same color for the track and the supports unless it's white. For some reason, an all white coaster entices me more.

[Vonni]

Red track with Black supports would look nice, if the SLC must stay lol.

[Double0Kevin]

I'm a fan of all black. I'd say keep the colors as is but with a fresh coat to make it all shiney and new looking again.

[DBru]

I just think they should rename it Batman.

[Vonni]

^ and ^^ When T2 was painted all black it was supposed to receive a Batman transformation (when SF owned KK) but it never came to fruition.

I doubt Ed Hart has enough money to pay Six Flags/Warner Bros. for 1 ride name.

[A.J.]

In fairness, Kentucky Kingdom's new park map does have an "opening in 2016" over an apparent graphic of T2.

[Ape]

I hate and love the original paint for t2 at the same time.

Did they change it? I thought it was supposed to open in 2015.

Then again I'm probably wrong about that, my mind likes to play tricks on me haha.

It is 2015. The park map even says it.

NO! This country doesn't need any more Batman themed anything. The Six Flags chain has well taken care of that.

Yup. This was the joke...

[Woodie Warrior]

I mean, I could care less what color they paint T2 (well, as long as they don't paint it all bright pink/red).

 

And I really don't care if the ride is that rough, because they already have two good coasters coming in 2014, and hopefully a RMC version of Twisted Twins in 2016.

[MattyboiTN]

The last time I rode T2 I thought I was going to die. It was so rough and seemed like it would shake apart.

 

As for colors I vote Black & Dark Purple. Theme it something spooky, never really cared for the T2 name.

[Midgetman82]

^The name is always the misunderstood part of it. It's literally short for Terror to the Second Power.

How about BatBat?

 

 

They could probably get the rights to the character cheap.

[gerstlaueringvar]

They could make the park so cheap by using that character though...

Any ride themed to Bat Bat is a win in my opinion

Even the Boomerang at Canada's Wonderland?

[gerstlaueringvar]

Even Bat-Hades360-Bat?

I am thrilled to announce that Irvine Ondrey Engineering will be doing the controls for Lightning Run. This is really exciting for us and we are looking forward to sharing construction updates on both our facebook page and here. This one was a hard secret to keep because we think this ride will be a huge hit! It's truly awesome to be part of the rebirth of Kentucky Kingdom and we wish the park all the success in the world. Any questions you have on the control system for the new ride feel free to ask!

Have you encountered any unique challenges so far during the Lightning Run design process?

I never knew that CW's boomerang was themed to Bat Bat...
