rcjp Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 must have some good airtime in the back... Definitely, looking at the shape of the drop and length of the trains, I imagine the back will just be thrown down all the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I totally forgot to mention in my last update, I saw a huge amount of Dippin' Dots rolling stands lined up near the security entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 ^Great.... That means that there should be a wealth of information on future projects coming to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 All I can say is that the more photos of Kentucky Kingdom I see, the more excitable I become. I have to say something about Deep Water Dive: it looks crazy that you have a midget-looking blue slide with hills next to a very tall red slide, but I guess the small blue slide is there for people who either don't want to slide down from such a height or don't want to walk up all those stairs. Those trains for Lighting Run looks sharp! The $64 question will be "But how will it run?" And the biggest question to ask is "When the park opens Memorial Day weekend, what will the operations be like? How would the new rides and slides feel? How will Thunder Run and Lighting Run feel?" And more importantly: "How many rides can I ride the Roller Skater before I get sick of it?" ROLLER SKATER - TAKE A RIDE AROUND OUR RINK!!!

Diamondbacker27 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I hope KK let's taller passengers, AKA adults on Roller Skater. I know Six Flags did, but some parks don't allow adult passengers on kiddie coasters, unless you have a child with you. I know I enjoy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Amazon better be prepared for ACErs trying to stampede upon their picnic if the times are concurrent. Don't worry, Amazon has its drones at the ready to fly over and drop Twinkies to distract the ACErs as their people escape the stampede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just looked like wave runner was complete because of the perspective. I drive by every time I go to school and as of Tuesday the top portion still wasn't complete. Deep water dive is complete, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketball1234 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Raging Rapids ride at Kentucky Kingdom will not open until June 30th because they want to add more theming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 ^The most themed ride in the park is being delayed for more theming?! A little weird (unless they're just refurbishing things), but as long as the ride's ready by July through August when the area gets especially humid. Here's a pic KK threw on their Facebook Page from 3/4ths of the way up DWD's tower. Note the new river underneath the slide.

Diamondbacker27 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Any ideal what they want to theme it to? I would just keep the penguin theme, but change the name. It would save them money in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwarn01 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 At least they're trying and aren't going the Cedar Fair route of just renaming the ride. It seems like Ed Hart isn't trying to cut any corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
