DoinItForTheFame Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Night POV man this joint if flying! Oh my!!! That thing is going much faster than I expected it would. It looks amazing!!! Can't wait to ride it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That looks amazing. Looks like it'll gather some real nice airtime on some of those hills I'm really looking forward to most likely riding this ride this year! Should be my 4th or 5th RMC by then I'm also jealous that this RMC is already testing. Joker still isn't finished constructing and I was hoping to ride it before I move At least I'll be able to ride this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That "dark section" of the coaster was especially neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbeeler Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Will one even be able to ride it at night? Given that sunset is already after 8:00 PM, I don't think Kentucky Kingdom is ever open late enough for there to be night rides outside of the State Fair.

tidecat Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Outside of the State Fair, the best chances for a night ride in late August and the first Saturday in September. On May 28th sunset is at 8:58 PM, and it doesn't set before 8:30 PM until August 20. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Forgive my ignorance, but why doesn't the park stay open later than sunset outside of the State Fair days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It may have something to do with the types of crowds that roll in to free attractions when the sun goes down. Even our local carnivals turn into sh** holes when the sun goes down. Thug wars for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 This looks like it combines some of the best parts of Medusa Steel Coaster and Twisted Colossus and still adds up to something unique among RMCs. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited, until I saw they changed their hours the day I was coming so now it is a school day with no public admission. E-mailed so hopefully something will happen.

mudvayneimn Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That's a great promo for sure but does it seem to anyone else like they are "begging" for people to come with these promotions (maybe not that drastic but it get's the point across best). Also season passes were supposed to go up months ago and they are still the same. It just gives me an uneasy feeling. I will be all over the park this year though, doing my part to keep the dream alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought a passport or driving licence will do the trick. Just your accent will probably be enough though haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also season passes were supposed to go up months ago and they are still the same. It just gives me an uneasy feeling. I will be all over the park this year though, doing my part to keep the dream alive! It does seem a little early for a contingency offer. With a new marquee attraction you would bank on demand being sufficient to not have to discount. That being said, with it being fenced to out of state residents only I have to imagine the risk is pretty minimal. What % of their guests are coming from out of state? 10%-15%? Maybe? Second day free offers provide great perceived value as a guest but the cost to the park is basically zero. The park was going to operate anyways and any money spent (parking) is basically all contribution margin. The cost of soda is insanely low, and would imagine the hurdle rate would be pretty low to cover this freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron88stang Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The park's agreement with the state for some of their tax incentives requires them to pull a certain percentage from out of state. I think it's 25%. They did this same deal last year as a way to boost that number. It was marketed to Indiana and Tennessee at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
