DirkFunk 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Super pumped to have a new TGG family coaster open within weekend trip distance from me. Still can't believe people were dumb enough to think they were getting Firehawk. I assume all of those people had A) never seen Firehawk and B) never been to KK to judge where it would go. It would take up half the water park. Link to post Share on other sites
RAWKIN_coaster38 1 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This should be great for them! They already have some solid adult coasters, this should be a great "in-between" coaster. And for the record, I never actually thought Firehawk was going to KK, but it was pretty funny to see everyone's reactions Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlittle 1 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looks like a great addition. Does anyone know where in the park this is going? Link to post Share on other sites
SixFlagsAstroworld 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Great addition! Also I wonder if they posted that layout on the steam workshop Link to post Share on other sites
DoinItForTheFame 2 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 WOW!! That's not at all what I was expecting. But looks like a great addition to the park! Link to post Share on other sites
bluestreak 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Absolutely thrilled to see this! Really good addition to the park's small but solid lineup. If it's anything like wooden warrior it will be a great ride! Link to post Share on other sites
WolfBobs 4 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Love this addition for KK. Really what they needed with how extreme some of their coasters are. Solid ride for families and an awesome low height requirement. Link to post Share on other sites
larrygator 1 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Looks like a great addition. Does anyone know where in the park this is going? Â Based on the animation, right in front of the mountains. Edited October 1, 2018 by larrygator Link to post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 25 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 These mini Gravity Group woodies are awesome. It's impressive how much airtime they can deliver despite their small stature. This gives them one heck of an airtime trio with Storm Chaser, Lightning Run, and this. Link to post Share on other sites
prozach626 20 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looks like a good choice for families. Are these pretty fun for all ages? Â Looks like a great addition.

njcoasterguy34 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 In case anyone didn't watch the video, the rolling stock will actually be Timberliners, not Millennium Flyers. Link to post Share on other sites
Superbatboy 4 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They completely confused everyone, looks to be a nice addition for KK Link to post Share on other sites
larrygator 1 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 In case anyone didn't watch the video, the rolling stock will actually be Timberliners, not Millennium Flyers. Â Thanks, I'm not sure why I wrote Millennium Flyers in the announcement post. I have corrected it. Link to post Share on other sites

Â My only experience with a gravity group family wooden coaster was Wooden Warrior and it's totally a great ride for everyone. Short ride but provides great pops of air.

ytterbiumanalyst 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Awesome! This is what Invadr should have been. A fun family coaster with a 40" minimum, not too tall, not too fast, but with just enough to make it fun. Link to post Share on other sites
boldikus 51 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If this is anything like Oscars Wacky Taxi its going to be awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
michaellynn4 2 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looks like a good choice for families. Are these pretty fun for all ages? Looks like a great addition. Does anyone know where in the park this is going?  Based on the animation, right in front of the mountains.  I haven't been on Oscar's Wacky Taxi, but Wooden Warrior is deceivingly fun with some nice pops of air (and from what I hear Oscar is the same way). If this ride is anything like those two, you'll love it. Link to post Share on other sites
Myself 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A Redditor claims that the coaster will be located along the rear of the waterpark: Link to post Share on other sites
jedimaster1227 21 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Great to see this park continuing to invest in experiences for the family! I've heard good things about Gravity Group's junior wooden coasters so I'm sure this will be a good addition to the park! Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalJasonland 18 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A wooden coaster next to a lazy river. Will lifeguards be able to hear screams? Link to post Share on other sites
vertigomkie 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Phenomenal addition and a really smart move by the park. They needed this!  If they could build out that stretch of the park connecting back to T3 with some shade and just a few family additions -- one or two flats, they could really make this a well-rounded park with this family woodie there (it'll be tough given the limited space, but parks have done more with less space e.g. FunSpot, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Lake Compounce, and Gröna Lund).  My main gripe with Kentucky Kingdom was that their limitations of adding "wherever space is available" makes it feel like families are crammed in the front, thrill rides are crammed in the back, no transition to the water park conspicuously in between (at least Holiday World has defined boundaries), and then there's that road jammed through the middle of the park.  Kentucky Kingdom really needs to build out as a family destination with some local charm (not a Six Flags thrill park where parents dump their kids for the day). They have really been smart about their additions and park planning these past few years and Kentucky Flyer goes to show that they are trying to keep that direction moving forward.

vertigomkie 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A Redditor claims that the coaster will be located along the rear of the waterpark: Â Yes! The back side of the park really needed some love. I really hope they connect the path back around to T3 as it would really help the dry-side of the park flow. Link to post Share on other sites
grsupercity 7 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I was hoping it was going to be back by the shoot the chute and the roller skater. That is a dead zone in the park Link to post Share on other sites
Dombot 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looks great! This ride really came out of left field, did not expect a new wooden of all things. If it's any good as the other smaller Gravity Groups, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
Wonderbread17 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Question though, If that is the location of Kentucky Flyer, When or if they ever build a hyper or something between 150 and 200 feet, would they have room to put it anywhere? To my knowledge, that is the only area in the park where something that tall can even possibly be built. My theory though is that they wanted to build something smaller and affordable for this year so that in the next 3-5 years, they can finally invest in a bigger coaster like a hyper or even a RMC T-Rex.. What do y'all think? Link to post Share on other sites
