nitrofan Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Just for anyone who is interested, a new fansite has been made for this park, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdon Online. Come check out our site and forums! http://sfkkonline.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well since he went to SFMM they wont keep to his plan. SFMM saw how good he was and they offered him a job there and he of course took it. Already made big changes getting the Terminator ride. If he had stayed at SFKK we would have seen changes here too i bet. ^ Thanks Nitro. I am the site owner. Its really one of the best fansites you can find for a SF park in my opinion. Though I am lacking some pictures becuase i am using my own pictures for the ride pages and everything else so we arent fully finished. We are also lacking the chat room function, 2 skins for the road runner and roller skater and the last 4 years of the park history hasnt been added. But overall It's still a great site so come check us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Anyone hear anything else about TT lately? Or the park in general? Ill be there Saturday so ill try to a good look at MHF to see if anything else has happened to it. Probably do a photo TR of the park to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay you need to stop talking Its not like SFMM got Terminator because the park president wanted to, its a lot more complicated than that.....and he's working for the same company, its not like Magic Mountain stole him from Kentucky's feet the company moved him to get better leadership in the bigger park.

CHILLERLC1 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 read on the Screamscape Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom may get a waterpark addition and may be upgrading their waterpark portion of the park to the Hurricane Harbor name. Could they possibly expand this park around Thunder Run into the current closed section of the park, even as far as removing the shuddered Twisted Twins and the splashdown boats back there? Could it be less extensive? I would accept that with a Tony Hawk coaster to replace Twins and the water ride if it's possible. An Evel Knievel I'd love of course.

EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 ^ The source who told him that must have been high. The park jsut remodeled the waterpark from a hurricane theme 2 years ago to splashwater Kingdom. Makes no sense at all to change it back. ^^ I said that because i read somewhere that he had big plans for the park that would have taken place between 2009-2012 but that wont happen now. he was a great park president I'll say that. Does anyone know if Ed Hart is in the management at SFKK still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk339 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 If they do expand the waterpark in the old Twisted Twins area, I honestly think wr will see the last of SFKK's ride area.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofan Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The water park is big enough. I really hope Screamscape is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterfan99 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Went to the park today and I like the place. The simple fact that every single ride except the Road Runner Express was walk on is amazing. The park has so much potential, they just need to add adult rides. On the positive side, the carousel there might be my favorite carousel. I loved the old company logos. plus Greezed Lightin' was outstanding. On the negative side, T2 blows. It was worse then Iron Wolf or Son of Beast. Also, the ride-ops were beyond slow. It took them 5 plus minutes just to load BreakDance. Also, they were rejecting Flash Pass people due to low lines, but still selling them. Overall, i went to the park to just get the credits and liked the place. With some additions, I'd go back again.

EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Idk it must just be me but I love T2 now. Well except for the ball smashing kidney bean. I went to the park today. Since I mainly went for pictures for the fansite i only stayed on the waterpark side but i got 4 rides on T2, 2 on GL and then thunder run which I think caused me to get a heart condition after I got off because my stomach was sore for nearly a hour after riding. I went to ride Chang but after getting my customary picture taken with the ride sign we started hearing alot of beeps coming from the station then people got off then I looked up to the short brake run near the end and there was a train stopped there when they usually go through it. It started testing after about a hour or so so idk what happened but I missed out on it -.- Overall this is one of my best visits even though I mainly took pics. I'll post a photo TR soon hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk339 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ^You didn't get a "heart condition" from riding Thunder Run...like seriously wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Might as well. Everything was hittin my ribs it hurt bad. I dont think i can ever ride TR again unless its redone. Just having to take that much pain is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk339 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm telling you...Thunder Run needs new trains, bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes. and maybe a bit of re-profiling. preferably near the end of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterfan99 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm telling you...Thunder Run needs new trains, bad. You are right, but sadly, don't see it happening. No reason to spend money on a ride that already has very few people on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Probably stopped riding due to the roughness. So maybe new trains and making a big hype about it. Possibiliy when its the rides 25th anniversary since its so close. Be a great birthday present, new trains, and maybe a full re-track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfkk339 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I know this hasn't been brought up, and I know it's not true/possible and it's crazy but could the yellow B&M track be for SFKK somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic88 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I use to work at this park and for the most part it is awesome. I loved working with most of the people there and made some good friends. Thunder Run is one of my favorite rides even if it is kinda rough. I remember riding it when I was like 10 years old and busting my lip on the handles. I still ride it whenever I can. I also like T2 so maybe I just like punishment, although I'm not a big fan of RoadRunner because of the sharp turns at the top. I have no idea what they're going to do with Twisted Twins and Mile High Falls. The official reason we were given was that it was being "reevaluated for future expansion" or something like that. I've heard many conflicting stories about what they're going to do with it but nothing from anyone higher up that would know for sure. The most common is that TT is gone but MHF is staying. But again none of this is confirmed and is all heresay. It's all stuff someone has heard from someone else who heard it from someone else and so on. I do hope they reopen it though and soon.

EnglndPatriots6 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I still say MHF and TT are going bye bye, but MHF is more likely to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 In my eyes TT is already Dead. Might as well move on with our lives and go to Holiday World next year to check out their new water coaster.... -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Gold Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Has anyone seen the new rumor on Screamscape? Basically, 2011 will bring a waterpark doubling in size. Sounds to me like an integration of Blizzard River and Mile High Falls into the existing waterpark, plus the removal of Twisted Twins and most other things in its area for several new waterslides.

bspellx5 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ^With that rumor I'm starting to wonder if SFKK could be going the way Geauga Lake did, and eventually just being a waterpark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
