Drummermattk goes to Kentucky Kingdom!

[drummermattk]

Hi guys! I recently had an off day and decided to trek on down to the good ol' Kentucky park for the first time. All i can say is, for a small park, the have some AMAZING rides, and a lot of firsts for some coaster enthusiasts.

 

Good things about my visit:

- Park looks really clean and tidy and really upkept

- The two newest coasters where running GREAT, and T3 and Thunder Run where running good to, but T3 was a little painful.

 

Bad things :

-Poor quality of service overall throughout the park, especially to keep lines moving as quick as possible

-Every coaster (except Thunder Run) was one train operation......

-STORM CHASER DID NOT OPEN TILL 3/4 INTO TE DAY

 

 

 

My thoughts on the coasters

 

-Storm Chaser:

HOLY POOP this ride is insane! (insane is an UNDERSTATEMENT), Love the ejector airtime and everything. Although I have only rode one RMC, im falling in love with them Even though the ride didn't open till 3/4 into the day, and was one train operation, I'm pretty sure i waited for the front seat for 2 cycles. LOVED IT.

 

-Lightning Run:

Basically the same thing i said about Storm Chaser can be said here, although i waited 30 minutes for a ride on this.................. BUT loved the ejector airtime and outer banked turns.

 

-Thunder Run:

GREAT woodie for this park, I felt it was running really smooth and fast paced.

 

-T3:

Great layout but not a fun ride as i felt alot of rattle and jerkiness, but then again, this was my first SLC ever.

 

-Roller Skater:

Amazing coaster to start little kids off on.

 

My time was limited, and i was going to go around and take more pictures and shoot some more offride footage of Storm chaser and Thudner run, but while in the waterpark, some @$$ hole decided " hey this green bag looks nice" and walked off with it, and we spent a good two hours looking for it. Thankfully and would like to praise the park's security staff, our bag was found with nothing missing out of it, and I retrieved my phone and camera. ALSO, i did tackle the Tallest body slide in north america and it was NERVE RACKING. Anyways enough blabbing heres some offride footage and pictures! (Camera has okay quality for videos)
