Andrew643 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I was at GADV on Sunday and they closed the park 2 hours early, I wondered what was going on so I stayed and then saw KK launch and clear the tower. It was so amazing. Hopefully video will be avalible soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Freak Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Thats pretty cool. I cant wait to ride this bad boy. Wait, are roller coasters guys or girls? You know how people refer to cars or airplanes as female, but are roller coasters male or female. To me, they are neither. They are home to me...

coasters 4 me Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 i would call them female. Cause of cars etc. Im sure the testing looked brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I think KK is male. Just look at the large phallic tower. And the ride lasts less than a minute...those are male traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I hope someone makes a video of it testing. I find it funny that I'm looking forward to riding Shakira more than a clone of the worlds tallest and fastest coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 By the way, the opening date should be April 23rd if all stays on track. The commercial shoot has been scheduled just before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The park is auctioning first ride seats on Ebay, advertising it for April 21st (a day the park is closed to the GP), so the 23rd pretty much looks like the definite opening day now.

Coasterlicious Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I would bid on the seats but I dont know If i can make it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 All of the Bids are starting at $456.00, there is only one person that has bid so far. Â Elissa "at least the money is going to a good charity and not like the ACE Museum!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) I don't understand why people are going to pay over $500 to ride KK. They aren't going to the FIRST riders because the people that built the ride will get to ride it before them. Hell even the people that work at SFGAV will get to ride it before the people that win the auction. Edited April 6, 2005 by CoasterCrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neogreeneyez Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 It's kind of strange that sixflagsnj (the ebay seller of the kingda ka first ride) on ebay's last auction before the kingda ka auctions was Halo for X-box...

phazan Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 i think its silly to bid like 500 bucks just to ride it first. i dont see why its actually THAT important. people amaze me sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Kingda Ka is an exact ( or very close to) clone of TTD, so why spend all of that money to be the first riders of it, when the cost doesn't even include airfare or rental car.
