Andrew643 Posted April 5, 2005 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.
Space Freak Posted April 5, 2005 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... Â Rob
coasters 4 me Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 i would call them female. Cause of cars etc. Im sure the testing looked brilliant.
Coasters 4 ever Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I found a Kingda Ka virtual video. Just copy and paste into your browser. Â themeparks.about.com/od/photoandvideogallery/v/kingdakarender.htm
Coasterlicious Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I found a Kingda Ka virtual video. Just copy and paste into your browser. themeparks.about.com/od/photoandvideogallery/v/kingdakarender.htm  Is that the same video from the Six Flags website?

GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 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.
CoasterCrazy Posted April 6, 2005 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.
GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 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.
coasterdude5 Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Does anybody know when the official opening day is?
stew560 Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 By the way, the opening date should be April 23rd if all stays on track.
coasters 4 me Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 i dont know if it will make the dead line, if that is the date. because it looks like they have alot of theming to do.
GAcoaster Posted April 6, 2005 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 Posted April 6, 2005 I would bid on the seats but I dont know If i can make it....
SharkTums Posted April 6, 2005 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
Token Yankee Guy Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 I heard the charity is: "Help feed starving ACers"
CoasterCrazy Posted April 6, 2005 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
shepp Posted April 6, 2005 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. Â But on the other hand, a couple of minutes later, it's ready to go again...
Neogreeneyez Posted April 6, 2005 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... Might just be a coinkidink, or......

phazan Posted April 7, 2005 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.
socalMAN123 Posted April 9, 2005 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.
