Kong is only the second Vekoma SLC I have ridden (along with Mind Eraser at Six Flags America), so after reading all the negativity about this type of coaster, I boarded the train prepared for the worst. After riding, I can honestly say that I am surprised by all the bad reviews. Beginning with the first drop, the pacing of the ride was relentless, and the combination of inversions was unique (to an SLC newbie, I guess) and almost nonstop. The double twist that ended the ride was very entertaining. It is also a very photogenic coaster. Im not saying this is as good as a B&M invert, but the shoulder restraints were heavily padded and I didnt even bang into them that much anyway, so it really wasnt painful to me at all. My opinion is that SLCs (at least this one) deserve more credit than they receive.
