 Review of Kingda Ka @ Six Flags Great Adventure

Kingda Ka is by far the biggest disappointment of a roller coaster I have ever had. Upon looking at Kingda Ka, one cant help but compare it to TTD, but I will try not do, although I do believe TTD is far superior to KK in theme, ride experience, smoothness, and airtime. Maybe I just had a couple bad rides on KK, I dont know for sure, but it wasnt as great as it was hyped up to be. The launch didnt blow me away as much as I thought it would, but it was still very powerful in the front seat. The back was one of the roughest rides Ive had. The trim on the top kills the airtime for the most part on the way down, something that TTD delivers. The bunny hill offered some airtime, but this was very brief. Although Im saying all of this, I still think it is a great ride with a nice launch and the way up the hill is very thrilling. Although I would rate this lower in terms of how much I liked it, I know that my expectations were set much too high so Im being reasonable by giving it a 9. I definitely dont think it deserves a 10 since there is no theme and the ride in the back is horrible. Overall a great ride in the front section of the train though, and after all it is the tallest and the fastest ride on the planet!

Wow. Ive never seen a 9 for a coaster of such "disappointment".

Hmm...I didnt get to ride this one in the back. So its rough in the back, that is weird. I loved KK in the front seat. I though the launch was a bit better than TTDs, but there is little difference. Then again on TTD I was so busy getting pelted with bugs I could barely enjoy anything about it last time. I didnt know there was a trim on the hill either...I just figured there was no airtime becuase the hill is 30+ feet higher and the train loses more speed.

The 9 is because I only rode it twice and it was last year so I dont remember it to well, and I recently loved my ride on dragster (like the launch and going up and down the tower) that KK must have been good also, but Im just not remembering it right. Ill probably end up changing the rating to higher or lower once I get another ride on KK this summer.
