This is awesome news. I can't wait to get back on it!

SilverBullet · « **Reply #126 on:** May 24, 2006, 09:15:02 PM »

Great to hear! I wanna push 30+ rides this season. Stuck at 5 at the moment and 22 overall rides.

I'll be there from opening until about 3 pm Wade. I will let you know when I get back from work tomorrow night/Friday morning at about 2 am if I'm still alive!

/\ just heard from Rob (frissbeking) and it is in fact running. He got one ride on it. I'll let him post more on it when he returns

I just got back, 1 ride, waited a little over an hour. They were running 2 trains, with intentions of opening the 3rd. After I got off, it looked as if they were getting ready to start up the 3rd train. The launch actually felt a tad more powerful than usual, but that might because I havent ridden it in a few weeks. Who knows

The park was kind of crowded, not too bad though. El Toro had workers all over the ride again, working on the lift and one of the hills in the twister section. PDC looks great so far though, I had some doubts that it wouldnt turn out that way.

As I was leaving the park, I wanted to snag a few Ka pictures since I have none of it actually running, but it never launched from 2-3. I'm guessing they tried puting the 3rd train on, and it made the ride shut down. That has happened to me while in line a few times this year already.

It's good to have it back though!

I got there around 6:15 PM and they were still only running two trains.
The park didn't seem too crowded at this time, but the wait was about 1.5 hours.
There was one 10-15 minute break when the mechanics walked the launch track, but other than that Ka was running fine.

It was also very nice to see an empty Rolling Thunder Train Zoom on by as I was standing on the Kinda Ka platform.

I hope KK is open tomorrow on 6-6-06 because my brother is going to try it out for the 1st time. Big family trip tomorrow for me. BTW: I just got back on the internet finally. My computer hard drive went on my old computer , and now I'm back with my new machine. I got 6 years out of the other computer.

I was wondering where ya went !

You had to put Kingda Ka and that date in the same comment LOL And then mention how many years on the old PC lol

Ka has been fine for the most part lately. Typical Ka attitude but open more often than not.

Yes 6 years wow I do mine about every year or so.
I actually waited in line without it stopping last mid-week.
Granted the line was only 35 minute wait and I didn't wait for the front this time,
When I wait for the front it always has problems and breaks down. 2nd row is 2nd best

Its very glad to see that It seems to be running smooth!

ChuckR · « **Reply #135 on:** July 05, 2006, 12:11:02 AM »

Just wanted to give a heads up. Ka got struck by lightning a few times on Sunday night and it might be down for a bit.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #136 on:** July 05, 2006, 04:32:51 AM »

Poor Ka, It never gets lucky

samara · « **Reply #137 on:** July 05, 2006, 03:11:27 PM »

when do you think kingda ka will be up and running again? $:-\$

Nozzy · « **Reply #138 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:57:25 PM »

While I don't have an answer to that, I can say that I saw at least 3 test launches today by Schoolbus and Gak.

ChuckR · « **Reply #139 on:** July 05, 2006, 11:10:29 PM »

Thats great news!

samara · « **Reply #140 on:** July 06, 2006, 09:56:00 PM »

kingda ka always seems to have problems though..

ChuckR · « **Reply #141 on:** July 07, 2006, 01:12:29 PM »

I heard it was running on and off yesterday.

Ogolo · « **Reply #142 on:** July 07, 2006, 01:29:14 PM »

Kingda Ka was barely running yesterday.
It would work a few times and then stop.
They were telling people a 3-4 hour wait upon line entry and the line wasn't long at all.
With Kingda Ka's issues and El Toro being down the park was a mess. Not a happy crowd.

WadeJ · « **Reply #143 on:** July 07, 2006, 08:28:10 PM »

/\ Couldn't agree more. This is the time of the year where they REALLY need to have things online.

Unfortunately, this time, and I really mean THIS time lol, it wasn't the parks fault. They can't control mother nature.

GADVwow · « **Reply #144 on:** July 07, 2006, 08:40:45 PM »

True enough. Though the OLD Six Flags always blamed the weather for every bad thing that ever happened. Thus, you can understand the skeptics.

KingdaKaRuler05 · « **Reply #145 on:** July 08, 2006, 02:45:19 PM »

Yesterday, Ka ran the best I've ever seen it run. Our wait was 1 and a half hours, but they were only running ONE side of the station. Also, that was with absolutely NO breakdowns! I was very impressed with how well it was running...

WadeJ · « **Reply #147 on:** July 18, 2006, 11:07:31 AM »

This is all very good news... Thanks for keeping us updated

ChuckR · « **Reply #148 on:** July 18, 2006, 12:05:52 PM »

I went over to Kingda Ka around 8pm and the line was closed. I saw it run throughout the night and saw a rollback.
