kingda ka
« on: June 07, 2006, 04:17:03 PM »
i was at SFGA the other day and while i was on line for kingda ka and i was next when the roller coaster didn't travel all the way up and came back down. I know this is a normal accurence but when the train came back to the station, about 4 people were crying hestercically and got off. i was just wondering if this has happened to any of you? and if it has does it hurt?

It DOESN'T HURT!!  Its one of the coolest experiences on a coaster ever though!

They were probably just freaked out by it all.  Its actually really smooth and fun when it happens :)

Yes, definately keep praying for it LOL  The best part is, you get to ride two times in a row!!! ;)

I was lucky enough to get a rollback on Volcano...but never have had on one on Kingda Ka orTop Thrill.  Not for the lack of wanting one, though!

I am envious of those who have gotten one!  :)

Agreed on the Rollback! I got one in the FRONT ROW! It was just amazing! We were climbing up the hill, came to the top, saw the horizon, and slowed down.....then went backwards!

I HIGHLY recommend it!

^lol. Oh, alright, I'll get one next time.


I want to go on a really windy, cold day so the rollback chances are higher.
