I heard the other day from some coaster enthusiasts that Kingda Ka was having issues again. I'm curious if this was true or not ?
Bruce......
-
It's true. It will probably be down until sometime in June. The nasty storms that moved through the area a few weeks ago caused some problems for the coaster.

Thanks. I plan to be there for Coaster Celebration. Hopefully they have it fixed by Coaster Celebration.
-
Ka is testing.
-
Take pics!
-
Whoa Whoa yaaayyy. So did it get struck by lightning or something? ;D :)
-
By the way, Kingda Ka opened today.
-
sweettt
-
Is it down again? Anyone know for how long? I'm coming from Suffield, CT and I want to make sure it's open before going.
-
^ Don't ever leave. It is down again and it's always day to day , month to month , second to second. I know the park works on it 24/7 but sometimes it's just the luck of the draw if you're at the park when it opens. Come down for El Toro , that alone will make it worth the trip! Good luck.
I hate being Negative about Kingda Ka, so please go to the park and enjoy everything else and forget Ka even exist.
-
Some of us have grown to call it King-of Karma.
-
out of 9 visits ive made to the park, kk had ben open once, and luckily i got in 15 rides that day. does anyone kno what happened to it this time?
-
Im thinking its the same incident as before, just took the easy fix rather then the complete fix.
-
I called (SFGA) to see how long they expect KK to be down and the person on the phone with me said it'll take another 2 weeks (so it miiiight reopen the 2nd week of July, but there is no set date of coarse). Who knows if he knew what he was talking about. I got a few rides on it June 12th (it wasn't running all morning, but later in the afternoon it was running on and off)...
Although it's a bummer to come to SFGA from far away and not be able to ride KK, there are some other great rides (like El Toro) that make the trip worth it.
-
El Toro doesn't even compare to Kingda Ka. I mean if you've never been to gadv or never been on Kingda Ka, then yea I would be bummed too if it was closed, but once you've been on it, you forget it is even there sometimes.
-
If you want an update on KK, you can go to screamscape.com...they have a link to a picture of "cranes pulling out the ride’s hydraulic engine from the “engine house”". :-(
-
Today i found out that Kinda Ka will not re open. A staff member said that it got it by lightnig to much, and caused far too much damage. So in that case they sold it to japan. :'( :'( :'(
oh, and for me the sadiest part is i just hit that 54' mark 2 days before i FOUND OUT IT WAS GOING!!! :headbash: :headbash: :headbash:
Oh and sorry overlord, i did uses the search engine and found answers but i think i found my information from a reliable sourse ( please don't lock it)
-
So the Dippin Dots guy told you this? Whoever told you this either has no idea what they are talking about or was just screwing with you.
That is 100% not true.
-
Oh, i saw that reply comming, i honstly don't belive too much ethier but i posted to see your comments anyway. At least if it's stay i can go on it sooner or later!
-
I saw that coming...
-
That is the sadiest news I've heard all day.
-
HAHAHAHAHA!
-
maybe GA is desperate for some money
-
Why is this funny?! Ha ha.
Real or not real Six Flags needs money!!!!!HAHAHAHAHA!
-
About the only truth I can squeeze out of this is it not reopening after those storms last night for even longer. If gadv got hit by anything like we did then I find it impossible that ka didn't get hit again.
Anyway, kingda ka should be back open soon. I wouldn't even be responding to this thread if there was even a chance of it leaving the park.
-
So it won't be open the rest of the season or be opening late in the season. ???
-
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
-

Wade said it should be open again soon, most likely meaning this season.
Cyclone man was most likely laughing at the part where I said sadiest.
-
I didn't close it Jetzfan, I just merged it. ;) Believe me, if we had breaking news about Kingda Ka being removed, we would have made a news post about it. But the big man Wade says its gonna be opening soon so I think we are all set.
-
Kingda Ka = CLOSED
-
what does indefenitly mean
-
For the unforeseen future. Basically, they are saying they don't know how long.
With that said, it should be testing next week :).

Now that you said it should be testing next week i am sure that one WISE you know what is going to really pester you if it is not testing ...You know it's true there is one in every group .LOL
-
I edited your post because you had your sentence in Wades quote :P
-
Hey Steve that happens alot WHY is that ? I know it happened again when I just quoted RJ on the SFGADV 50th ann. thread . Am I typing to close to the quote?
-
Not sure. The only thing I would suggest is when you do quote someone, just make sure the [/quote] is at the end of the person you are quoting and not the entire post.
Unless when you start typing you don't notice that you are typing inside the quote itself. Just let me know if it keeps happening or you need any more help :)
-
Thanks Steve :)
-
I will come next week some time to check up on kingda ka and find out what true or not. Have a great weekend
-
Kingda Ka was Kinda Klosed today...
-
it better get working again soon or im going to have to change my name!
-

This is my estimate of the Future of Kingda Ka:
1. Ka opens next season after major rehab. 2. Ka opens for two weeks and then is closed for maintnence. 3. Kingda Ka opens for another month. 4. Ka gets srtuck by lightening. 5. Ka remains closed for season. 6. Six Flags sells Kingda Ka for some extra cash, without publicity. 6. Kingda Ka moves to a sister park. 7. That park has problems and sells it. 8. In a year, the next park takes it down. 9. After 20 years, Ka is forgoten. The End. :headbash:
Just my preditction...

-
lol prob right
-
What do you mean by kinda closed..... or is that a joke?
Kingda Ka was Kinda Klosed today...
-
I think me meant to type Kingda Klosed.
If they were to take down Ka, it would definitely not be to re-locate it. Why waste the time and money if you're calling it a lemon?
-
Hence , " The Chiller " still sitting in a sea box waiting for a home !
-
Anybody going to the park today?
-
Are you saying people can stop asking about this soon?
I just want a shorter line at El Toro!
-
It wasn't because of storms, I asked a man working on the coaster and he said they were missing an important part, and they needed to get it. They were supposed to start testing the coaster yesterday according to a man in the station, but I never saw it testing.
-
i was there thurday and heard the horn going off so it could mean good things
-
So I wasn't crazy! I swore I heard the horn when I was in the office, but it wasn't running.
-
They have been testing the systems. Train testing should hopefully be coming soon.
-
soon.
-

Wait do you work or live around SFGA or were you in someones office in SFGA?
-
I work there. :)
-
Wating.....tic toc tic toc!
-
Ding Ding Ding...
-
Ka is testing.
-
schweet
-
Ka is testing.
YESSS!!! Can't wait till it opens again . Though I am thinking that it is going to have lines that are HOURS and HOURS long .
-
easiest way ive found to combat the lines for kk, is go for it as park opens, or wait till near closing
-
Finally, Its hear!
-
Kingda Ka is open.
-
iS KINGDA KA REally open today Augest 21 09? is it true its finally open???
-
Umm...yeah...we kind of posted it so why wouldn't it be true?
-
Well, I've never been on Kingda Ka before. What is it like? Is it worth it and how long do the wait times get? Could you please tell me?
