I am very happy that they worked so hard to get Ka open again.
Now the weather isn't going to cooperate to have it open.
God forbid it gets struck again, but those were some interesting storms!

The ones moving through Willow Grove right now are even better!

It was great to be on ka again. despite the very short line saturday, it had a lot of mechanical issues with the movable track for the 2 sides of the station to reach the launch area. The one train had issues sticking on the end of the brake run too, very slowly would it reach the station. Avg wait about an hour. I hope it stays up and the rest of the kinks are fixed.

They were having weather related issues yesterday that had a little bit to do with that. We should see most of that go away in the coming days. I'm just glad to see that they still ran it between all the storms and rain we had yesterday!

Thanks for the report to

I think it might be a slightly improved Kingda Ka too.
On my one ride before the storms appeared the launch seemed much smoother.

On a side note the Fireworks will be tonight (Sunday).
If it rains again they will be Monday night.

Not really but dont lean forward when you launch. When it says armsdown head back hold ond put you head on the head rest so there is no space between the back of your head and the seat. or else your head will be whacked into the seat. Also in my oppinion the orange train is the smoothest. Good Luck!

tyLER · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:02:51 PM »

Thanks im still nerious but ill do it.
