Wade, I'd think that too, but stuff didn't start flying out until the tophat during all those rides a year ago

Thinking about funny stories:

standing in Line today on Nitro, the girl in front of me decided to open her umbrella, i coudn't pass this up and told her it was bad luck to open an umbrella while in line for a coaster. she looked at me and asked why, whereupon i told her a slightly fictional account of the Lightning Loops accident. i told here that the victim, Karen, had opened her umbrella just before getting on LL for her last (and fatal) ride. I continued by saying Karens ghost haunts the area to this day and Park security occasionally spots her sitting on top of Nitro's lift hill. i finished by saying if she spots Karens ghost on top of the lift hill will sitting in the train, she'll suffer the same fate as karen.

The reactions of all her friends after i told the "story" would have made a very funny pic, if i had my camera with me, which i did not. i love messing with peoples minds.

OOOO that is just wrong to mess with people

funny but wrong . Now this story is going to find it's way around somewhere again you all know this right, just like the KK stories . Speaking of KK do youthink they will test soon? I am still wondering if the dummies are there that maybe testing is going on at night . Do they have enough dummies for KK and ET or are they differant and will ET dummies lose their heads ,arms and legs like KK's did last year

LOL .

I actually got into an argument with this know it all senior in my school a couple weeks ago about KK. He was absolutely certainthat he saw a dummy go flying out on the tophat last year. When I told him that I knew he was 100000000000% wrong, he began to realize that I knew he was lying, and he will never admit that he is wrong, so he just said "Why should I listen to you, you're not even going to be top 10 in the class next year?" and he walked away.

Funny story Metsman. Some people don't know how to react when they know people realize that they are lieing.

Any word on testing from those at the park recenetly?

Some people always have to be right, and I hate those types of people!

^ I havent a clue on the testing! I would imagine it would have started, then again it probably didnt!

WadeJ · « **Reply #106 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:06:54 AM »

As our news fader has indicated for some time now, expect Kingda Ka to be open soon! And thanks to our friends at gainsider, we even have pictures of it testing.

Keep your fingers crossed that inspections go well today and tomorrow!

SilverBullet · « **Reply #107 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:19:53 AM »

I knew I heard the horn on Sunday! On the way out I heard it, but no train was launched. Probably just the catch car was launched.

WadeJ · « **Reply #108 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:27:13 AM »

Catch car/launch system tests occurred on Saturday and Sunday so that was probably what you heard

My fingers and my toes are crossed, I have yet to ride KA or TTD , so I need the credit. It would be very nice if they had Ka running for Coaster Celebration

/\ I'd be in total complete shock if Ka wasn't open by June 17th. It will likely be open on Wednesday or Thursday this week so I'm more worried about it breaking again closer to CC

Cyclonic · « **Reply #111 on:** May 23, 2006, 01:01:58 PM »

SHHHHH.....Don't say that!

MRHSfalcon · « **Reply #112 on:** May 23, 2006, 07:16:04 PM »

i know i will be there on saturday or sunday

WadeJ · « **Reply #113 on:** May 23, 2006, 07:22:00 PM »

I might be there tomorrow. I'll see what I can find out while I'm there.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 23, 2006, 10:10:03 PM »

Secret Agent Wade.....Good luck, remember your mission is to find out whats wrong with KK and fix it!

WadeJ · « **Reply #115 on:** May 23, 2006, 10:30:14 PM »

LMAO now I'm going to be singing that stupid song in my head all day tomorrow

ChuckR · « **Reply #116 on:** May 24, 2006, 01:11:51 PM »

It was testing while I was at the park yesterday. Expect pictures to be up around 4pm.

WadeJ · « **Reply #117 on:** May 24, 2006, 04:57:28 PM »

Kingda Ka opens @ 10AM on Thursday, May 25th.

edit: I said I was going to close the thread but forgot, and since people seem to like talking about it opening, I'll leave it be for a little while lol

kj_bennett · « **Reply #118 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:04:21 PM »

MRHSfalcon · « **Reply #121 on:** May 24, 2006, 07:25:35 PM »

WadeJ · « **Reply #122 on:** May 24, 2006, 07:35:50 PM »

I posted the same picture in my TR but since it is relevent here as well, this was taken today-

Dubya91 · « **Reply #123 on:** May 24, 2006, 07:58:53 PM »

Very cool, it's glad to see they got KK testing! Wade, did you get this shot from the safari?

WadeJ · « **Reply #124 on:** May 24, 2006, 08:04:42 PM »

Yes, that was from the Safari

We decided to take a trip through since the weather was so nice... well, and to get that picture lol

I'm curious, is anybody going tomorrow that can let us know how Ka is riding? I'm curious if there is any difference in the launch.
