So, anyone excited about the Kingda Ka? I was at Great Adventure last tuesday, but it wasn't open yet. It's still gigantic. It's over twice the height of Nitro's biggest drop. I was actually kinda happy it wasn't open, just so my friends wouldn't have been able to convince me to go on it... Yeesh.
Oh, and they've got a huge banner with the scary guy overlooking the entrance to the park. Freaked me out the first time i saw him...[/QUOTE]
Kingda Ka looks awesome. I know it's been getting some remarks as it being nothing more than Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point except with the bunny hill but with Cedar Point being around 10 hours away from Great Adventure, I don't think it matters. I want to try to go on it this summer that is if the lines aren't too bad. I heard today it had a 4 - 5 hour line, no way I would wait that long for any coaster.
What's also interesting is that right after this coaster opened, they are already planning a new wooden coaster for 2006 since Viper is being taken apart.
