    Kingda ka is an amazing and excellent roller coaster. It's deserved to hold the record of tallest roller coaster in the world for almost 20 years now. Although Dragster is no more, at least we still have this mighty green behemoth to enjoy. Long Live KING DA KA 💚 💙

      If the ride advertises at 128, we leave it at that. It’s capable of it. That’s all that matters. If you work for the park, you should know that technicalities and different statistics are bad for the image of the park.

    It wasn't the height that got me, it was the 3 separate zones that accelerate it actually taking my breath away. By the time it reaches max speed your body adjusts and it's like "Okay this is fine" THEN you're almost blacking out on the "uphill portion" and then you're just into the whole thing after the crest.
    Or you're a lucky duck and get a roll back and get to do it again.

    Hi, firstly, GREAT angle for a rear POV. Beautiful quality, thanks.
    I made a mistake and chose the back row for my one and only Kingda ride in 2010. I did enjoy the rush but I didn't really get much airtime.
    I waited 2.5 hours in Summer so... we only had one day there and too many other things to do, and I preferred an extra ride on El Toro (Definitely a back seat coaster if there ever was one lol).
    I haven't been back to SFGA since then but of course will go back for Jersey Devil at some point and to try get a front seat ride on Kinga. And of course to marathon EL properly. I'll literally buy a flash platinum just so I can max out my day since I'll be alone most likely.
    I just want to know, do you actually get proper ejector or even sustained floater in the very front seat on Kingda, unlike the back?

    • @teddym2808
      @teddym2808 Před rokem

      I just also want to add, I get zero airtime on Millennium Force in back seat, including the first drop, and zero airtime in the back seat of ride of steel SFA and DL, but I do get some in New England right through on any seat. I am just wondering if it's something with my weirdly long legs at 6 ft4, I am right on the edge of Intamin's max height for those trains, whether it reduces my air time on Intamins. Cause other people DO get back seat airtime on those rides. I get mega airtime on B&M's, for comparison sakes. And the few RMC's I rode.
