Now if kingda ka doesnt make it up the hill they shoot you up at around 160 mph instead of the regular 128mph.
Even though i love this ride and ive rode it plenty of times i think it will close for good in the next year or 2. It breaks down a couple times a day and it has been getting alot of complaints..
You got any proof for this?
At an extra 30-40mph, it will fly over the top.
Is it really neccesary to make it faster, as it's still the fastest in the world.
Im not sure if this is true.. my friend that goes to great adventure about every 2 weeks said thay shoot u up around 150-160. Im going there wensday so ill check it out.
They wouldn't need that much speed to give it that extra boost to make it go over.. Would they? I'm sure just a little bit extra would
Well, at the moment, it's 120-130, i think.
It wouldn't need all that extra speed then would it?
If it was togo anyfaster then it would probably need to be higher too, or you could get a little too much airtime at the top!
And I don't think that would be all that fun..
It always falls back down so i think this helps alot
When a rollback occurs the train can simply be re-launched, they're not that much of a problem.
LOL at that guy, k first of all. The tracks already been built and the launching techniques used cannot be changed as they're powered so that the magnets do all the workj using a magnetic shift, so it can't be altered by a button. ROFL And also at 150mph, you'll be flying over the top at speeds of 40mph, meaning the Negative G's would be so intense you'd get an instant red out. And die. So next time don't post untrue news k
I was just there yesterday and waited 4 hours to get on again.. On the line there is a dj and he says all info on it and he said these exact words.. "You guys dont have to worry. If kingda ka doesnt make it up the hill we will be shooting off a a thrilling 168 mph."
are you sure it isnt kmh, cos thats different to mph.
Nope its 168 mph.. but it rarely happens now that they fixed it.
ROFL You seriously are demented they can't change speeds of rollercoasters by the touch of a button. Fgs, it's a ryhme it's meant to scare you thats why the DJ says it. And i doubt there is even a DJ there.Quote:

But still jack it can't just go 168mph LOL Especially seeing 128mph fastest a rollercoasters ever been and it can sudddenly go another 40mph? LOL Don't be ridiculous
Wow.. Have u ever been there? Have u ever seen how tall it is in person? Did u ever see it roll back? Alll the carts barely make it up the hill at 128 mph. If just a few people put their hands up it doesnt make it up. Why would i lie about a rollercoaster? If u guys wana believe that it doesnt.. Ok.. at least some people can trust somebody on something that doesnt seem real but is.
Also, I think that the speed can be changed at the push of a button. There's a video of Xcellerator going 180, or something like that.
This is just a recent change..
Jack, don't you think if that wqas possible, by now we'd already have rollercoasters going 180mph alsoQuote:

Not really, 180 is a tad too dangerous, and would need to be about 550ft.
The +Gs will be fairly high.
Coaster designers like to work their way up- slowly! :p
And the video, was taking when it first tested. They have to get the speed just right.
The DJ probably just said that to scare you :P
I don't really believe it went 168mph. I haven't heard any news of this on other sites.
Ok.. i was just updating u guys on a ride.. Its true. u guys r kinda gay if u dont believe...
No, we're kind of realistic.Quote:

wow yesum.. i was just trying to inform u guys on something and u come in saying.. omg this guys an idiot hes not right its impossible.. Have u been on kingda ka 6 times? do u live 10 mins away from it? did u hear the workers there and the dj say it goes 168 mph? go get some friends instead of yellin at people for true stuff they dont believe..
They lied.
u guys cant believe n e thing.. idiots
160 is too fast :S
well dont blame me.. i didnt make the changes im just telling u guys about it
Have you got proof?
Stop yelling at me then?! I have friends, Before you lived half an hour ago, now you're saying 10 minutes. Theres another Lie. I know rollercoasters enough to know there wouldn't be a huge gap from 128mph, to 168 mph. The Dj was trying to scare you and so were the workers, it's there job. Like the Oblivion workers, you won't come back. AMGZ is that true? No. You were trying to inform us on nothing, you just wanted a topic to post about. Get me proof then i'll believe youQuote:
