    Does anyone remember how they closed Geauga Lake? As a coaster enthusiast who lost a lot of weight and finally could have ridden this ride, I hate myself for not go to Jersey this past weekend. I had a feeling and I knew I should have went and I didn't do it and now I hate it. It's Geauga lake all over again. People forget that this is almost the same company that closed geauga lake without warning And they do it again with Kinda Ka. Almost like history repeats itself. There's rumors and murmers or a closing and it happened.

    Maybe I got a bad train but we rode ka back in August for the 1st time and we didn't like it because it was rough. The launch was something indescribable,it was good but coming down the tophat and over the bunny hill it was magnum level rough and rattley..Top thrill dragster was the better of the 2 rides.

    I thought of it and maybe the reason why they didn’t do a TT2 is because it would be too similar to TT2. Imagine someone rode Kingda Ka 2.0 then they might say “why go to Cedar Point for TT2 I’ve ridden practically the same ride so why go.”

    I’ve heard the whole don’t let any park outside cedar point theroy and I always refused to give any energy to that statement but that is what this screams of. I wish this merger never happened because they own way too many parks. I’m hopeful that they won’t ruin Magic Mountain because the competition in that state is so intense.

    Understand why it has to go but the way they went about handling the optics and transparency of the closing has been terrible. But more than that they’re gutting out an entire section of the park. Six rides (one of them being functional to movement in the park) is quite a lot for a park that hemorrhages ride more than build them. Gadv used to be one of the GOAT parks 20 years ago

      Heard lots of sinilar sentiment from locals. Sucks to hear that, my visit was great but I missed alot of the other attractions and soul of the park eras there. I agree wholeheartedly on the transparency

    Since Ka had a lot of downtown, Six Flags was probably worried about having a “send off” event or a “final day to ride” without the ride being reliable. And that would encourage people to come to the park and get extremely upset if the ride wasn’t working. Would have brought on much more negative press. Now, they were able to announce its closing along with news of new rides to mitigate backlash and get people talking about what’s to come.

    I think the park will replace it with a giga extreme spinner.

    Closing one of the fastest coasters SUCKS! While TTD (the best coaster I have ever ridden) was better in my opinion, KA was second best followed by Storm Runner. Rides I wished I could have ridden: Do Dodonpa, Formula Rossa, Ring Racer and Hypersonic XLC. I would love to ride Maxx Force. I will ride TT2 countless times since Cedar Point is my home park. Hopefully, the KA replacement has at least one 100+MPH launch.

    Although it wasn't until 3yrs later when I rode it, The original Top Thrill Dragster was better than Kingda Blah Anyway. Yeah Top Thrill Dragster was 36ft shorter, and 8mph slower, but I did see Top Thrill Dragster Trains clocked out at 124mph before, Top Thrill Dragster's launch wasn't rattly like the launch on Blah, and Top Thrill Dragster Trains were DEFINITELY Much More Comfortable with just a T-Shaped Lap Bar and Seatbelts, which Definitely gave riders a more since of freedom. Talk about Overkill with Kingda Blah Trains. And the So-Called Airtime Hill on Blah? Yes, Blah!!🤣

      While Kingda Ka was rattly, New Jersey laws wouldn’t let it run with lap bars so 🤷
