Loud Booms, It's Kingda Ka Coming Down at Six Flags in New Jersey

Well, it's happening. Guess all those rumors are true. Listen, I'm not a fan of roller coasters, well some but not this one. It's a favorite of a lot of Six Flags Great Adventure goers.

This is still so surprising to me that's it's coming down. From Six Flags webpage: "Kingda Ka is quite simply the tallest coaster in the world and fastest roller coaster in North America."

Just watching this coaster, my hands sweat. The fast take off is just amazing. It's literally 90 degrees straight up. And one of the biggest drops in the world, is attached to Kingda Ka.

Did you love Kingda Ka roller coaster? Do you have a great memory from Kingda Ka?

I have friends that absolutely loved it and die-hard coaster lovers that actually don't like it. They tell me it was boring. Really? Boring, it doesn't look boring to me, but I've never been on it. Now, I have to tell you I love Nitro, Batman, and I absolutely love-formerly Bizarro and formerly Medusa and now back to Medusa, again.
