Yeah unfortunately it probably won’t even come close. I firmly believe reimagining the ride but with Intamin this time would’ve been the best option but nope we can’t have that
I'm heartbroken I'll never be able to get on Kingda Ka but I think GADV has a really bright future. For the Skyway they could easily replace it with a new higher capacity gondola from Doppelmayr or Leitner-Poma. Kingda Ka on the other hand would have to be replaced with something just as worthy if not more. I personally think they should get a Stratacoaster with an LSM launched lift hill similar to Maverick or Falcons Flight and give it a much longer layout than Ka.
The way they made the announcement for Kingda Ka is absolutely disgusting. I don’t understand why they made the trains so beautiful and this is happening. This won’t happen but if something like Maxx Force but more interesting replaces Kingda Ka that would be perfect
@1420Days Six Flags said that Ka is being "Retired", not "removed". There are no demo permits for Ka or Drop of Doom, and nothing has been mentioned about Drop of Doom closing either. I think there's still a solid chance that Ka's structure is going to be turned into a new ride / reimagined. I made a trip to SFGA this June and fortunately got to ride Kingda Ka one single time, but sadly I don't think anyone will ever get the chance to make the OG Ka a credit ever again :( But at least it might become a new record breaking credit to claim!
@@xSneakieXx I watch like 7 coaster channels on RUclips, give or take. I’m sure you know who they are 😐 They all pretty much say the tower is coming down. I think the speculation is that the powers that be, do not yet know how to take it down. Once they get a demolition expert to show how it can be done safely, then the permit will happen. I personally think Ka will be the last to go, so that there will be plenty of room to pull down the tower, similar to how a lumberjack fells a tree. (Imploding the tower isn’t gonna happen). Even then, they may not get the permit for that kind of demo, due to safety concerns. Plus, I’m very certain, it’ll have to be self insured, no insurance company will want to touch it. The company may have to go the safer and expensive route and take it down piece by piece. Anyway, I’m rambling, don’t really know why😄 Bottom line… I really am with you in this, I do sincerely hope that you’re right and the tower stays.🤞
Honestly think that ka still has a chance to be reimagined. Though the park has stated that it would demolished, they also said that it was just “closing for the season” so I don’t entirely believe them. Also, unlike the other rides, we haven’t seen demo permits for Ka (not to my knowledge at least)
“A record breaking launch Coaster” could mean it will get the TT2 treatment !! Think about it, it fits their short description…..just having Intamin doing it not Zamperla.
Cedar Fair is a joke man. I hate this merger.
Whatever is replacing Ka better be as tall or its not a worthy replacement

This will be a huge disservice to the park

I GO TO GREAT ADVENTURE ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND, SOMETIMES TWICE, JUST TO RIDE KINGDA KA. I HAVE NO REASON TO GO BACK. FLASH HAS ONE TRAIN.😅

I will never forgive them for removing Twister, Zumanjaro Drop of Doom and Kingda Ka
Really disappointed they didnt announce this a while ago. We would hacw made the trip to ride it! We were planning on Spring of 2025... bummer
Yep, 2025 was my plan as well. Lots of folks are disappointed they’ll never be able to ride Kingda Ka again. I’m disappointed I never will.

Will there ever be a new ride that’s just like Kingda Ka someday?

I AM NOT BUYING A GA SEASON PASS IN 2025 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS

There is no TT2 treatment happening. It’s getting torn down for a new coaster
La vibora, green lantern and Ka have all closed, that’s three coasters removed from six flags in 2024, they are all defunct on RCDB even King da ka.
