@rollercoastersrock Oh yeah I've been there in mid September.....it was okay I guess. Do you think the rides will probably be running as well, like not down for maintenance.
@JerseyShore117 Yeah they should be running fine. I'd expect Kingda Ka to be up and down all day just because that's the way it always is but otherwise rides shouldn't go down to often. It's not really cold enough in September for that to affect the rides and it's probably not going to be hot enough for that to affect them either.
@MinDV1RU5 Most of the album is played, this is just one of the songs you will here. Samb Adagio is sometimes heard in the station but is more often heard as the Golden Kingdom's area music.
Oh thats cool well at least its true. Hey can you maybe ask your manager to like post a picture of NY from up there someday? I mean ik theres an elevator but its just an idea
@JerseyShore117 Nah I cant sorry, Rides Dept. generally doesn't go to the top of the tower. Usually only the mechanics do. I have been up to the top of Superman but of course that's nothing like being on the top of Ka.
@JerseyShore117 No problem, I think one of my friends posted some pics from the top of the tower though. He's a supervisor so he's one of the few rides people that goes up there.
And same, I was at the park like last week for re-hiring stuff and saw it in person. It is hugeeee, pictures don't do it justice.
@JerseyShore117 Well what would be your question? I have multiple managers and supervisors, some would be better to ask than others depending on what it is you want to know.
@JerseyShore117 732-928-2000. Press 0 for the operator and you can ask them to transfer the call to guest services. I don't believe there are any tours of the ride unfortunately due to safety issues. No one can go into a ride's track area at any time while the ride is operating. In order to bring guests down to the track for a tour, even if they didn't go onto the catwalks along the track or anything, the ride would need to be shut down.
@rollercoastersrock Thats so cool! I love that ride & its only an hour away too. Btw is there any way to get tours of Kingda Ka? Like underneath it and stuff?
@JerseyShore117 Nah I don't believe the park offers any backstage tours. You can go on a VIP tour and get on all the rides without waiting but that's about $200 per person. It can get pretty pricey.
@rollercoastersrock Oh ok. They really should though. It would be very cool to put like an enclosed observation area underneath Kingda Ka. Btw, is it true that you can see NYC from the top of KK?
@JerseyShore117 Well the original line used to go directly underneath the launch track, that queue was closed after the cable incident which sent shards of metal out of the ride into the surrounding area. They also have an observation platform that you walk past while waiting in line but that has been closed off for some time now.
Yup you can, if you know where to look you can see Atlantic City as well.
@JerseyShore117 Nah my manager has though, I'm not sure exactly what direction to look in. You only get a couple seconds to try to find it so it's hard to see.
@JerseyShore117 It's pretty much the same, nothings really changed. The only difference is that the ride only takes one picture of you during the launch and there are sometimes advertisements all over the station.
@JerseyShore117 Yeah it only takes the picture on the launch now. They removed the second camera after the second hill. The stand for the camera is still there, just no camera.
@rollercoastersrock Oh and btw is it a good time to go to Six Flags around late April? I mean, is the weather nice, and do the rides have little downtime?
@JerseyShore117 Well the rides might be going down a little less than the summer, so they should stay open more often. However Six Flags will be open for spring break so I'm sure it'll be a little more crowded then. Overall, the park shouldn't be packed.
@JerseyShore117 Well opening day there will probably be more breakdowns than usual, seeing as the rides haven't been operated all day since October. Kingda Ka has more downtime in the summer though. It's not a big fan of the heat lol

JerseyShore117 6 months ago
@JerseyShore117 Yes I do. Today Kingda Ka was down for maintenance but I don't believe that'll be another long term.
rollercoastersrock 6 months ago
@rollercoastersrock Today it was? Oh so you mean it probably won't be down again for maintenance for a while

@rollercoastersrock Haha I know:) I'm just afraid that since it's opening day, the rides, especially Kingda Ka, will break down frequently
JerseyShore117 1 year ago
@JerseyShore117 Well opening day there will probably be more breakdowns than usual, seeing as the rides haven't been operated all day since October. Kingda Ka has more downtime in the summer though. It's not a big fan of the heat lol

@rollercoastersrock Yea haha. Do you think if we go on the 9, Kingda Ka could be closed all day?
JerseyShore117 1 year ago
@JerseyShore117 I'm not sure, downtime is always as unexpected for the ride crew as it is the guests. You'd just have to go and see for yourself.
rollercoastersrock 1 year ago
@rollercoastersrock Ohh. Okay well is opening day a good time to go?
JerseyShore117 1 year ago
@JerseyShore117 Yup, park shouldn't be too crowded at all!
