King Chaos is a flat ride that looks very fun. Here is a picture. I am not sure what type of ride they call it, but here is a picture.

Its a Huss Top Spin. Media Day for Mardi Gras area is May 20th, so it will probably be open then. They still have a lot of work to do on it.

King Chaos has a 98% chance of opening on Saturday. It will most likely be open. The only thing that needs to be done is Ragin Cajun.

More like there is a 20% chance of it opening Saturday. They have not even tested the ride yet. And there is still no water. I know in order for it to be certified by the state the ride must run at least 100 times. (Without any problems)

Have you guys ever ridden a Huss Top Spin? Just to tell you ahead of time, they are pretty mediocre unless the program is decent. Don't get your hopes up.

I went on Tomb Radier the ride, and I am pretty sure it is a Huss top spin, and it was awesome. But Delerium is still my fav. thrill ride.

Again, Miami Dade Fair spoiled me when it comes to flats.... damn you Mike Parker. Let's not fail to mention Paramount Canada's Wonderland. Rides like KMG's Tango, Afterburner, Mondial's Space Roller, etc really make Huss Top Spins feel dated.

For example, check out these Tango pictures: http://www.wy-design.de/amrdata/ra_thri ... tango.html

I rode one in Miami and it's better than most roller coasters... literally.

They have the "Illinois Certified to Operate 2004" sticker right on a support near the back of the station.

On May 1st, The Q line was not built yet. not all the restraints were installed yet. no water was in the tank. In other words the ride was not finished being built yet. So in 12 days well actually 9 days (you cannot count the days the park is open) They finsihed building the ride, built the Que line, tested the ride with those water filled dummies, and ran it 100 times and will eb ready for opening tomorrow?

From what I was told, a decision was made to open all of the Mardi Gras rides at the same time.

So basically, King Chaos will not be operating this weekend.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

TR:TR is a Huss Giant Top Spin. I'm pretty sure it's a lot bigger than King Chaos, and I wouldn't compare KC to TR since it won't have the massive effects that PKI put into theirs.
