King Chaos

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

I went on it yesterday for the first time. The only good thing about it is when you spin 4 times in a row. Other then that the whole ride is boring and too short. I give the ride a 4/10.

That's a good idea, but they probably want to start with the simplest program to make sure it is running correctly. After that, they may start with a more complicated program that is popular elsewhere.

I think it was too fast for some people. Opening day I saw people throw up twice while waiting in line. I know they toned it down for the next weekend.

^ I didn't think it was bad at all on opening day. People tend to get sick on Huss Frisbees although I don't see why. Someone got sick on Tomahawk at SFNE when I was there. To me, the swinging and spinning kind of cancel each other out. It must not work that way with other people.

I think some people can't take spinning rides. My cousin is that way. He's not going to a carnival anytime soon. I saw someone throw-up next to me on Revolution. The act was not funny, but I think it was funny because I was just telling someone else that this ride is weak. Go figure.

I know that some can't take spinning rides, and some can't take swinging rides but if you look at my last post you will see:

So are they only running program? or are they changing it on a scheduled basis to see what works well, and what people tend to like?

My question is, Is it appealing to the General Public?

I hear alot of you guys bashing it, but the GP tends not to be so critical.

I rode it the other day again, and we actually flipped! It was a miracle. Yeah, it seems like it's getting better, so hopefully this will eventually be a worthy Top Spin.

I got on it around 430 for the first time. The ride before us flipped 5 times because there were a lot of adults on the gondala, on our ride it was nearly all kids so we only the the two controlled flips and nothign else. I lost all my change and it gave me a headache.

I still haven't been able to ride. Every time I have gone but once the sign said "THIS RIDE WILL NOT OPEN TODAY". The only time I went and that sign wasn't there; the sign said "Sorry For The Inconvenience, This Ride Is Temporarily Closed"

I still haven't been there a day that it has been open. I went yesterday and it had the "THIS RIDE WILL NOT OPEN TODAY" sign. I got there yesterday at 7pm so maybe I missed it. I hope it will be open next week.

King Chaos was open early in the day, so was Ice Mountain Splash but they closed it and sent the crew to Loggers.

Anyone else think the restraints are pretty heavy & tight? I know they are needed. But sitting there before the ride starts, it is really tight on me, nearly painful.

They could be better, and they are better on newer models, but they were going for efficiency when the designed the seating (more seats)

Thats why you catch the restraints before they come down and hammer you.

The restraints do hurt a bit, but they don't bother me that much. I thought they'd hurt more than that, even during the ride... but it's not really that bad, I was pretty much able to ignore it. I've seen so many people trying to pull them down when they're not supposed to, it's amazing how people don't listen these days.

Take a really deep breath before they come down on you, then you will have plenty of room to breathe.

KC is more of a luxury with the restraints. Power Dive and the Inverter (at carnival) were more annoying than KC will ever be.
