Drill baby drill!
So instead of working on my capstone project yesterday my friend and I took a trip down to Six Flags Great Adventure down in New Jersey.
Overall pretty good park with plenty of good coasters, but I'm really here to talk about one in particular.
The Kingda Ka...
Holy crap what a great coaster, short as hell but a kick in the pants.
The main attraction of the ride is that it accelerates you to 128mph in 3.5 seconds.
After waiting for 2 hours and two break downs (which maintence seemed to know exactly what it was both times) my friend and I finally got to hop in the front seats.
After rolling you out on to the track the "shuttle" if you will comes sliding back under the car and wait a few more seconds and launch.
best way to describe it is... HOLY CRAP!
You can feel the wind pushing your cheeks back.
Here is a video I found on youtube.
The ride picture was hilarious looking, but I refused to pay the ridiculous prices that theme parks charge, especially for food.
