Kingda Wah

Tuesday June 14, 2005
Are you itching to ride the world's tallest, fastest coaster? Sorry, you're going to have to keep scratching a while longer. New Jersey's Six Flags Great Adventure says that the ride will be closed for several weeks as the park repairs a malfunction that put it out of commission on June 8. I've got the lowdown on what caused the problem as well as some behind-the-screams info about Kingda Ka's hydraulic launch system. Since you can't ride Kingda Ka, how about taking a virtual ride? Check out this onboard ride video and see what all of the hype is about.
