Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

Kentucky Kingdom is somewhat known as Six Flag's forgotten park since they have not added a major attraction in some time and doesn't have the greatest chances of getting something this year.  The park is separated into two parks and is divided by a highway. Overall, I still think it is a good park with Chang and some good woodies highlighting the trip.  

Yes we are in Kentucky.  If you can't read the words, it says "Footsie Wootsie: The Ultimate Foot Massage."

Once you cross the bridge to the second part of the park, you are greeted by the Giant Wheel to your left.

With that out of the way, here is Chang.  It was built in 1997, is 154 feet tall, and has five inversions in it's twisted 4,155 feet of track.

Like most B&M roller coasters,  it has a little drop and turnaround section before going into the first drop.  Also like most it goes into a vertical loop.

Close up of the loop.

After the vertical loop, Chang goes into a dive loop.  The beginning of the ride closely mimics Mantis at Cedar Point.  The only difference is that Chang goes in an opposite side and is a little taller.

After that you go into the section that you can see behind the corkscrew in the first Chang picture and then you go into the inclined loop.  B&M only has this inversion on stand up coasters.

You go into some curves, breaks, and then this corkscrew which is the 4th inversion.  It goes right over a gift shop which is kind of neat.  Then you go into another corkscrew which is in the first picture, which is the last inversion.

Hellevator is 15 stories high and packs quite a punch but lasts only a split second.

The other looping coaster at Kentucky Kingdom is the 1995 T2 which is short for Terror to the second power.  It is a Vekoma SLC and is 105 feet high and 2,172.  Another kind of neat and somewhat scary things is that there is nothing underneath the lifthill.

After the first curving drop you go into this Cobra Roll which is a double inline twist element unlike on B&M roller coasters.

To the right is a twist loop which is the third inversion.  To the left is a double inline twist which is the fourth and fifth.

Himalaya spins you around just like the Matterhorn and Flying bobs models at other parks.

Roller Skater was also built by Vekoma in 1994.  It is 28 feet tall and is 679 feet long.

Enterprise is like the Witch's Wheel ride at Cedar Point.  It spins horizontally and then spins you vertically. 

This Chaos is decked out in Halloween colors.

Thunder Run is a airtime filled wooden coaster built by Dinn and Summers in 1990.  It has a 78 foot drop and is 2,850 feet long.  It's first drop goes right into a left turn.

This layout is the same layout as the Hurler roller coasters at the paramount parks.

The train roars by while you are in the station.

After the first drop and curve there are a series of airtime filled bunny hills.

The Rainbow is another falling star.

Road Runner Express was built in 2000 by Mauer-Sohne.  It is 49 feet high and is 1,200 feet long.  It is your average wild mouse coaster with some good forces throughout the circuit.

The front of the Road Runner Express has a array of weights and other props that you would expect from the Road Runner cartoons. 

Twisted Twins is a dueling roller coaster built in 1998 by CCI which every time I ride only one side is being ran.  It has a 65 foot drop and is 2,641 feet long.  This is the famous Custom Coaster swooping turnaround.

Looking down the first hill of Stella which runs next to the highway.

Another shot of the turnaround.

Stella has a high speed layout and throws a few nice pops of airtime and ends with a nice high speed helix.
