Question.... Even though Kingda Ka has a HUMP on the return path. Does Kingda Ka Gain the Title Tallest/Fastest on the planet?(since its 456ft/128 vs ttd @ 420/120) taking the title away from Top Thrill? because TTD still calls themselves the tallest/fastest. lol
just wondering
P.S. i just got back from my cedar point trip yesterday. went on top thrill 8 times. god it was awsome

what does the hump have to do with it? Kingda Ka is taller and faster than any other coaster on the planet period. and not because of the bunny hill.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
you're kidding right? and i thought topics like this ended with the off season
 
Well, you obviously guessed wrong. I got a question for who asked this question. Why wouldn't Kingda Ka be the tallest and fastest coaster if it is 456 ft tall and 128 mph? I dont know why you would think that, but it is the tallest and fastest coaster in the world, but for how long??

Cedar Point still has those signs up because Kingda Ka still hasn't opened.
if kinda ka is taller then top thrill, and faster then top thrill, then obsivly it beats top thrill's records....

THIS SITE SUCKS! ------------>www.wwwdotcom.com HA HA you thought i was talking about this site!
well thanks for re-phrasing my post, but I don't see your point. I think everyone gets it now and we don't need to repeat the same info over again unless the original poster is still confused as to how a record is broken

True True. TTD still gains the title until this ride opens. As soon as Kingda Ka opens, CP will have to change that, or it will be false advertisement. I don't know ALL the Facts!!!!!!
once Kingda Ka Opens TTD will start being the Tallest and Fastest Coaster in the Midwest in traditional CP style.

Hrm......just to let you all know? you took the question all wrong...Not gonna bother explaining...
Umm...Kingda Ka already broke the record after the first dispatch that they cycled it on as for speed. The height record was taken away after they completed the circuit of the ride. That is if you want to get technical.

OMGawd... freak out...(don't mean to come off like a Beyotch) (SORRY I HAD TO QUOTE YOU SO THAT YOU KNEW I WAS TALKING TO U) THIS SITE SUCKS! ------------>www.wwwdotcom.com HA HA you thought i was talking about this site!
okay, but when you quoted me, you didn't add anything to the conversation. you simply rephrased what I said. which makes your post unnecessary. if you don't have anything to add the the convo, then there's not much reason to post except to add to your post count which isn't highly respected anywhere let alone here.

SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE SETS EXCLUSIVE MEDIA PREVIEW OF KINGDA KA * THE
TALLEST, FASTEST ROLLER COASTER ON EARTH WHEN: Thursday, May 19 at 11 a.m. Kingda Ka is scheduled to open to the public May 20. WHERE: Six Flags Great Adventure theme park, Rt. 537, Jackson, NJ""" I don't know ALL the Facts!!!!!!
I'm heading up there this weekend and we were thinking:
If Ka launches a train Friday morning, then CP needs to change all their flags and other themeing that says "worlds tallest" so my friend and I raised questions: Would it close the ride friday? Do they already have the new themeing ready to go and in storage? Will they have some sort of ceremony? Anyone wanna bet Ka breaks down at least once the first day? Most importantly the first question though  Broadway Joe
CP is not going to close a main attraction to change some signs unless SF lawyers are there with court orders. you may see the signs come down eventually, but the ride will continue to operate in the meantime.

Agreed. Although war between theme chains can get dirty sometimes, I don't think that they are going to care if the signs are taken down the MOMENT of launch. Now as for TV commercials, you probably wont be seeing any advertising CP as having the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the world anytime soon, maybe in the midwest.
Oh, SFGaBob-I got a kick out of your sig.
Yes, then I'll take ya double or nothing saying that every coaster at SFGAm will break down atleast once on Saturday. Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
