I was on Kingda Ka last week for the 24th time. A week before that i was on Top Thrill Dragster. You can totally feel
the 8mph difference between them. This ride is amazing and so much fun. You have to give this ride a try!

When i went on Kingda Ka for the first time, the launch totally took my breath away. Going up the tower was a unique
feeling(in a good way!) and dropping was scary as hell. Amazing Ride!!!

TTD's Launch is quicker, and if you don't believe me, then time it yourself!!!

I love the ride, the acceleration is sick! But man the restraints take all of the fun out of it, and they hurt too. TTD
is a lot better, especially with the view of the lake.

MikeisEvil.....Ka nears 5 g's when is pulls up to go up the tophat. And a 1.7 g launch is a ton of acceleration force.

This was rough. I got a headache frmo the launch and I didn't on TTD. It is a bit of a rip-off, the themeing (and name)
aren't very good, but the drop is out of this world. I wish you got more airtime on that second hill though, thats what
its there for but it doesn't really do anything.

This was OK, but not as exciting as the TTD. This ride had little to no theme, no crazy launch, the OTS restraints
KILL, and the hill at the end takes the fun out of it.

Its an awesome ride in the front few rows, we rode front row for the first ride and it was excellent, then went to the
back row next and it was awful, was covered in bruises all over my arms and shoulders - the restraints are
killers.
Loved when my cheeks jiggled on the launch tho, kudos from me for that :D

this is a great ride. the launch is very fast, and you really don't have time to think about anything because the speed
is so intense. the climb to the top is crazy, it's almost impossible to turn your head up, and the turn on the way up
makes you feel like you're already on the way down. the drop is just like a normal drop, except it's really high, and
then it's naturally fast from there. overall, this ride is not painful, it wakes you up, and it's a great experience.

I've been on rides with these restraints and sorry TTD is better i mean come on. Going 128 mph in those restraints so
uncomfortable!

I though it couldn't be beat until I rode TTD for the first time last month. Maybe I'm just too used to it since I ride
it almosy every other week. A solid 9.

Top thrill was better imho, maybe because it was first I don't know, but it FELT more forceful, and while the launches
are really really fun ......... Thats all these rides have.

Ok, so I went on the tallest and the fastest. Now what ? Top Thrill has better restraints. Even with a shorter wait
than "normal", both trips on this were not as good as on Nitro or Chiller.

Not only will the ride launch you with 5G force it will also intimidate you, from the 30 seconds to 1:30 minute you are
waiting for the launch system to reset itself you will be looking up at the 456 foot tower and imagining than in 3.5
seconds you will reach 128MPH and in 10 seconds you will be at the top of the tower, to then fall straight down or if
you are one of the lucky few, rollback and get lauched again, Yes it is a PERFECTED version of Top Thrill Dragster, but
sorry TTD fans this one is better, it is the world's tallest and fastest, and even was a star on "modern marvels"
show.
SIMPLY THE MOST THRILL YOU CAN GET ON A ROLLER COASTER!

Sorry - TTD is way better. TTD has lapbars. You have the feeling of being strapped in with sticky tape on this. TTD has
a feeling of freefall freedom. Don't have a go at me, Kingda Ka fans. It's just my opinion.

Kingda Ka was fun, but it was very short. The restraints hurt a bit a little above my knees, and that sorta ruined the
ride. And the scariest part was not the launch or going down the big dip, but it was at the very top. I'd give it a 9.
And I did get a decent amount of airtime on the airtime hill.

I do not bother on where it is placed, I'm more interested on the outside view of the park, if you don't see it or not.
It'll stay in the memory

I have been on both Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster and I must say, Top Thrill Dragster Is Way Better. Why? Well The
Ride Features OTSR's which take away the freedom of the ride and the view is of well a parking lot. Top Thrill Dragsters
view is of all the tiny peope and flat rides below, and with only lap-bars, you have tons of freedom. Also the theme of
Top Thrill Dragster is better fitted for this type of ride. But Kingda Ka is still an OK ride ...

Better then Top Thrill Dragster by just a little bit in my opinion. This ride has a launch that I absolutely love and
couldn't get enough of. The front row is the best thrill by far on this ride and it's the smoothest.
Got to ride it
