    Victory Kingdom | U-Shape Roller Coaster Status

    Hey super late reply but saw that no one else chimed in...from what I've heard the operating costs heavily outweighed any revenue they were making off the ride- so it's shut down indefinitely. Maybe it will eventually be sold? Seemed like a cool small footprint ride...

    If you could design a coaster, what type/elements would you pick and where would it go?

    This is a bit of a late response but I had to see if you've seen this masterpiece... That is an SW9 concept full of promise.

    So it appears the ride opened successfully July 15th but was shut down the following day... Anyone know if it's just a temporary complication or more of a long term issue?

    Six Flags Announces acquisition of Waterworld- more on the way?

    ^ Would be awesome if they picked Darien and Elitch's back up and gave them some much needed love. Six Flags has been generally pretty good at distributing their investments lately and they could probably reinvigorate those parks!

    Ugh...just wondering how savage the inevitable trims going into that loop are going to be. Although it would be very Fuji-Q-esque to just let the train rail into it untrimmed and pull 7.5 Gs...

    Great Coaster Names That Haven't Been Used Yet.

    Yessss...hopefully Cedar Fair uses Centurion for a :emoji_fingers_crossed: King's Island Gig. I second mythlogical beast names being infallible...Bahamut, Manticore and Raiju come to mind. Given Invadr's viking theme I feel like Berserkir would've been a cool choice.

    Top Coaster Moments

    Dodonpa's Launch- Closest thing us mere mortals will ever get to experiencing a space shuttle take off...beyond outrageously intense. Dodonpa's (RIP) Top Hat- Arguably the most insane ejector air time on a roller coaster. Thunder Dolphin at Night- The ride itself is somewhat sub-par...but riding...

    Slightly updated picture. Looking like it will be just a bit shorter than the nearby Tekkotsubanchou swing tower which is 59 meters (193.6 feet) tall. sauce: https://twitter.com/All_In_MyHeart/media
