Re: Kentucky Kingdom
Here's a little bit more info and the park's off-ride animation video.
Lightning Run is going to be a $7 million Chance Rides Hyper GT-X steel coaster and feature a 100 foot, 80-degree drop.

First off, let me just say that the trains look fab.
I'm actually more interested to see how this compares to the old Morgan Hypers than the Megalites. The drop looks pretty good and it looks like it has some nice pops of airtime. I'm surprised how twisty it is as well.

As said above this is surprisingly twisty for a Morgan/Chance.
Looks like they really have gone out of their comfort zone, nice to see them make a comeback.

Is it me, or do those lap bars look nearly identical to the ones RMC uses on Outlaw Run?

Sexy! It looks like a superhero's automobile

I'm still waiting to see if they are going to have this thing running by opening day. I am hoping to make a trip to Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, and Kings Island in Late May. I know it's cold, but this thing is going to have to go up fast to make opening day.

Just do Holiwood Nights and then nab the two parks on Saturday morning (as the waterpark ERT is messed up apparently this year) and Sunday (unless you want to do HW on sunday, then just hit KI on Monday before heading home).

Re: Kentucky Kingdom | Lightning Run | Chance Rides Hyper GT
That's a good plan, but the problem for me is that I really want to ride Lightning Run. So if they don't get this thing up and running by opening day (May 24), I'm going put off the whole trip until it's ready.
I wasn't originally thinking about Holiwood Nights, but it sounds cool. I was just thinking the last week of May during the week, all 3 parks should be dead.
