“King Tigris” Six Flags Great Adventure 2026 Intamin Vertical Launch Coaster | Kingda Ka Replacement

[@davidpalomeque4689]

It would have to go at at least 100 mph and go at least 300 ft to be a worthy replacement for Kingda Ka. Also should be just as intense as Maverick.

[@iamaloser666]

I agree with the second half of that statement 😂

[@LochNessLegend]

Nah needs to be 460 feet to top Ka…

[@iamaloser666]

@@LochNessLegend height ain’t everything and Ka proved that. It doesn’t need to be taller than Ka. Just better and more intense. And it won’t be hard AT ALL to make a ride better than Ka

[@Mehoyboi]

have you ridden velocioaster tho? ill take an intamin LSM like taron and gotham city escape over an intamin strata coaster any day. those coasters are freakin NUTS.

[@MartinDipple-z6o]

@@Mehoyboiyes they’re better but i don’t think anyone outside of the coaster community would be as convinced they’re just not worthy replacements. it’s not just about the ride quality, kingda ka was an an icon.

Lets Make it go viral and be sure Six Flags see this....i would definitely favor this to be Ka replacement.....still has a tiger name....goes fast...has a fast vert lift...never been done cuz its the talleat vert lift....fast vert launches....i say lets get this...great layout...has inversions...stalls...give over the the shoulder lapbars like pantheon tho....LETS MAKE IT GO VIRAL PEOPLE

OMG the inversions are 🔥 that’s one hell of a layout! i would LOVE it they got this! i hope cedar fair can get past their beef with intamin, though 😥

[@BackRowCoasters]

@@thecoasterauthority thank you! I’ve heard rumors that cedar point wanted Intamin to work on top thrill 2, but Intamin said they have to remove iron dragon for it to work so they went with Zamperla instead

[@thecoasterauthority]

@ OHHH yesss that does sound familiar. maybe six flags can convince them hahah. imo an intamin blitz or mack extreme spinner are the only things worthy of replacing the king

[@wvkeupits_exren]

[@PoshLife123]

Ka can never really be (replaced) but this is a awesome substitute. If Cedar Flags is smart, that "multi record breaker" better be a full circuit beast the likes of King Tigris.

[@sebastianstanko739]

The new successor should be higher than the kingda ka, not lower

[@rhysswimmingandgymnastics]

I know where you’re going but tbh Kingda Ka just didn’t look that good of a ride. I can’t say because I’ve never been on it, but it just launches and goes up and back down. Honestly something with a long experience like this and maybe a little taller could be a pretty good fit

[@sebastianstanko739]

@@rhysswimmingandgymnastics So you think that in place of Kingda Ka it would be likely that a new rollercoaster at least 140-160 meters tall would be built? Could this be likely?

[@putty360]

The technology does exist to build a reliable and economical 400 foot launch coaster. I don't know what else to tell you.

[@rapidcars1]

I agree and I think the best way to do that would be to lower the station below the ground so that you go through a tunnel and shoot out of the tunnel so they add like an additional 30 feet but the structure is still 425 whatever kind the cob is you just extend the track below ground and shoot up out of the ground instead like a tunnel you shoot up out of a tunnel that would be really cool

[@TechDove]

@@rhysswimmingandgymnasticsyou said it yourself, you've never been on it, so you don't get it

[@TechDove]

If this is what they tear down kingda ka for, I hope SF goes out of business

[@BackRowCoasters]

@@TechDove it’s a concept

[@DISCOTURTLEGAMING]

Love how they kept the tiger

[@philhutchings7354]

This would be an epic coaster if it were built anywhere

[@josephflanagan1070]

Okay I like Green lantern where a lot of people didn't like it this is a good replacement for that but this will never replace the king never

[@Bobby_Mcdes7088]

It has so many Rmc elements

[@iliketrains3546]

Really cool looking layout but I think it would have to be a flat launch and 300+ ft tophat to replace Kingda ka. If this was the layout that came after I would not complain tho

[@AphelionKitty]

Could it be like Red Force at Ferrari land at Port Avetura but with an extended yet twisted layout but with a more hyped up name, heck you could mix some of i305 elements in there if you wanted to

[@Bobby_Mcdes7088]

Are we all forgetting it’s also green lanterns replacement

[@JEDIMIKETTV]

very nice layout, you even gave us a speed hill. dope!

[@toastterrrr8957]

nice creation but i’m pretty sure great adventure said it would be a multi launch coaster

[@SAMSON12321]

I would like to see a better design layout... not just an out and back coaster. Needs some new design features between that first drop hill and the back turn around. Maybe some underground travel, twists and turns and then popping up out of the ground in a different location. Would make viewers wonder what is going on underground and make the riders unaware of what is happening as they race through the tunnels like a Indiana Jones scenario.

[@CorbincordelL]

Tigerra would have been a fire name

[@edt-ze3ke]

SFOG in the meantime seeing this: WRITE THAT DOWN!! WRITE THAT DOWN!!

[@PruneJuice100]

This layout is sick! Sadly the only thing I'd accept replacing Ka that's not the same height or taller is an I305 intensity level giga with inversions like Maverick's scrapped heartline roll

[@TechDove]

I'd only accept a 500 foot 145 mph replacement

[@Mehoyboi]

i think im one of the few that agrees that intamins lsm's outclass the intamin strata coaster in every way. id rather have a gotham city escape or a velocicoaster ANY day.

[@TechDove]

Strata is superior Ka is a legend and doesn't deserve to go out this way

[@Mehoyboi]

@@TechDove L take. ka is a one trick pony that was on its way out. as much fun as the coaster was.. an intamin lsm clears stratas. agree to disagree.

[@TechDove]

@@Mehoyboi that's fine. But six flags can expect 0 dollars from me or my family if ka is gone for good

[@TechDove]

@@Mehoyboi and I know that's such a little amount but that coaster means so much to me. My best friend of 14 years died in 2006 and he was a coaster fanatic and it was the last ride we ever rode together

[@Mehoyboi]

@@TechDove I hear ya. What six flags did by just closing it over night is complete trash.

[@GinaRivera-e4l]

I just hope is worth it because kinda ka was the best ride I ever got in the world 😂❤😭🙏

[@TechDove]

If ka is truly replaced and it doesn't up the ante in height and speed I'll never give Six flags another penny as long as I live 😊

[@Mr.SingleRider]

This is really good Not like i have seen it before..

[@universalgames2901]

At least a 300 foot tall hill or spike, solid theming, and on-board audio

[@Lee-kx7pg]

Layout could def use some major tweaks but I like this better than the Shuttle Spinner for sure

[@oneandonlysound99]

Please no more broken intamins. Time to do something with El Toro as it is., RMC-gravity group, or GCI Give us Mack or vekoma launch instead, they actually work. And put in some new flat rides, just a zamperla endeavour somewhat near superman would be enough for now. Not 2027 or some bs. They shouldn't even be charging full price for passes in 2025 tbh, Flash was already supposed to be open and they removed 2 major coasters. Hopefully they may just start doing something right...probably not.

[@PenguinStudios-56]

Great idea except I think the Worlds Tallest inversion would better a long with this

[@benjaminalston8884]

You know what people never talk about? How vertical launches kind of suck. I’d rather be launched flat and go up a vertical hill that have a gimmicky vertical launch on a ride

[@calvinpetty343]

The element at 1:00 looks exactly like an element I put on an RMC about a year ago! Absolutely awesome moment man

[@Project_NoLimits]

It's just an element from Untamed.

@@Bamboozled711 yeah but the launch is vertical

This could have a valley problem. The way you put all the slow elements at the end is when rides usually valley because the speed deviation is a lot more the further you go into the layout. Good layout though.

[@thilton2346]

i mean its a good concept i just think it isnt good enough to replace kingda ka. Or good enough to take up that much space, a bigger concept would be better and more realistic because six flags is investing over 1 billion dollars on their parks, and im sure the most expensive one will be the one that replace kingda ka. So i think that if this coaster was bigger faster and a little bit longer it would be good. But the layout is pretty good, overall its a good concept i just dont think its good enough to replace the open space.

[@BackRowCoasters]

@@thilton2346 ngl but I actually lied about the height, I said in the video that it was 260 but it’s actually more like 290 but I didn’t want people to think it was too unrealistic

Nah, this looks like a way more complete and fun experience than Kingda Ka. Kinda ka is cool but the experience is overall a bit short and not much to it. People are just extra sad right now because its kind of an end of an era.

[@RomanJockMCO]

@0dylan Save the patronizing attitude as it makes you look ignorant. Yes, Ka was kind of a one-trick pony, but that trick is why we liked it. There are so many rollercoasters that offer what this video does that we are spoiled for choice. If you were really in the mood for a beer and someone offered you a chardonnay, would you be satisfied? They're both alcohol. Furthermore, some of us are getting up in our years and not overly interested in yet another twist machine. Skydiving is also a one-trick pony, but there are plenty of people who continue to enjoy it after many jumps. This was a unique ride that offered a unique experience that will not be satisfied thru other means.
