Just wanted to know what everyone thinks of this ride. I haven't been on it yet, but I'm sure that will change next year. ----------------- I Survived Millennium Force!

Fantastic ride. I rode in both the first and last rows last year. While you don't get a good, airtime-filled straight drop, the sensation of speed you experience when you bottom out after plunging over that cliff is amazing. The first loop is enormous, and there's a little bit of hangtime at the top. The whole ride is just so smooth, but so incredibly fast. And the placement of SKC adjacent to the park's limestone cliffs just adds to the beauty and thrill of the ride. I haven't ridden too many steel loopers, but SKC, by far, is the best I've come across so far.
Yup that ride looks awesome. Wouldn't mind riding it myself!!! Too bad I live in Wisconsin :(
S:KC is very very good. Easily the standout looper at SFFT, or all of Texas for that matter. I have to admit that the helix at the top of the canyon (after the loop) is a little strange, but still fun. You expect to have an inversion there, but there isn't one.
I know you didn't ask, but I liked Medusa West better, by the slimmest of margins.
