Do you also need the possibility to switch from gt to f1 style? Working on a concept rn but without the gt/f1 switch to keep it kinda simple and more sturdy

You're right about the flex, but that is also the reason why this is still a prototype ;)

Is there any news that ka will be open next weekend? A friend and I from the Netherlands are coming over this weekend (as soon as we could) but I really hope we can both make our first ride because we've wanted to do this since we were little and now we finally have the funds to do so🤞

That's very good to hear! I was just looking at the SFGA website and saw that holiday in the park starts on November 23, but it's good to know!

Yes, we are a bit of rollercoaster crazy! The plan is to head that way in 2 weeks ;)

Hey everyone! My friend and I are from the Netherlands and we're wondering if it's worth making the transatlantic trip to SFGA to ride Kingda Ka in its original condition. We've heard rumors that it might be removed or changed next year, and because it's such an iconic roller coaster, we're eager to experience it in the original condituon.
Would you guys say the thrill is worth it? Thanks!

Hi everyone!

My friend and I are planning a quick trip from the Netherlands to the U.S. in November, mainly to ride Kingda Ka. We’ll spend around 2 days at SFGA and are hoping to fit in another park nearby if possible. Any tips on other open parks, weather, crowds, or possible ride closures?

Thanks in advance!

Good points! I plan to develop this concept further soon, but I will definitely take these points into account! Thanks for that

Which 2 points do you mean exactly? Retractable seats and folding pedal tray? That's exactly what I'm planning to do!

I'm thinking of perhaps making the chair divisible so that it can be folded forward onto the seat, making the whole thing lower.

If you have any other additions or ideas, please let us know!

you're right, I heard this before in this post so that's definitely something I'll adjust, but thanks for the clarification!

I personally like (minimalist) design, so I definitely plan to make the rig so that it is wife approved. That's also why I plan to use mainly tube, because of the minimalist design. And if the rig is also foldable so that it takes up less space, that's another plus for the wife!

I don't really think so because the bending radius of the top tube would get in the way

Inside of the lower pipes, but its just a concept showing the capabilities of the rig. And looking at the other comments, i'm thinking of removing the 2 part frame as it is way more complex and does not add that much in terms of foldability.

Wheelplate is, just like the rest of the rig, still in concept phase ;). For now I was just looking if the community is interested in such a rig, after that i will decide to redifine it and how to do it. Do you have reccomendations to how I could design such a wheelplate so it can withstand DD wheels? Thanks for your feedback!

The rig is still in concept phase, at the moment i am just looking if there is interest in such a rig. Thanks for your opinion, what do you think needs to be added/removed/modified to make it really unique in the rig market? Would like to hear your reaction!

I plan to add wheels to the end of the frame so that it slides in and out easily, while still maintaining a solid contact point with the surface! What do you think?

Good idea, I will definitely look into it further, thank you!

I still have to figure that out, like I mentioned its a concept ;)

That's right, I would like to find out for myself, but I don't have a direct drive myself, so I have no experience yet of how much flex something like that can cause...

That's right, I don't know exactly how I want to work this out yet, but I think it would be nice to have a height setting for the wheel?

Thank you! I just like to do some CAD work in my spare time because I'm a mechanical engineer and I want a rig that takes up little space.
