Long story short, we get to Kingda Ka and the line is closed. I give the guard a sob story about how we'd only gotten to ride ONE RIDE (er, ok...and a $20 handshake...cha-ching!) and we were magically admitted to the line. Four hour wait, my ass! Wooooo! Here's us right up at the front of the line.
Right when we got to the park, the first thing we noticed was Kingda Ka! They had just finished building it and none of has ridden it yet. It's 45 stories tall and uses a hydraulic launcher to catapult you from 0 - 128mph in 3.5 seconds. Total insanity. (At the time we were there, it was the world record holder for the fastest and tallest roller coaster!).
