With Cedar Point opening Top Thrill 2 this year, I wanted to see what it would look like if Kingda Ka gets an LSM retrofit and the park goes all-out with it. 3 launches (technically 6), a speed hill which gets more intense with each pass, and a reverse spike towering over the area. And there's a few alternate reverse spike designs to spice things up: leaning tower, airtime bump spike, and a spire to replace the Parachute tower (if they're removing the Parachutes, might as well find a way to one-up it)


Reverse spike height: 456'

First launch speed: 80 mph
Reverse launch speed: 110 mph
Final launch speed: 122 mph

    Not gonna lie dude when the music starts at 19 seconds you literally have that perfectly in sync and time with the ride, the start, rollback and all. If this becomes a reality this is it.
  • @MLDesigns
    Very well-executed and great presentation! Big fan of the hill launch; and how it blasts through the roof as well.
  • @ItsDannyRobbins
    This is impeccably done, and perfectly conceptualized. That last layout with the spiral spike and high-g S-bend was spectacular.
  • @seanl8930
    dude that airtime hill going into the top hat would be insane way more insane than the one going into the breakrun.
  • @CarlileCoasters
    Dude the crazy amounts of noise going through the station like that Not even to mention the crazy ass amount of wind💀 Makes me worried for TT2
  • @stanton1270
    That last concept with the spiral spike seems honestly like the best fit! FANTASTIC concept!
  • @rct2nerd
    I personally don't see Zamperla redoing Kingda Ka in the future because of Zumanjaro being attached to the Kingda Ka structure, but this is a nice creation. That being said, let's hope that Kingda Ka still remains a hydraulic launch coaster until the day it desperately needs a new launch system.
  • @nathanjablonski8437
    if they did this lets just hope they keep that launch hill because im worried dragsters launch will now be lackluster
  • @ThoosiesCorner
    This is much crazier than the irl version, while I still appreciate the original, this one is just amazing. Imagine putting a 5 year old on it.
  • @DanielHartman503
    A reimagining is the only way six flags would paint this coaster. One can only hope that the merger with cedar fair will make six flags paint their coasters more often then once every 20 years.
  • @landonmj7263
    Can we take a second to admire the Google Earth lookin surroundings?
  • @MakBot
    What is that red and white coaster you have tucked between Ka and Green Lantern? A re-imagined Scream Machine?
  • @Raven1015
    Welp, can't say I wasn't expecting this.
  • @Jcjc-lr4bf
    I love this. The center station swoop is crazy. What’s that in the background? Scream machine 2.0? Also I’d love to see a version of a twisted spike like that one video of dragster somebody made with what we thought the twisted spike would look like! Sorta like Drachen spire inspired no pun intended
  • @JJJJ-he8bz
    That small airtime hill going at 128 mph would kill people
  • @CoasterGuy95
    Here’s the thing, this is awesome but gadv confirmed during their enthusiast event (thrillathon 2023) they’re not touching kingda ka for the time being, for at least 10-15 yrs, I was there but a few other people can also confirm this with you. Cool concept to look at though. Nicely done.
