Well I guess I'm 0/3 in this thread.:frown: You're right, the Kingda Ka is hydraulics based.

as is Xcelerator ;) of which happened to be the first launched ride from Intamin to put the hydraulic launch to use. that's a decent little ride actually, pretty fun but doesn't offer nothing compared to Dragster. Would have been a better ride if I hadn't rode Dragster before riding Xcelerator.
