Maximum height for Six Flags' Kingda Ka?

Question

Okay well, I was just reading about this ride and it says that it is possible to be too tall and you won't be able to ride it because you could get whiplash. Me and my family are thinking of going to New Jersey and to Six Flags for the summer and I of course want to ride this roller coaster. I am 5'11 and I do not want to be told I can't ride it, or be told to get off, so. Can anyone tell me the maximum height for this ride? or if anyone taller has ridden it? Thanks a lot =)

Answer 1

i think it 5ft something i rode it im 6'1

Answer 2

No sorry.  Did you try looking on the website or calling? But I don't think you will be too tall.

Answer 3

I know that you should be able to ride the ride.  I think  the maximum height is 6 ft 5.  All I know is that you will be able to.

Answer 4

You will definitely be able to ride it.  Top Thrill Dragster, a coaster just like it at Cedar Point has a max. height of 6'3" approx.    

It was created by the same company, Intamin AG, so the coaster specs are probably very close.

Answer 5

Unless it is a kiddie ride, you probably don't have anything to worry about.  That issue would come into play if your head was much taller than the headrest.  In designing the ride, they would build it so that the vast majority of adults can ride which means that the upper limit would probably be like 6 and a half feet.  Check their website if you still think it is an issue.
