We're here at Six Flags Discovory Kingdom to ride your Typical SLC. After climbing in the seat and pulling down the shoulder harness, you dispatch. Up the lift you go. Once you reach the top, it's all downhill from there. You curve and away and down you go! However, from here on out, this ride hurts. And it hurts ALOT!!!!! Once you reach the bottom of the first drop, it's all fast. Then you soar up in the sea serpent roll, It's very painful going through it, your head is banging around like as if it were at a rock concert. Then after flipping upsidedown a second time, you head back down and head straight for the overbanked turn. On some SLCs, this turn is a lot of fun, but on Kong, it's just an excuse for some sheering pain. Then you head for the sidewinder. You get a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD jolt coming out of it. And it hurts. It hurts ALOT!!!! Then you turn around, getting a decent view of Medusa, too bad your in too much pain to appreciate this view. After that, you straight for two inline twists. The Inline Twists are AWFUL!!!!! They shake you like a british nanny. You don't even notice you're upsidedown. All you notice is "OWW!!! OWW!! GET ME OFF THIS F*CKING DEATH TRAP!!!!!" Then there's not that much. You go through a small hill, around a turn, and down another slight hill, only to glide into the brake run. And yes, even that part hurts. Kong is a HORRIBLE SLC. In fact, it's currently the worst SLC I've ever been on. And the saddest part, is that when I rode it back in 2005, it was actually a lot of fun and not that painful. But now in 2010, it's simply terrible. I would not recommend you ride Kong unless you're an SLC Virgin or a credit whore with an iron skull.
