Kingda Ka /Balin's Jungleland -Six Flags N.J. - General Tiki

If anyone gets over there to ride the new coaster, let us know how elaborate the tiki bar decor actually is. I am sure us T.C.ers have a different idea of elaborate tiki bar decor, but still worth checking out.

(Actually I think it's Swahili for "this ride will make you spew copiously".)
