Nitro or Kingda Ka?

[B][SIZE=3][COLOR=red]ONLY VOTE IF YOU'VE RODE BOTH PLEASE[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
Which one do you like better? I love both of them so, I don't know what to pick..it's really tough, Nitro is longer but Kingda Ka is way faster and taller, which I like, the launch really gives a thrill. Nitro's drops are great too though, they actually make you feel 0 g's.... Tough decision.

the way i see it:
if there is a walk-on through about 30 minutes of line for both coasters, i would go on kingda ka. if there is a 30+ line for both coasters, i would go on nitro. of course, my mood and what i want to ride is more important but i think thats a good way to decide. they are both amazing rollercoasters that really are unable to compare with each other, so even though i've ridden both, i vote for neither

Nitro by far. about 10x as long as KK, still fast...I like the first drop as much as the launch on KK, and that was the only good part of KK imo, and then nitro has the whole rest of the ride. If KK's line is under 20 minutes, like in the morning when you go on sunday, then I'll ride it. Otherwise, my 20 minutes would be better spent in line for nitro.

I can't really compare them. They are both great for different. reasons and they are completely different.

Easy...Nitro. KK hurts. Maybe if they completely fix the extreme shuffling I experienced then maybe...but Nitro is just so much, much more satisfying. Its crazy.

^ It's not that bad, it is just the pullup that is a little bumpy.

Nitro is a far more complete ride. Kingda Ka is great and insanely intense, but Nitro is long and has some nice moments of air and the hammerhead turn is awesome.

The front of KK is not shakey at all. Thats the only place I've ridden on it so I don't know if the rest is shakey or something.

While Nitro is scarier (none of them scare me really, but I would say Nitro is scarier) becuase the trains are very open, and the ride goes up high in wide open spaces, I would pick Kingda Ka. Kingda Ka is more intense, because of the launch and drop. It is a shorter ride of course, but it is more enjoyable.

It's like compairing MF with Dragster, one is short and unbelievibly intense, the other is still tall and fast while being a more complete (but less intense) expearence. Of course I predict that I would enjoy Nitro more, however haven't ridden neither I'll abstain from voting.
