Thanks for sending that link. Now I want KI to have a Jump²

I would like a Jump2, but only if they could flip the seats to the other side of those arms, facing out. I'd much rather watch the views than other riders' faces.

The most enjoyable part of a Jump² is the surprise you get when it isn't down for maintenance...

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun ride... When it runs...But it's down for maintenance more than any other ride in the park...

You know, that was the thought that came to my mind when I watched the video: I bet maintenance is a nightmare on that thing. Not surprised to hear I was right.

Correct, the maintenance has been a challenge, bu the ride experience is a ton of fun! I really want one, maybe updated to not have so many issues lol.

HUSS.

Modern HUSS rides include Tomb Raider: The Ride, the KI and CP Deliriums which have required a great deal of unexpected maintenance and the Dollywood ride that required a sign and a lawsuit as it apparently never worked reliably and was often closed.

The Jump2 at NJFTP was quietly and rapidly removed.

I suspect you'd see an INTAMIN coaster at Kings Island before you saw a Jump2.

Tell you what, maybe someone could arrange a trade: we`ll send you the Jump² in exchange for designing a good wooden coaster for us...

Totally didn't know that NJFTP had a Jump². Interesting!

Thanks for posting that link, I've poked around there a few times, reading up on Great Adventure's history Also, Jumpin' Jack Flash looks a lot different than Slegehammer (this is expected, considering it was a prototype). I think that a Jump2 in Action Zone would be sick (as in awesome/cool)!

If we're talking Huss, we might as look to the older, reliable rides. How about a Swing Around? Check out the Corn Popper at Darien Lake.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. NJFTP's Jump² had the seats mounted above a platform while on the one at CW they are suspended below. Did that have any noticeable effect on the ride experience?

Yes. I suspect it greatly contributed to the wild, seemingly uncontrolled ride (and maintenance problems).
