I fail to see how a notice about auto-renewals being cancelled turns into "membership model". -

Where are you seeing this, super-new user? -

It has not, and that kinda blows. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

The entire thing seems made by Kings Island. -
1. You probably won't need a FP on Monday, but budget for it just in case. SFGAdv's typical clientele will make you not want to wait in any lines with them at all whatsoever. 2. Kingda Ka as soon as you see it running, since it might not run all day. Others can fill in preferred routes. 3. Wonder Woman (if it's up), Zumanjaro, and Houdini. Cannot stress Houdini enough. 4. If you're not flying, go to Kings Dominion or Busch Gardens instead and have yourself a much more enjoyable time. If you are flying or will be in the area for other reasons, go to Hershey Park, Knoebels, Dorney Park, or Morey's Piers and have yourself a much more enjoyable time.

I think part of the problem is that this park has about as much actual activity and changes as Dorney Park does, and this thread is for some inexplicable reason almost twice as long. You DL fans are just insane about minutiae and discussing all kinds of crazy out there possibilities that are extremely unlikely. Can't fault anyone for poking fun at that. And if you can't handle people poking fun at your inane obsession with a mid-tier park that doesn't need and won't get any substantial investment, perhaps this place is more your speed. It's ripe for revitalization.

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
AmyUD06 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe. It'll depend on the weather. I'm guessing you can't budget for a FL+. I have a Platinum Pass and all-season FL+, so I normally don't follow this routine, but here you go: If you are there from open to close, you should be able to hit all of the adult coasters at least once, even with having to wait in lines. I recommend the following course: 1. Detour into Camp Snoopy for Woodstock Express. Will definitely get more of a line later due to the height restriction. 2. Beeline to the back of the park for Apple Zapple. Can get a line later in the day due to low height restriction, and low capacity. 3. Twisted Timbers. Will be right there, and WILL get a substantial line later. 4. Now start a counter-clockwise rotation around the park. Rebel Yell/Racer 75. 5. Backlot Stunt Coaster 6. Anaconda 7. Flight of Fear. The AC'd queue will feel pretty good around this point in the day. 8. Intimidator 9. Avalanche 10. Dominator 11. Grizzly At this point, if you have any time left in the day, I recommend getting a few more rides on Twisted Timbers or marathoning Intimidator -

Dear god are people over there insane. -

It's their original wave pool, located at the very back of the water park. They also have a newer wave pool located midway through the water park. -
Another Frisbee Pendulum Accident In India
AmyUD06 replied to t-forty's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those two statements are mutually exclusive. It is absolutely reasonable to say that most if not all rides in these countries are dangerous and not implicate that there is anything negative about their people. -

Not sure how old the Google Maps satellite images are, but that spot appears to be occupied by some sort simpler rotating ride. -

My apologies; I'll behave. -
Insane Frisbee Accident in Uzbekistan...
AmyUD06 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
And I'm from the same exact hometown as you, and went to HS with your sister, so that means what? Even shitty Delaware, which I will admit is pretty shitty, is nowhere near the level of shithole that these countries are. -

Yes, clearly you're elated so you can make your "third world" claim again. Yes, I am. Sorry I'm not "woke" enough for you. Third world is third world regardless of how non-PC it may be to call it out. -

Gee, what do you know, a similar ride also collapses killing 3, also in a third world country. (Warning: Video in linked article which specifically mentions people getting killed may not be safe for those too stupid to realize a video in an article which specifically mentions people getting killed may contain footage of people getting killed.) https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/791883/video-theme-park-ride-collapase-india-ahmedabad-deaths -
Questions for a Skycoaster Operator?
AmyUD06 replied to disownedpear's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How many people actually go on these when installed in a major park? I ask since I was at King's Dominion yesterday, and probably spent a total of 4 hours in the general vicinity of their Skycoaster, and saw zero people partake. -
I can tell you that 90 through Chicago is NOT a good idea; I did it when I went out there in 2017 and it was the worst 6 hours of the entire drive. Googlemaps recommends the 294 route, but I'd suggest something a little out there: 1. Take 96 west across Michigan to Muskegon. 2. Take the Lake Express Ferry to Milwaukee 3. Take 94 south to the park. It'll cost substantially more (the ferry isn't cheap), and take about 2 hours longer than the 294 route, but you get to enjoy a ferry ride (it's better to spend 2 hours walking around a boat with access to a bar then 2 hours sitting in stop-and-go traffic) and even stop in MiA for a few rides if you want. I took the ferry going back east from Milwaukee and it was a very, very smart move on my part. If you decide to go that route, I highly recommend buying the ferry ticket for a specific time in advance - you don't want to get there and find the boat is full since they run 6 hour departure intervals.

This is the first year of them being a "Six Flags" park again. I'd be happy my membership even gets me in*, and not try to worry about all of the fringe benefits that you're accustomed to that this park had never done before. *That is if I were ever theoretically excited about going to SFDL, which I would never, ever, ever be.
