The Volcano @ Paramount's Kings Dominion re-opened on July 11, 2006. They said the malfunction was due to a loose bolt on the ride. http://www.richmondtimesdispatch.com/servl...s=1045855934842 Video: (below) www.wric.com/Global/story.asp?S=5130904&nav=menu28_2 And another thing, Flight of Fear might be back open by the end of this year!

If your talking to me, heres why... 1) The great layout of the ride (could have been longer) 2) The Forceful launches. 3) 2 Launches (1st launch around 55mph and the second launch at 72mph! 4) Inverted Launch Coaster! 5) Themed 6) The sweet inversions! 7) The drop back into the mountain ties it all together as a great ride! By the way... I have a new On-Ride video of Drop Zone @ PKD! You can find the link below! http://pkdsource.thrillnetwork.net/videodownloads.html <------ VIDEO, VIDEO, VIDEO! ^DON'T SKIP THIS POST! ^

I don't get it... Drachen Fire doen't even operate anymore... :?

I have a pkdsite up right now but it's still in the works... Don't worry, I'll make it so it sucks like pkd. Video's photos, and descriptions will be up soon... :o link below! 8) http://pkdsource.thrillnetwork.net There is not alot of stuff going on right now but I will TRY to update it tonight if possible... Oh yeah, did I mention my fourm is dead?

Tomb Raider: Firefall has ball crushing effects on the rear side of the gondola. Anaconda's corckscrews are the best part IMO too because they make you feel like your going to fall out! It's insane! Pkd Sucks! Nah they don't suck but they suck!

Go to http://www.parkfeedback.com/blog to visit the new Paramount Parks blog. There, you can find some of the latest news... :o

I don't think they will be getting the mtv coaster because thats the retheme for pkd and pki's Flight of Fear... Maybe pga should get Flight of Fear too... no they don't deserve it lol ... just kidding but they won't be getting Flight of Fear for sure!

Volcano - Awsome ride, forceful launches and the themeing... Anaconda - awsome ride but one rough part... Flight of Fear - awsome ride but the lines are too long... maybe 2hours at the most this year... Also, what is it doing in the Congo? Tomb Raider: Firefall - the best ride in the park well... at least in my opinion or I can say one of the best rides in the park... you can feel the fire, get splahed on with water, and 8 flips on the ride and one part where its trying to warn you about burning you into the fire... it's awsome but the themeing was rushed... Shcokwave - awsome ride from the first drop, through the loop and up the second hill... when you get into the helix the ride is going downhill because of the roughness... Rebel Yell - awsome racer but if you sit in the back car on the backwards side it jiggles your stomache and it hurts! Hurler - meh, it's ok but great airtime woodie! Grizzly - Intense in the backcar from beggining to end! The first drop in the back car is super insane! It's my 2nd favorite coaster in the world and my #1 favorite woodie in the world... Drop Zone - ahhh! Intense! Loved it ALOT! HyperSonic XLC - super intense! loved it but IDK if im riding it again. Taxi Jam - geat kiddie coaster... Scooby-Doo's Ghoster Coaster - more intense than you expected it to be... IMO its alot more intense then Anaconda... Berserker - plain intense! Loved it! Avalanche - the best bobsled coaster in the world! Or at least the US, anyone agree? Ricochet - awsome wild mouse! Italian Job: Stunt Coaster - meh, never rode it cause its not built yet... I'll tell ya how it is when I ride it next Spring 2006. PKD RULES RULES RULES!... NO, THEY SUCK! Here ar some pictures... Grizzly Station - It was usualy a walk on but this year with the new track, it's better than ever! Theres Volcano, Well, from the side... Flight of Fear sign - again, great ride!!!! Anaconda! It's a good ride. Grizzly Station where the train leaves Ahhh, Tomb Raider At night! :o Tomb Raider: Firefall w/ fire effects. It's alot of fun! Oh... look... fire! So far, you can tell I love this ride... Oh, look flipping upsidedown slowly... It lifts up slowly at the begginging of the ride and stops diagonally at the top... Swinging Manuvers and steam OMG Weeee! Rebe Yell! Drop Zone is scary fun!!! Tomb Raider upsidedown! Tomb Raider Flipping action at the end with a final 5 flip! Seeing Knott's Riptide makes me sad because the seats arnt filled up... Tomb Raider: Firefall hardly has an empty seat... Tomb Raider: Firefall, Water Cannons, Fire and steam! Thats all... Comment if you wish.[/img]

Nope... the press release said it all... It said highly themed and that mechanical anchient artifacts would surround the rides que line... witch was a cose qoute that said... "as adventures walk pass debries of past failed expeditions... " where are the failed expeditions? ... oh wow some small rocks and some plants... Tomb Raider has noting to do with failed expeditions...

^Well yeah I forgot to add that I still haven't rode it yet so I can't really say that just yet... but from what I have heard it was kindof a let down to some pki fans so thats the only reason im saying that... For Tomb Raider, it's an awsome ride but the themeing was rushed from what it looks like... The ride effects are what makes Tomb Raider an exciting ride and let me tell you... without them, the ride would be noting...

I think Italian Job will suck but I could be wrong... BTW the "offical" name of the coaster is Italian Job: Stunt Coaster... IMO the name is worse than the name pki & pcw got. They were going to name ours Italian Job: Street Chase but they changed it to Italian Job: Stunt Coaster... I hope pkd doen't mess up with this like they did with the poor themeing on Tomb Raider which they completly rushed... But the over all ride on Tomb Raider is awsome!

Have any of you guys/girls been to pkd (Paramount's Kings Dominion)? If so what did you like about it and what were your dislikes about it? PKD is my homepark so the thing I like most about it is Volcano, The Blast Coaster (inveted intamin launch coaster) & Tomb Raider: Firefall (floorless/suspended topspin). What I dislike most about it is the parks atmousphere... They are really lacking... BTW pkd is getting Italian Job: Stunt Coaster in 2006 witch IMO will really suck!
