I was actually wondering the same thing. Other than my visit to KD during spring break, the park has been pretty dead every other time I've gone so far this season. I went yesterday and the park was only somewhat crowded in the waterpark. I ended up waiting 1 train for I-305 at around 4:00, and not 20 minutes later, I practically walked onto Dominator.

The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
Coaster_Fanatic replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Alpengeist at BGW was a pretty big letdown. For an invert so huge it didn't provide as many forces as you'd think. The final part of the ride after the MCBR is really slow and boring also. -
When brakes bite hard
Coaster_Fanatic replied to Samuel's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've always thought that Ricochet at Kings Dominion had some extremely abrupt brakes. -

The teaser definitely points to the name Centurion, which is the commander of a century in the ancient roman army, I should add. -
Kings Dominion Birthday Bash-May 10th,2014
Coaster_Fanatic replied to CPSFMMCW's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Interesting... Drop Tower's catch car has been stuck in the same spot since my visit last Sunday...hope nothing too major is wrong with it. Thanks for the report. Looks like it was a lot of fun. -
The track configurations weren't meant to make black/gray-outs less frequent, but to keep the wheels on the trains from practically melting, rather. I've ridden I-305 with trims and with the track configurations MANY times and I've never grayed or blacked out. I get scared that it will happen to me every time I go down the first drop though

Most INTENSE Coaster Moment?
Coaster_Fanatic replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Intimidator 305 - The turn at the bottom of the first drop where you can blackout very easily due to the intense forces. El Toro - The final "big drop" of the ride where it used to cross over Rolling Thunder. The extremely intense ejector airtime is insane! Hypersonic XLC (Demolished) - The launch was insanely intense. Going 0-80 MPH in under 2 seconds was an extreme experience. -
B&M vs Intamin
Coaster_Fanatic replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm going to have to say Intamin here. I have never walked off of any of their rides thinking that it was lame or boring, and their rides age extremely well compared to B&Ms (from my experiences), which is always a plus. Volcano at Kings Dominion is a perfect example. The ride is 16 years old and it is still the smoothest coaster I have ridden! -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Coaster_Fanatic replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm pretty sure it will stay as a rendering on the map throughout the year. (KD did it with I-305 for the 2010 map cover, and then they used a real picture of the ride the following year, for example.) -
