I enjoy Flight of Fear, too--but it can give you a good bone shaking from time to time. Ha! Should've ridden it when they had over the shoulder restraints. It really sucked hard then. -

No one agrees? I do. Flight of Fear is superb. In an earlier post, I actually forgot to put that with my must rides at KD. I wish they had enclosed Jokers Jinx too; still one of my favorites at SFA though. -

Lol,..after going back and reading some things in this thread, I don't think the 'enthusiast entitlement' claim applies. I believe most of the disgust is directed more at 'how' they announced for what was given. I really haven't heard the 'they were supposed to add', etc. My opinion is that this type of announcement didn't warrant the 'spectacle'. Some are upset about the teaser with Snoopy looking at plans with the coaster in the background. The teaser was probably met to mislead (get u thinking in the wrong direction) They got you..deal with it..lol... I'm man enough to say that they got me too. My hats off to them. Bottom line is that they are going to pull some serious gate with family oriented stuff, especially with free 3-5 year old entry. People that would not have normally gone will go next year. Pairing the free pass with new family rides will be a hit. Family FTW; look how they cram into parks for holiday events, no matter the temp. They still have I305, and my personal favorite: Volcano. Though, I still would ride everything, I actually could take a pass on most everything else. -

We simply cannot tolerate any more of your insanely stupid posts. Banned for being one of the biggest idiots we've ever had on TPR. Thank you Larry and Robb for banning him. This thread was nothing but a nightmare with him here. Hey with him gone Bill should be coming back now. I'm willing to bet that he's going to try and create another account. Is anyone else willing to bet this? That would be a bad bet. You know he has already started another profile. -

When we did the coaster race on Tuesday, it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes with little to no lines. Two rides were 15 minute waits. Sunday crowds will be a bit worse, but if you start early you'll be OK. May want to try Superman with and without VR. Couple re-rides on Wild One, JJ, and Roar. Save Apocalypse for last; press your head against the right shoulder restraint. No matter the turn, your head shouldn't reach the left one I've found. Mind Eraser: sit in front 2 for less head banging. Roar: stay out of the back! I'm one who likes the Fireball. I would ride that a couple of times too.

This is a perfect example of why so many people hate dealing with Americans: ME ME ME ME ME. Waahhh. You're going to lose MY business!!! (which is BS most of the time probably including this time) God forbid an amusement park is going to build something that other people are going to enjoy instead of you. What makes it even funnier is that it was extremely obvious Planet Snoopy was coming based off the teasers Lol,..you are right as far as the losing my business part. I'll say this. You say "so many" people hate dealing with Americans? Yeah until money comes into play. Then all you hear is, hey my friend come to my business. Me, Me, Me? My, My, My money. -

Exactly. No more to be said relating to the issue. -

Fixed. Yup. Anything to do with kids will always pull more loot. I usually skip Kings Dominion in 2 year increments, but might go next year since my soon to be 4 year old can get in free. -

I understand that this isn't the time or the thread for rational thinking but personally KD might still be my favorite park in the chain after Cedar Point. I prefer it to Ki, Knotts, Carowinds, Dorney and Wonderland for sure. KI might have a better coaster lineup (debatable) but KD has much nicer atmosphere, great flats and a spectacular log flume. Anyway go back to your relentless bitching. we loved it when we visited last year, and they have a really great woodie in Woodstock Express (that many folks skip, since it's a junior coaster) Even after visiting BGW, we still very much enjoyed this park (other than Hurler, of course, which beat the crappola out of us). but any park with such a great kids section, as well as the Tower, Volcano, Intimidator, that amazing Drop Tower, and a really decent bobsleds? I just don't get the complaining. but oh well. . most of those complaining seem rather young, so maybe they will learn to appreciate what they have instead of bitching about what they wish they had. Hey, if you pay money you have the right to complain, or just take your money somewhere else. It's America. You can bellyache as much as you want..lol.. I understand people being a little salty. Forget the teasers and what not, a certain anticipation was built up when they decided to have the event. If they didn't have it, and they kind of just announced something new, then it wouldn't be too bad. Sure, complaining would have taken place (like just about with'any' new addition), but folks would've gotten over it. Ride on! -

Fantastic addition? No it is not. If their kid area was no good, then it would be fantastic, but it's already good. I hope SFA gets something real good to make it worse..lol..,but we all know that it will not. -

More than enough. Maybe people were asking for more. This is all pretty funny. I'd like to know more about Hurler though. -

WTH? Well, the teaser did have Snoopy in it. I'd be pretty salty about this personally. Too much hoopla for this type of upgrade. -

I agree. This kind of announcement (the way that their doing) warrants something big. -
