I guess it's best if that happens. I would love to see them fix problems before adding bigger things. I hope they do both the water and dry park improvements.

I'm so confused what's going on

OMG what if for 2015 they put in one of those s&s spinner prototypes (does anyone know what I'm talking about REMEBER when theme park review posted that video of that place in Utah where it was snowing and it was almost like a zacspin?) because it's a straight line and idrk just throwing that out there.

http://www.screamscape.com/html/kings_dominion.htm I just made a very feminine noise.

I've done this so many times.

OMG I DO THIS ALL THE TIME IF THERES A SONG I REALLY LIKE I PICTURE IT ON A ROLLER COASTER OMG ITS NOT JUST ME

Sounds like a plan to me.

Keep in mind that Cedar Fair is trying to "right size" parks they feel are too small for the markets they serve. The park chain is accelerating development at Carowinds, Valley Fair, and California's Great America. At least for Carowinds, that timeframe is 3 years. What might take 5-6 years at a "normal development pace", is being ramped up to just 3 years. It's a business decision that Cedar Fair hopes will bring in greater income for the chain. Who knows if Cedar Fair was bluffing the Charlotte metro government leaders into giving them some business incentives in order to carry out the expansion at Carowinds. I believe I saw a Charlotte news article interview a Hanover County, VA official (where KD is located), about Cedar Fair's presentation to the Charlotte metro officials. He stated he did not know what Cedar Fair had presented to the Charlotte government and that Cedar Fair officials had not approached the Hanover county officials concerning the potential Carowinds expansion plans. If Cedar Fair feels Carowinds needs the accelerated expansion, then good for them. I don't think Cedar Fair is ignoring Kings Dominion. Heck, for an "off year" for attractions, KD received way more general capital improvements than any previous season that I can remember. Several things are still a future work in progress (volcano renovations, carousel restoration, paving blocks in the pathways, landscaping, etc). I don't see a coaster in 2015 for Kings Dominion. My top guess is that the Water Park will get a makeover and expansion for 2015. Cedar Fair has been chugging along with water park renovations and expansions in the chain over the last 3-4 seasons. Worlds of Fun last year, Dorney Park 2 years in a row, Carowinds this year (and 2 years ago), Kings Island in 2012. If not the water park; then, I see the 40th anniversary celebration continuing with the addition of 2-3 flat rides and maybe the return of some sort of in-park transportation system (steam train or sky ride cable cars). The dark horse could be a Guardian style ride. I don't expect a coaster for Kings Dominion until the 2016-2017 seasons. I never go to any water parks (lines, ROLLER COASTERS) but I will say that the kd water park needs a HUGE revamp cause it's a sad lil thing right now. The only slide I like is the zoom flume. I would also like to see more flat rides and/or a transport, but would that be a lot more maintenance then they really need?

Ayyyyyyyy turn up

They dispatch cars at regular intervals so it's always less than 10 mins.

We did this too, last August. Killer night ride. It's fun when you go through the camera because it flashes so brightly in the darkness.

I wonder if attendance will drop if they keep adding small things every year.

I do like rebel yell. Good airtime. Dominator honestly i'm not a fan of. Grizzly is ok. Flight of fear is good, I guess. Nothing to shout at. I do love the drop tower though. I don't really like rebel yell much, I absolutely love dominator. I hate grizzly. And fof is awesome.

Ok, yes. Can I have the floor please? So I was checking up on a screamscape update and if you scroll to the part where it says "future expansions" it says that over the next three years carowinds is going to pour over $50 million into the park. (Link: http://www.screamscape.com/html/carowinds.htm ) and so if I'm correct, a while ago they were given the choice to either pour that $50 million into carowinds or kings dominion. So I just realized.....when the time and money runs out at carowinds in 2016.......what's going to happen to kd after that? is it going to suddenly turn into super crazy fun land?!?!!?!

Old va is just kinda bland right now.

When I went we had a nighttime ac marathon. We rode it like 18 times until the park closed.

I hate grizzly it's rough and not fun I would love to see a b&m hyper go there like intimidator at carowinds or behemoth at Canada's wonderland. That's really what they need. At least hurler is accessible, and has some good airtime. Grizzly just hurts. And it's really slow on the turnarounds. And if kd is only getting either a water park revamp or a flat ride package I'm not coming unless they're REALLY SUPERB. cause you know with all this speculation about bg that they're going to have something better then whatever kd is going to build unless kd builds a GOOD coaster. Kd hasn't gotten a coaster in 5 YEARS and it's really sad.

Yes, u r right. I saw 5

I love backlot it's a really good reride coaster. And it's like a stepping stone up to volcano and flight of fear.

Yes PLZ thank you

Dale is probably the best ride op I have ever had. He does a routine during long lines where he tells jokes.He's awesome! Is that the old guy that does the voice? Cause if so, he's cool.

Agreed. Shockwave is better than both, Vortex @ CGA and Mantis. I'm a CP fanboy but Mantis is crap. I like the restraints much better on all b&m coasters because u don't have to mess around with a lot of buckles and stuff so, yeah. It's just get in, stand up, pull down the restraint, buckle in, and go.

I rode apocalypse at sfa and I liked it much better then shockwave.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAHS
