Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
Sythe replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Same. Not sure how this "news article" is suppose to be "funny." To me it's just . . . Stupid. Geez, get a sense of humor people! it's pretty funny to me. And who knows, maybe Kings Dominion will add this after their 900 foot Intamin launched 200mph inverted woodie! -

Best Coaster Layout
Sythe replied to DarienLaker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dominator: It's not like other floorless coasters with just inversion after inversion. It has great intense enlements, and even a Diamondback-like airtime moment after the MCBR. Vekoma SLCs: They may be rough, but the layout is actually pretty unique. The Boss: it has a pretty good layout if only it were smoother... Stormrunner: How can you not like this layout... Other than that last element. Anaconda: I actually really like Anaconda's layout, the butterfly element is unique and makes it feel like you are going faster than you really are. Plus it's a very pretty coaster! My only problem with it is that it is way too short... (And the middle part of the butterfly isn't my favorite, but it's in no way rough or anything) -

It's not the size of the RMC, it's what you do with it. Well it's more of a matter of opinion. I like bigger RMCs like New Texas Giant and Iron Rattler more than smaller ones like Wicked Cyclone and Twisted Colossus. But I also know people who think exactly the opposite. -

I'm really hoping for a b&m hyper at kd. But a launched wingrider is a really good option too, since they would become the launch capital of the world... Ughhh I am crossing my fingers so much for 2017 coaster... -
Worst Coaster Layout
Sythe replied to SingleRiderCam's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What's with all of the hate on anaconda??? Gosh people... I think it's cool that anaconda tried something different than just inversion after inversion, even if the butterfly element isn't exactly the best solution to that. I think the arrows that just have two loops, two corkscrews, and a helix have much worse layouts *cough* dragon fire and Carolina cyclone *cough* -
Okay so I'm pretty dumb so I don't understand half of the last half of what you are saying But I will answer your first question. It kind of depends on the park, like I'm not going to want to go to Six Flags America (a mediocre park) as many times as I'm going to want to go to Cedar Point (an amazing park). But also a lot of the time its just because of the new rides and experience, and to compare this ride to that one from another park. And also one park too many times can get boring, so going to other parks just gives you something different. So yeah, that's my attempt at answering your question... I know it's bad but I tried

Your First B&M Coaster?
Sythe replied to TheCoasterKid211's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dominator at Kings Dominion! It was amazing back then and it still is now! <3 -
Your 5 year plan and predictions for any park
Sythe replied to adamd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kings Dominion: 2017: B&M Hyper to replace dinosaurs alive and (hopefully) hurler 2018: Probably something planet snoopy related 2019: new shows probably 2020: I don't know lol 2021: A coaster of some sort, I'm not going to guess what because who knows who they will be working with at this point. -

I don't think I've ever seen someone come off of I305 with a lackluster reaction. I however have seen a grown man say "hell no" to riding it many times within my one wait for Anaconda. Sure enough he did not ride it, Even when offered money. Well of course, GP are scared of a lot of things... -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Sythe replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would say that it would make most sense that ki will get their next coaster in 2019. I would say this is what the next few years might look like for Cedar Fair: 2017: Possible Kings Dominion b&m hyper (also maybe along with that coaster rumored for MiA?) 2018: Canada's Wonderland b&m wingrider 2019: Kings island giga!!! 2020: cedar point probably some massive over hyped first-of-it's-kind coaster for their 150 anniversary -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
Sythe replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I visited KD I was definitely surprised at how Volcano, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Flight of Fear, and Dominator all had longer waits than i305, especially considering i305 was running one train and the rest of the rides were each running at least two. While i305 is by no means a "failure" it certainly isn't as "successful" as other rides in the chain with similar price tags (ie Diamondback, Gatekeeper, Fury, Leviathan, and Intimidator at CW) It's probably just because people can't handle riding it too many times in a row like they can with other rides but trust me, I live near the park and so many more people starting going to the park when I305 was added. -

wat? I305 is considered one of the best coasters in the world, and easily one of the best gigas. He's probably talking about the first turn incident. But even so, I do agree with you. It was a major success. -

Yeah that's probably a good idea... I was just trying to get my point across -

Sythe replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't understand all of the hate on this thread... Of course people are annoyed that Kings Dominion hasn't gotten another coaster yet! This is probably the longest KD has ever gone without getting a one! If you don't like this thread then stop reading it because you guys are being more annoying than the fanboys. -

I don't know what day of the week the 9th is, but if it is a Tuesday then basically everything will have a 5 min or less wait. -
Why doesn't everyone just buy goggles, paint them black, and put them on during any ride... Then everything is like the beast at night! XD (And btw my favorite night ride coaster is probably volcano)

Least Favorite B&M?
Sythe replied to thecoasterdude's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Before I went to sfgadv I would have said Apocolypse at SFA... But now it's definitely Green Lantern. My legs felt like they were cracking open it hurt that bad. -
How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?

I'm 17 and the first coaster over 10 feet was The Comet at Hersheypark -
Big Surprises on Coasters
Sythe replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Volcano's launches... There are so many factors that make these launches blow me away every time I ride it (like the forcefulness, the noise, and the foot chopper effects) Pretty much everything about Skyrush. Mavericks launch. El Toro's Rolling Thunder Hill. La Vibora at Six Flags Over Texas. That was way more insane than I thought it was going to be! -
Single element with the most dropped items

Most Intense Coaster You've Been On?
Sythe replied to canadianparkfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I305 for sure, also skyrush. Dominator or Titan would probably be next. -
Maverick - Add the effects back into the launch tunnel! It's not as good as it used to be... Skyrush - Amazing ride, but extremely short! If they had a little more than I would like it way more. Also if they added some fog effects that would be really cool. Intimidator 305 - This coaster would be amazing with skyrush restraints. I don't know if it is possible though. I've never felt that they crushed my legs or anything, so I would probably appreciate if they got this way more than most people. I also think it would be cool if they had an inversion instead of one of those quick transitions, like a quick flip low to the ground. It is supposed to feel like you are in a race car that is flipping in the air, and I think they could have pulled that off better with an inversion. Dominator - This is an amazing coaster, but I wish it was smoother after the MCBR... I still really love the ride since I'm not effected by headbang as much as most people, but I still think it would be way better if it were smoother. Superman the Ride (Aka Bizarro) - The restraints are really awkward, they aren't bad, but they are just weird. Also, I assume they will get rid of that obnoxious onboard audio, which will be nice.
