Sounds like they already have that ride. It's called Backlot Stunt Coaster. I mean taller and possibly with an inversion. Cheetah Hunt is classified as a family coaster. Please, anything but a Vekoma Junior Invert. The one at Carowinds is painful as all hell. -

Who knows? Maybe Kings Dominion will shock the world by announcing an Intamin. I wouldn't mind something like Xcelerator to replace Hypersonic I don't mind the Vekoma family suspendeds. Maybe a new family coaster is on the slate for KD within the next 5 years. Who knows? I'd also like to hear more about Vekoma supposedly no longer making coasters in the US. Guys, no. Vekoma is not known for producing quality rides. The family coaster I would want is a launcher like Verbolten or Firechaser Express. -

Because they made the rides so close together. Yet, walking sometimes feels like a hassle It's not nearly as bad as Busch Gardens, where it takes FOREVER to get to rides. -

You know what I just found out? Kings Dominion sits on a much larger plot of land than most other parks do, yet for some reason it feels compact. -

I know how much we all want a coaster at KD man but complaining isn't gonna get them to listen to us. Just be patient. We already have one of the best ride in the world and that tells you we're not as neglected as you think. 2017 or 2018 is the year, just enjoy the awesome rides for now. How am I complaining? I'm just giving out a possibility. -

Now that I think of it a B&M Hyper is actually pretty family friendly. Yes, it's huge, but it's not very intense. Imagine something like Diamondback in the woods. Hopefully the height restriction would be down to 52 inches. -

It's forceless; or, to be more precise, "Not as good as I-305." Unless KD is planning on building another fast & constantly low-to-the ground coaster, with quick-directional changes, prepare for masses of complaints. Basically, anything that isn't an Intamin giga...err Intimidator 305 will be sh*tted on by KD fanboys. "B&M Giga coaster 1 doesn't have enough quick directional changes for me." "B&M Wing Coaster 1 isn't Intimidator 305 enough for me!" "Intamin rocket coaster 1 has 300 moments of floater, but only 1 moment of ejector. Such a waste!" We need a nice floaty B&M to balance out the intensity of I305. -

The ride is immediately hit with negative views because it didn't live up to the hype coasterboy2194210 had set when he heard from his friend's uncle that it was going to be a 900 foot prototype." -

I wonder what the first complaint will be when the next coaster is announced. -

Under 48 inch rides are a dying breed, unless it's a boring kiddie coaster. -

Here's their collection of 48 in or lower coasters: Woodstock, Backlot, Hurler, Grizzly, Avalanche, Rebel Yell, Riccochet, Anaconda, Pumpkin Coaster. Not to mention the numerous family friendly rides there, or the massive Planet Snoopy. Kings Dominion has enough in the kid/young family category. -

Dude . . . the park has 2 kiddie coasters, at best, out of 13 coasters. I don't know what beemers you're riding but most are what, a 54 inch height requirement? Also, if you feel they have enough kiddie coasters, someone can argue they have enought adult coasters as well . . . Why would they need more than 2 kiddie coasters? Most parks have no more than 2. Also someone posted that the park is interested in bringing in a B&M and even an Intamin so don't expect a kiddie coaster anytime soon. -

He's a coaster fan like any one of us. I don't know how people could be annoyed by him. He's very professional and respects his fans and even his haters a lot. -

Rather have a B&M. Heck, Shockwave is the only thing worse than a Vekoma. Ok . . . here you go! Seriously, KD had like what? 3 true family coasters? KD has enough kiddie coasters, which is what a junior invert is. A family coaster is something like Firechaser Express or Verbolten. We need a thrilling coaster that's also family friendly. Most B&Ms cover that pretty well, unless you're talking about a giga or giant invert. -

How are they pointless? He's just giving realistic outlooks that he admits are just his thoughts. It's not like he's predicting it based off of "sources" or anything. -
