robbalvey Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 ^ Yeah, I can tell you with great certainty (as much as I love it), Volcano is not the most popular ride at Kings Dominion. It just appears that way because it always has an insanely long line...due to low capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think the most exciting part of the ride looks like it might be that climb up the Mountain and then the hairpin into the tunnel. I hope in a few years the trees will grow in and add in an extra thrill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 What is everyone's take on Tim Burkhart? Is he anywhere near as beloved as Jay Thomas? Â Considering the high turnover rate with the people in his department (they jump ship for other parks/better companies as quickly as possible), I'm guessing he is not very well liked...

jray21 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) ADMIN EDITLINK PULLED DUE TO ILLEGAL POV VIDEOS ON THIS CHANNEL Nice.. So it seems like it could get completed pretty quickly  It definitely COULD be completed relatively quick, but it is SFMM! Glad to see it finally go vertical, though.

JJLehto Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 LOL So there's more than just an empty dirt space now! Â You guys weren't kidding...all the other 2013 rides either complete, or making great progress and here track has finally started to be placed.... oh six flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Photos from March 2, 2013 floating crane double crane action track head chopping and possible hand loss approved, it adds to the thril twisty track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Did the Gatekeeper crew head to SFMM? Looking good! And know we know about the "Yolo" advertisement, you get your hands chopped off while going into the tunnel YOLO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Nice to see some progress! That dive looks like it will be intense! Â Â Argggg that little missing patch on the bottom of the S is going to give me OCD fits until they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I actually like the color scheme, and I didn't in the video. No stupid Magenta or lime mixed with red. Sometimes simple is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I actually like the color scheme, and I didn't in the video. No stupid Magenta or lime mixed with red. Sometimes simple is better. Â When did you see Magenta or anything in the video? I've seen a couple people say they were surprised it was white track/black supports and not other colors, and i'm pretty sure it looked white to me in the promo videos.

coasterfreak101 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Did the Gatekeeper crew head to SFMM? Looking good! Â Honestly, they probably got some of the iRat crew. I remember someone saying before that Six Flags uses the same construction teams across the country for the big stuff, so their projects are stacked in how they're scheduled. Just a thought!

thrillseeker4552 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You know, ever since Full Throttle was announced, people have complained about it for several reasons, but now that vertical construction has started and track has been installed, I think it will be a pretty awesome coaster! Simple yet unique at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
