coasterfreak101 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It seems really early to be advertising for next year? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It is. Still, don't be shocked by a dry side improvement next year too. Just when u thought all they were going to do is a water attraction, they surprise u with something else too. It would be a good misdirection.

Password121 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I really hope they splurge a little bit on next year's additions. If the rumors of a big year in 2017 are true I'd be fine with just a single addition, but until that is certain I think it's a good time to take a risk. Something like Great Adenture's 2012 additions--a waterpark addition along with a Skyscreamer/flats would round out the last few years of expansion very nicely before potentially something major in 2017.

coasterfreak101 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I didn't realize they removed the water fort/house/whatever you want to call it. I would assume we'll see a larger version put in, but I'm surprised they removed it before the waterpark even opened for the season. Definitely a staple, I think, and I think a lot of kids (myself included) are going to be sad when they get there and it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm actually surprised too. Now, no excuses that it shouldn't be ready Memorial Day next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I hope you're right. Maybe the water park addition with some dry side improvements (new trains on some coasters, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Was there not a media day for Bourbon Street Fireball? I was just curious because the other Parks that got Super Loops seemed to have really nice media day events for theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is their super loop open yet? Anyone get any photos? Just curious what the themeing/area looks like. Â It's open. I will not get mad ever again about a ride that I've never ridden. Bourbon is great! They have led lights on while it runs, even in the daylight. The only theming so far is the fire decoration on the top. If i can post photos, i will in this post. For some reason my phone is not acting right when trying to attach photos. Â You know, i just realized that i do not have a good pic of the ride. At the time, i was more excited about the paths, which I've used several times already. Path going to Mardi Path going to Gotham Path coming from Bourbon exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Oops, that last pic, was the entrance to the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nice. Just looking at the pictures, you can definitely tell that area looks more "lively". I might have to make a trip sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It definitely is. It was a good addition. I'll take more pics of the ride next time if some haven't been put up by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryp Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It really is a decent ride, and it completes that area of the park so well. And the path to Gotham was SO overdue. Now they can move on to bringing the other areas of the park up to the standard they've set in Mardi Gras. I'm excited for the future of this park.

Vonni Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I am not familiar with the layout of the Park being that I've never been there, so could somebody possibly post an aerial view pic of the Park and mark where the new ride, and path are on it? I'd really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 @Highridin Thanks for the photos, I can see it being a good fit for that area of the park. Hoping to get down there again maybe in the fall like we did last year, if only just to get some more laps on S:ROS and Wild One! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayj Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've always wondered why riddle me this has no queue line and ragin cajun, french quarter flyers, and bourbon street fireball have short queue lines with a long line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certifiedcoastergeek Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I live <5 min from Kings Dominion, and was wondering if I should invest in a day ticket to this park. It seems like it has fun coasters, but I've heard horror stories from friends and acquaintances of frequent parking-lot gang fights and muggings, and of petty theft and other crime in the park. Is this park "family-friendly (i.e. safe for families w/young kids)", or are these stories simply based upon racial bias? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park is a totally different place now. Trust me, you'll have a fun and safe time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propeller Factory Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 First of all, I would like to say that I absolutely hate those 5 ft fences that they put all over the park. Just ew they look too big, out of place, and at least make them prettier. Second of all go to the park. It's a nice experience. The coasters r nothing special but they're cool. You'll enjoy yourself.
