Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hello there, I finally got around to downloading my pictures from my recent (very bad ending) trip to Maryland. Here are the KD photo's, the random MD & Hershey Park photo's will be up shortly. On we go! After first entering the park. Dominator with its three car pile-up. Sad. That famous loop. This ride was intense from start to finish, it was also my first floorless, which scared me to be honest with you, I actually was filled with butterflies instead of excitement. It was well worth it!! Loop-d-Loop! Beserker, hurts my male parts. Drop=scary! Now, i've ridden Kumba & it either takes the cobra roll WAY too fast or it just wasn't designed the same as Dominator because I felt two huge pops of air going in and out of it. Nonetheless, I liked it. My flash was on, but didn't realize it until it was too late, thus the train halfway out of the picture. I noticed on the ending part there's a lot of unused flanges, I have a better picture, but does anyone know why this is? MMMMmmmmm. Fun pre-lift-EXTRAVOGANZA! Again, unaware of the flash. Intenseness. Hey, it must be a word, it doesn't say to fix it. Creeper! I like being artsy with these, I find fun it it. OMG, so freaking fast my face hurt after. Optical illussion. Fun, but not worth waiting in a hour and a half like in 90* weather. The launch was a good surprise, although I knew it was coming. I love the intesity. Also, aren't the rolls suppose to be 0-g's, or am i mislead, beacuse I was thrown to the side going through each of them. Oh fun! Not very many photo-ops on this one, no, no, no. Oh, water coaster eh? OMG. Scariest, Ride, EVER!! Seriously, I'm afraid of heights like no other. I screamed like a little school girl on christmas day the entire way down. The person next to me was laughing at me. On top of that, before boarding, I couldn't get the SFKK incident out of my head, thus scaring the S#!T out of me. Vibrates way to much. Artsy...? Better . . . ? Worse . . . ? Okay, so this thing is a win-lose ride. The ride is extremely fun & filled with airtimegasmness. The bad part, the two low turns. They shake very violently and the entrances & exits thrust you to the side, and it hurts like a major B!*@#!. Otherwise I wouldn't mind re-rides. There was an employee with a puddy knife, reaching her tiny are through a hole in the fence scraping off gum of the wall. She didn't look like she was getting anywhere. I don't even know. Again, I don't know. Another paiful coaster. The drop was cool, but after that, it's major vibrating and jerks. Woooo-hoooo! Leaving. Leaving. Leaving, still. INTENSE!! This is what I was talking about earlier. Did the forces change from the lake to the Dominion? Still leaving. We walk slow. Me likey. I wanted to get a leading lines photo with the support, but my friend's a B!%@# and yelled at me. Bye-Bye big loop. Bye-Bye KD. This is where I started getting teary. Okay, not really, but I don't get to go to parks outside of WOF very often, maybe every three years or so. Noted! My pictures always come out foggy looking & I hate it!! GASP! I would have guessed an X-Car, but we've recently found out it's an Intamin Hyper. I'm pissed I won't be riding it anytime soon. A final farewell. I hope you enjoy. Also, may I note that the way the garmin took us seemed like we were being led into a dense forest where we would discover our doom and never be able to escape. Seriously, my friend had a panic attack because she though we were in the middle of nowhere (which I found out we actually were) & I went on a screaming rampage due to her freaking out. We had to pull over and find out that if we go 1/4 of a mile down the road we're on, we take a left and we're there. After seeing the very first sign for KD, this is where it looked like a dense forest of nothing. It was a single lane strip of concrete surrounded by trees, and more trees. Anyway, I'm done, BYE!

dougstanton Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It appears like there used to be catwalks in that area while at Geauga Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpdonald Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is it just me or aren't shoes requirements on most rides? Whats with the bare feet on the floorless coaster? Good TR though. I want to get to the east coast soon to do all those amazing coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Most inverted and feet-dangle rides require the removal of sandles... At Dominator when it was at GL we never forced anybody to wear shoes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 ^^^^There were catwalks along the ride's track when Dominator was still a part of Geauga Lake. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with Ohio's safety policies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Is it just me or aren't shoes requirements on most rides? Whats with the bare feet on the floorless coaster? Nope. You can take your sandals off on rides at KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalize Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Those empty supports held cat walks that were over the water at GL, now that they're over dry land they didn't put them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPCrazy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Great pics! I need to get back to that park again. I think their Wild Mouse was one of the best (an excellent first drop and quite lengthy) and surpassed Hershey's. Seems like Cedar Fair has been doing a great job with the place since I last went in 2004. I can't wait to compare King's Island now when I go next month as to when I last went under Paramount's ownership ten years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Good TR...enjoyed reading. I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is Dominator's loop painted a different color than the rest of the ride is? It looks really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
