Kings Dominion TR

[Thelegendarymatthew]

Hey guys, Matt here with yet another Kings Dominion Trip Report!

I will have pictures, whenever I find the cord to upload the pictures from my camera.

Anyways on with the Trip report!

We (me, my brother, my sister, mom, and baby brother) left for Kings Dominion at 3:00, arriving at 3:30. When we got into the park, I ran off with my sister to the Rebel Yell. Of course she didn’t want to ride, because she was afraid of the first drop. The ride was enjoyable like always, and I got to see the construction for Intimidator. After that I tried getting her on all the rides, but she wanted to ride all the things that wouldn’t open until Haunt. I got her on the Eiffel tower, and then we went back to my mom.

On our way back to mom, we found a bubble generator which my sister couldn’t resist. She played in the bubbles for about 10mins, and then we left to find our mom. We all got some food, and started to go into kids vile. My younger brother was able to start his credit count today, by gaining his first credit! He rode Taxi Jam today, as well as the kiddy swing ride they have there. Then we were going to start to leave because Emily didn’t want to be there (This is why we had to leave CP early too)

Thankfully my Mom let me stay with my other brother (Gabe) for a few more hours, while she went to a shopping area nearby. The first thing we did was head to a show called “The graveyard shift”. I thought it was going to be a comedy, but it turned out to be a musical. I think the actors did a pretty good job, and if they do the show next year. You should check it out if your into this kind of stuff.

After we saw the show, we headed to Grizzly. The ride was running 2 trains, which made dispatches go faster. The ride ran pretty smooth (except for the tunnel). Giving off air-time on every ride! After this, we headed to Rebel Yell again, while watching the sun fall down. We got the back seat of Rebel Yell, and the ride stopped at the top. It took us 30mins to get back down, because my brother didn’t want to walk down. We then headed over to the Congo, while trying to avoid the clowns. (I hate clowns just to let you know).

I rode anaconda with a monster. (Yes, some of the monsters where in the lines!), and I had a great night ride on Anaconda. It also gave one of its better rides this year. After this, we walked around the Congo, and we saw the coolest costume there. I was out of battery, when I saw this costume, but it was awesome! It was about 10ft tall, and the guy was holding giant claws. It was the coolest costume I saw there. If anyone is going on the 31st, can you get a picture of this guy? He should not be hard to miss

Also, while wandering in the Congo, I saw some kids picking on one of the scareactors. This made me angry! Ok, if you’re going to the Haunt, just to make fun of the actors who are doing their thing. Then don’t go! Kings Dominion did a very good job at making their Halloween event as scary as possible. Now, I’m not saying you need to go to the Haunt. (I went for the line-less night rides!), but if you do go and do the mazes and stuff. Then at least give some respect to the actors. [/rant]

After this, I headed back to Rebel Yell (which was working again), and grabbed the front seat. It took us 30mins to get on there, but its worth it for the best night ride in the park! I recommend anyone to do this! Then, we headed out to the parking lot, to meet out mom, and left.
