madmax Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 One thing I'm really happy about is that the food is getting an upgrade here. The food at Carowinds is on a near-Dollywood level IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee1999 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If hurler got rmc'd i would like the name to rather be iron hurler... it would have about 10 inversions and would live to its "hurler" name of course all of this is highly unlikely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If CF keeps going with B&M, I can definitely see a Wing coaster popping up at KD. Easily marketable as there is nothing else like in in the park or region. They are, in my opinion, the perfect balance of high-thrills & great overall experience, and easily give the average park-goer one of their favorite rides of the day. I don't see any other large scale coasters out there on the market that can capture such a wide demograph, and still match each ones preferences. Just all around fun & solid coaster for anyone looking for a thrill, but not be made sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when they come for the coaster, they'll also experience the improvement Kings Dominion has made since I305 and will be more likely to come back.

While I do think a wingrider would be a great fit, I think a hyper coaster is another choice that would be better IMO. B&M hyper coasters balance thrill and ride experience, it's something both enthusiasts (the ones who don't whine about B&M's being forceless anyway) and the GP can enjoy. They are immensely popular, and would give KD a great airtime machine. Plus, it's sister park KI and CW have one, so I don't see why they can't add one here. And to say that it wouldn't make sense because I305 is taller is nonsense. CP has MF and now Valravn. (I'm aware the scenario is different because of the time span and the marketing of the dive coaster, but they're essentially similar when looking at the fundamentals). The only thing I'd be concerned about is BGW having one so nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD should offer guests attractions that can't be found at BGW if they're trying to compete for visitors. There is still the flying coaster concept too.

KD Golden Years Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 They're broke already?!? No. They play every 15 minutes as they did decades ago. It's that most people miss them while they walk by and don't stick around within that 15 mintues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is the invert, dive, and hyper are B&M's best coaster types. And they are B&M's most forceless coaster types. I rode Wild Eagle, and that was very intense for a B&M coaster. I would LOVE to see a wing coaster come to Kings Dominion. Also, there's already a dive and a hyper over at BGW, so I don't think that would be the best choice for the park. I think an invert would be pretty awesome, as long as it isn't forceless! I can definitely see a wing coaster or an invert as KD's next coaster.

Coaster Hero Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 ^Maybe the dive, arguably the hyper, definitely not the invert. Especially considering Stengel's older designs, the invert is by far the most intense B&M coaster type. Also, most of the wingriders aren't very intense either. Especially with roll transitions, they have to be very slow to accommodate the trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 With BGW so close by, the only B&Ms that would make sense at KD are a wing or a flyer. The best thing they could do would be to step outside the B&M bubble and get something from S&S, Premier, Mack, Gerstlauer, RMC etc; After riding Hurler, I beggggg them to please let RMC do something with it. I'm sure they wont though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
