ImNotOneOfYou Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 too many launch coasters. This is a thing? When your home park is Kings Dominion, anything is possible... besides thankfulness.
Intimidated305 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 too many launch coasters. This is a thing? When your home park is Kings Dominion, anything is possible... besides thankfulness. My home park is SFA, and nobody I personally know cares about what we get and when. Take one look at KD and it's a whole different story! I really want to get another season pass for KD, but I think it's all Knoebels and Hershey next year for me! While on the topic, just remember KD fans, our coaster droughts aren't as bad as Knoebels'!
coasterbill Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I think it's all Knoebels and Hershey next year for me! Smart decision on your part.. especially the Knoebels part.

Last time I went to Knoebels, I had no idea what flying turns was and I thought it was an abandoned woodie I'm really excited to go back for the first time in several years. Along with Hershey and Knoebels, I may have Dorney in there too. I've surprisingly never been to Dorney despite it's somewhat close proximity to me, so i'm excited for that too!
certifiedcoastergeek Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So after riding Manta at Seaworld San Diego yesterday, I would love to see a Mack launching coaster for KD some day. Probably not going to happen, but just my 2 cents. This coaster is incredibly underrated and definitely top-20 for me. During my San Diego/KBF trip 2 years ago, this is a close third behind Xcelerator (possibly the smoothest coaster ever IMO) and Silver Bullet (B&M inverts are hit and miss for me but this one was a HIT). But two family launcheds in one park? Unlikely. (Still keeping my fingers crossed for RMC Hurler 2017...) (GhostRider = worst. wooden. ever.)
madmax Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I think a Mack launcher has the potential to become the second best coaster in the park.
ImNotOneOfYou Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I think a Mack launcher has the potential to become the second best coaster in the park. Second best isn't good enough for KD fans. You either beat Intimidator 305 or don't try.

You either beat Intimidator 305 or don't try. Nothing is ever going to beat Intimidator 305. Not even a stratacoaster. Arguably not even Fury 325.

It may have just been my visit, but i305 wasn't too enjoyable compared to other coasters I've ridden. Yeah, it's the 2nd most intense ride I've ridden, but the restraints just kill the ride. A coaster type I would LOVE to see at this park is a wing coaster! Gatekeeper, and Wild Eagle are great rides. I've also heard Thunderbird was great as well! I think it would be a nice and thrilling ride, but not as intense as most rides at the park. (I305, Volcano, Dominator, etc.)

I thought Fury was considerably more enjoyable than i305, but I guess to each his own.
Quetzal Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Gatekeeper, and Wild Eagle are great rides. You must have a very loose definition for "great".

Probably not going to happen, but just my 2 cents. But two family launcheds in one park? Unlikely. I was thinking of something more along the lines of Blue Fire or Helix than Manta.
Virus Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Gatekeeper, and Wild Eagle are great rides. You must have a very loose definition for "great". Most coasters are "great" in a few ways, especially B&MS! I tend to enjoy most coasters, but heck, Full Throttle is my #2

This thread has been littered with posts of almost comparable nature, but in a serious manner. He's reiterating how ridiculous the tone of the posts about this park has been.
madmax Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 There's some flaw with the Golden Ticket Awards rankings. There's no way Leviathan should rank 8 spots higher than Intimidator 305.
redfoot12 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 ^Yeah. It's best not to read the GTA lists or take them too seriously. Magnum being ranked higher than I305 and Maverick is faulty

Tee1999 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Does anyone what that unused station at volcano is used for? It's gotten me a bit curious
madmax Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Does anyone what that unused station at volcano is used for? It's gotten me a bit curious No Tee1999, it's not going to be used for a TrioTech dark ride. Dual loading station possibly? (PLEEEAASSSE!!!!!)

No madmax, i wasn't implying or speculating a new ride like you do on a daily basis. It doesn't even look like a triotech would even fit there. Please don't put words in my mouth.
