jonskinny12 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Lagoon has some nice Cannibal shirts. Like this one?
The Great Zo Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Kings Dominon? Haha. How'd they let that slip by? How did the rest of us not notice this? (well, I guess that's how it slipped by...)

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 LOL I didn’t even notice that! How embarrassing! Reminds me of when my school misspelled my city name on my high school diploma... Is there a lack of proofreaders in the world?
CoasterAuditor Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Try having your school mispronounce your state as "Virgina" on their diplomas one year.
KIJester Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 That new Twisted Timbers drone video update on YouTube shows the track running "extremely" close to the elevator shaft or whatever that square cylindrical box is attached to the station. Looks almost as if one could literally slap the side of the building when passing that point which could be quite dangerous. Might just be an optical illusion tho, or maybe the way the drone camera is filming.

My school's yearbook misspelled the word "school"...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Try having your school mispronounce your state as "Virgina" on their diplomas one year. I'll one up you. I hear on a daily basis people mispronouncing my state as Missourah.
CoasterAuditor Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Such a nice looking ride. Gonna make for a solid 1-2 punch at KD with plenty of excellent supporting rides.
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Amazing! I have to remind myself that this is in the same park as I305.
MiningForGold Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I’m kind of disappointed there’s no shed.
cal1br3tto Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I have to remind myself that this is in the same park as I305. Right?! Legitimately had to think about it for a second when someone mentioned a one-two punch.
boldikus Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 This parks lineup is so stacked, even without an RMC. Honestly its more like a one-two-three-four punch with Volcano and Dominator in there. Both absolutely fantastic rides.
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Plus an awesome drop tower, a cool frisbee, a great flume (I've heard, didn't get a chance to ride it when I was there), flyers, etc. I really loved this park, and it is by far my favorite Cedar Fair park behind Cedar Point.
Superbatboy Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Kinda interesting how an RMC can pimp your ride line up status with a single installment.

coasterbill Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Flight of Fear is phenomenal and criminally underrated.

rcjp Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 ^^ That's amazing. Really looking forward to riding it this summer especially as I've never been on a RMC before. Also very exited about the rest of the park's lineup too.
CedarFanboy Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Major changes coming to Kings Dominion! https://www.kingsdominion.com/blog/big-changes-coming-to-candy-apple-grove
boldikus Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Whoa whoa whoa. Apple Zapple?!!! February Construction Update: Big Changes Coming to Candy Apple Grove Happy February! It’s hard to believe that in a little over a month the front gates will open for our 2018 season and the midways will be filled with our awesome guests. As you know, the talented Rocky Mountain Construction team and our own great maintenance teams have been hard at work getting Twisted Timbers ready for riders. They are working on mechanical and electrical elements of the ride now, and soon we will begin running trains for testing. IT’S ALL HAPPENING! To get ready for the debut of such a unique coaster, we are excited to let you in on some other major changes happening in Candy Apple Grove. Get ready… there’s a BIG list! We are breathing new life into that area of the park, reenergizing a section that hasn’t had much change in over a decade. Some improvements include removing asphalt and replacing it with decorative pavers, completing a major renovation of the restrooms in the Grove and adding new lighting, seating and fresh paint to certain structures. The area will also feature a new festival plaza that we will utilize during our many signature events! As part of the revitalization, two of our fan favorite roller coasters, Ricochet and Rebel Yell are getting new names and signage! Ricochet will now be “Apple Zapple,” reflective of its tight turns and location in Candy Apple Grove. Apple Zapple is receiving a new paint job and color scheme. Rebel Yell will become “Racer 75” as a nod to its 1975 entry into the park as well as giving recognition to ACE, the American Coaster Enthusiasts, (rACEr 75 – get it?!). ACE was founded in 1978 after a roller-coaster-riding event on this attraction. The new name, Racer 75, is also reflective of the design, a racer-style coaster. We will continue to replace sections of the track on this classic wooden coaster as a commitment to maintaining the iconic ride. As part of this work, riders will notice a smoother experience as they race through the course. Rock Shop, the store adjacent to Apple Zapple and Twisted Timbers, is also getting a new name and face-lift. The shop will now be “Twist & Shop” and you guessed it, will sell all that awesome TT merchandise. AND…. drum-roll please…. Dinner Bell is transforming into “The Mac Bowl” where guests can create their own gourmet mac-n-cheese bowls. YUM. All of these upgrades will certainly revive this corner of Candy Apple Grove and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it opening weekend. 2018 is going to be one for the record books! If you want to get a sneak peek of the action, make sure to get your Season Pass now so you can join us on March 23 for Passholder Preview Night!
CoasterAuditor Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Why did they rename Rebel Yell? Is it because it has Rebel in it? Also Apple Zapple???
