coasterbill Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) ^ Love it! You never disappoint. Subscribed. Catch you guys at Millennium Force this summer? You know I can't say no to that. Awesome meeting you this weekend at the Official Apple Zapple party. Edited March 29, 2018 by coasterbill
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Oh man, that was fun. Thanks for making that! Looks like you and Ryan and Ryan and Ryan all had a great time.
boldikus Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 So that awesome off ride video I posted a few days ago? Made by a dude named Zach Clarke. (If you are on here biggup!) He also has a flickr featuring his photography and got a bunch of really great opening day shots of us (and others). More HERE Bill & Britt down the first drop Back of my head row one left w/ my bud Imri Josh aka JRice92 + friend
bluestreak Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Does anybody know anything about the Days Inn right by the park? Reviews are less than stellar but all I'm really worried about is how clean the room is.
boldikus Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 ^^ I'll tell you where NOT to stay - the Econo Lodge in Ruther Glen!
bluestreak Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Lol econo lodges aren't even considered by us when trip planning. Yuck.
Nitro1118 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Does anybody know anything about the Days Inn right by the park? Reviews are less than stellar but all I'm really worried about is how clean the room is. I was not a fan. It wasn't completely terrible but I would personally spend a few extra bucks and stay at the La Quinta right next door.
JRice92 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I got lucky, that was my only ride in the front row that day and he caught it!
boldikus Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Lol econo lodges aren't even considered by us when trip planning. Yuck. But a Days Inn is OK? I'm not a hotel snob since on a park trip I'm out all day and only sleeping and showering there. We also stayed at the Econo Lodge in Williamsburg and it was quite nice for the price - aesthetically exactly the same but Ruther Glen was an absolutely dumpster fire in every possible way.
bluestreak Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Well, this one is a new construction apparently so we had high hopes lol. We ended up going with a quality in like an exit away from the park that is legit brand new.
boldikus Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 How crowded Kings Dominion would be tomorrow? I am going there for a half of day.
CoasterAuditor Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 ^ I would assume not very crowded. It's a work day in March I know spring break is about to begin but I just don't see it being very busy tomorrow. Ride Volcano first and you'l be fine.
prozach626 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 How crowded Kings Dominion would be tomorrow? I am going there for a half of day. I would guess that the majority of patrons will be school groups. Uhg...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 The ones that will actually be in school. Even a lot of public schools close on Good Friday just because attendance will be low.
prozach626 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) ^True. Didn't think about that, since I'm working all weekend. (Don't say it, damn you...) On a side note, the Kings parks are freaking awesome. Someone said before 'Cedar who?' and I tend to agree with them TO AN EXTENT. Being able to take full advantage of FL+ with well rounded collections of rides makes these larger, but non-giant, parks more enjoyable. Cedar Point is a phenomenal park, but it's almost a bit overwhelming for my wife and I. We end up bouncing back and forth from the really good rides, and we ignore the good rides... Toss in Carowinds and CF has a fantastic set of parks. I have yet to go to Canada's Wonderland to comment on that park, but I think we're going to head there next summer.

CoasterAuditor Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I'm gonna swing by tomorrow night to take another crack at TT while wearing gym clothes. Gonna try to suck in my waist as much as I can when they bring that god forsaken lap bar down hoping it can hit my thighs.
CoasterAuditor Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 So no go for TT however I enjoyed myself plenty. Rode Racer 75, Grizzly, Backlot, Avalanche, Anaconda, Flight of Fear, and then I capped off the night with a 10 ride Intimidator 305 marathon all night rides. It was glorious. Then some Panda Express on the way out. Dominator unfortunately was closed but I checked the test seat and I think I’d be fine in the larger seats and regular seats maybe if somebody pushed down on it. Really wish I rode Apple Zapple. I think I may head to Busch Gardens Sunday since I haven’t been in 6 years and I just set up a membership. Based off how the above coasters went I like my chances for most of their coasters.
CedarFlags Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Great commercial. Can I just say something....? I cannot stand when people use the phrase "gravity defying" to describe coasters. Gravity is literally the reason roller coasters work. They don't defy gravity, they are powered by it. Okay, nerding complete.
prozach626 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 ^Hah. I suppose everyone has their triggers. Great commercial. That commercial did a good job emphasizing an all new experience for those who might think the conversion was some sort of gimmick.
