megametal Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 So does this mean that there will be even less woods around The Grizzly now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synshine Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 So does this mean that there will be even less woods around The Grizzly now? Â Doubtful IMO, as I'd think they would want to keep as many trees as they could with a walk-through attraction, if not for the ambiance, certainly for guest comfort. And "near" Grizzly, doesn't necessarily mean "next to" Grizzly. Although I'm rather stumped to where they plan to put the entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Couldn't Old Virginia get a better attraction after so many years of neglect? Â I agree,I'd rather see a B&M invert over there than this & after what happened at KI with one of the dinos going up in flames I'd HATE to see that happen anywhere near grizzly.....now if it were behind hurler that'd be a different story. Â Edit:I hear rumors that the go karts may be getting the ax in 2012 so that may be where the DA entrance will be located,either that or the ED site.

bejackso Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 would have preferred a huss giant frisbee........but this will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Please oh please let this be true. Those things ruin any sort of ambiance Grizzly still has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Windseeker = meh... maybe it will open earlier than August 2012 Â Dinosaurs Alive = OH DEAR GOD NO! Â kd 2012... BLAH lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 ^Agreed...BUT. If it does get rid of the go karts, I think I'm okay with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimowalk Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 So this is the fourth former Paramount Park to install/announce a Windseeker... When's CGA's turn? Windseeker isn't noisy and it's closed for the majority of the season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin11KD Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It's going to be cool to be riding down I-95 and looking at Kings Dominion seeing 3, 300+ foot tall towers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It's going to be cool to be riding down I-95 and looking at Kings Dominion seeing 3, 300+ foot tall towers! Â I was thinking about this earlier. The windseeker, on the highway side of the park, with its' cool lighting package, will be a neat advertisement for the park.

Â Perhaps they can move the carts over by I305?It would fit over there a bit better with the whole nascar theme & all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastermaniac Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Why must Cedar Fair keep adding the same ride to their parks? Four Windseekers in one year and two the next year...it's crazy. Plus three Dinosaurs Alive! attractions in two years?! Seriously? Â Do they know what 'variety' means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRx Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 So Cedar Fair basically took Kings Island's 2011 attractions, whited out the "Island 2011" and changed it to "Dominion 2012". Does this mean that in July Kings Dominion will announce "Fast Lane"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 ^I'm hoping in July, ALL of the Cedar Fair parks announces Fast Lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus three Dinosaurs Alive! attractions in two years?! Seriously? Do they know what 'variety' means?  Let's keep in mind that the CF parks are regional parks so the locals are gonna really eat this up,I for one am REALLY looking forward to windseeker next season not only for the thrills of the ride experience but for the views of the surrounding area it will offer.  Anyone gonna be at the park tomorrow? I'll be going and can only hope that it's not gonna rain this time for a good portion of the day as I'd like toget in as many rides as possible.

coastermaniac Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 With the rides and attractions now becoming similiar (in this case congruent: Windseeker and DA!), Fast Lane is bound for all the parks (as much as I hate the concept for the Cedar Fair parks).

niiicolaaah Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well let's look at it this way... if CF keeps adding all of the same rides to every park, eventually there will be no need to pay for a platinum pass any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 LIke them or not, I think these "Fast Pass" style options are here to stay. Being as Six Flags and Busch have such systems in place, Cedar Fair needs to do this to compete. Â Will it work out for them? Time will tell.

DJeXeL Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Not to mention Cedar Fair probably got a deal to order 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
