Intimidator305 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 ^ Typically Haunt is only the last few Sundays of the season. This year they've expanded it to only cutting one weekend short. Anyways, the new official Haunt website is here: http://www.kingsdominion.com/haunt2012 New for 2012! Maze: No Vacancy in the left side of the Action Theater. The guest rooms have been prepared and the staff is eagerly awaiting your arrival. Welcome to the Inn at Darkside Manor! Enjoy the best of yesteryear and take a break from the hectic pace of today. Enjoy a cocktail in the Gentlemen's Lounge or sit back and enjoy a classic in our impressive Library. Just be warned – once you check in... you will never check out. Scare Zone: PrimEvil: The Kuru Curse in The Congo. Set in a distant jungle, the inhabitants here have lived with one rule... eat or be eaten. In this cannibalism filled land you will get a chance to explore this long forgotten cursed village. Watch your step and steer clear of the locals – their idea of a great meal will be your living nightmare... Scare Zone: Cleaver Brothers Carnival in The Grove. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls you have seen the rest now step right up and experience the best. The Cleaver Brothers have set up their midway and invite you to experience a carnival like no other. Enter a world where the extraordinary comes to life and your worst nightmares will seem like a pleasant dream. Show: Haunted House in the right side of the Action Theater. You followed the cat into the house. No need to be nervous, everything looks perfectly normal. But wait, did those toys actually move? Did something just brush past you? As the hair on the back of your neck stands up and a chill runs down your spine, you suddenly realize that things are not quite right in this house; this haunted house. So what's gone? The Asylum (because of the Dinosaurs Alive DinoStore), The Ruins (replaced by PrimEvil: The Kuru Curse), CarnEvil (replaced by Cleaver Brothers Carnival), and Elvira's Superstition (replaced by No Vacancy/Haunted House).

palmerleeberry Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 ^At least they kept CLUB BLOOD, the nightclub where people are dying to get in. Coaster_Fanatic replied after my post: ^The announcement is actually on September 12th...so it has come sooner than what you expected And I will say "Oh Goody; it's coming one day early. I won't have to wait that long!" "And I'm glad as well, at least he'll be able to sleep better at night once that announcement has been made!"

Intimidator305 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This new tweet now has me thinking this might be more than just a Planet Snoopy upgrade/renovation... 1 day til launch! Tell us -- what does the word "thrilling" mean to you? Less than 24 hours to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I dunno, my gut still says this will be an upgrade to Planet Snoopy. Could they be combining the "Kidzville" area with the current Planet Snoopy to make one mega Planet Snoopy? (with maybe a new kids' ride or two?) Just a thought. I will still tune in to see what's announced tomorrow though.....who knows, maybe KD will totally surprise me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) It says "launch" so they are obviously bringing HyperSonic back. Edited September 11, 2012 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Strata Coaster themed to Planet Snoopy. 450-foot tower enclosed in a building shaped like a rocket ship. I've seen the plans. I know. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ^^ Ahhh, maybe that's what they're doing.....bringing it back and adding it to Planet Snoopy! World's Tallest kids' coaster - HyperSnoopy XLC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfmcvs1 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Luminosity???? Wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugecoltsfan Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm going to say that Anaconda is on its way out for an Intamin launch coaster over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugecoltsfan Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ^Highly doubt it. Yeah, I know. It would be cool if it did happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have very fond memories of Anaouchmakeitstopivehadenoughconda. It's an excellent ride, really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) A mirror-image of Storm Runner modified to better fit over the lake would be an awesome replacement. The existing tunnel under the water would fit well between the top hat and inversion. Pipe dreams aside, I don't imagine Anaconda is going anywhere just yet.

Intimidator305 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have always wanted an Intamin Impulse where Anaconda's station and lifthill are. But, I'm still pretty sure KidZville is getting the boot for one large Planet Snoopy, with new rides... "Largest kids area in the Mid-Atlantic!"

Intaman Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Though I would love to see another solid roller coaster at KD (mainly to offset every coaster but I305 and Volcano), the park did install a major roller coaster just two years ago.

BrianlovesKd Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Millennium Force Was released in 2000 and Top Thrill Dragster was released in 2003. If those coasters were released 3 years apart I don't see why KD can't get a major coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbusic Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 So, does anyone know what time the announcement is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ^^^Of course, CP added MF, WT, and TTD prior to Cedar Fair's acquisition of KI, KD, etc. In any case, I love the idea of a new rollercoaster at KD. It will help erase the painful memories of rides on Shockwave, Hurler, Grizzly, and Anaconda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ^ The countdown on http://www.kingsdominion.com counts down til 11:00 AM. So by noon, I'm sure we'll know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This park is in need for a decent coaster that doesn't turn you to mush. My predictions: 1. "New" major attraction 2. kidzville --> Planet Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ^ I'm pretty sure everyone can agree with those predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was reading through this thread and this popped up - at the same time "Hero Worship" came on my iTunes. A themed area to the songs of the B-52s. There's enough to pick from, that's for sure. It's kinda funny how people are seeing Snoopy in the moon! I see cookie!

Is their countdown based on your PC clock? Counts down to 11am for me too, but that's Melbourne time (currently sitting at one hour to go), which is like 9pm Kings Dominion time?

Yes, because my PC time is set to 8:09 am and it says there is only 2 hours till the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
