CPSFMMCW Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I hope they're talking about meat when they say 'carving stations' Of course, they could be refrencing the Slaughter House maze attraction for Halloween Haunt... THATS IT! Its all a trap! They're gonna kill us all! We ARE the MEAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArundelHigh Coasters Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The 40th birthday even sounds really exciting! It's also cool seeing how far Kings Dominion came in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has anyone seen any new information on Anaconda's & Volcano's upgrades/rehabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I know that the anaconda repaint is going to be the same color scheme as before, which sucks. Hopefully they will add the old water spouts that shot out when the train went under water. As for volcano, I don't know how construction is coming, but they're just reconfiguring the queue line. Probably not too much going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boughtontroy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 From KDFansite Facebook  Kings Dominion is expanding their campground for 2014 by adding 32 cabins and upgrading the RV sites. Find out more in our blog post, including the site plans! http://kdfansite.com/2014/01/kings-dominion-camp-wilderness-expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That link didn't have a lot of information on what the campsite upgrades are, but I'm real curious to find out what they are. We weren't overly impressed the last time we stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arby Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ^Fewer skunks and bears? Â I wouldn't have minded seeing a bear while I was there. Maybe it would have kept our neighbors from being up all night partying... Â My biggest issue with both KD and Carowinds campgrounds is that they charge a premium price for their sites without any premium features. We paid a big premium at the Cedar Point campground but what we got there for our premium price was: a paved, level, and well maintained site with cable TV as well as the same resort privileges as someone staying at one of the onsite hotels including early entry to the park. They also have a resort gate that is within easy walking distance of our camp site. Â I'll pay more for a paved, level site with cable TV. I do understand that the resort gate/issue is something much bigger that won't be fixed anytime soon, if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Because KD is my home park I've never been to their campgrounds. We pass them whenever we go to the park but we've never had a need to stay there since we're only 45 min away. See from my perspective, its great that they're doing that, since it benefits tourists, but for people that have the park locally, it doesn't effect us at all, so the way I see it, I would've personally preferred that they put more of their money into the actual park, instead of their campgrounds.

arby Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't blame you a bit. We usually prefer campgrounds not run by parks as they are often better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I wonder when they are going to make any more announcements about what else is gonna happen as part of their 40th. They keep on saying they have more, so I wonder when they'll announce them. Surely they have more to announce, and it wouldn't surprise me if one of them is an announcement of tem bringing back an old ride. C'mon hurry up and announce it already!

thrillrider Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Probably nothing major. Â Maybe bringing back some old games or snacks. Or they could do like what Cedar point did and have 25 cent cotton candy for there annerversery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philrad71 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 No offense to Mr. Speigel, but when I first saw him in the video still, I had to a do a double take. My first thought was "Hey, what is Rob Ford doing at Kings Dominion & did he get arrested for punching Snoopy in the face or something?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 KD has confirmed that the rebel yell will not be running backwards, however along with a new sign, they claim that other "exciting upgrades" will come to the ride. My guess? Old original color scheme and running lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
