Propeller Factory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I really want to say it's going to either be a b&m hyper like between grizzly and hurler, that area, or OH they could remove the go karts and dinosaurs alive and put it there, with it making a left turn L-shape thing going past grizzly and hurler going over the waterpark and back. That would be awesome. I would also love a wing coaster over the entrance no doubt. A coverage roll on a wing coaster would be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 A new entrance and repaving the god-awful parking lot would be awesome. Dominator looks great up front already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propeller Factory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 See, now I really want that 230 ft shambala type coaster behind grizzly and hurler. I've always wanted to ride shambala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why would you want a B&M hyper when the park already has an Intamin giga? It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckInSD Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why would you want a B&M hyper when the park already has an Intamin giga? It makes no sense. Â It doesn't make sense for Carowinds to have two B&M hypers in the same park, but they'er doing it anyways. Â Plus, why not have the best of both worlds?

Propeller Factory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It's because the park doesn't have like an out and back coaster filled with a lot of airtime. I305 is really super intense too, and so you might need something a bit shorter, like in the 200-250 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Why would you want a B&M hyper when the park already has an Intamin giga? It makes no sense. ignoring the height, they're both completely different ride experiences, and they'd both be amazing rides. They'd compliment eachother. It makes a lot of sense. Will it happen though? Probably not, but I wish it would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propeller Factory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What will happen if it doesn't? What other things could kd put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Maybe a flyer/Wing rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^I do often wonder why there aren't more flyers around. Everyone (mostly GP) is hysterical about the "flying sensation" on wing coasters but it's the flyers that actually deliver it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Boy a good flyer would be great, maybe a prezel loop out over/near the entrance One can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 a flyer at KD would be a dream come true. I would love that almost more than a hyper, cuz we got a hyper at BGW. And there isn't a B&M flyer till you get to SFOG or SFGAdv. So a flyer would be epic, a hyper would be epic, and I would be fine with a wing, as long as it has a wing over drop and a near miss.

rcjp Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^I actually would like to see a wing coaster with a swooping drop. Especially now that B&M has these new "pre-dropless" ones which seem to give a bit of a snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike541x Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How about a launched B&M wingrider like Thunderbird? It would help their title of "launch coaster capital" since Hypersonic is gone, if KD still cares for that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 ^ And what about, instead, a launched flyer? Wishful thinking! a flyer at KD would be a dream come true.

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I recall reading somewhere the Matt Ouimet isn't a fan of flying coasters and that he won't be adding any new ones to any of his parks, but you never know. Â Could anyone else back this up, or am I just making stuff up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronYee Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Kings dominion never received a large attraction in way too many years, yeah 40th anniversary was pretty big but a new roller coaster would be great (how about taking out the hurler? ) b&m flyer would be amazing for KD but another launched coaster i don't see happening, heading down to kings dominion next year!

Â Honestly, take the pretzel loop out, and flyers are rather boring. Wing Riders are more thrilling, and you don't spend 5 minutes face down in the brake run, trying to keep the pretzel you just ate from coming back up.

Propeller Factory Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I actually like hurler better than grizzly because grizzly is just really slow paced, and hurler has more airtime and a better layout. So if I had to choose, I would take out grizzly. Also grizzly has really become hidden because of DA. So I say if they built a hyper, they should make the go kart area a plaza connecting grizzly with the rest of the world again, and also take out DA. Inthink that would also open up that area a lot.

It's just the position it's in it's really awkward in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cedar Fair seems to like to add one big B&M every year. Behemoth, Diamondback, Intimidator, Leviathan, GateKeeper, Banshee, and Fury 325. I bet that Valleyfair will get the next B&M in 2016, so I probably wouldn't expect a new coaster for KD until 2017. That is, assuming they go with B&M. Wait, of course they will! Â My guess would be a Wing coaster of Floorless. Doubt they would add a Hyper, since it would get overshadowed by I305.
