Tee1999 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm seriously gonna die of laughter if we get another up-charge attraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furious325 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 All the nearest parks are family parks SFA, Hershey park and KD. Like if KD get like a flyer or dive coaster it would be awesome but getting this flat rides not helping. But if Hershey gets one more good ride it's going to beat the closer parks  According to sources that shall remain anonymous, Kings Dominion is considering a wingrider in 2017... Maybe that will come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeansproutMidget Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Eh, a wing rider isn't too bad. To be honest, I'll be surprised if we get another coaster in 2017. Â If we do get a Slingshot, we better lose another upcharge attraction. I can't stand upcharge attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I would say a Screamin' Swing would be my first choice, but seeing how CP has had problems with it lately, probably not. And if it is anything like the Knott's version there might be an extra fee. Nevertheless, I'd still love to see one at KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand upcharge attractions.  Yea like why I gotta pay to get in the park and gotta pay for a ride never understood Well, let's see. Let's pretend it's free. They can get 2 people every 10 minutes onto the ride. That's 12 people an hour, or 144 people during a 12 hour day. Total. Coasters can get up to 1,500 people PER HOUR. So, 30 minutes after the park opens, they have to close the Sling Shot line because the people in the end of that line will be in that line for the entire 12 hours they are at the park. But hey, at least they got Sling Shot for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee1999 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Has anyone ever heard of a park having 2 up-charged attractions though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUFanChris Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Has anyone ever heard of a park having 2 up-charged attractions though? Carowinds had two (Skycoaster and Go Carts) and still have two (Skycoaster and Sling Shot). Â EDIT: Carowinds actually has 4 if we include the mini golf and the laser maze.

coneyislandchris Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If we want to get technical about it, Luna Park at Coney Island has six upcharge attractions that aren't included in the price of an unlimited ride wristband; Â B&B Carousell - $3 Coney Island Cyclone coaster - $9 Thunderbolt coaster - $10 Coney Island Raceway go-karts - $10/driver, $5/passenger Zenobio - $12 Slingshot - $22 Â ...that's New York for ya.

Tee1999 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah I don't go out of state that much so of course I wouldn't know lol. Also I never once visited the go karts either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^^ Ten bucks to ride Thunderbolt? You would be better off just walking in the city and having a hobo kick you in the nuts for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that's not really a fair comparison because parks like Coney Island offer a variety of different ticketing schemes. I think the discussion was based on parks that have a single POP admission plan and then upcharge attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Oh, absolutely, and I don't disagree that it's not a 100% fair comparison to other parks that have a single POP for entry. Just getting annoyingly technical for the sake of playing devil's advocate. It kills me that there aren't any POP wristbands that actually include the coasters... or last for more than four hours of a given day. But like I said, that's New York for ya.

coasterbill Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 And if it is anything like the Knott's version there might be an extra fee.  Or if it IS the Knotts Version... From the Knotts press release...  Screamin’ Swing will permanently close on September 8 in preparation for Ghost Town’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2016.  Of course I immediately thought of Dorney but they already have one.

They already whine about getting the relocated (but yet amazing) Dominator, so now they could whine about getting a relocated (but yet still very fun) Screaming Swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I doubt it will be a slingshot, they might get one but the announcement most likely won't be for that. I don't think CP for Gemini midway or Carowinds for Fury really announced their SlingShot additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
