boldikus Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Completing the honey-do list? A birthday? A nice raise/promotion? A tipsy night out when its that time of the month? Saying just the right thing at the right time? Â Never does it happen after an e-fight, I can assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 So the S&S 4D track is already on site, haha. Are they going to start construction early? New for Winterfest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I am so glad to see Cedar Fair working with some new companies. First Gerstlauer with Hangtime and now S&S. And yes I remember they worked with Gerstlauer with Spinning Dragons 16 years ago but that was a totally different Cedar Fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I get that enthusiasts will be growing tired of these but they're honestly fun rides and I don't blame any regional park for buying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Excited for KD to be getting a new coaster so soon after Twisted Timbers. Like I said in the Adventureland thread these style of rides aren't my jam. But they're inexpensive, easily marketable attractions for regional parks and it'll be a unique ride in that area of the country. Its a win for KD.

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I really enjoy the Free Spins and think they are a great addition to any park. I have never understood the hate for them. Who cares if it's a clone? Â These will be great additions to Adventureland and Kings Dominion next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 ^my dislike is purely on the flipping. Which is ya know, the point of the ride lol. I just do not find it enjoyable or comfortable. Â I may also have PTSD from Green Lantern that makes me physically unable to enjoy a free spin. I've been on 3 and just haven't enjoyed them. Â That said, I still think they're a great addition to any park. I can separate my personal feelings from a parks capital expenditure and admit when something is a great addition even if I personally would not enjoy it.

Satans Hockey Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm curious to see where they put this. With volcano and the crypt gone there is so much room there in that whole area now. Â I'm a fan of these rides but I won't ever wait longer than 15-20 mins for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 This is one clone I don't mind seeing spread. I enjoy the free spins. And from a park's perspective, it's a highly marketable addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 This is one clone I don't mind seeing spread. I enjoy the free spins. And from a park's perspective, it's a highly marketable addition. Â it also depends what kind of program they are running with the flips. Â Six Flags tends to run very mild programs (with Batman at SFFT being the exception - tho I suspect it's because that was the 1st one, so the "mild" setting there likely still flips more). Â but another chain COULD run a much more extreme program - for example, Arashi at Nagashima Spaland was NUTS. . .so much flipping. Â let's hope KD goes the more extreme route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Whatever, so long as they don't remove Avalanche to put it in, it's something else to draw crowds away from Twisted Timbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 it could fit on the footprint of the Crypt (assuming thats where it's going) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 This feels like such a weird addition for this park imo but they're fun as shit so let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejackso Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'm cool with Kings Dominion getting a 4D free Spin. They're not my favorite ride, but they're still fun and the GP should like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I am interested to see the theme for this ride. Usually I wouldn't say that about a Cedar Fair park, but given their recent work with Copperhead Strike and Orion, I think it's safe to expect a cool theme and story with the ride, rather than just plopping it on concrete and slapping a Joker face on it like at the Six Flags parks.

AmyUD06 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 In conjunction with the rest of the CF announcements today, Kings Dominion officially giving up on 2020:  A Message from Tony Johnson, Vice President & General Manager of Kings Dominion  August 4, 2020 Update  Today, Kings Dominion announced that it would remain closed for the rest of 2020 due to challenges related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The safety of our guests and associates is always our top priority, and we have done our due diligence in developing a comprehensive safety plan in accordance with industry and public health standards. However, the state’s Phase 3 reopening restriction of limiting the park to only 1,000 guests has brought us to the difficult decision to keep the park closed for the rest of the year.  Earlier this season, we extended 2020 Season Passes and add-on products to be valid through 2021. To further show our commitment and appreciation, all 2020 Season Passholders will now also receive a Pass Perks™ Loyalty Reward valid for purchases within the park next season. Day tickets sold for the 2020 season will be valid through September 6, 2021. Finally, any Pre-K Passes that were registered or activated in 2020 will be valid through 2021. Affected guests will receive an email with relevant details. Season Passes for 2021 will be available for purchase beginning September 8, 2020.  As we look forward to brighter days, our team will continue to work with public health authorities to ensure that our guests and associates can return to fun in a safe environment next season. We are planning a great 2021 with rides, attractions and entertainment for the whole family, including:  -The opening of a reimagined area in Soak City, Coconut Shores, featuring an all-new multi-level aqua play structure, a mini wave pool for kids, and a new dining experience; -The return of our popular seasonal events including the nighttime international festival Grand Carnivale; and -New exciting dining options designed by the park’s executive chef and culinary team.  We thank our guests and associates for their continued loyalty and support during this challenging time and we look forward to seeing you at the park in 2021.

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 While disappointing, this is not surprising. Â The wording in their message makes me think the Free Spin is actually a 2022 addition. It is already August, and given that they listed out things to look forward to in 2021, you think they would at least mention an announcement if they plan on adding this for next year.

AmyUD06 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Or they're waiting to do 2021 additions in a CF-wide announcement. Plus, there's really no advantage to them announcing a new ride right now with everything in flux. Or maybe the free-spin is cancelled and we'll actually get something I'll ride, but that's just me being selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 ^That makes sense for them to hold off on the announcement for now. I guess I'm just used to the Cedar Fair that teases rides quite well and makes it obvious they are adding a new coaster, but of course, nothing is normal right now in the industry. I suppose they could announce it later this fall. Â With that being said, there is green Free Spin track currently on site. So whether it's for 2021 or 2022... it's happening!

thepoint4life23 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I know I am late to the party, but has the volcano been taken down or is this ride still standing?
