chad5871 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Does anyone know if KD is usually crowded on Fridays? I'll probably be going up this Friday (the 14th) and I'm hoping that I don't have to brave the crowds too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went on the 2nd to last week-end in July and managed to get on everything. Besides Taxi Jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I brought my 4 year old cousin to KD once and rode Taxi Jam with him. It is truly amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie200330 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 So they are saying at the bottom of that page that we have been waiting 35 years for this??? Doesn't Carowinds say something along the same lines, like since the parks opening year? I guess this might be where the ligtning striking twice comes into play, 2 major rides the same year.....only 200 miles apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 ^ Then why is there a link to www.whytelightning.com on Cedar Point's webpage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 HMMM Crystal Rock Bottling of West Virginia? Somewhere back in time many pages ago, a reference was made to Morgantown, WV...... Anyone familiar with the city, I only know of passing through on the way to other places. Gotta be someone here who attends WVU?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Moon Shine is nicknamed White Lightning. So, I really don't see what this has to do with a Kings Dominion giga coaster. That theme would probably have more to do with Carowinds. I think, more likely, Kd's coaster will be named after Dale Sr, or just have the usual awful, general Cedar Fair coaster theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEAPUgrad Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Still being new to TPR, I get the sense that many on here aren't ACE friendly but for what it's worth....on August 20th, the same day as the announcement, ACE is having a gathering for final rides on BBW at BGE in the evening.

NegativeGLover Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm from Morgantown, but I've never heard of Crystal Rock Bottling... Can someone fill me in as to why Morgantown was mentioned?

Mochtroid Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Did some checking, and whytelightning was registered through a service called Domains By Proxy, which does not tell us the original registrar. Â It's Cedar Fair doing it, I know that. A real bottling company would not hide their info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngs Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 This whole "Lightning Strikes Twy(i)ce" gig is making me think that the CW Hyper and KD giga will be sister coasters, possibly sharing the same name. Of course if that were the case I feel as if CF wouldn't have contracted two different manufacturers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
