eddie200330 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Twenty inches in an aching back and swearing to move south as soon as possible. I couldn't agree more after 2 days of digging out!!!! But it is amazing to see them back to work so soon.
kingsdominionlvr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Measured 20in. at my house, I don't think Kings Dominion got that much, but I305 looks awesome in the snow. Most fanboys would think it looks awesome covered in dog crap. I would prefer cow crap for your information.
alpengeist04 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yea, it looks like they're really moving along now. With the snow on the ground, I definitely have an easier time making out the new track being put up. I think the white (snowy) background makes it a lot easier to see versus the dirt/mud.
jarmor Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 i still have to ask (or scream)...WHY YELLOW SUPPORTS!!!
kingsdominionlvr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 ^ Cedar Fair seems to think red track+yellow supports=race theming.
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 i still have to ask (or scream)...WHY YELLOW SUPPORTS!!! Maybe the P&D guys at CF love McDonalds?
larrygator Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^ Cedar Fair seems to think red track+yellow supports=race theming. The color of Dale's Bud car was Red. The predominant color of Dale's Wrangler car was Yellow. And don't fool yourselves for a minute thinking CF even thought of this. They just happened to buy a lot of Red and Yellow paint when it was on sale.

They just happened to buy a lot of Red and Yellow paint when it was on sale. That's Dale Jr, his son, who raced in the red Bud car. Red and yellow are physiologically stimulating colors. Causing excitement and hunger in people. I think that's the main reason Cedar Fair has been going crazy with those colors lately, getting people worked up physiologically.
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^Or maybe they went to Sam's Club 10 years ago, bought every gallon of red and yellow paint, and still have yet to use it up.
adeuce02 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I think the track should of been black with silver supports or the other way around. Just like dales actual car

They just happened to buy a lot of Red and Yellow paint when it was on sale. Dale Jr drove the red Bud Car not Dale Sr. Any other color relations to his cars were probably coincidental. They used Red and Yellow on Top Thrill Dragster, maybe they just think those colors represent a racing theme well. Heck, maybe they had some paint left over from the TTD project.
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^^If it was like Dale's car then it would be black and red.
EagleEye Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I think the track should of been black with silver supports or the other way around. Just like dales actual car If the track was black and the trains were black, that would not go very good together
themeparkman25 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 The track and supports are red and yellow, respectively, because Cedar Fair new that the OTSR's weren't enough to keep the coaster enthusiasts up-ended.
larrygator Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Wow, that was stupid on my part. That's what I get for trying to be witty when I should be sleeping.
christianscoasters Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I drove by Kings Dominion on I-95 today (I think that's the name of the interstate). There are tons of trees in the way, but OMG I305 is HUGE!!! So huge that I could see it over the trees at times. Too bad I probably will never ride it
bpmitchell Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEkuB2wUQ_8 Me and a friend of mine rode it on xmas day for fun
alpengeist04 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 OMG, where did the snow go? When did they plant grass? LOL, nicely done guys.
CoasterLine Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 ^^If it was like Dale's car then it would be black and red. Or it could fit red by looking at: Earnhardt's 1998 Coke Japan Car: -- or -- Earnhardt's 2000 Taz Car: Both of which what Cedar Fair was obviously going for...
JEAPUgrad Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^Please not another three weeks of this again... I can't take much more of "what Cedar Fair was thinking" and people acting like they can read Cedar Fair's minds.
