Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

[Philrad71]

Come kick off Haunt XI by helping Kings Dominion SHATTER the World Record for Largest Gathering of People as.....VAMPIRES!!

 

What is with trying to "shatter" all these stupid records lately? Easter Egg coloring, applying sunscreen...even last week in my hometown, they had a "break the record for number of people dressed like Lucille Ball" event because it is Lucy's birthplace.

 

Since when did the US & Cedar Fair parks become Malaysia?

 

Edit: Sorry for the pointless rant...had a bad day and needed to vent!

[T-BONDIcoasterkid]

Nowthe count down for Kings Dominionis at 4 days! WOOT!

[KingsDominionFanatic]

Kings Dominion new website launches today! Woot!

[Intimidator305]

The new website is up! Looks great. http://kingsdominion.com/

I love it how they still use the concept art for Flight of Fear's picture.

[crazywolf88]

I love how they still advertise flight of fear as if it kept the OTSRs. GP being scared of lap bars maybe?

[T-BONDIcoasterkid]

^When I first went on Flight of Fear I was like,"Um, shouldn't there be OTSR's?" My friend said,"Nope!"

And then I almost peed myself. No I'm just kidding, or am I?

[braztaz]

Yeah, my friends always freak out because there's only lap bars. But that makes it more fun!

They're using all the old info & photos from the paramount era site because it's easier than editing all the info.

I'd call them lapbars and ankle restraints.

[Austin11KD]

They have the foot restraints to keep you in more secure. Plus the lap bars are better, do any of you remember how bad FOF was when it had OTSR?

I'm sure if they noticed what the ankle restrains are there for they'd be less...GP-ish. To them if there isn't "that thing that goes over your head"...it's a lap bar.

It wasn't as bad as JJ with OTSR's,I find the lapbars to be a rather tight fit these days myself but I havn't been on FOF lately due to the insane wait times what with I305 so close by.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^The longest I've waited for FOF this year is about 15 minutes, and I've been there a LOT.

[T-BONDIcoasterkid]

^Steve how long can I expect waits to be like for 305, Volcano, Dominator, and FoF this monday?

[braztaz]

^i305 should be 1 train operation, but it still should only be 5-15 minutes. FoF will have a queue just outside the door, which is about 15-20 minutes. Volcano will be anywhere from 15-35 minutes. Dominator will be a walk on after 3pm.

[T-BONDIcoasterkid]

Cool, thanks.

The website looks great, but I have some likes and dislikes.

 

DISLIKES

-Intimidator 305's picture is still animated in its picture.

-One train on Rebel Yell is still going backwards in its picture.

-Flight of Fear still has shoulder harnesses in its picture.

-Not all rides had the "view more" tab with more information about the ride.

-Beserker's picture is not at Kings Dominion, unless Canada's Wonderland and California's Great Adventure all have the same background and got the picture just like Kings Dominions.

-No Halloween Haunt XI website.

-No 2012 attraction teaser.

-No webcam videos of rides.

 

LIKES

-The Crypt, El Dorado, Anaconda, Dodgem, and Backlot Stunt Coaster's new ride photo.

-They have Thunder Raceway and Action Theater listed on the website.

-The new main screen.

-The picture at the top when you click on "rides and attractions".

-On the information for the "Sunshine" store finally says Peanuts instead of Nickelodeon.

-Sign up for a newsletter through your email.

Not on weekends.

 

Every time I go by FOF on saturdays the outside queue is full.

[alpengeist04]

Long waits on a Saturday during the summer, really???

[Skycoastin Steve]

Stop going on Saturdays.

[Austin11KD]

Has anyone heard anything about 2012?

[Intimidator305]

^ A thought of a Windseeker has come up numerous times. The Dinosaurs Alive! rumor is also floating around out there.

 

Absolutely nothing has been said from the park besides "We will be announcing our 2012 product soon!".

[Skycoastin Steve]

Dinosaurs Alive will be at KD next year. As far as rides go, I have no idea. I think the only people speculating Windseeker are the KD fan people. It's not based off of anything but what they want for the park. But I'll say it again, KD is getting Dinosaurs Alive.

So far no new info on 2012 yet & no signs of construction either.
