Philrad71 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I love it how they still use the concept art for Flight of Fear's picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I love how they still advertise flight of fear as if it kept the OTSRs. GP being scared of lap bars maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 ^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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah, my friends always freak out because there's only lap bars. But that makes it more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I love it how they still use the concept art for Flight of Fear's picture. They're using all the old info & photos from the paramount era site because it's easier than editing all the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah, my friends always freak out because there's only lap bars. But that makes it more fun! I'd call them lapbars and ankle restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin11KD Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 ^The longest I've waited for FOF this year is about 15 minutes, and I've been there a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 ^Steve how long can I expect waits to be like for 305, Volcano, Dominator, and FoF this monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 ^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.

KingsDominionFanatic Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 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.

Intimidator305 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 ^ 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!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 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.
