KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 KD got hit by an aftershock! lolololololols  Good lord I hope there wasn't any injuries or damage....my sister lives in Stafford & she posted on her FB this morning that they had another aftershock overnight in her area,they had one early wednesday morning too.  Back to 2012:I hope we get at least a windseeker,I've ridden flying ace & it gives me vertigo at only 85 feet so just imagine what a 300 ft. tall version of that ride would be like.....with only lapbars instead of the more secure feeling of the OTSR on flying ace.
tatertot3710 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 ^Well supposedly Cedar Fair ordered four more Windseekers and one of theme is going to Carowinds, that leaves three. KD, WoF, and Dorney will most likely get one. Valleyfair and CGA have height limits. Â Dorney has a height limit of, I believe, up to 210 feet depending on the point in the park.

Â So that kinda narrows it down to KD & WOF then.
A.J. Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I haven't been on any of the Windseekers, they are basically a 300 ft version of the Flying Ace ride in Planet Snoopy? Also, I really hate the Idea of adding Dinosaurs Alive. I am not really a big fan of upcharge attractions. You might not be a fan, but Cedar Fair is - remember that making money is the number one goal here.

Â Windseeker is also avalible in a 210 feet version with 50 seats.. Even smaller version's is avalible so I don't think height limit's is a problem.
ernierocker Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Pretty sure Cedar Fair ordered the same design/height models though for all their Windseekers.
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Â Good lord I hope there wasn't any injuries or damage....my sister lives in Stafford & she posted on her FB this morning that they had another aftershock overnight in her area,they had one early wednesday morning too. Â I live 10 minutes south of Stafford and was awake during the aftershock, it was barely noticeable. The floor shook a bit and my bed wiggled. I've had far more seismic activity occur in bed than what happened last night.
KingsDominionFanatic Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 ^A fast pass system would be great! Â Ohh no it wouldn't. Last time they tried it about ten years ago they had to discontinue it after fights began breaking out at rides. Well if people would learn they have fast pass it wouldn't be a problem.

Â The problem generally is either the same people who refuse pay into the program have a problem with the people that do so; or that they don't like or understand that people are being allowed to pay extra to skip the lines.

They could have employees where they enter.
Austin11KD Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 If we do get a Windseeker, I hope it's like Knott's version. Theirs has one more color scheme than the others. I just hope if we get one it will look different.

They could have employees where they enter. Yea, they could make that kind of system at Kings Dominion where they can just enter through the exit.
BigDipper 80 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 ^I was at the park on Walk-on Wednesday, and let me tell you, when folks started coming up Grizzly's exit, more than a few yelling matches broke out. At least the crew eventually stopped the passholders from taking the same row twice, and actually blocked off two rows on I305. I don't personally mind fastpass systems, but if people will be acting in such a manner over people coming up the exit, I'd think the best solution for the park's sake would be to create some "alternate route" that merges before the station.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Sometimes I wonder why this always happens at Kings Dominion but not at BGW, their Quick Queue passes cause no trouble at all.
cfc Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I think part of the problem is KD's policy of offering their own "quick queue" on Wednesdays only. I've only tried to use it once (at TPR's East Coast Bash a few years ago), and the staff doesn't seem to know how to handle it (it's a bit too "casual"). BGW has, for the most part, dedicated seat rows, separate entrances, and formal procedures in place for rides with Quick Queue (and the staff knows what to do). Â This could improve if KD institutes a system and had formal procedures for using it. Edited August 26, 2011 by cfc
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 And thats where BGW beats Kings Dominion.
Schotcher Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 And thats where BGW beats Kings Dominion. Â BGW always beats KD! XD
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Erm ok. Andrew you haven't even been to Kings Dominion. HAHA!
Schotcher Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Erm ok. Andrew you haven't even been to Kings Dominion. HAHA! Â Well then. XD
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Â BGW always beats KD! XD This. Â But we don't need to get into all that again.
