braztaz Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 ^It was a joke, therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. But KD normally has good luck with getting rides open on time. I still can't believe they managed to debut i305 opening day 2010!
coasterfreak101 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 ^Yeah, that was one heck of a feat!
crazywolf88 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I for one would like windseeker's seats to face inward, like insanity at the stratosphere.(a suggestion that would never happen) Otherwise I am happy with what kings dominion got. The only park that outranks it in terms of 300 ft+ rides is cedar point, and you don't see two 300 ft rides built in such back to back manner often.
osm Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 ^^^Yeah they got it open on time, but then it had some pretty major issues...just saying. ^That would be cool, it would be funny to be able to look at someone with a fear of heights while riding.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I have never been on a Windseeker, so I am pretty excited! But Kings Dominion will be after I go to Busch Gardens for Verbolten.
Nozzy Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Thinking about going on a Saturday in October. -Does anyone know if Flight of Fear be open during the daytime hours? I can see on the Haunt map that it is just listed as a Haunted Maze, but can't find anything saying if it's closed all day or just at night. -How intense is the Haunt? I'm quite the wimp at haunted attractions (I'd be going mainly for coasters)
Homeboy23 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Flight of Fear and Hurler will not be open Friday nights but on Saturday and Sunday will be open until 5PM I believe, it may be 6PM though, I forgot.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Ok by request from Andrew (Schotcher) I have drawn an Intimidator 305 picture, enjoy. Intimidator 305 drawing
Intimidator305 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Well it looks like Kings Dominion will also have Fright Lane for Halloween Haunt XI... Add the new FRIGHT LANE ticket option and you'll get a lanyard that allows you to bypass the regular wait lines for every one of our Haunt mazes one time each. The more you buy, the more you save.

KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Hopefully they're not adding that skip the line crap for rides next season.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Hopefully they're not adding that skip the line crap for rides next season. yeaa it hasn't worked so well in the past...
KingB24 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Can't wait for this weekend! I'm planning on going to Haunt Saturday night. I would go Friday but the whole vampire thing kind of turned me away... Anyway, I'm hoping this will be a great year. Hoping to see some improvements in mazes such as Camp Killauee, Asylum, and Slaughterhouse. Has anybody seen any decorations for Cornstalkers and/or Outbreak?
Intimidator305 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Rumors are Camp Killauee got improvements/upgrades and Club Blood got improvements/upgrades to celebrate its 5th season. I heard CornStalkers is looking good (but a little on the short side) and that Outbreak: The Evolution was all "walled off" so you couldn't see anything...
khowe22 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Can't wait to hear some impressions this weekend. Heading back to Richmond in mid October and trying to decide on doing the Haunt at KD or HOS at BGW. Currently leaning heavily toward KD. My only fear is that quality is sacrificed for quantity...please tell me otherwise!

Did you attend haunt last year?It was pretty good then so I'm expecting the same level of quality again this year as well.
Intimidator305 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 ^ You are really missing out... It is definitely the most wonderful time of the year at Kings Dominion!
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I've actually never been to a halloween event at a theme park,maybe its because Im 12?
Zeppelinfreak Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I've actually never been to a halloween event at a theme park,maybe its because Im 12? They recommend 13 but I started going when I was 7 and I've loved it ever since. You should check it out this year.

No this will only be my second trip ever to KD (first was about 2 months ago). My job has sent me to Richmond for some training and this will be my second of several trips this year to the area. I'm by myself for 2 weeks so KD and BGW were welcome breaks in the monotony of hotel life.
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 ^What exactly makes you not wanna go? I do want to go, but I can't school, homework, etc.
KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 ^What exactly makes you not wanna go? I do want to go, but I can't school, homework, etc. So try to go on a saturday then.
braztaz Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 ^What exactly makes you not wanna go? I do want to go, but I can't school, homework, etc. So what does being 12 have to do with that? Haunt's main audience is high schoolers and teenagers and we have waaaay more homework than you do, but we find the time because, well, it's the Haunt!
T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Actually I dont really know, my family just doesnt really go to the halloween events at parks.
