Voxelmatic 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well, Dominator reopened yesterday morning, running fine. Of course none of us know when on the ride the person became "unresponsive" but the final helix does pull quite a lot of G's & almost makes me want to throw up afterwards as of lately. Agreed, but it doesn't pull as much as Backlot or i305... Link to post Share on other sites

Coaster_Fanatic 0 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Just to make it official, the woman that was found unresponsive on Dominator did in fact die from a brain aneurysm. It was just released today. Edited July 28, 2012 by Coaster_Fanatic Link to post Share on other sites
DougMJr 0 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 ^That's very unfortunate. So there was really no way anyone could have known. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah,I read the article earlier today....really sad but unfortunately her condition was a ticking timebomb that was bound to go off sooner or later & what makes it more sad is that she probably was completely unaware of the condition.

Intimidator305 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just a heads up to the Dodgem fans, the ride's last operating day of the season was yesterday. It is now closed to prepare for Haunt XII. Link to post Share on other sites

Intimidator305 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 ^^ Hopefully the nice castle structure outside of the building will return this year. That was a great improvement last season. Also, KD has posted an interesting behind the scenes with a maintenance worker during the morning safety checks on Windseeker and Rebel Yell. Link to post Share on other sites

Not bad but they could've shown more on the actual mechanics of the trains like they did with windseeker. Link to post Share on other sites

KDCOASTERFAN 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Looks like Dominator got stuck again,someone posted a photo on facebook with a train in the MCBR & another one stopped on the lift the other day. Link to post Share on other sites

KDCOASTERFAN 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 ^And? What's the big deal? No big deal about it at all,it's probably just a blocking error but this is not the thing that KD wants or really needs right now on a ride that someone recently died on. Did anyone go to the park this weekend & if so was Dominator back up & running? Link to post Share on other sites

Intimidator305 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) 2013!!! First of all, Kings Dominion never teases so this is shocking. Secondly, the only strong 2013 rumor has been a kiddie area revamp and this doesn't seem to be hinting towards that (unless "Planet" Snoopy, but it has the records thing mentioned). Finally, the whole "Breaking Records... AGAIN!" thing really has my attention. September 12th, get here now! Thoughts? Edited August 6, 2012 by Intimidator305 Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 462 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^Dominator was running quite during evening ERT. That was an awesome ERT session. We rode like 7 or 8 times without getting off. I love the pop of air off of the mcbr. Link to post Share on other sites
molemaster43 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^^Intriguing. Maybe largest kiddie area? Link to post Share on other sites
jedimaster1227 101 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^^^If anything I think that image teases something for Planet Snoopy. It is cartoonish in the art style, plus it has to do with space, tying into the larger theme of Planet Snoopy. I'm definitely curious to see what kind of record they could really find with a kiddie area, but I like that they are continuing to spread out the investments in the park in areas that aren't just coasters.

Intimidator305 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^ That's what I'm starting to think as well. They will probably pull out the "Largest Kids Area in the Mid-Atlantic (or East Coast)" record. I'm excited that the park is teasing it though like so many other parks do these days. They're doing the same thing as CGA is doing on their website. Link to post Share on other sites

They're doing the same thing as CGA is doing on their website. We've got quite the discussion going in a couple of facebook groups on the subject right now but I find it odd that KD would be teasing this early for something as simple as a rennovaation of the kids area since theirs is already bigger than SFA's LTMT section & with better rides for the kids. "Record breaking" sounds like something in the thrill ride category to me & it will have been three years since their last coaster but since we got windseeker this year as well as DA it kinda throws off the whole thrill ride one year/family ride next year rotation since both were done together this year.Now they could be hinting at a new woodie coming to the park to break the current record they have of four woodies in one park who knows?
