KDCOASTERFAN Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Anaconda bangs your head around. Â The first half isn't too bad but the second half is horrid,perhaps if they got rid of the butterfly element the ride would improve,but not by much.

Â Its the lowest part of the butterfly element that bangs everyone up in particular. That transition is awful... Other then that it isn't a bad ride, imo. The final corkscrews are fantastic.
ShannonSomerville Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Who is going to be there opening weekend. I'll probably be there that Sunday.
KDCOASTERFAN Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Who is going to be there opening weekend. I'll probably be there that Sunday. Â I havn't decided yet wether I'm going on opening day or not.How are opening day operations in terms of getting major rides up & running?
cfc Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I have to get my Cedar Fair pass, so I imagine I'll be there on opening day.
KDCOASTERFAN Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I have to get my Cedar Fair pass, so I imagine I'll be there on opening day. Â I ordered mine online,got my voucher printed out & I'm ready for processing on my first visit.....can't wait to get some laps in on Dominator & Grizz in a couple of months.
RinkyDink94 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Check out the new Kings Dominion Talk, it is bigger and more powerful than the previous one!

DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 That is a pretty nice site. Â On the 21st I go in for processing to be a "ride host" (aka Ride Op) for Shockwave, get my uniform, and such. When I am there, Im going to try and get some pictures of the new flat ride, and of anything that might have new paint (please let Rebel Yell have the old Red, White, and Blue)
bpmitchell Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I have my platinum pass for this upcoming season. This may be my last full season of owning a season pass due to next year saving up money for a house and planning on going back to school etc. I am going to enjoy it while I can. Anyways I'm looking forward to April 5th I can't make it on opening day I work every Saturday so it won't cut it for me. I'm looking forward to some laps on Dominator and the many new changes happening this year.
BuschSchoe Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Just got my voucher for my VIP Season Pass in the mail... I'm a little confused though because in bold letters on the top of my voucher is says "Voucher for ONE friend or family member"? Also, since the VIP pass has benefits, if I were to bring a friend who does not own a VIP pass, would they be able to share to the benefits with me as long as I was with them? Â Thanks.
SonOfBeastSucks Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Can you notice/see the fire when you're coming out of the top of Volcano? Or is it just more of an effect for people watching from the ground?
pkdcoaster Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 The fire comes out right when a train is dispatched (one or 2 big bursts of flameage) so the fire is gone by the time (24 seconds later) you get there but you can smell propane sometimes. You do not see it when you are on it but you can here it or if it is night you can see the glow. Â Out of all the effects KD/PKD have installed I am really glad they have maintained and kept this one running consistently for over 10 years. Â JEFF
Superstar94 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I think BLSC has the best effects.  Check out VaThrills, ALL Virginia themeparks in 1 place! Link removed  -2009 KDTalk-
pkdcoaster Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I think BLSC has the best effects.-2009 KDTalk-  Hmm last time I rode it in October the only thing that worked was the burst of flame before the tunnel.  -onboard audio was ripped out prior to 2008  -I have not seen the the bullet/water sprays since opening weekend of the ride in 2006  -All the times I went in 2008 I think I saw the Helicopter work maybe twice  -Police lights do not even light up anymore.  -Most of the time the splash is a slight dribble.  Opening day 2006 was the only time I have seen every effect working.  It does have/had some cool effects but when most of them are never running or are gone now it is hard to award it with the best effects.  JEFF
cfc Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 ^Cedar Fair? Â Actually, to be fair, Paramount had problems keeping all the effects working, as I recall. Other parks in the chain had nothing but problems with them, too.
Superstar94 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 They need to get hollywood out of the congo.
cfc Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 ^What about Avalanche? I was unaware that snow sliding down mountains was a big issue in the Congo.
coolhandluke Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 ^It is in the Rwenzori Mountains. Â Boy, I need to stop looking at and studying world maps for fun...
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 In all honesty all they need to do is re-theme Avalanche to something like; "Lava Gulch" or something.... because snow usually isn't around when there is lava erupting out of an active volcano..... Â I always thought they should have move Ricochet to the Congo, and re-themed it, and put BLSC beside Rebel Yell/Hurler..... but that's just me. All I want to see put back in BLSC is the lights, they looked so awesome at night, but then again so does any coaster with lights at night. The splash still kinda works, the helicopter has only worked maybe five times out of the 35 times I went last season. And last, they really reeeeeeeeeally need to add padding around the butt area, becasue that last drop then the supposed "air-time" bump really hurts if your not practically standing.
