We need =/= I want

Not everything has to be off of need.

This thread is like 5 pages of "OMG Complainers!!!" for every single complaint. Honestly if people would just let complaints slide the world would be a better place.

Bruh where are these family B&M coasters and why have I not heard of them and why have I not ridden one yet?

I don't know, bruh. Google is your friend. The last two are your problem.

About the complaining of KD's 2016 addition is still (probably) going. There's one person that keeps constantly complaining. (Probably you should what I'm talking about)

 

What the crap language is this?

[madmax]

Now that I think of it a B&M Hyper is actually pretty family friendly. Yes, it's huge, but it's not very intense. Imagine something like Diamondback in the woods. Hopefully the height restriction would be down to 52 inches.

I know how much we all want a coaster at KD man but complaining isn't gonna get them to listen to us. Just be patient. We already have one of the best ride in the world and that tells you we're not as neglected as you think. 2017 or 2018 is the year, just enjoy the awesome rides for now.

I think that they have only built one at Happy Valley Shanghai.

How am I complaining? I'm just giving out a possibility.

True, Kings Dominion doesn't need anything new next year! They already have enough coasters that people will go there anyway!

[david84]

So is this just a regular top spin? Isn't PKI's one of the "giant" models?

 

Not sure about the PKD, but PKI's is a giant model. Three long rows. Isn't Dominion's supposed to be a floorless?

Yes, Kings Dominion's is a floorless model.

Exactly. There was no new big attraction this year, and yet they still got my money because I knew it was still a great park to visit.

 

Funny how that works.

Hi there. My home park is Dorney. I see you're unhappy with an Intimidator 305 and a Volcano. I'll take it for you. Im sure they would be great complements to our current lineup. Would you like Stinger and Possessed in return? Or would you like us to take your disappointing 2017 addition?

Neither, we're fine. Sorry for our ungrateful guests.

So close... why do some KD locals need to be thankful.

Maybe we can work out a deal with our neighbor carowinds and they can give you guys intimidator and vortex for possessed and thunderhawk

You know what I just found out? Kings Dominion sits on a much larger plot of land than most other parks do, yet for some reason it feels compact.

Because they made the rides so close together. Yet, walking sometimes feels like a hassle

It's not nearly as bad as Busch Gardens, where it takes FOREVER to get to rides.

I think Marineland in Canada is the worst for walking. A 30 minute walk to find out the ride you want to go on is closed.

[Bmanscool]

I hope KD's next coaster is an vekoma inverted jr coaster!

 

Something the FAMILY can enjoy . . .

 

Rather have a B&M. Heck, Shockwave is the only thing worse than a Vekoma.

Ok . . . here you go!

 

Seriously, KD had like what? 3 true family coasters?

 

Iv'e always wondered why Parmount never did a major kid's area expansion or added a Jr. Vekoma at Kings Dominion, such as

Rugrats Runaway Raptor at Kings Island and Carowinds or Silver Streak at Canada's Wonderland.

Did Parmount ever plan this, however sold out to Cedar Fair before they ever made way to the project?

Nickelodeon Universe at Kings Island, Nickelodeon Central at Carowinds, and Kidzville at Canada's Wonderland were all

decent renovations, however Kidzville at Kings Dominion was never updated with new rides after its opening and

Nickelodeon Central remained with only 3 attractions. (Scooby Doo and The Haunted Mansion being the only exception).

I do really like the rides there and the view is worth it, but I think Ocean Park in Hong Kong takes the longest time of any park to get across to some rides.

That looks like a fun coaster. Considering KD has the Woodstock express it seems like overkill to have two roller coasters in a kiddie area, even though I think its good training for the kiddies!

Woodstock Express, Ricochet, Avalanche, and Heist Movie Studio Warehouse Powered Stunt Amusement Attraction are all basically family coasters. Plus there's the Great Pumpkin kiddie coaster as well. how many family coasters does one park need? would there really be a benefit to adding a 5th (or 6th) coaster in the same niche? a nice sprawling out and back B&M floaty airtime hyper that takes a scenic trip through the woods (yes, much like Apollo's Chariot down the road) would fill KD's biggest missing chunk. i305 is nothing at all like a B&M hyper, and i don't think BGW's presence should automatically eliminate it as a possibility.
