Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

[BeansproutMidget]

Nice! I've seen a few things from Media Day, but haven't gotten around to it. This seems to sum it up pretty well.

 

Super excited for tomorrow (even if it won't be running because of the weather) !!

[madmax]

Wow. Kings Dominion has really upped the ante with their food, like Carowinds did.

[RyanTPM]

Thanks for the pictures, Delirium looks fantastic!

[KICoasterkev]

Dang looks like you all had a great time, awesome! I love how KD has a bunch of tree's, I wish KI would copy that idea!

[John Peck]

What is missing in that fourth photo?

[thrillrider]

Looks like a great addition for the park! I just hope they can extend the ride cycle by a swing or two.

 

One thing that looks a little odd, is all the empty space on both sides of the ride. It's hard to tell from the Webcam, but what is that trench to the left of the ride?

[CPmillenia94]

This ride is just gorgeous. It looks like an animation almost!

 

Also KD is looking gorgeous as well especially this time of year..

[I Like Theme Parks.]

Actually, I think the short ride cycle is a good idea. The lines this first season will be very long, and a longer cycle will just make the wait times even longer, and less people will ride it. But as the GP's hype dies down, they should extend the cycle in future seasons. Honestly, I thought Max Air and Black Widow were so awesome, I don't care if the ride is short this year!

I think that is exactly the reason. When Sledgehammer (Bobbejaanland) opened back in 2004, the cycles were short aswell. But the next season, the ride time was much longer.

Oh WOW! Any time we have a Media day and seeing the cool pictures of Kings Dominion always get me excited, actually more like X-SITE-TED!!! With the new ride in place, I but this whole are will be a lot of Applesauce - I mean, Awesome Sauce ( Is that one word or two? The computer misspells it as one word and corrects it as two. On the other hand, maybe I'll stick with applesauce.).

 

Now as for John Peck who asked this question "What is missing in that fourth photo?" Well, isn't it obvious? I"M NOT THERE RIDING THOSE RIDES!" That's what's missing, but I hope to correct that problem within the next few weeks.

 

And that would be a lot of Applesauce!

What is missing in that fourth photo?

 

Much pain and misery.

[thrillrider]

What is missing in that fourth photo?

 

Cries of pain and suffering.

[thrillseeker4552]

Nice photos. I've always enjoyed frisbee rides. Does anybody else find it a little funny how such a big space was left open for a tiny (in relation to Shockwave's footprint) ride? Any word on if they are adding something else to the area?

[John Peck]

Oh, okay... you were referring to Shockwave.... I thought it was something less obvious like a cart or building missing.

There very well could be some other things missing; you were merely "over-thinking" my joke.

 

As for the space around Delirium, I suppose there could be room for a few more flats.

[The Geek Mojo]

Delirium looks fantastic! I will be visiting the park in May. It will be my second time I've been to this park. Wasn't a big fan of Shockwave, so I'm glad they got a good flat to go in its place. But most of all, I'm looking forward to riding I-305 again. After riding Skyrush and Fury 325, I got to go back and judge I305 again to see if it's still #1 or not.

Headed to the park today, they're warning of some delayed openings due to minimum temperature limits. Can someone please explain what they mean by that? Our home park is Six Flags Great Adventure so we're unfamiliar with this concept.

Certain rides can't run under a certain temperature. They maybe doing test rides until it gets warmer.

 

This happen to me with Millennium Force back in may last year when I visited.

[coasterkid124]

This may have been asked brfore, but are KD and Busch Gardens offering a joint ticket for both parks again this year?

He was being facetious.

They did that last year. This year BGW is doing something with Williamsburg, packages and what not. KD and BGW are probably not doing the joint ticket this year, but I could be wrong. But I haven't been able to find anything online about it. Maybe the closer it gets to summer, they might again. Would be nice.

[coasterbill]

Some quick shots from the park so far...

... and not a single F**K was given that day

We were lucky enough to be on the first public ride ever on Delirium! Great ride!

Is this a new lighting package? It looks great as does the one on Delirium. This area should look great at night.

Fun TV says it's 40 degrees so they finally fired up Intimidator!

[CaptainUnknown]

Big question here: If Hurler is SBNO for the season, WHY IS IT ON THE MAP?! ',:/

[cfc]

Yes, I think Bad Apple did get a new lighting package for this season.

Maybe cause it isn't going anywhere?
