Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

P. 767: WinterFest Media Night Report

Recommended Posts

I'm tempted to tell you to run right to Volcano since you missed it and I personally think its freaking awesome (and its capacity is horrific). But now with Twisted Timbers on the other side of the park its going to be a major conflict. I'm curious to see what the lines for Volcano will be like with the new hotness.

 

Personally I'd run to Twisted Timbers but I feel like if you haven't ridden Volcano you should still go there first if it's running since it's so f*cking unreliable.

 

and it IS right next door to a pretty good bobsled.. we really enjoyed Avalanche when we were last at KD.

I know my nephews will want to hit up Twisted Timbers first, their both budding coaster nerds and have been closely following the construction of Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers. Honestly sometimes it's all my nephew will talk about (he has Asperger syndrome so I try not to get too annoyed lol) Their other big focus is Dominator, they know I operated the ride at GL and are looking forward to taking a spin on it.

 

If all goes to plan and weather cooperates this trip we will be at the park for night rides on Sunday and all day on Monday following. We will be traveling the first week of August, so even though it's summer travel season I'm hoping the crowds will be tolerable on a Sunday night and Monday.

I've never seen Volcano go down when I've visited Kings Dominion, but it does always have the worst queue. I waited 2 hours the first time I rode it and basically everything else in the park was a walk-on.

That's an amazing deal!

 

Does Kings Dominion let you upgrade days admission into a Platinum Pass. I know Six Flags and the Busch parks do something similar. If I can do it with this deal, I'm on board.

 

EDIT- Just emailed the park and they confirmed you can upgrade.

Just like the Mystic Timbers trains, I do not like this rusty look and I think its ironic that just like Mystic Timbers trains, everyone seems to be digging them, because we all know if Six Flags did this everyone would use it as an opportunity to point out how they did it so they don't have to keep on the paintjob, etc.

 

Personally I like the clean look of Twisted Cyclones trains much better than these. That said, I generally really don't care what coaster trains look like and I'm still totally stoked to ride this. I still can't get over that this park with this line-up is getting an RMC. Hopefully we'll see some testing soon.

It’s almost as if they are trying to have theming...

Admission and Fast Lane Plus for only $64.99?!

 

Don't mind if I do.

 

Thanks Bill for the heads up!

 

That's a crazy good deal! I wish they had some FLP deals for Platinum pass holders. Haven't seen anything myself although if I was planning to go on a weekend, even with my PP it'd be cheaper to do the Admission/FLP sale deal!

I jumped on the deal. I plan to visit sometime before Memorial Day weekend (targeting mid-April) so I can upgrade my days admission to a platinum pass before going to Worlds of Fun.

 

Based on the progress of Twisted Timbers, it looks likely it'll be open in that window.

So will Twisted Timbers be open in time for Pass Holder Preview Night on March 23.

 

I'm sure that's the plan but I'm not sure how you expect a definitive answer on this.

Media Day will be on Thursday 3/22, although I don't know if TPR members/admins will be allowed to attend as it appears that another group got the primary invitation ( ). Barring major technical issues, I would consider TT also soft-opening on Friday's (3/23) Preview Day confirmed at this point.
