coneyislandchris Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Has anyone ever stayed at the centerstone inn located right next to the park? I will be at KD Monday April 2 and that's the night of the national championship game. So I'm looking for a nice comfortable room to watch the game in after I visit the park. Yep. Nothing special but nothing terrible either. You can't beat the location though... it's nice to be able to walk from your room right to the front gate. I'm going to be staying there again next week when I go down for TT's opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayj Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I know everyone would rather see it scraped, but does anyone else think Anaconda’s old black paint job should return. I personally don’t like when two coasters of similar colors are right next to each other, not a big issue though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed  I don't care it's green with pink polka dots--nothing will help Anaconda.  ^^^^^ This. I say tear it down and put in something EPIC. Anaconda may have a cult following/favoritism, but it just sucks (in my opinion). I'd rather see them take it down and get something better like an RMC T-Rex or a launched winged coaster even! that's a big space and they could definitely put something major over that lake. That's just my thoughts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just my thoughts though. Â Agreed!! I think a T-Rex coaster would be amazing in Anaconda's place. Hell, they could tear it down and put nothing in it's place and it would still be an improvement! Â Yep.....Still trying to figure out why people think this rides rough. Â Maybe because it is?? -- I mean, it is not nearly as rough as Vortex at Kings Dominion, however still really freaking rough. The majority of the ride I spent in the "brace" position trying not to be beat to death. Not to mention that the layout was nothing amazing, but it sure is a beautiful coaster to look at. Â Apparently flight of fear, i305, and twisted timbers will have fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo. $2 for the first hour and $1 for every hour afterwards. Â And this is a bad thing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Maier Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 IF they ever do junk Anaconda . . . why not a B&M Dive Coaster . . . (diving into the lake is awesome)? Â And good with the fluffy bunnies . . . . the less time people spend putting their stuff down . . . the QUICKER a dispatch can happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgtlover Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 IF they ever do junk Anaconda . . . why not a B&M Dive Coaster . . . (diving into the lake is awesome)? Â There are 3 B&M Dive coasters in the US. One is about an hour SE of Kings Dominion. That would be an unwise investment no matter how tall or differing the layout may be. If anything, a Wing Coaster (launched or not) could work seeing as there are none nearby. That is unless that's something BGW is working on in the next few years. I could see a B&M Invert or Hyper show up before a Dive...ever. As far as exclusivity? Some say it's 10 years, some say eternity. Then there are those who say # of years before a similar model. I don't think anyone here knows the 100% true answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILinator Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Just bought my kids' BAF tickets for our trip to KD on April 22! Can't wait to get back to the park for the first time since 2002, and also can't wait for TT! Â One question I have for the regulars, is whether you can bring in non-Platinum Pass guests at KD with your PP, for early entry? I know Carowinds specifically says you cannot, which is different than how it's always been at Cedar Point, where your entire group can get in early with a PP holder. I'm hoping KD is more sensible about it, al-la CP, so that I can get in early with my kiddos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm pretty sure there is an exclusivity deal for B&M's (given or sold to) between parks where they can't have the same type of ride within 300 miles. I have read in a few places and it makes sense when you look at what types of rides neighboring parks have. I'm not saying that's true, but again, it makes sense. I just don't want to start a whole discussion on it. Dominion could always get a coaster like Hangtime for a dive. That would be a good fit for that park.

djackson Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 ^ That would make sense accept for the fact that Hersheypark, Dorney, and Great Adventure all have Inverts and are less than 300 miles from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
