Photo TR: Kings Dominion: Opening Day


Recommended Posts

Okay know first I am just going to post my review.

 

Okay first the cable lift feels like a boost more than a cable lift that is great when you reach the top you get incredible airtime and in the front you look over which looks like to be an intense turn which you feel alot of Gs and no headbanging then the second hill is the best hill for airtime that one has the best airtime. you turn a couple times which givesa you time to realize the speed then the airtime hills give you a good time to experience ejector airtime before the helix and the brakes hit. After riding it is in my top 10 amazing and no headbanging.

 

I had an awesome day especially meeting Rob Alvey he was heading towards a walkback and I was leaving Intimadator.

 

ADMIN EDIT: I have updated your title to include "Photo TR:" at the front. When posting photo reports in the future, please remember to include that notation. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Lift Hill for the Lift Hill Enthusiest

We don't have lift hill enthusiests on this site. Just Six Flags ones.

 

Opps my mistake and thank you

 

 

LOL,gotta admit that 305's lift is the most photogenic around.

 

I went on saturday & had a great time despite some rides being down....now if I can just get my video from this weekend uploaded.

Nice PhotoTR. i like the fact your camera makes this TR feel like its from the late 1990s. In a good way.

 

P.S.

Just pointing out, but It's Intimidator and not Intimadator

 

and I305 doesn't have a helix. (If it did, It would be a Helix of Death that turned left and held you in until you screamed "Twisty!")

I was there at Good Old Kings Dominion on opening day and that day had its high point and low points.

 

First the high points - You couldn't get any higher without some help on THE IMTIMIDATOR 305!!! I got to ride that ride twice (on the second time through I discovered the single rider line - now why couldn't they have that on DOMINATOR?)!

 

Other high points (but not seen in your photo TR) were the many changes made to Planet Snoopy and Kidzville (okay, there were two photos: Ghoster Coaster and Boo Blaster). In Planet Snoopy, a few rides were changed to fit the new theme (Space Surfer was now Flying Ace and the Rugrat's Driving range is now Joe Cool's Driving School) and they have added a bounce house (just look for Astronuant Snoopy on top), but the ride wasn't ready to be opened yet. Secondly, Treasure Cave has been given a pirate theme (it's no longer just a boring walk-through - Cedar Fair I applaud you). And finally, Boo Blaster may have taking all the Scooby Doo related items out, but added more things in (hint: check out the next room after you pass the magic potions room and get ready to be amazed).

 

Now the low points - First, several coasters were running only one train (Volcano and Grizzly), I saw some rides having breakdown issues (Dominator had a train that was stuck on the lift hill for a good while and the Drop Zone had its riders stuck up in the air for a good ten minutes before they were lowered down), several rides weren't running that day (Hurler, Shockwave, Log Flume,and Flight of Fear), and (to top it off) the park was CROWDED!!!

 

Finally, I must tell you how suprised I was when I saw the line for those getting season passes. The line was so long it spilled out into the parking lot (and I wonder how many of them are getting the pass I have : THE PLATINUM PASS)! I think the line may have looked like this (interpreted by Smilies):

 

 

And what these people looked like after they have gotten there season pass:
