Mind Eraser Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 FYI- Kings Dominion's Grizzly will not be opening until May. It looks like it's being retracked and refurbished. In my dreams, they're going to tear up that first flat, slow turn and replace it with a swoop turn or a swooping double down. Probably not, but it's fun to imagine, eh? I can't wait to ride in in May; and, it'll be all ready in time for Grizzlyfest (which should be an AMAZING night/dark ERT!) -kip-
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 That's really good news! I've always liked Grizzly, although felt it was a *little* overrated, but I think the ride overall is VERY solid. Now I wonder when Hurler will get the love it probably needs? --Robb
WalrusMan Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 When will PGA's Grizzly get some love then? Wait, no that doesn't deserve any love, it deserves an arsonist.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I've always liked Grizzly, although felt it was a *little* overrated, but I think the ride overall is VERY solid. I too, really like Grizzley. Thought it was overrated until I took my first night ride. One of my favorite tunnels ever.
SharkTums Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 PKD really seems to have some sort of issue with their woodies. They really seem to have their maintenance kind of whacked. We always noticed that they actually seem to run better early in the season, then it's as if they do no work on them throughout the summer because by season's end they're running awful!

RCTfan Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Grizzly is my favorite ride at the park, not that I'll get to ride it until August anyway. What is Grizzlyfest?
CoasterFanatic Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 GrizzleyFest - (def.) Annual Event held by CoasterZombies (Sam Marks). Consists of lights out rides on the Grizzley at night. (usage) I will be going to GRIZZLEYFEST with my friends this year. http://www.coasterzombies.com
RCTfan Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 This is clearly something new, otherwise Sam would've told me. Too bad I won't be home to see it. I'm HIGHLY dissappointed.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 I think "GrizzleyFest" is more of a this years name thing. But, he does normally do something at PKD.
