Flgirl15 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I just wanted to know what happened to flight of fear at Paromaunts Kings Dominion in Doswell Virgina? I went onto their website recently and there was nothing on there about it. Did the Italian Stunt Job coaster replace or what? Can someone please tell me!! Thanks
pkdcoaster Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Well it is going to be closed the whole year 2006 for sure. I believe it is gonna be revamped and re-themed for next years (2007) "NEW" attraction. (A few people think it is moving to another Paramount Park) JEFF
alpengeist04 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 ^I'm one of the people who thinks it's being moved to PCW.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 ^ Why don't they just move it Woodstock, NY and eliminate the middleman. // Inside joke. Kinda?
Sidekick2 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I don't want them to move it cuz I wanna ride it again! The first time I rode it was last Summer..hopefully they just revamp and re-theme it.

niiicolaaah Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 ^ Why don't they just move it Woodstock, NY and eliminate the middleman. // Inside joke. Kinda? No. Not Woodstock, NY. Woodstock, Ontario. It's like halfway between London and Kitchener. Not that you know where either of those places are.

It all depends on when in May you are going.
cygnusx1 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Check the PKDPlace forums for some more discussion about it. Some of the people who post there work at PKD, so they've taken some pictures and whatnot. The arch in front of the ride's down, and there's a fence around the ride, but there's no announcement on the fence saying that they're working on anything in that area. I think one of the users there said that FoF's been taken out of the building though. At least PKI's will still be open this season... Here's the thread link: http://www.pkdplace.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=761 About the Italian Job, there have been some pictures on PKD's website and at PKDPlace. The track seems to be done, but the theming and everything else is not in place yet. Media Day's on May 25th (pushed back from May 18), so it's unclear when IJTC will be open to the public. It won't be Opening Day though. I'm not much of an expert on ride construction, but comparing what they have in the most recent pictures I've seen to what's in the promotional video on the Kings Dominion site, they don't look very close to being done.
Movieguy Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Why would they want to take this coaster out? From what I understand, the ride vastly improved once they replaced those awful OTSRs with lap bars. Doug "We already have a shortage of indoor coasters, damn it...don't make it worse, PKD" Booth
