Hey everybody!
This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at Kings Dominion, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread. Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of the park as well as past updates, see
TPR's Park Index Page. Official Park Website Below are some links to past updates from the park, you may be interested in. Enjoy!

Hey everyone!
As a nice surprise this morning, I opened my email to find some brank spankin' new images from PKD's PR dept of Tomb Raider under construction.
You can see that the ride looks to be in place, and now they are building the elaborate theming around it.

So is this just a regular top spin? Isn't PKI's one of the "giant" models?

Not sure about the PKD, but PKI's is a giant model. Three long rows. Isn't Dominion's supposed to be a floorless?

I think its just going to be a topspin ride in the dark just like the one at PKI. PCW has a topspin but its outside and your get very wet on it. The topspin Tomb Raider ride looks pretty cool though. 8)

Wow lots of theming... In my opinion I think it is a little over the top for a TopSpin but thats just me. Hopefully it will open with the park
