braztaz Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 ^It was a joke, therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. But KD normally has good luck with getting rides open on time. I still can't believe they managed to debut i305 opening day 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazywolf88 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I for one would like windseeker's seats to face inward, like insanity at the stratosphere.(a suggestion that would never happen) Otherwise I am happy with what kings dominion got. The only park that outranks it in terms of 300 ft+ rides is cedar point, and you don't see two 300 ft rides built in such back to back manner often.

osm Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 ^^^Yeah they got it open on time, but then it had some pretty major issues...just saying. ^That would be cool, it would be funny to be able to look at someone with a fear of heights while riding.

T-BONDIcoasterkid Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have never been on a Windseeker, so I am pretty excited! But Kings Dominion will be after I go to Busch Gardens for Verbolten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozzy Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thinking about going on a Saturday in October. -Does anyone know if Flight of Fear be open during the daytime hours? I can see on the Haunt map that it is just listed as a Haunted Maze, but can't find anything saying if it's closed all day or just at night. -How intense is the Haunt? I'm quite the wimp at haunted attractions (I'd be going mainly for coasters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Flight of Fear and Hurler will not be open Friday nights but on Saturday and Sunday will be open until 5PM I believe, it may be 6PM though, I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingB24 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can't wait for this weekend! I'm planning on going to Haunt Saturday night. I would go Friday but the whole vampire thing kind of turned me away... Anyway, I'm hoping this will be a great year. Hoping to see some improvements in mazes such as Camp Killauee, Asylum, and Slaughterhouse. Has anybody seen any decorations for Cornstalkers and/or Outbreak?

Intimidator305 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Rumors are Camp Killauee got improvements/upgrades and Club Blood got improvements/upgrades to celebrate its 5th season. I heard CornStalkers is looking good (but a little on the short side) and that Outbreak: The Evolution was all "walled off" so you couldn't see anything...

khowe22 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can't wait to hear some impressions this weekend. Heading back to Richmond in mid October and trying to decide on doing the Haunt at KD or HOS at BGW. Currently leaning heavily toward KD. My only fear is that quality is sacrificed for quantity...please tell me otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this will only be my second trip ever to KD (first was about 2 months ago). My job has sent me to Richmond for some training and this will be my second of several trips this year to the area. I'm by myself for 2 weeks so KD and BGW were welcome breaks in the monotony of hotel life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haunt's main audience is high schoolers and teenagers and we have waaaay more homework than you do, but we find the time because, well, it's the Haunt!
