Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

[KDCOASTERFANI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

It has been atleast 4 years since I been down to the park . I am amazed as to what Ceder Fair is doing with the park. I am with you on the 1 train on Backlot but I am also curious on where they have the storage track at on that coaster??? Dominator had alittle Vibration near the end but not bad as people had told me. All together I think I am not going to regret buying 4 season passes.....

The storage track is just to the right of the station approach,basically behind the platform.

I was in row 4 on Dominator & fully expected the usual vibrations in the first flat spin off the MCBR but was pleasantly suprised to find the entire second half to be perfectly smooth....let's hope it stays that way.

[Coaster_FanaticI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

So here is my trip report from last Monday (4/9). Sorry for sucky quality... I only had my phone that day.

[braztazDon't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Yes, I also noticed Dominator was running incredibly smooth my first visit this season. There was no vibrations/rattling at all, and I sat near the back where it is usually the worst. I was impressed!

That's great to hear! Definitely looking forward to my first ride this season.

^^I have a feeling that windseeker's gonna get a lot of photographic coverage before the season's done.

Is the Drop Tower at King Dimonion really over 300 feet tall? I found the tower to be very weak (in terms of the sudden drop at the top) and not as tall as people claim.

[Intimidator305Challenge me at Donkey Kong...I dare ya!]

Drop Tower is 305 ft tall, with a 272 ft drop with a max speed of 72 MPH. Which drop towers have you ridden that are more intense than it is? I still haven't found one that even comes close to being as good as it is besides Drop Tower at KI (315 ft tall, 260 ft drop, 68 MPH).

[coasterfreak101Gimme Some Candy!]

Yeah, I've never found a tower more intense than Drop Zone. I hear that the older-generation Intamins with the four-person cars are better, like Blue Fall over at Ocean Park. Lex Luthor at SFMM will probably outdo Drop Zone, not only because of the height but also because it's closer to the older-generation drop towers than the new gyros. But for now, Drop Zone is still the only ride to consistently scare me and take my stomach for what feels like forever!

[bull24471This B&M donkey is so smooth!]

Great pics Coaster_Fanatic and as far as phones and pics that is all I been using.

[NozzyHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Are you saying the sudden drop itself at the top is weak? That's just gravity, not sure if you're used to TurboDrops or something. It's definitely among the top drop rides I've been on.

Got board so thought I post this Video of The Crypt I shot with my Cell Phone.....
