I'm glad that CF is going to take steps to increase Volcano's capacity. It's a unique ride. Hell, I'd be happy if they clean that station--it's mighty dusty in there.

There was never any validity to start with.

Good point.

Remember this is still just a rumor but atleast this is a strong rumor. I really hope this happens as the line is a huge problem.

This is just an Intamin Gyro Drop being inferior to Second-Generation offerings. They look neat with all the spinning and such, but that's about it.

This is so I can post online and impress other people who are very good at procuring unfamiliar children in order to go on rides designed for children, and thus have a higher arbitrary number than me."

^Too bad Kings Dominion's doesn't spin like Kings Island's! I do like the spinning on KI's and on Mach Tower at BGW, it's cool to be able to see the entire park disappear beneath you instead of just a slice depending on your luck.

Awesome, can't wait to see the new station happen. I have a ton of friends who prefer Volcano over Intimidator but I hate the lines for it, hopefully this can do something to improve it, and I definitely agree with Chuck- I can't think of a dustier station (and queue).

This is great news for Kings Dominion fans! I hope that they redo that whole bottom area because it is a bit claustrophobic and difficult to get to the front of the train if it is crowded.

^^^ I feel like you get a much better sense of height only facing one direction slowly disappearing beneath you... or atleast that's my opinion. I used to wonder what it would be like spinning just for the feeling, until Windseeker came to the park. Now I'm really glad it doesn't spin so the way up on the 300'+ towers are completely different experiences.
