Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Sounds good,perhaps the reason northside was closed was related to the work they're doing over by rock shop that I mentioned earlier?

Grizz is running the best it's ever been in the 30 years since it debutted,I havn't ridden southside rebel yell yet this year though but northside's retracking really smoothened it out.

Yeah, the retracking entering the tunnel on Grizzly has done WONDERS for it being more enjoyable. It was always one of the top rides there, in my opinion, but lessening that jolt to the left was a great decision!

[bull24471This B&M donkey is so smooth!]

Appaerently I am a goober non picture taker only got a few pics in plus seems every time I go to the park my phone does a update and drains the Battery. Not to worry Friday next week I am getting a new Camera that is water proof/ Resistant .

Amen to that.

I was suprised by how smooth that section has been this year & it makes it so I can actually enjoy multiple night rides without having to call it quits early because of all the laterals in the ride,now if it weren't for my GF refusing to ride as much at night I could stay on longer but hate to keep her waiting so I still have to cut mynight rides a bit short.

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

I heard on another KD board that a crane was spotted behind rock shop,I'll take a look at it on saturday while on windseeker & or americana.What with CP being pretty much confirmed to be getting a wingrider it makes me wonder if that'll also be KD's next coaster?

As much as I would love to see another B&M at Kings Dominion, I don't see it happening. KD just got a $25 million (I think?) giga coaster 2 years ago, so I wouldn't think they would spend too much money on a new B&M. And there isn't anywhere to put a coaster in that section of the grove unless they tore out Rebel Yell or something .

Edit:Finally home from my trip to KD saturday.The funniest thing happened on ricochet as my GF & I were riding when her cell ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings & she takes it out & answers it!!I so wish I had a camera to photograph the event as I'm suprised she managed to hold on to it for the rest of the ride but of course I was on the ride with her at the time.

Due to construction on 95 northbound I didn't get home till 3 am & speaking of construction....it looks to me like the work going on near rock shop might be for a food or info stand as the perimeter has been established & it's not a FL path for Ricochet & seems too small to be for a flat ride of any kind.

Sorry for the double post but I'll just bump the thread up.

[T-BONDIcoasterkidI wrote the book about donkeys!]

As much as I would LOVE a new coaster, I don't think it is going to happen. We just got a brand spankin new Intamin giga coaster.

Yeah....going on 3 years ago.

Things were pretty busy yesterday but the funniest thing that happen was on ricochet,my GF & I were riding & she gets a call on her cell halfway through & was actually talking on the phone for the remainder of the ride!!I was right there next to her when it happened so I'm not making it up.

I didn't get home till 3 am this morning thanks to the darn construction on 95 northbound,they had both the left & center lanes closed for repaving work so there was a huge bottleneck trying to get through so a word of advice is that if you're from the DC/mtro region avoid 95 northbound from KD like the plaugeor take route 1 or route 17 from Fredericksburg as an alternate to bypass that mess.

Does anyone know if the star trek theme plays on windseeker? during our ride it seemed like that was the track that was playing but I can't quite put my finger on it for sure.

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

^ A cell phone is a loose article... She shouldn't have had it out on Ricochet.

And how's the minor construction going next to Rock Shop?
