Eric and Candace's East Coast Trip Photo TR

Huge Hummel Boy thanks you for your support--but he would prefer cash next time.

Dominator is definitely a diamond in the rough at KD, a park that has lost a lot of its charm over the years. I think Drop Tower has had consistently poor operations all season, while coaster operations tend to vary. Spring is the time to visit this park--it's at its best early in the season.

Great TRs! I enjoyed going through all of them. It makes me miss BGE, I really enjoyed the park, probably alot more than I do the one over here. I had no idea they trimmed Big Bad Wolf's drop now! Thats dissapointing...

I can see how you wouldn't think much of Hurler, I don't remember it at King's Dominion since it was so long ago, but it was horrid at Carowinds. As for Dominator, are they really going to keep the loop a different color? Seems odd...

Overall thanks for sharing! I enjoyed them, just make sure to get some more awesome shots of Volcano next time. (just kidding)

[willh51I know more about donkeys than women!]

Surprised at all the negativity toward Kings Dominion. I live half-way between it and Carowinds and had a season pass in 2007. I have always enjoyed the park on my visits and have often been able to marathon the coasters. Volcano is incredible and I think Grizzly is vastly underrated. I didn't actually get out this season because of several weekends of bad weather ruining plans to go, but I can't wait to try Dominator next season.

While I can understand them saying they were in the league of Busch Gardens was not accurate, I think the park is a nice, regional amusement park.

And now that the POS Hypersonic is gone...

Thank you much for all the rapids shots

Your welcome! Thought maybe those shots were going to go to waste. Glad I resurrected this thing so you could see them.

I'd figured he was more of a "bribe me with food" kind of guy. Send my regards for me.

Glad you enjoyed it! We did get more shots of Volcano, but they were all pretty much the same shot at various zooms.

Hope you and Candace/ Mommy to be are doing well.

Candace is doing great. We find out if it is a boy or girl on Monday!

Thanks for all the responses so far.

Good to see this thread still alive, good to hear everything's going well for you guys.

I really miss this trip

I see that I am not the only one who thinks that Hurler is one of the worst coasters ever. Yeah, I might be getting old, but sheer pain on a coaster to me is not very fun. Had a similar issue on the racing one as well. Not too bad in the front seat, but ohhhhh....stay away from that back seat!!!!


Nice TR - loved the chiropractor references to their ultra-crap collection of wooden coasters!

[odene497I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

"We have no fast pass system."

"Have some walk-on Wednesday tickets!"

And then we all use them on the same ride at the same time and the GP gets mad and the ride-op doesn't know what to do. Ahhh fun.

That was easily the best moment of the Dominion day!

[JakizleI had sex with N-Tag before you did.]

Are you guys talking about using them for Drop Zone? (I refuse to call it drop tower). We basically just walked through the exit as people were leaving a took our seats without even giving the ops are tickets...they just like stood there and started at us!

But KD had like no atmosphere, at all. The only highlights for me were Volcano, Hurler, and even Stunt Coaster. I was let down by Dominator a lot.

Nice photos though, can't wait for the next installment!
