Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

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

I got 31 rides on Intimidator with the longest a 2 train wait!

SO JEALOUS. My visit on Saturday 4/7 I rode it 9 times in a row with walk-ons at first, but then the line got up to about a 5 train wait, so I decided to go get a ride on Windseeker before the crowds really started to come in (the park eventually got packed like the previous day).

Still, 10 rides over 2 days on Intimidator 305 is a great way to kick off my 2012 coaster season!

I am jealous of both you I tried the test seat and no green light for me..

[KDCOASTERFANI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Saw the coastercrew update on facebook for tonight's in the loop podcast just now & they say there's big news concerning volcano that will be revealed in tonight's show.

[eddie200330"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

Volcano will be shutting down late summer for a total station refurb. Adding 3rd train and dual loading/unloading to speed capacity.

^ For a source to what he just said... In The Loop Rebooted Podcast - Clint Novak

Very excited about this!

Also, rumor has it on Saturday KD "hole punched" your Fast Lane wrist band once you rode Volcano which only allowed you to ride it once using the Fast Lane pass... -according to somebody on the park's Facebook

Do we know how late in summer? I will be making my first trip to the park in early July, so hopefull the ride won't be closed by then.

They didn't really say a date. They hoped it wouldn't affect their coaster tour with KD/BG.

[KingB24What's with the donkeys anyway?]

I think this is a fantastic move on Kings Dominion's part. The wait times for Volcano can grow tediously long, no matter what time of year it is.
