Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Volcano has far fewer problems now than it did when they first opened it--and it is unique.

I wonder how long it's gonna be till the park gets tired of these rollbacks on volcano & decides to just replace the ride alltogether?

All launch rides rollback... Volcano is easily the most popular ride in the park. The park is going to keep it around as long as possible and might even re-configure the station soon due to its popularity.

We all know you hate the ride, want it to be removed, and want a B&M invert.

Yup. The thing draws the longest lines in the park (and still will with a reconfigured station, I can almost guarantee it). It's one-of-a-kind, and doesn't have excessive problems at all nowadays.

I'm assuming you expect Cedar Point and Great Adventure to get rid of their rides that are prone to rollbacks? What a waste of $25 million for a ride that rolls back on occasion.

You don't even want to know the kind of crazy stuff you see inside Smurf Mountain!

Speaking of smurfs did anyone notice that they're selling smurf plushies in the shops along I-street? Seems like after 30 years they're making a real comeback.

I still don't understand why you hate Volcano so much...

I may be heading to the park for a few hours later today or Wednesday. Let's hope for light(ish?) crowds.

Actually it would be quite interesting to have a walk through during non business hours.......perhaps ECB could get lucky!

I'm hitting the park this saturday, do you guys want a Photo TR?

Smurf Hell?

Found an interesting conceptual planning map over on KDGY's facebook page...the park would've looked somewhat different especially on the west side had paramount followed through with it.

I'm going to Kings Dominion this Saturday. With a chance of Isolated T-Storms and hot weather, how long can I expect the lines to be?

The longest we waited for rides was on backlot,FOF & shockwave out of the rides ridden last saturday.

Seems like wave swinger has been added to fastlane & I'm like "wtf?" the ride never generates a line long enough to need it and is usually at most just a one cycle wait.
