BeansproutMidget Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Crossing my fingers that its not a slingshot. Just give us the a Giant Disk/Frisbee what not, and let us anticipate 2017. *edit. Crosses fingers that it isn't KBF's Screamin' Swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILinator Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If knotts is indeed removing there ss, then I could see it landing at KD. They already whine about getting the relocated (but yet amazing) Dominator, so now they could whine about getting a relocated (but yet still very fun) Screaming Swing Wait a second... Do people at KD really whine about getting Dominator?!?! Because if so, that's crazy! I mean, whining about Thunderhawk at MiA is one thing, because at best, it's an "okay" coaster. But Dominator is an awesome coaster! I'd have a season pass for MiA if they'd have received that instead of Thunderhawk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I never have and welcomed it with open arms. Edit--Just noticed that we're on page 1305 of this thread and of course that reminded me of a certain sumpthin sumpthin that resides in Doswell.

Ranmann Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't see why people for cedar point are whining bout a push date. Cedar point gets rollercoaster out the tail. They just got gatekeeper and now they getting a dive coaster. It's been five years since we got anything and the ride we have lines are rarely long. Volcano line still.is long and they even change the line around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I305forever Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have a name about I305 and am writing on page 1305 in a thread that is just basically a crap ton of people praising I305 and threatening to beat up people who have different opinions than them. Yay for irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrachenfireOP Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Nothing about that is ironic. Interestingly, your post rolled over onto 1306 though, which is still not ironic, but according to Alanis Morissette it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm surprised so many people don't want a Screaming Swing. In spite of the usual upcharge, these rides are my favorite flat. I'm lucky that Morey's has one that ISN'T an upcharge, but I wish Great Adv had one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevinC049 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Frankly I think a SS SS would be awesome at KD, or a Frisbee. Something on the scale of black widows ride cycle. For KD I would want to see something with greater capacity than the swing from Knotts, and I'm sure we're all in agreement there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike541x Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've never been on a Screamin Swing, but they look like a lot of fun. I'm just not a fan of up-charge attractions, which I'm hoping this new ride won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyRush Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I doubt KD would make it an up charge ride since they already have Xtreme Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not a fan of up-charge attractions, which I'm hoping this new ride won't be. If you like airtime they are insanely fun. I don't mind that they are usually upcharge attractions, if they weren't the line would be eight hours long. Dorney only charges $2 for theirs which is not bad at all, considering Morey's used to be an upcharge - I think it was like $5 or $8, now you can use tickets like all the other rides and its now 8 tickets which works out to about $8. I love the ride so much I have no problem paying for it and would willingly pay extra if they ran a longer cycle for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I doubt KD would make it an up charge ride since they already have Xtreme Flyer Don't forget about Thunder Raceway (Go-Karts) and Dinosaurs Alive either. Anyways, they said... Something new is on the horizon… Tune in tomorrow morning for an exciting announcement! #KD2016 So we should be hearing something by noon! Also, today marks 6 years since Intimidator 305 was announced on August 20th, 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Before this gets lost 2016 discussion, I'm thinking of going for a 2016 platinum pass as they just went on sale. Concerning the free visit in 2015, are any discount friend tickets available for this visit? For example, utilizing a remaining 2015 discounted ticket. I'm not currently a CF passholder.

robbalvey Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) New at Kings Dominion in 2016! https://www.kingsdominion.com/what-s-new/delirium- Get ready to defy gravity on Kings Dominion’s new ride, Delirium. The thrill ride will be located in the Candy Apple Grove section of the park and is set to open in the spring of 2016. Delirium is a powerful, spinning pendulum on which 40 riders will be strapped into their seats, facing outward on a giant ring. As their feet dangle, they begin slowly swinging back and forth while the ring starts to rotate. The ride quickly gains momentum and before they know it, riders are getting swirling views of the park. On Delirium, guests soar to a height of 115 feet at a maximum arc angle of 120 degrees. Delirium will delight thrill seekers of all ages as they fly through the air, experiencing gravity defying hang time. “The addition of Delirium reflects our commitment to providing exciting and thrilling family experiences for our guests,” says Pat Jones, Vice President and General Manager of Kings Dominion. “We pride ourselves on being home to a variety of rides and attractions that offer something for all generations to enjoy. Delirium will make a great addition to our already thrilling collection of rides.” Park guests who want to be among the first to experience Kings Dominion’s newest addition can purchase a 2016 Kings Dominion Season Pass starting today. Passholders enjoy many benefits, including: Bring-A-Friend discounts, food and merchandise discounts, early access to select rides and Kings Dominion’s all-inclusive water park, Soak City. “Delirium” will begin delighting and disorienting riders in the spring of 2016 Edited August 20, 2015 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Forgive me as I'm not too familiar with these rides, but is this basically a clone of MaXair? If so thats awesome cause that ride was a pleasant surprise and kicked ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
