I would go on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday I'd wait to see if you need a Fast Lane pass or not, it really depends on how long you can tolerate being in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperGTS500 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Prefer nothing more than half hour and do want to ride I305 like 5-10 times! Does the park usually thin out a few hour before it closes (8pm)? Since I have a platinum pass, I could go sat eve and sun morning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOFanatic Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think Kings Dominion is officially the new Six Flags America. Please not this again... I hope you're trolling. But I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't. Â Look, I know it's disheartening to realize that your home park isn't a giant mega-park like Cedar Point or Kings Island, but it is something you have to accept. I'd be feeling blessed that you even got a giga coaster. KD has lowered in status since then though. I'd say KD is now on the same level as WoF, DP, and VF in terms of expansions.

jarmor Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Geesh! How about this, name a year the park went with a new attraction/major upgrade before you can say how neglected the park is. I'm waiting. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think Kings Dominion is officially the new Six Flags America. Â Kings Dominion has trees, bathrooms and paint. They win by default. Also Kings Dominion is underrated in terms of aesthetics in general. It's a beautiful park. Six Flags America is ugly as sin. The rides are obviously much better at KD too. Both coaster-wise and otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to Kings Dominion yet, but this post doesn't make any sense. Can anyone explain what Kings Dominion has to do with Six Flags America? Â That's because it doesn't make much sense. The poster is saying that KD is to Cedar Fair what SFA is to Six Flags--that is, a neglected park because it hasn't received a major new ride (meaning "coaster") for some time. Â At least that's how I interpret it. Edited April 25, 2016 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Theme Parks. Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 A park that just got a giant frisbee, which is one of the greatest flat rides of all time, and has put a lot of work in the past few seasons to add charm and nice landscaping doesn't sound like a "neglected" park. There is more to a good park than just coasters, flat rides and atmosphere are almost as important in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â At least that's how I interpret it. Funny thing is despite the neglect SFA has received new coasters more recently than other Six Flags parks like St.Louis, Great Escape and La Ronde. I mean true, both coasters were hand-me-downs from Great America but they still count as new additions. Â And why should coasters be the only new additions that matter anyway? More flats, water park and kid section expansions are just as important in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't mean in quality, but in where corporate views the park among their other assets. Yeah they're still nowhere near comparable. Sure SFA has two (especially crappy) relocated old coasters since Kings Dominion built I-305, but quality over quantity my friend. Cedar Fair poured some good money into WaterWorks WaterCity SoakLand whatever, as well as two major new thrill rides that equal the investment of a small coaster each, and a massive kiddie ride expansion/major park enhancements on top of that. Look at the big picture and then tell me Cedar Fair is "forgetting" Kings Dominion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the big picture and then tell me Cedar Fair is "forgetting" Kings Dominion. This. While I'm disappointed KD hasn't received a coaster in a long time, I can accept and understand why it hasn't, and I can also appreciate what CF has done for the park. I'd much rather have a good coaster come to us in a couple years than get a crappy one right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
