kissorkill2night Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Its good to know that Cedar Fair is going to try to keep the park clean paramount never cared. I HOPE they take MAJOR control in the line cutting situation...its HORRIBLE at KD during the summer..its ALWAYS black people too [no offense to anyone] but it just pisses me off so i really want them to take no line cutting more serious like they do at CP..and i want to see the park turn into a smoke free park like BGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^^KD's security was taking line cutting pretty seriously during Fearfest last October--I saw quite a few people get booted (or forced to go back to the beginning of the line) at the mazes.

kissorkill2night Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 That is true. They need atleast one on every big ride [Hypersonic,Volcano,Dropzone,FOF,Italian Job] and they should set up stations like they have at CP where workers are scattered throughout the line and they rotate every 30 minutes or something like that. Its just rude cutting people, i always want to say something but all they ever want to do is start shit. One time on the hurler me and my friends wanted to go together and there was these black people behind us that wanted to go with there friends, so since they didn't want to go in front they decided to give us an attitude about leaving our row open cause they had to wait a whole extra train. They're so damn obnoxious,rude,and disresptful its ridiculous. I hope CF takes control of KD big time so it doesn't turn into a dumpy park like 6 flags in MD.

DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 $7.39 for a small slice of pizza and a soda? Wow, that's almost as bad as SF's pricing for food. at least there the Pizza is warm, at Busch Gardens all the "warm food" is freezing, and you get a small frozen pizza, a decent drink, and decent fries for about $13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Loopy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I had to catch a quick shot on opening day... As for the music, we went back on Sunday and spent about an hour and a half in the park before we decided we couldn't take the same thing over and over anymore. Got in the car and drove 6 hours back home with complete silence almost the whole way. This was at approximately 9:49 A.M. opening day. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh?

cfc Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 ^Now that's funny! And welcome to TPR. Too bad they couldn't have done the same with the "poo" sign by Tomb Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Loopy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thanks for the welcoming! As if the poor guy trying to get the sticker on the can wasn't bad enough, he had to put up with those kids throwing stuff away while he was doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffon Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 ^^I'm glad someone got a picture of that signage for the record I went to the park to get my pass processed this morning, and jumped on a couple rides before heading out. Coasters in 40 degree weather are not too amusing, but... I did find some amusement in the gift shops today. Apparently this merchandise has been around for a while, but I never noticed them before and found it all rather strange being in a Cedar Fair park now. Take that photo boy... your image number is 5780. Please remember to view your photo on the internet after you get off work Back of the Media Day T-Shirt. They must have dug up some old boxes and just threw whatever was left out in the gift shops. And now... the diamond in the rough... A 1998 Volcano Media Day T-Shirt for $4.76 - Score! For that price, I was enough of a nerd to buy one. Can't afford to loose out on profits from the huge Soap Opera enthusiast market I swear I've seen something very similar to this before. *scratches head* Can't think of where it might have been... Can anyone give me one good reason why someone would buy one of these? Just one... I've seen these shirts in Trip Reports from Carowinds, but I was shocked to see them at KD too!

Super Loopy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hahaha! I actually bought one of those Volcano shirts at the end of last season. How can you pass up something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Well, it's either sell the old inventory or toss it, I guess. Actually, they've been peddling those Top Gun shirts for years--to tie in to the Paramount movie, not necessarily the ride (at least that's my theory). I wonder if they'll steal BGE's "Defy the Five" slogan next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather forecast isn't looking so good right now... Upper 50's with a 50% chance of rain Does anyone know what rides they shut down during rain? I haven't been there during rain in a very long time.

kissorkill2night Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If the rain is strong enough i know they shut down FOF,Valcano,Hypersonic and dropzone. other than that i dont think they really shut rides down except for thunder/lighting. But this might of changed. so i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^^I think you'll be OK as long as there isn't any lightning. I've ridden Volcano and the flyers in the rain before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissorkill2night Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I just got home, today was a GREAT day at the park!Got there around 11, it wasn't raining much AT all, went up the eiffel tower to shoot a couple shots then came down. Walked right up to the stupid sponge bob ride,grizzly,hyper sonic,huler,richochet,rebel yell backwards and fowards,shockwave,italian job,andaconda,FOF,volcano,avalanche,tomb raider. There wasn't a wait any longer than 10 min all day[i had to wait about 10 min for hypersonic the 2nd time i rode it] sooo my ride count for the day Grizzly=3 times Hurler=1 time Ricochet=1 time Rebel Yell backwards 2 times Rebel Yell Foward 2 times Hyper sonic 3 times Drop zone 1 time Shockwave 2 times Tombraider 2 times volcano 5 times FOF 5 times Andaconda 3 times Italian Job 5 times Avalanche 2 times Scooby Doo dark ride 1 time Hypersonic was down for about 2 hours from like 4-6ish i guess?they were cycleing empty tains that whole time, im not sure what was wrong.I also noticed supivisors look alot more professional, they stand out more, i noticed they have to wear shirt and ties now.You can really tell they're understaffed, a few rides had maintnence and/or supivisors checking the restraints.Ride opps. were decent today i guess.I went to country kitchen and got a 3 piece chicken meal with mac and chees and mash w. gravy and a buiscuit for like 10$, it was DAMN good. such a good day ill have pics up when i upload them i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 ^Glad you had a good time. Your report shows two things, I think: 1. That spring is probably the best season to visit Kings Dominion2. A nor'easter is a great way to reduce crowds (the storm actually isn't hitting us until tomorrow, but the forecast may have scared people off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
