Maybe they could somehow make another stand up coaster like King cobra? Like I mean a lot of people seemed to like king cobra and it'd be something different. I'm guessing it'd be very expensive though so I dunno

Six Flags unveils The Riddler Mindbender roller coaster It's pretty cool to see a park invest in an old steel coaster.

Okay. They released the actual thing: https://qr1.be/3GCN?fbclid=IwAR3ALSFDH90YqpVna2FWkIAfDUebTo7lenUYRLj0hQZFqVqdwYPzjSoTUR0

Absolutely not. I've ridden 2 standups Mantis and Vortex (Carowinds) and hated them both. They were so uncomfortable. I don't want one to be installed here.

In the last 20+ years, there have been 2 Stand up rollercoaster installed in parks. One is a clone of KI's King Cobra that was relocated from Canada's Wonderland to some park in Italy. The other was relocated from Kentucky (Chang) to Six Flag's great Adventure. The odds of a completely new one (or even a relocated one) being installed at KI is very, very small. Heck, I'd say the odds of a new one being installed anywhere as very, very small, and a relocated one being only a tad less small.

Stand ups also have slow load times due to the seat adjustments. Even Vortex at Carowinds with only 24 riders/train took a while to dispatch.

Unless there is a major redesign for stand up coasters, the odds of a new one are unlikely.

Avalanche at Kings Dominion is an excellent ride. It’s a great coaster for those that don’t like drops and it’s still thrilling with its high banked turns. It’s also fast loading. A longer version with more trains would be a good capability ride.

At least they learned and will have Haunt at night LOL. I was half expecting Haunt from 4pm to 7pm

I sure AF hope not.

As embarrassing as it is to say, I have a crush on the alien leader from Flight of Fear (thanks to Jim Cummings' wonderful voice acting.) I would like to know if anyone has made up a name for him that I could use. Adam Bezark, who also wrote the T2 3D attraction at Universal, wrote the script to FoF back in its Outer Limits days, and I don't think he gave a name to the alien leader. I've reached out to him on his YouTube channel and hopefully I'll get a response. I also wanna know a few more things about him. Is he a hero or a villain? Or just an anti-hero? His lines in the stations imply he's either a villain or an anti-hero. ("How naive!") We also don't see a lot of his personality, other than the fact that he's fascinated by how we're studying his race. The main thing I wanna know is what he looks like. He probably looks like Orthopox from Destroy All Humans! but more... ya know... humanoid. IDK, just me. One of the earliest bits I've come up with for my forthcoming MCU level of lore surrounding him and the ride is that his planet has something akin to social security on Earth, and he controls the district that handles "social insurance" for survivors and retired soldiers. (Disabilities do not exist in aliens.) The numbers that are given out to these survivors and retired soldiers can then be used to track them and let them know when to pay their taxes. The alien leader has a... uh... fetish for, uh, giving them out (taken from an ElToroRyan video; it makes sense in context.) So yes, he does have a sense of humor too. In order to flesh out my lore more, I've been coming up with a playlist called "Flight of Fear: The Album" which would be a compilation of music suiting the ride that Paramount would put out in the late '90s in KI's gift shops. Including Pantera, Moloko, and more industrial/D&B/techno artists. That's all I have to say... peace...

I would love if Diamondback got ANY theming because all it has now is the sign and the train front
