PKD4LIFE Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 On Saturday (7.2.05) we went to Paramount's Kings Dominion. We left our house around 2:45pm and arrived at the park around 3:30pm. Tagging along were my sister, my sisters friend, my dad, my step-mom and me. This was our 4th time going this year and once we arrived at the park I was impatient to get in. The parking lot was filled up and we had to park way in the back of the parking lot with a 10min walk to the main enterance. So we went through the metal detectors and were in. Then we walked to the left side of International Street. Then we went to a stall called name on a grain of rice and they made my step-moms name on a grain of ride and put it in a small tiny glass that made the name appear larger with decoratives on the rice inside the tiny glass. It was a nek-ko-las. Then I got impacient and asked my sister Emily, and Jordan to go up the Eiffel Tower and so we did. We went on and my sisters friend was affrid to go up because she was affrid of very high heights but we forced her to come up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then we got in the elevator and it started lifting up and we got to the top. The view of the park was fantastic while Jordan was holding on to the side of the walls at the top waiting for the elevator to come back up. Then we went back down and we went back down with wierd feeling slow drop back down. Then we were back on the ground. My rating: 10/10 for an elevator ride ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then the three of us walked into Kidzville and entered the Congo to go ride Tomb Raider: Firefall. We waited in about a 30min line before getting on the ride. Then we got on the front side and the floor starts dropping. The erie music starts druming and pounding then the music changes and we started to lift up then 'click' the ride gondola locked at the top and towed us upsidedown at the bottom and went back mid way to the top and released and fliped two more times and swinged back and forth back to the top. Every time the gondola is swinged forwards the vocalist in the music goes hom... hom and when the gondola swings towrds the back it goes haaa and it repeats and repeats till we get mid way to the top and then 'click' the gondola locks and ahhh we fall face first towrds a pit of fire burning towrds the gondola and plus you can feel that fire extremely hot making you sweat to death and then release and the swings back down and back up then 'click'... we lock again and get towed down backwards and again and release and flip 4 more times into the air. Then we swings back and forth to the top and stop at the top. Then we get lowered slowly back down and the music stops and the floor comes slowly back up. The the restraints are unlocked and we push the heavey restraints up for the next passengers. We leave it and then head to Avalanche. My rating: 9.9/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then we get to Avalanche and wait in a 10-15min line. Then we get on and then we head up the lift in each of our own individual cars. Then we get to the top and go slowly down a hill and then the train is tossed to the right as we do a double helix and catch speed at the bottom of the helix and we go back up from the helix and we get tossed to the left and tossed to the right while going back up into a weak break run. The the train makes a U-turn to the left and we get tossed to the right and then make another U-turn and tossed to the left then another U-turn tossed to the right and we did catch speed through every U-turn then the ride makes a downward helix and get tossed to the left as we catch speeds up to 40mph then we get out the helix and make our left turn and the car is tossed with extreme force to the right and hit the rails on the side while sideways on our ride and we make a quick U-turn into the break run. Then we go into the covered block breaks then go back into the station. My rating: 7.8/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next we found my dad and my step mom outside of Avalanche exit cave and then they told us they are now going to eat outside the park and then My sister Emily leaves to go eat with my step mom and my dad and now it was just me and my sisters freind Jordan and so I asked her wanna ride Anaconda and she said sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So we walked into Anaconda's line and we into the back row of the coaster with a 2 train wait. We got on and headed down a small dip and clink! The train catches the chain with loud clickity clacks up to the top and I talked about to view to her then we nearly reach the top and scince we were in the last row in the back car the train gets to the top and the last few cars are jerked fast of the lift and we drop with a turn and then the person in front of me had his hat fly off his head at the bottom of the drop and hit my face and luckly fell on the cars floors as the pictures flashed and we get swallowed under an underwater tunnel and spited back out into a 100ft vertical loop and then a 90ft sidewinder and guess what... the hat didn't fall in the inversions then we go up and turn to the right into the safety breaks. Then the train drops slanted to he left and we go back up then the train roars down the head banging hill and didn't ever hurt and went back up and turned for 7seconds then the two corkscrews show up and we roll into the very slowly and and the hat still didn't fly out. Then we went up a bunny hill and droped and go back up an airtime hill and into the final break run. and stop. Then the person in front of me said I lost my hat and I said its right here and I handed to him when we got back in the station. Then we exited Anaconda and checked fof's line. It was filled and I said too long so we headed to Rebel Yell Backwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok... I'll finish the trip report now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next ride we went on was Rebel Yell Backwards. The line was long except one of the rows so we got in there and then we locked our restraints and buckeled our safety belts and we were off The ride jerked backwards and turned to the right and went diagonaly towrds the forwards track and then took a turn and headed uphill. The chain grabed the train and then at the top and scince we were in the back car the train jurked really fast upwards and then headed down and then went on two small cammel back hills and then a big cammel back hill then another small cammel back hill then raced up high and made a u turn to the left and then it went back down hill diagonaly and then stightend up and did 4 more cammel back hills and went into a long tunnel and into the break run and headed back into the station. My rating: 7.4/10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll once again finish later because I have a stomach ache right now.

Reclaimer Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Sooo....This is in the Paramount's Kings Island --> Trip Reports section? We do have another forum called "Other Parks" that is meant for these kings of things...and while I don't want to be rude, or be known as a forum Nazi, it does kind of annoy me to see this, considering there are also two topics on the front page with the same exact name. No worries, though. I'm not a hater...just pointing this out for next time 'round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those Cedar Point, Dorney Park and all those out of pki trip report. I agree with you. Yes we may be a Kings Island fan site but we dont have to be an about it and say it's only to talk about PKI. Let him talk about his time at PKD. PKD4LIFE, you are welcome here to talk about PKD however you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
