Kings Dominion 2021 Discussion
ThrillKingsFitzy replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I thought I read closed for good, I was like jeez Kings Dominion, you really are Kings Island's sister park closing coasters left and right out of nowhere. -
It didn't break the record for steepest drop, that goes to the classic Gerstlauer Eurofighters like Speed: No Limits at Oakwood and Vild-Svinet at BonBon-Land. However, it was supposed to break the record for fastest inversion but that heartline roll got removed for too many G's that caused stress on the trains and the riders.

If you don't know what Scandia Screamer is, it is E&F Miler's largest coaster and was very well received for its drops and airtime. It was closed down with it's park, Scandia, and people were very upset about it. We just got news that a new park in Texas called Trader's Village has bought Scandia Screamer as it's main attraction and it will be renamed Prairie Screamer! Here is the video for more info:

I would like to point out one thing. Most people, and I mean like 95% of people, don't go to Cedar Point for the flat rides or the shows. They go for the coasters. Even the general public knows that Cedar Point is roller coaster paradise and that if you go, you better be going for the coasters. Plus, CP is known to open only record breaking attractions. Name one coaster at CP that isn't a family coaster that didn't break a record when it opened. It just makes perfect sense for CP to get this. If they are going to get a record breaker, they are either going for steepest or most inversions. I could see both to be honest.

Most Painful Rides by Manufacturer
ThrillKingsFitzy replied to rlentless's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Yeah I'm not on that train of the most painful being Banshee. I'm only 5 foot 7 inches and I'm skinny. I have never had any problems with really any roughness on any coaster besides Beast. -

Worst vekoma coaster I've ridden is Roller Skater. Roller Skater is a rough ride but its for families, what do you expect? That also tells you how measly my coaster count is . Worst Zamperla I've ridden is Southern Express at OWA, but that is also a kiddie coaster. No, I don't think Rollin' Thunder is bad, it is in my top 5. -

If we are counting The Beast as a dinn, that would be my pick -
Ooooooohhh, got it. I'll have to think about that for a little bit.
