Does anyone know how I can buy or rent a copy of this movie? (Roller Coaster) Part of it was filmed at Kings Dominion in 1977 and I would like to watch it. All the local movie stores do not carry it. I also checked ebay at did not see it. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
It has been a rumer forever but according to this its true. I for one really enjoyed this ride. It's sad to see it go.

It is really nice to see this place finally getting some positive reviews. Everybody seems to have a problem with it in the Disney community. It's my favorite place to stay at WDW. Anyone taking a trip to WDW should consider the Contemporary Resort.
Kings Dominion was in such bad condition under Paramount I can't explain. Sure they have some good rides, but there is much much more to a park than rides. the general atmosphere is terrible, not to mention they did not clean the place, etc.
In one year what CF has done with KD is incredible.
Does anyone know what ride the "cars" or "Trains" are from before you enter the park. They are where the King Cobra trains were last year. I dont think they were SOB trains....... I dont know. Anybody?
thanks-
KI/KD fan
Of cource Walt Disney World.....but other than that Kings Dominion is my second favorite. I'll admit the park was a dump when Paramount was in control, but anyone who was there this year and last year would say Cedar Fair already has it looking much better. They have some great coasters (and most likley Dominator will be there next year considering its pieces are in the parking lot) And dont forget KD still has Flying Eagles and Antique Cars.
Seeing that many other Cedar Fair parks including Kings Dominion are calling their Halloween event Halloween Haunt I would not be suprised if KI gets this change. I was at Kings Dominion a few days ago and was very suprised when I saw the advertisments for Halloween Haunt. personally I do not like this change. fearfest was fine. Are they trying to make it appeal to families and younger kids more because Halloween Haunt just does not sound scary.
It seems like The Racer crew has not been very good this year. They are the slowest crew I have ever seen, I mean they just sit around and talk. Everytime I was on The Racer last season they were making the effort to race them, etc. This year they do not make any effort to race.
I agree it was a terrible decision to remove the Eagles and the Old Fashon Cars. I loved both of those rides and it makes no since why they decided to put the IJ:ST where it is. It looked so nice as you walked past the Eiffel Tower and came around the corner and saw the wooded antique cars track. As you walked further you came to the Flying Eagles. Now there is that pathedic coaster there. (IJ:ST)
