kings dominion new coaster in development
goofywdw replied to raptorcp21's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This is kind of disappointing but I'm still looking forward to how it is going to turn out. I am trying not to just judge the ride on the renderings but it is kinda hard. I'm not really a fan of the overhead lap bar. The quick turns can be a real pain in the neck.....omg I made a pun! Also, two trains? With today's technology of the duel loading station the only have two trains? The capacity is 300 riders short of Diamondback's capacity so not too sure what the line will look like there. Well I guess we will just have to wait and see how this goes. I wonder which giga will be on top Millie or Intimidator 305? -
Ya seen Flight of Fear's track, or some of BLSC's track? Some of those are worse than Flight Deck, by far! I would burn SoB (I said it!) and Thunder Alley and put a Maurer Sohne spinner in Thunder Alley's spot. Get a nice GCI for SoB's old spot, and put some TREES! in where the water tower is now. I agree, Thunder Alley has a great spot for something new.

I love you. I agree that Flight Deck is not going anywhere. It has great reliability and is a great starter for children beginning their journey on bigger coasters. So what if it hasn't had a paint job. Have you seen the inside of the break run tunnels on The Racer? That coaster could use some paint too and never has a long line but I don't see it gone in the near future.

Why is everything a negative sign. Why can't they be good things. Like maybe they are taking out the signs at the front of the entrance for good (like the Fun and Safety Guide Instructions) so they can replace them with new and improved signs. Maybe they are planning an extreme overhaul of the ride this winter and are giving the ride a whole new look! (Hey I can think happy if I want)
-
You know Drop Tower and Flight Deck are one crew so no wonder why you like the crew at both rides! I also love them (not just because I know a lot of them) but they are always fun no matter how much attention their ride gets.

I would really like to see that. Considering I was at Biggs Grocery Shopping and I didn't realize the time till 8:00. I wish I could do it tonight but I have to wake up for work at 6:30. Maybe when I get home.

That was very cool! My group of friends from work and I were sitting in the grass in front of International Showplace and could see the complete walk perfectly. I took a video of the whole thing which I will have to edit up later. I can't believe how fast he was walking towards the end right before he got to the tower. I was scared he was going to mess up right when he was almost done. I loved it though, thought it was a great event for the park.

I was riding in the front seat of Flight Deck when I noticed a golf ball sitting on the cage to the right when going up the lift hill. Not too sure why that would be there.

Actually you cannot work at all during the Haunt hours if you are under 16 because the laws prevent 15 year olds working past a certain time. No matter what job it is.
-
Due to minor labor laws only 16 year olds can work the Haunt. 15 year olds can only work Howl-O-Fest.

Why would it be hard? They put together almost all new coasters in the off season. First of all it is not the tallest in the world. Second of all even if it is going to be a Giga Coaster it will not take an extra long time. It is just going to take a lot of work and good planning. Well, tallest giga i meant. I know Diamondback was built that quick, but his seems like a much bigger project at KD. Millennium Force opened in May which was probably when the park first opened to the public for that operating season. Millennium Force and the Kings Dominion coaster are very similar projects. -

SOB's line was NOT used last year as a line for Club Blood. Just Flight Decks.

I'll still be in Admissions. But if they do the thing where the monsters all run out of the turnstiles on Fridays of the Haunt then I might be able to see some of you in costume!

Yesterday in line for Drop Tower a group of young teens were debating where The Racer was located. One pointed to Son of Beast but the other actually knew it was white. Another said it was at Six Flags. Another said it was still in there park but he didn't know where. I give him credit for actually knowing it was in the park.
-
I was nervous to watch as well but I saw a video of him during his Kings Dominion walk and he looked pretty good. I have faith in him and am definitely going into the park after work to watch!

I just hit my 70th tonight on Diamondback but I made it to 71 tonight. However, I also hit my 100th ride of the season on Flight Deck tonight!

Holiday World to get new ride in 2010?
goofywdw replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Not my idea but I someone told me they are hoping for a launched woodie. -
Didn't we say that after the LAST incident? Ok lets be fair. One more incident on Firehawk and it should be gone!!!!!! I know SOB has had more than one but the ride can be improved. Come on, all incidents are different. Don't be so ignorant.
-
I've heard this is one of the best nights to work. All of the guests actually respect the park and its workers more than when the park is open to the public.

I got 7 rides this year. Would have loved to have some late night rides during the Haunt like last year.
