August 26, 201114 yr For those who didn't know Kings Dominion Busch Gardens Six Flags America and Six Flags Great Adventure are Closed this Weekend due to Hurricane Irene. Well done Cedar Fair and Six Flags and Busch for thinking of the Safety of you park Guests and Employees!! I have a few friends on a east coast coaster tour and had to reroute there trip due to Mother nature. For the KIC family if you have loved ones or family or friends that are on the east coast my hart goes out to all of you. Saty safe!! Free Admission to Hurricane Harbor any one.............. pkiboy who just had to:)
August 26, 201114 yr Thank goodness they made the wise choice. I hope that no one is killed during this, but it is not looking good.
August 26, 201114 yr I took the brunt of 4 major hurricanes in 2004when I lived in Florida. So I know exactly what they are dealing with. Mind you we never evacuated for any of the storms. We were hit with Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeane. Irene doesn't seem to pack the punch that these 4 did. But I'm still hoping everyone stays safe.
August 26, 201114 yr Carowinds is open, so if you are intimidated by the storm, you can ride the Intimidator.
August 26, 201114 yr Apparently the winds are only going to go up to about 85mph, but I guess it's the flooding that will make the hurricane a disaster? And, Carowinds is open because it's not on the coast....
August 27, 201114 yr Author Watching CNN in the 57 year history the NJ Garden state parkway is Free Tolls along with the Mass turnpike and NJ turnpike to so does this mean you can pump ur own gas in the State of NJ........ Side note Six Flags New Orleans closed 6 years ago tomorrow for Hurricane Katrina.Six Flags Great Adventure closes tomorrow for Hurricane Irene. creepy. Carowinds is farrrrr west of the storm so there in no thret. Kings Dominion is off of Highway 95 so anything thats near I 95 is shutdown!! Carowinds is off of I 77 so there a bit odd shall i say:)
August 27, 201114 yr This is a Category 2 hurricane hitting an area much less vulnerable than New Orleans. It will not destroy any amusement parks unless things change drastically.
August 27, 201114 yr (on a side note) after reading the topic of this title before entry; why did i wanna say "sorry folks, the park is closed; the moose out front shouldve told you..."
August 27, 201114 yr KD is only closed for today! Says the park will reopen tomorrow via kingsdominion.com.
