Kings Dominion's Park Map Gets Worse

[bkroz]

2013 – Last year's park map at Kings Dominion was a horrible hodge-podge of words with almost no value in terms of actually navigating. Of course, in typical Cedar Fair style the densely forested park was also drawn as if it was in a wide open field.

2014 – This year for seemingly no reason they did re-draw the map from scratch, making it even less realistic and showing the park from some really awkward extreme angle that's looking directly down on the park. WindSeeker looks like a carousel. All labels have been taken off the map and moved to the side where you can only locate attractions by quadrants on the map, but now the park looks like it has even LESS foliage. Easier to navigate for sure since you can actually see the path, but still odd.

I don't know. For those of us who enjoy collecting park maps, Kings Dominion's has always been so laughably awkward and awful, and for them to bother to re-draw it this year but make it even WORSE is sort of hilarious.

It doesn't help that that's an odd park to navigate to start with (with Six Flags America being even worse--I once had to ask a guard to please take me to the exit).

The only experiences I've had with odd navigation of a park did not relate to the park as a whole, but particular rides. Finding the entrance to Blue Streak was a chore (seriously, the exit is where the entrance should be, and vice versa!). I also had quite a bit of trouble finding Carowinds' Vortex the first time I wanted to ride it.

The entrance did use to be where the exit currently is, sort of. The exit has not moved in it's 50 years of operation, but the original entrance was next to it and went to the original loading platform. In 1995 she was modernized and the platform consolidated into the current set up.

Man I gotta get back to KD, haven't been since they added (stole) Dominator and I305
