Rainstormdx Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I was looking at images on the official KI website when I noticed something a little.. Strange on the image used for Backlot Stunt Coaster. Look closely at the front of the carts in the image below. That's right. The logo on the cart clearly reads "Kings Dominion", and you can definitely see the logo for another KD ride in the background. Don't believe me? See for yourself!: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/rides/backlot-stunt-coaster Looks like an admin for the site must've gotten the images for KI and KD mixed up. Oh well, they are very similar! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRickster Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 This stuff happens all the time, including commercials. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's called stock photos. Corporate websites use them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 See also this postcard, purchased at the park in 1993. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Wow, Backlot is super close to Anaconda's entrance! -MDMC, who hasn't been to KD since 2001, and recalls Diamond Falls (where KD's Backlot is being now) possibly being closed (or maybe just not operating in the time span that I was in Cong... er, Safari Village). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually noticed that the BLSC sign is just in better shape than KI too. That's what gave it away to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Which is ironic considering the Ki version has more effects than kd working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Only enthusiasts are going to notice the difference. As far as Anaconda in the back, GP might think it is Vortex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The examples here don't bother me at all as they are still a good representation of the attractions at the park. However SIX routinely uses stock photos of coasters in park specific emails and other advertisements and the type of coaster shown does not exist at that park. That bugs me.

Sythe Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Which is ironic considering the Ki version has more effects than kd working. Actually both of them have about the same amount of effects working.Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
