upstop Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Oh my gosh! According to the new map, there was no entrance to Vikings Fury last year! What does that mean? Did anyone ride it last year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is more likely the fireworks show, but I'd love to see mini shows happen hourly. We know there will be day time and night time set of shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yay! The outdated pedestals are going. The fountains at Kings Dominion and Canada’s Wonderland look cleaner with the jets coming out of the water. KIs seems it will be even better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I do not think that the pedestals were out dated. If true that they are going, I will be a little disappointed. They added a sense of elegance and grandeur to the fountains that I thought was lacking at both Kings Dominion and Canda`s Wonderland`s fountains. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial79 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The fountains at KD and CW look kind of boring to me, nothing to give it character. The pedestals do that at the KI fountains, and makes you feel like you at KI, fits perfectly for the theme of International Street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m okay with the pedestals going but I wouldn’t be thrilled if they painted the bottom black like KD’s. I think it looks kind of gross. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Why won't they show a live cam on international street yet? I want to see what it looks like for peeking purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on the other side of the building. (Where the other set of chairs are on the map.) I don't think there was anything other than tables in that spot before, so they corrected it for this year by putting the tables there instead. 13 hours ago, Shawn Meyer said: Why won't they show a live cam on international street yet?

You'll either have to go on opening day or wait for pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looks kind of gross. Fountains should be sky blue. KDs I Street is absolutely gorgeous with all the trees, landscaping islands and detailed buildings. But I agree. The water looks bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's an auction to be the person who gets to give it the first hit with the wrecking ball. I'll be saving up for that moment. I mean... [awkward cough] No, I don't have any ill will towards that ride left over from my ride op days. What do you mean? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the water is considered park of the braking system. It can run without water, but I don’t know if it has or if it even can with people on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
