Project 305 "nearing completion"...

[Oldiesmann]

Interesting cryptic post from Kings Dominion on Facebook earlier. Looks like we might finally get to see what they're doing with the coaster formerly known as I-305. https://www.facebook.com/kingsdominionva/posts/pfbid034hAEKUgWVJXEL3qDgrwwTswvXnpuAgmcYXcoRUijyrcUB54zrxBWE8eXG5RVDuoal

That would be hilarious LOL.

And please, if there is anything left sacred in this World, NOTHING with "Hawk" in the name like they were so fond of in the past!

I posted a picture of the repaint in the KD wing coaster thread, and its going to get orange track and black supports which leads me to believe it may be a tiger theme.

Seems like the Bengals coaster went to the wrong Kings park, lol

And they present to us: "TIGER HAWK!!!"

Any more updates from KD on Project 305?

Please let the new name be more convincing than Thunder Striker

Spoiler

Pantheon 305

 

[silver2005]

If true, did Dan Snyder return to Six Flags and is naming things as well as he named his former football team?

[johnjniehaus]

One of my friends suggested Ignition 305 which I personally would have totally been behind. Keep the race car theme and the abbreviation of I-305. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the new name as it's much too close to Pantheon as has been already pointed out. I understand they want to incorporate the ride into jungle expedition but gosh some of these new names for rollercoasters man I'm telling you. It's like comic book writers and preschool kids are naming the rollercoasters these days

 

Whatever happened to good coaster names like The Beast and Millennium Force?

FoF and BLSC really stick out now in Jungle X-pedition.

Kings Dominion's FB page did just like a random coaster fan page who posted the leak, so they might not be all that mad.

This isn't related to Project 305 but........

 

Flight of Fear is getting a repaint/retheme. It looks.............. off. 

[Oldiesmann]

I saw that. Going to be interesting to see what they do with that.

[johnjniehaus]

I actually love that. I've been saying they should do a camouflage color scheme on it and integrate it as a jungle base. Now the good ol junk yard coaster is the only ride that break the theming of the area...
