August 8, 200521 yr Is Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion any different than Flight of Fear at Kings Island?
August 8, 200521 yr Nope, it is no different. Same exact ride. When PKI was running Flight of Fear a couple years ago without the midcourse break it was different because PKD has always had that on. When PKI retrofitted FoF to the lap bars, the first couple of seasons they were running it wide open, without the trims on. Then I think last year they turned them back on.
August 8, 200521 yr From what my friend has told me, the theming on the one at PKD has gone even further downhill than PKI's.
August 9, 200521 yr I was there in 03 and it looked good to me, It was cleaner than PKI FOF at that time.
August 9, 200521 yr The lights in PKD's load station are also a lot brighter than PKI's. Makes it seem more like a warehouse than the inside of a UFO.
August 9, 200521 yr I really dont know and really its the smae ride cpet for soem dirt and working theming.
August 9, 200521 yr Which one is better? pki`s fof or pkd`s fof? I hear that both PKI's and PKD's FOF's will be rethemed in due time.
August 9, 200521 yr FoF at PKI is the better of the 2 I only say that because I know inside information about both rides.
August 9, 200521 yr Which one is better? pki`s fof or pkd`s fof? I hear that both PKI's and PKD's FOF's will be rethemed in due time. Rumors, all rumors. The only way they will change FOF is by removing it. I doubt very seriously that they will change the ride theme of the two rides.

The only way they will change FOF is by removing it. I doubt very seriously that they will change the ride theme of the two rides. Flight of Fear was themed to the Outer Limits in which Paramount no longer has rights to expect both FOF's at PKI and PKD to be rethemed in the near future.
August 9, 200521 yr The current theme of the Flight of Fear rides is that you are entering a space ship that will take you out of this world. The name was Outer Limits, and the show was changed a little, but the theme is not just about Outer Limits. Outer Limits was a sci-fi TV show that had different stories and some of it dealt with alieans. No where does it have to do with the Flight of Fear theme. So, PKI and PKD has no need to change the themes. By changing the themes, you are ruining the ride!
August 9, 200521 yr Yes, it was called The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear. But eveyone knew it as The Outer Limits.
August 10, 200521 yr wow i just found my ride photo of when it first opened with those restraints that bounced your head back and forth
August 11, 200521 yr Author I wish the pki site would change the photo because it still show the shoulder harnesses!
August 12, 200521 yr Author On the pki websight it has Top Gun with red track. pki.com needs to update their photos!
August 13, 200521 yr On the pki websight it has Top Gun with red track. Don't let the managers hear you say it use to be red, our crew got that marked off on the rides guru in 2002, we said red, they said it use to be orange.
August 13, 200521 yr It's supposed to look like an aircraft carrier. Yeah, its supposed to look like an aircraft carrier, you know cause all aircraft carriers have track built over them that carry the planes!
August 13, 200521 yr Don't let the managers hear you say it use to be red, our crew got that marked off on the rides guru in 2002, we said red, they said it use to be orange. I am confused
August 13, 200521 yr PKD & PKI's FoF are exatly the same. As far as the themeing goes, PKD's is lacking more than PKI's, but PKI's is in terrible shape as well. I made my second trip to PKD on June 29th, and I was again disappointed. The park just seems like it was thrown together. It is dirty- and I am comparing it to Hershey Park & BGW, I went to all 3 parks on the same trip. I am a die-hard park fan, and PKD is the only park that my wife and I have left early (6:00pm) by our own choice. We actually went back to BGW since we had free tickets. The Rockin' Rollercoaster at Disney-MGM is also like FoF.
August 13, 200521 yr It's supposed to look like an aircraft carrier. Yeah, its supposed to look like an aircraft carrier, you know cause all aircraft carriers have track built over them that carry the planes! You realize that that reasoning would destroy the point of all theming on every themed ride.
August 27, 200520 yr Well... pkd is a "dirty" park if you know what I mean. There are alot of gehtoo people here in Virginia and alot of gehtoo people go to pkd and mess it up. You should see the que lines. In EVERY que line there are markings all over the place. Even Tomb Raider is starting to get marked all over. It seems like alot of people from outside Virginia tell me VA is in the gehtoo and it is. Can't do anything about. Gehtoo people trash our park! I have seen more than 2 fight happen at pkd this year with 5 visits total! But to bad I forgot to camcord it because I was trying to see it. Some videos of the park are on my site. Just click here.
