Crisp shot, did you need special approval assuming this was from a drone?

Boy your arms must be tired

I would to fly over the park but I didn’t get approval. I flew it from meadow event park up to the tree line. I assumed it would be fine since the park is closed.

Crazy the land that this coaster sits on was once inhabited by lions, giraffes, elehpants, etc of Lion Country Safari in the 70s to early 90s.

I'm going next week!

I'm already enjoying roller coasters at r/buschgardens (sorry about the shameless plug)

I loved the monorail! It was a great way to cool off on a hot day.

Speaking of roller coasters, just a friendly bit of history that Fabio lost a fight to a goose on Apollo's Chariot on this day 24 years ago!

Mannn I only went to Kings Dominion once but we rode Intimidator 305 and at the bottom of the first drop into a hard turn, I blacked out - lost vision for the first 15 seconds of the ride or so. Was simultaneously terrified and wildly pumped.

I heard those things are awfully loud.

Oh this is an excellent memory, I feel like it was just yesterday! Front row or bust on Apollos, you’re just gonna get goosed sometimes.

Fun fact, they actually lowered the hill directly after the lift hill after its opening season because so many people were blacking out from the G-forces.

This is beautiful. If it had the KD logo it would look like a post card from the 90’s and I mean that in a good way.

It's been a long time since I was at King's Dominion -- is that red one the Intimidator?

Ready? I've been riding all year! Trying to avoid the crowds once the weather is consistently nice lol

Yep

Gonna need some Xanax before hitting that one

They actually modified the first turn because it was melting the trains polyurethane wheels!

Renewed my season pass at Christmas, went last saturday and got some time in on twisted timbers, racer, and anoconda.

Can't wait for the Grizzly retrack to open.

I sure am. I’ve ridden pretty much everything at BGW at this point, but I went to KD for the first time maybe 6 weeks ago when hardly anything was open. Twisted Timbers was insane. Super ready to ride their whole lineup

Yeah it's open year round now right? Is it just on the weekends?

All next week it's open for spring break. Then yeah, open just on weekends for a bit

very common. i never black out, but do grayout / tunnel vision. used to be able to ride I305 over and over, but now 1 trip and i'm good for the day.

the off season was mostly weekends, and only certain sections of the park. Dominator was the only real coaster operating until the actual season opened. nevermind i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about.

Twisted is so stupid good. Also excited for Griz.

Twisted Timbers was running as well!

It's wild. Both times I rode it I greyed-out at the bottom of the first hill. Also as I was walking towards the exit the train zoomed by overhead and someone's car keys came out and slammed into the grass not 20 feet from the pedestrian path. We were sufficiently intimidated.

omg! I don't think I have ridden it yet (it's been a long time). I remember the Flight of Fear (I called it the Flight of Head Trauma!) Both my friend and I had to sit down after that one!
