Park Update: Kings Dominion

[Thrill Reconnoiter]

Track from Geauga Lake's Dominator has been arriving at Kings Dominion! Plus Italian Job rehab and a clearing in the park!

Great update Max!

I'm stumped as to why it says Hard Rock Park on that box...thing. Perhaps Dominator was sold to HRP? Unlikely, but possible I suppose.

The first POV of Kings Dominion's new addition.

Great update, some rare and unique views of the track close-up, good work :D

I'm just throwing this out there, but it could be the same steel workers that did Led Zeppelin are going to start work on Dominator. :confused:

Probably. I know the same construction contractor does all of Florida's B&M roller coasters, so its only logical to think that the same specialty type of contractor would do all of the mid east's roller coaster construction. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Danny Forster's buddy's from Griffon doing a little handy work on Dominator...

Why Hyper Coaster though?

I imagine it's just a generic term amongst those folks. I doubt they have the specific definition of hypercoaster that we enthusiasts do.

Great update thanks for the pictures Max. Now if we could only figure out where it is actually going.

^ Taken from the official announcement...

Riders will board the coaster on the east side of International Street, just behind the park’s Berserker ride. So it's most likely the first location pointed out in the update.

Here is the rumored location of the ride-between Scooby-Doo, the bus lot, and in the grass.

I might be wrong though, I don't know the park to well.

^ Yeah, according the announcement, that is where Dominator will be located.

I’m thinking too that the entrance to the Pavilion & Amphitheater will be relocated because Dominator will be blocking it. We’ll have to see because it’s easily removed and the Pavilion & Amphitheater can be accessed via the pathway that runs parallel to Scooby-Doo’s Ghoster Coaster…

Edit: Thanks for the complements everyone. :)
