      I actually worked as a ride operator for volcano during highschool and summers throughout college. I miss getting to test ride it every morning! brings back some really good memories! It unfortunately even when I worked there had some serious problems with rolling back at the top of the volcano and we would close it for hours almost 2 or 3 times a week.

    I love the work that they have done with Grizzly, but from my experience of the one time I rode it I think they should’ve retracked the entire thing. Right after you leave the tunnel and go through that one dip switching from Gravity Group track to the original, I got jackhammered really bad and it definitely ruined the rest of the ride for me

      @vapoet 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      At my age, I have to beware of wooden coasters and Grizzly has always been painful to me. Thanks for telling me about the "jack hammer." It makes my decision simply as far as whether to ride it again.

    1. Intimidator 305, it’s the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden, I got 8 rides total on it, 5 of them were back to back and I would’ve done more if the park wasn’t closing! There’s a lot I could say about this coaster, but we’d be here all day so I won’t 😅
    2. Dominator, underrated, only did it once but I really enjoyed it and it surprised me, that drop off the midcourse gave some really good air time
    3. Twisted Timbers, it disappointed me quite a bit but it’s still a great ride, it’s the third RMC I’ve done so I just expected it to be somewhat on par with the others (Lightning Rod and Storm Chaser)
    4. Tumbili, this is the first free spin I’ve ridden and it was insane! I was tempted to put this at number 3, it was the first ride to scare me in like 7 years, I flipped 5 times and it gave upside down ejector airtime! When it dipped under itself the first time it flipped in a way that flung me downwards, and it genuinely made me believe I had been ejected!
    5. Backlot Stunt Coaster, I’ve ridden the one at my home park Kings Island many times, and I actually thought this one was slightly better!
    6. Flight of Fear, this on the other hand was much worse than the one at Kings Island, I only rode it to compare them and because I305 was down at the time
    7. Reptilian, first bobsled I’ve ridden and it was good fun, I rode in the very back on my one ride
    That’s all I got to ride here, I probably could have ridden more, but I had sore legs and decided to put most of my time into I305. Hopefully whatever coaster gets added next will give me an excuse to come back here, cuz I really loved Kings Dominion!

    I was there when the grizzly opened as a kid in ‘82. I was 10 on an elementary school field trip of some sort. I remember the grizzly just being very rough, but enjoyable. My old man would take us since probably the late 70’s to early 80’s. Anyone remember the potatoe sack slide? remember when they handed you a ticket booklet to use up for each ride? When you run out of tickets you either buy more or walk around or go home. Too bad Racer 75 is no longer the rebel yell

    I remember one time back around 2003-2004 i got stuck and had to ride anaconda twice back to back because after the first ride, the seat restraint wouldn't release for me and nobody came to help me out lol..so i just sat through another ride😂 I was also getting very sick that day but i still managed to get on every ride in the park. I wasn't wasting what ended up being my last trip to Kings Dominion lol.. i hope to go back some day

    • @zacg_
      @zacg_ ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It really depends what you're going for. Twisted Timbers is an excellent ride with one of the best sequence of airtime hills in the world. That said, I305 is probably a more overall consistently thrilling experience. It does have three good airtime moments but they aren't the focus. Even the big turnaround after the drop isn't the best part of the ride (though it of course very forceful.) I think the rapid turns in the second half really make I305 elite.
      I'd say I305 is more unique and impressive for what it is than Twisted Timbers but mostly because Twisted Timbers is so typical of RMC. But on the other hand, RMC is pure excellence so there's nothing wrong with being a typical RMC because that immediately means it's an elite coaster.

    • @IsleofPigsStudios
      @IsleofPigsStudios ปีที่แล้ว

      @@zacg_ That is some detailed reasoning. I just adore Twisted Timbers because it was the first coaster I rode with an inversion. I can’t really say anything about I305 because I haven’t ridden it, but if what I heard it true: then I305 will be nuts (in a good way)

  • @vapoet

    I put Twisted Timbers ahead of 305, because Timbers consistently gets better for the length of the ride with the best airtime in the park. 305 does not get better throughout the ride. It's intense, but to me, not fun. I'm 60 years old, and fun beats intensity every time.

    I remember when I was about 7 (2013) I rode the Racer 75 as my first coaster and almost died. My lap belt wasn't in properly and I told the staff, they didn't care and said "You'll be fine". Every time we went down fast, I was not in my seat alt all, holding onto the bar in front of me, and my mom physically holding me down.

    I personally am not a huge KD fan and I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because I find the park to be a bit of a mess in terms of layout and cohesion. Also, the parking lot and front gate are just a disaster if you ask me. But they definitely have an above average coaster collection and their top two is arguably the best one-two punch out there maybe only challenged by SFNE, Magic Mountain or Cedar Point.

We were apparently the topic of a search for over an hour with security looking for us... over two bottles of water. We paid for two drinks, but the coke was not mixed right and undrinkable, so we asked the cashier if we could get the water instead. She said yes and as we got off of the Backlot Stunt coaster over an hour later, a security officer wanted to ask us questions. If anyone knows the park manager, we would like to hear from him/her. We have been unsuccessful in getting an answer through their survey they sent us about our trip. It was ignored. I was also ignored on their KD Facebook page.
