I know Taylor is deep down crying about his lost love: Volcano the Blast Coaster.
Gone but not forgotten.
I am too, to this day I still find it weird it just flat land now.
I have the big sad cause I went for the first time literally right after it closed :(
@Joey Harper Volcano was also a money put and maintenance nightmare. It was sucking up funds which could have been used for other attractions.
@Joey Harper I’m not disagreeing with you at all. I’m just being optimistic. I had very strong words for Volcano’s removal. I’m not loving that Cedar Fair isn’t currently working with Intamin, when more times than not, they got exactly what they asked for. As far as I’m concerned, the Dinosaurs Alive plot needs an Intamin Mega Coaster, but they don’t ask my opinion. 🤷🏻♂️ they have consistently made overall park improvements, and I’m choosing to believe they’re going to do something big soon. We just have to be patient, and it sucks.
I may or may not have cried when I found out it closed and also saw it being taken down 😭
"the ice is doing its own impression of i95 right now" underrated comment
this had me laughing so hard cause its true
i showed my mom that part lol she cracked up
the depressing part is its true
Hot lanes from DC to Fredericksburg now though, so you can at least avoid the Woodbridge and Fredericksburg backups now on the way down.
Surprised to see Sarah's conducting at 6:37 to be actually accurate. How did she do that?
Taylor: Sarah finally comes to KD
Also Taylor: since his last vlog, hasn't gone in like 2 years
Hagenmc.
This is like one of the only vlogs in existence that is calm
On a good day, Intimidator is one of many with a short line (and it has a huge capacity). THAT's what's amazing about KD compared to the top-rated parks.
Ngl I kinda want to experience I305 in the rain. Also, the fact that it's a station wait is like when you build an incredible coaster in RCT or Planet Coaster, but it's too intense for the GPs so no one rides it.
I still remember the greatest safari trip I've ever taken, highlights were the Stunt show, NASA research lab, and Nascar race.
I recently went to Kings Dominion for a school trip, and I marathoned Dominator for most of the day.
Great vlog! Gotta love ALL COASTERS at Kings Dominion! Especially Twisted Timbers and I305! 🎢🎢🎢
Yooo your POVs are awesome
@Solar Winds Thanks mang! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Aweosme!
Fun fact my grandpa helped built racer 75 how crazy is that😂
I actually really like Anaconda. It's not a great coaster by any means, but the drop through the underwater tunnel is super unique and the last two corkscrews at the end are amazing. Plus, it literally never has a line because everyone else hates it.
Back in the day, I thought it was at least better than Shockwave and The Hurler, which were absolutely abysmal.
There’s gotta be abt 7 ppl on the planet who’s fav KD ride is Dominator and you found 2 of them
I live in MN but grew up in Fairfax with Kings Dominion as our home park. I really miss the way the air gets cool and fresh before a summer rain there. Here in MN, if it is hot and humid, it stays hot and humid through the rain.
Come on Taylor swim in the fountain it will be fun yolo
I'm weak at "just like Fredericksburg" talking about the ice machine lmfao
Fr bro it adds like an extra hour in an expedition to DC 😭😭
The DC to Stafford/Fredericksburg stretch on I95 was surveyed to be the most congested traffic area in all the United States 🤣
Loved the video. Kings dominion reigns
Wow imagine having friends to go to theme parks with.
Imagine having friends period.
9:22 “just like Fredericksburg, nothings happening” OOF I FELT THAT ONE driving through Fredericksburg is a NIGHTMARE almost every time
LOL I’ve walked passed the motion theater a billon times and I’ve never seen Taylor on the sign, same with him being on Apple Zapple on the KD website.
Middle row seat on anaconda is one of my favorite roller coaster experiences. The hang time in the corkscrews is phenomenal!
1:44 is probably my favourite quote of the year so far! HAHAHA!
“I LOOOOOOOOOVE the Dominator.”
That ball in the middle of the twisted Timbers has ALWAYS been there!!
Last time I was at KD, Volcano was still operating. I drive past it probably twice a month and spent my summers there growing up. One of these days I’ll just plan a day at KD so I can get a ride on Twisted Timbers. It looks pretty sick
KD is a top 3 Cedar Fair park simply because it’s charm and international street. Places like Carowinds and Kings Island doesn’t stand out. They’re still Paramount Parks in my eyes.
I have only been to Knotts Berry farm but for me just on the way the parks look it probably 1:Cedar point 2:Knotts Berry farm 3: king’s island
Taylor your also on the first photo on the jersey devil page on rcdb
Went here a couple of weeks ago fun park that every coster enthusiast should visit
Also the day I went it was HOT!!! The high that day was 96 and the reel feel was like 106 so that was fun to deal with
I was in junior high in 1991 and when I got off Anaconda opening day I thought it ruled! Keep in mind that at the time KD only had Rebel Yell, Grizzly, Shockwave, Avalanche, and Scooby Doo (Woodstock Express) back then! It's really hard for me to align my Anaconda thoughts from a 14-year old GP's perspective with a 45-year old enthusiast's. I remember at the time that I still had Grizzly as my favorite ride at the park after Anaconda opened.
Also, on a personal level, I had only ridden roller coasters at one other park by this time, Magic Kingdom!
Love hearing some Old School perspective here @Redfoot138 -- thanks!
From the first time I saw the classic movie "Rollercoaster", and watched George Segal ride Rebel Yell over and over and over with a suitcase full of money on his lap, I wanted to go to KD. Drove my parents crazy I think LOL!
"Get on the ride, Harry" 🎢🎢🎢
In '98-'02 my friends loved Anaconda and would ride it back to back to back.
I need to get my nephew to KD next year. Once I ride Great Pumpkin Coaster (and Tumbili), I'll have ridden every coaster that has ever been there. I must have been like 5 or 6, but I barely remember riding Galaxi with my sisters. Then 12 or 13 years later, the three of us visited in 1995. And, yes, Hurler was actually really fun back then. But I never forgave Paramount/KD for tearing down half the forest surrounding Grizzly to build it.
Only coaster I'm fairly sure have ridden over 2000 times, and going. But when I first rode around '93, kind of did assume it was a bit older than that. Anyway, crazy, short, fun, dangerous. Setting keeps getting better.
Kind of ironic you suggest replacing Anaconda with a flying coaster, which so far have been the worst coaster type ever made, including standups. Agonyizing.
@@spentron1 This might be false memory but since you've ridden it that much maybe you can help me out. I seem to remember the train going through the corkscrews at a much faster pace. They've seemed to really crawl through them over the past 15-20 years.
I want a dispatch time video from this place
The girl in the Camo tank top is the prettiest coaster enthusiast I have ever seen
Damn Taylor got the girls in his pocket
😂
Chill. 😂😅
He’s a playa
12:45 Lol, the guy in the back giving the peace sign at the camera
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
4:15 "Intimidator 305 looks too intense for me" - Ask any GP and you are prone to getting this response.
Also I love how I instantly knew which pizza place you're at it's my favorite!!
I visited Kings Dominion in 2019, and the only credits I missed out on were Great Pumpkin Coaster and Anaconda. Great Pumpkin for obvious reasons, and Anaconda because of the feedback. Glad to say don’t regret it.
Anaconda is not as bad as everyone says. On my most recent ride, I didn't encounter any serious head banging, but it could probably be because I'm lucky. That doesn't mean the ride's good. It's just okay or meh.
Anaconda is worth a ride imo. It wasn’t that bad
It's not as bad as people say, though the restraints are not great. Ride in the front row. Between the mcbr and corkscrew, the ride doesn't do much, except throw you side to side.
I wish RMC would build something in the uk already
Also I love Intimidator 305.
Growing up my time was always split between bush gardens and KD. However KD is more of my home park . Flight of fear and dominator are my classics. Twisted Timbers is more of my newer fav ✨
Taylor’s reaction to Anaconda is the same I had with Roar this past Thursday.
We had an extremely rainy day @Phantasialand last month (was in the news everywhere, biggest flooding in our area since weather recording started). Our indoor spinning coasters were down for most of the day because water got through the emergency exit and stood IN the station. Also, our shooting dark ride (Maus au chocolat) closes in heavy rain because they get water inside the electronics ^^
Hot take: Kings Dominion should have tear down Anaconda before Volcano.
Agree. That thing is nothing more than a credit.
The fact that volcano had to go before anaconda is still so sick and twisted 😭
It timbers
The timbers are twisted
Seeing footage of Dominator was so nostalgic for me.. it came from my home park, Geuaga Lake.
Amen my dude im 42 i live a half hour from former geauga lake i miss it every day.
Stopppp, oh my gosh, I'm LITERALLY going here next month for the first time!!!
I was supposed to go to this park this year but i wasn’t able to but looking forward to Kd and bgw next year keep up the great work with the vids
you posted this on my birth day
You should get a GoPro strap and go on the coaster with the GoPro so we can see
I only do that at parks that grant me permission.
When you got a free spin coming to your home park haha
I’ve thought about what if they got rid of anaconda before replacing volcano and used the land of both anaconda and volcano to create something amazing.
I visited this park in July it was so beautiful 😭I lost my glasses on Twisted Timbers 🤣Thats what happens when you put them in your pockets, *INSTEAD OF A BIN*
Straps and cargo zipper pockets are a must for theme Parks, My friend.
@@DumbMNSportsGuy thanks Phil
To answer your question, "Any ride in that spot." How about an X2 clone or even better, "Eejanaika"
I didn’t know goose was a roller coaster enthusiast!
Fighter jets, roller coasters, same thing.
i305 still crushes the competition
Can't wait till she comes to my home park carowinds
I’m glad Sarah enjoyed KD but I agree that dominator is better than i305
“The ice is doing its own impression of I95 today” nah it took a extra hour to get from Petersburg to KD😭
0:38: Look at that smile on Victoria’s face.
Hey taylor! Love your content! I'm actually in Tennessee at the moment and was wondering if you had any tips for dollywood? I cant wait to make it to kings dominion, intimidator 305 looks awesome!
Can I recommend the okaycoasters Dollywood video
@@Gb-dg9pp okay, ill go watch that right now, thank you
@@maxm8745 the ultimate guide to dollywood
Try to go on a weekday!! If you go on a weekend, the first thing you should do (if you would like to invest in it) would be to get a fast pass because things will fill up fast!! Do lightning rod mid-day if it’s busy! It’s at the front so people will head to it first. Don’t rush!! There’s so much to see! Definitely get their cinnamon bread. It is worth it! Usually Firechaser Express, Lightning Rod and occasionally Mystery Mine are usually their busiest rides. Staff is short, so food lines will be longer!! Be prepared for a lot of restaurants to be closed and for restaurant wait times to be a little higher. Most important in my opinion… wear comfortable shoes!! Dollywood is on a very steep incline and is all uphill! Hope this helps a bit! I’m a regular… lol
@@blurgh7706 Thank you so much! This did help, im actually going sunday so im going to prepare for the worst croudwise, although im sure it will be enjoyable regardless! Again, thank you much!
I would love to see a new gen launched Vekoma flyer at Kings Dominion
This! Or an S&S Axis coaster, but I won’t hold my breath on that one.
“What was everyone’s favorite ride?”
“TWISTED TIMBERS!!!”
“… boo blasters”
Omg that was absolutely hilarious!
KD is my home park as well, so it made me real happy to see everyone have a blast there! It’s a great park, and with a few additions to replace the empty space, and then maybe finally getting rid of Anaconda for something better, it could easily be one of the best parks in the world
Sweet video.. 😃😃💃💟💞💝
LETS GOOO! My home park
Omg I was there that day!
Throw any ride in Anaconda's spot? How about a Phantom's Revenge type refurbishment because that would put a new ride in but a lot of the investment that goes into a coaster (mechanical parts) wouldn't need to be spent except for the body of the trains due to needing restraint changes. Kennywood talked about how cheap that was compared to if they had gotten a ground up coaster with thst same layout, it knocked probably 70% of the cost off from what I understand. With the way things are now Kings Dominion would be wise to call up Chance Rides for something like that. That plus they could keep the drop into the tunnel (the only good thing Anaconda does) and only go into the new layout after it comes out of the tunnel.
Lol, we did get off in 1991 and thought it was awesome....old people like me suck,lol
Anaconda could have been better, but it is still a good ride. We're just spoiled these days by the incredible rides that have been built since.
Very recent! Unfortunately the weekday schedule means no Twisted Timbers, no Intimidator, and no woodies of my youth. Monday I"m headed to Hershey for the first time since like the 80s. KD was my initial choice until I checked the schedule. Not going to KD just for Dominator, and no other coasters are operating on their "Summer Bonus Days" or whatever they're calling it.
3:48 is the nerdiest thing I've ever heard but I love it 😂
Gotta respect how much Taylor avoided showing Anaconda from the I-305 and BSC exits. Delaying the inevitable...
That's so funny that you always get somebody else's water bottle leaking on your bag whenever you come here 😂 bet it's annoying too
Just went to this park for this first time this year as well. It’s awesome. I also feel like I’m in the minority when I say I prefer I305 in the back. The airtime is much better and I also found it to be more intense.
I agree. I did front a few times, and back almost every other ride. Back has far better airtime, and is so much more intense.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan great to not be alone
Kings Dominion has a great atmosphere!!! Far better than Kings Island!!!
Hey Coaster Studios, I was in the live discord Q&A last night as hagenmc. I didn't get to talk but it was awesome and thank you for planning it out!
Hagenmc.
I'm in love with the redhead
I miss volcano it was my favorite ride at KD
OMG whoever made the I95/FREEDERICKSBURG joke thank him. I lived there for a year and almost offed myself because it's the worst of all worlds.
my first time from kings dominion was 7 years ago june
How are you guys so nerdy yet so social? Built a lil different i guess 😂
I’m thinking of going to Six Flags Magic Mountain for WallyWorld and a Stand Up Coaster
Was just here yesterday
Twisted Timbers was closed for the 3 days I was at KD. Really sucked.
I was in bgw yesterday man what an amazing park will your next parody vid be about park stereotypes
Do you still miss Volcano: The Blast Coaster? I'm sorry Sarah never got to ride it I never got to ride it either. :( What was that ride like and do you know the reason why it closed?
Volcano was too expensive to to upkeep. Alot of issues and it was attached to the mountain making it very difficult to fix.
The ride experience you can watch youtube. Once we pull out the station and turn the corner out of sight, we blast out past the mountain and then bank turn back into the mountain. The highlight was hitting another launch in the mountain to have us blast out the top as if we are lava. The rest is rather a wonderful view of the park with some rolls as we wind down the mountain.
When Paramount first built it, it also had fire effects before the coaster shot out the top which was fun for those waiting in the long winding line.
@@idunois yeah I saw they had a lot of maintenance issues. I've seen plenty of videos of it looked like a great ride! How sad :( the maintenance didn't go as they would've liked it and had to close it. Would've love to experience but hopefully they'll replace it with something even better!
Replace Anaconda with Shockwave (Six Flags Great America) or several Wilderness Runs
Is this a new camera?? Super clean video not that the others ones aren't this one is just super clear
It is not, I’ve been using this camera for over a year now, but glad you are enjoying the quality!
I was there that day (saw you in the parking lot). It had been 3 years since I had ridden Twisted Timbers, and I don't remember that airtime being that strong. That was insane! I wanted to ask you if it's always that strong, or if I had just caught it at its best.
It’s always that strong, even when it’s lagging.
@@scottnelson9 Nice! I so wish I lived closer to Kings Dominion, probably the most underrated park ever. I have enjoyed my days there more than Cedar Point.
In my mind it's not even too long since I've been to KD, but it's literally been 10 years
Oh gosh eww bug ok that's *gags* I couldn't survive that bug
I honestly think that inside rollar coasters are the best they make it hot, cold, lights, dark
Will you by any chance be in the park Sunday?
Anaconda is badass and iconic, that ride needs to live on forever
Wait.. is that drop tower thing the ride that 14 year old fell off of and passed away? 🤨☹️
Good video.. hve a Great day.. thank u..
I would replace anaconda with Volcano the blast coaster
We found out last time we were there that they shut Flight of Fear down during storms because it isn’t grounded.
The anaconda is probably better then the Corkscrew at CP
I passed out on Millennium Force….I was also dehydrated lol
i work there and im tryna see if i can find myself in the background lmao
2:52 What song were they referring to?
Wait, so if you like the singing mushrooms, does that mean you enjoy barbershop music?
no, I'm just a big fan of vocal fungi
Yeah Taylor is a FUNgi.
……..
I’m sorry I will leave.
