Kings Dominion's 2010 Coaster

I think there were two identical looking pallets of washers, Moosh... but who knows! Does it feel like Christmas to anyone else today?

And It'll be a nice way to say goodbye to Big Bad Wolf.

Goodbye?? Wheres he going? :)

To Grandma's house, of course.

Darn it, Moosh, wish you were going this weekend, then I'd join you! I need to get down there for some Wolf before it's too late.

It has not even been confirmed that the ride is leaving yet. It could just be a silly rumor for all we know.

maybe.. maybe not.. :)

So.. this is what its like to be Moosh...

Pretty darn close! All you need to do is get a boyfriend and be a know-it-all douche and you've got it ;)

Hmmm.. out on first account, however people at work call me the second quite frequently..

We can compare douchiness on Wednesday. Wait...something about that just doesn't sound right.

Just don't leave too much of a mess you two. We will be down there this weekend.

Matt, we WILL be making plans (right now it look like late July). Maybe there could even be a special event near Halloween for some last-time late-night howling? Or will the park say nothing up until the end of the season....'cause the Wolf deserves a final time to shine - truly a brilliant ride.

I still say that the ride couldn't possibly be going anywhere. Why on earth would BG get rid of a such a unique and classic ride. But what do I know?

If it doesn't make sense, it's probably not true.

I think whats going to happen is the trains will be removed for the new ride at KD..

Kind of a joint-share system between the parks :)

Who'd sponsor Red Rocket? Comedy Central?

I don't get it.

No. I think maybe NASA or Virgin Galactic. :)

You could call it the "Red Rocker" and have David Lee Roth do the opening.

It certainly felt like Christmas to me yesterday coming back from a road trip to see pictures of the packing slips clearly stating giga 02 !

While I'd certainly be happy with an MF clone, I hope and suspect this ride will be custom and a real show stopper given the track on site. I just hope they don't use OTSR, while either a lift or launch would work for me.

^^I thought OTSR's are standard on the US Intamin's?? In addition, based on what the prognosticators were saying, it's not going to be a MF!! But something similar to other Intamin launch coasters that have been popping up all over Europe the past 3 years.

Tigellinus, OTSR are not standard, but used frequently, which doesn't mean this ride will have them. Most of CPs Intamins are OTSR free (thank god). None of the European Intamin launched coasters are anywhere near 300 feet, so I'm not sure what you're reffering too. I'm also assuming you know this new coaster will definitely be over 300 feet, per the packing slips on-site at KD and Intamin's web site which defines what a giga coaster is.

Hoping for a giga sized version of RoS at SFNE, or a giga sized Ispeed which opened last week.

Given the track on-site is identicle to the new F1 - this could be an amazing ride and perfect addition to KD (imho).

A giga-sized Ispeed? Given the love and adulation showered on hyper-dimensioned loopers (Steel Phantom, Manhattan Express, Son of Beast, Moonsault Scramble), I can't think of a worse thing to wish for.

Just because all of those suck(ed) doesn't mean one can't have a good hyper/giga with inversions.

I really don't think it's going to be launched. If it was, they would call it an accelerator, not a giga. Maybe it will have a quasi-launched lift like Maverick, but I think that would be a little excessive on a giga...
