Is there anyone from here interested in this event? I have yet to attend a Coaster Zombies event, but ERT on Volcano sounds good to me!

Here is the info posted on the Coaster Zombies page...

PARAMOUNTS KINGS DOMINION, DOSWELL, VA

I'm thinking of going down the Friday before and go to BGW, they are open from 10-7 and driving home Saturday night... Too bad Flight of Fear is closed and Italian Job wont be open until May... I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Hypersonic will be open!

Anyone with me?!  :P

If you are really lucky, Hypersonic won't be open either!   :lol:  :lol:

Then again, if you haven't ridden it, you should experience it ONCE.   :roll:

Yes, I remember my last ride on it, ouch.

Anyway, I will definately be at this event.  It is a great one, and I recomend it to everyone.
The world is coming to an end, I've actually created a blog!

I will be going as well. Last years Grizzly fest was great. 10 laps on FOF in the morning(lights on  for the first five laps). Then a  dozen laps on Grizzly at night. Give aways last year I received a Tomb Raider Bag , and a anniversary coin from the park. The buffet was also pretty good with chicken , burgers dogs etc. It  was really  a great time.

Wait, will FoF be closed for this event? If so, that is a damn shame. I thought it was the 2nd best coaster at PKD, and right up there with Volcano (HSXLC was closed last year, as was DZ and Grizzly).

I will probably go to this event as it is perfect with spring break and will get me ERT.

When did you ride it? I got about 8-10 rides on it in 2003 and LOVED it. It wasn't long, and after the top hat it is very ho-hum, but the launch and the hill were insane.. I can't imagine how it could get rough with rubber tires???

Folks, don't forget the sign-ups are due at the end of the week, so get them out if you plan on going.
