Bubba, Bubba's friend Drew, AVMatt, and I went to Kings Dominion this past Sunday and here are some pictures I would like to share with everyone. Enjoy!

I really like the way this picture turned out.

The "new" I305

Bubba and Drew about to blast off on Volcano

Two trains at the same time!

Dominator was AWESOME! Biggest surprise of the day.

Good stuff

I like the new Timmy. Didn't care for the old Timmy. It still makes me grey out in the first turn and the ending still suffers El Toro's anticlimax, but the new restraints eliminate virtually all of the horrible neck/head banging it had before. You don't even have to hold on now!

TIMMY!!!!!

Dominator was awesome at GL, can't wait to ride it at KD! Oh yeah, can't forget about I305 as well...

B-mac · « **Reply #5 on:** April 06, 2011, 12:48:43 PM »

Never had the opportunity to get out to KD in recent years. With the prospect of moving it's about to become my home park! I've heard of Dominator being a very exciting ride and it took me a bit to realize why the layout of the ride was the way it was. Don't care much for i305 right now, none of the hills look to have much airtime to them and the only part of the ride that looks to have some sort of force is that right hander (timmy?).

AV Matt · « **Reply #6 on:** April 06, 2011, 01:08:32 PM »

Timmy is the exact opposite of Millennium Forceless. The first two hills have loads of airtime and there a few pops after that. Every single turn has powerful positive G's and the rolls in between some of the turns are kinda fun. If only it had some sick overbanks!

PcMan · « **Reply #7 on:** April 06, 2011, 01:19:43 PM »

So its a good rating on the TIMMY improvements?
that's good to here since I really like this ride
seems to be the fastest I been on after Kingd Ka
Millennium is to high up to really feel the speed as much as Timmy

dkny6363 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:18:48 PM »

Why's it Timmy? I'm out of the loop. Is it as simple as Timmy is messed in the head and I305 will make you messed up like Timmy?

Timmy-InTIMidator.

It irkes me when people say that because the person that came up with it is someone I don't care for and thought they were being cute. And it caught on.

Right, Timmy isn't amazing and Millennium Force is AMAZING. lol. I like I305, it's a really fun ride and neat experience, but I don't think it is as awesome as some people make it out to be. The first drop is great, but is over way too fast which I think is partially due to the super fast cable lift. I think El Toro has a more exciting and "lose your stomach" drop. All of the quick transitions give a nice pop of airtime, sort of like Maverick's quick transitions, so there is airtime in many places on this ride. It's just too short and well, just no Millennium Force. =)

Millennium Force has four overbanks which don't provide much force, and also has two "air-time" hills which lack the negative-G's. Millennium Force has over a mile of potential, but very, very rarely uses it. I got lucky with my only ride on it and got a good bit of floater air over both of its hills, but I've had more action on El Toro's return run...

I sense a Millennium Force hater! just kidding, I understand that some people are just not fans of the ride. I am just obsessed with that coaster like many people know so I will always stick up for it even though it may be pointless at times.

AV Matt · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:39:46 PM »

I don't love either giga coaster. Gemini is better than both of them.

overlord · « **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:24:17 PM »

Why is Timmy so much more catchy then I305...especially when there are two of them...

PcMan · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:58:28 PM »

I don't like the Timmy name thing either
the ride would have been better if it was longer

AV Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2011, 08:57:52 PM »

I also like Dale 305.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2011, 09:38:56 PM »

I like timmy if you say it like south park TIMMY!

B-mac · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2011, 09:59:32 PM »

Timmy is more simple than i305. But yes, I really don't understand it. Quite like kids these days with their pants below their *plural explicit*.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2011, 12:42:34 AM »

Thats a really starnge comparison B-mac. lol

Ogolo · « **Reply #20 on:** April 07, 2011, 06:56:22 AM »

Not their *plural explicit*!
Sometimes that filter is better than Mad Libs.

what *WASH MY MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP!*ing filters?

Lol, I was about to say because you support MF too much but damn you're right. Not exactly a #1, it only has a speed factor and some force; nothing fully exhilarating.

If only you had come to East Coast Bash, you would know how much they got a boner over it and were so pissed when it got trimmed, even booing the park president lol
