Miner's Revenge Closes after One Season
Well, this come to be a bit of a shock to me. Want to know my thoughts in a very short description? Overreaction. Simple as that. Kings Dominion announced Monday, October 28th, that “Miner’s Revenge” will not be included in Halloween Haunts lineup the following season due to the outcry of miners being upset. According […]
Halloween Haunt 2013: The Review
This review will be based on my two trips to the park which was on opening night (September 27th) and also last Sunday (October 20th). Sometimes the house can fluctuate in quality drastically depending on when you experience them. Actors could be tired or some actors could be on break; no matter the reason, the point is that […]
“GENTLEMAN START YOUR ENGINES!” After 3 months of downtime, it’s back! The park has worked diligently with Intamin AG to get the necessary parts built and shipped over for installation!

While the park put a ton of work into Planet Snoopy, it isn’t the only new thing for 2013. Improvements can be seen all around the park from the fountains at the entrance to some track work on Anaconda. Nice to see the rest of the park didn’t get overlooked in favor of the new […]
