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!

Since then, Kings Dominion has managed to pull the train over the crest of the hill into the final brakes. The park has left the […]
Opening Week Report Part 2: General Park Updates
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 […]
Opening Week Report Part 1: Planet Snoopy
If you haven’t yet heard about the new Planet Snoopy then you will be amazed to see that over the off-season Kings Dominion worked diligently to demolish KidZville in preparation for the new Planet Snoopy, an expansion which doubles the size of the former Planet Snoopy area. The new Planet Snoopy is the country’s largest children area […]
