SCHOOL'S OUT! Kings Dominion Meetup June 24th

**FishFishRevolution** · 04-10-2007, 09:48 AM

Okay so I was just talking with Mal, and I realized that a VA meet up at Busch Gardens would be a fantastic idea. It would take place somewhere in the May/June era, and would be open to all VA FFRer's. Busch Gardens is pretty close to VA beach and Richmond, just to give you an idea of where it is. Basically you hit richmond and go west on 64 until you hit the coast.

WHY BUSCH GARDENS???

Busch Gardens is offering a season pass for VA residents only, called a "Fun Card" that costs the same as a day pass! $55 for a season pass; THIS IS MADNESS! The card can be purchased online, and printed out at your house. You take that print-out to a machine at the front of the park and get your fun card. All you need is some proof of VA residency (driver's license, etc). Just make sure you buy them before May 31st because that's when the deal ends (but the passes purchased before then last until Sept 3). Just to be safe, we might want to have the meet up before May 31st.

I would be coming from the very top of VA, and could pick up the non-drivers along the way (mead, rai, richmond people, etc). Anyone game for this?

UPDATE: PLEASE READ

Looks like a King's Dominion meetup is scheduled for Sunday, June 24th.
Time: unknown
Members attending: ????????

Oh and before you guys say "no kingsdominon is bretr" think about the southern va people too. This will include them and make for a bigger meet up. Both parks have plenty of DDR machines and good roller coasters.

**JasonKey** · 04-10-2007, 10:00 AM

Actually, as a NC'er I could swing that. Likely would be fun and a good excuse to get out and see some family up that way.

Keep this thread posted as I would be interested in hearing more about this and who might head out .. ect

It's a shame Busch Gardens totally sucks or I'd consider it.

Too bad Busch Gardens sucks.

Sorry Fish, but as a Virginia Beach resident, I'm gonna have to agree with Squeek here. Busch Gardens sucks ass. It's mainly a place for families to enjoy themselves; not have actual theme park fun. I've been to BG and KD more times that i can remember and I love KD more than BG. Sure BG is closer but I seriously suggest making this a King's Dominion trip. I might still go to BG, but I'll be one crabby Black guy. =/

The guy that owns Busch Gardens just bought all the paramount parks, they are doubling prices and you cannot get season passes anymore.

I think so, one of my friends told me, and he has been there about 100 times.

Darn, moved out of Va Beach a few years ago.

By the way, Busch Gardens pwns Kings Dominion.

**Squeek** · 04-10-2007, 10:17 AM

How do you figure that?

Busch Gardens has one interesting ride. One. Alpengheist.

Looks like by the 25th, another good one might be open. That makes two!

King's Dominion on the other hand? Volcano, Hypersonic, Anaconda, Flight of Fear, and apparently they've opened some new ones as well. They have over a dozen coasters.

Busch Gardens is a theme park. The things there are shows and events, not rides. Also known as: Incredibly boring.

Wow, I don't remember most of those rides, it's been a while. Shockwave was at Kings, right? Apollo's Chariot at BG. The one that they tore down at BG was awesome, Dragon something. I guess it's because of it's location (45min from VaBeach as opposed to 2 hours= a lot more memories) and the fact it's a classic place to take a date (lots of non-roller coaster attractions), I reminisce about BG more.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-10-2007, 10:25 AM

damn. i'd come down again if not for the whole moving to LA thing.

nice new avatar Jason.

**JasonKey** · 04-10-2007, 10:27 AM

Tass, we expect you go set us up with some west side action when you get settled in.

re Avatar: Thanks .. playing with some ideas ..

**FishFishRevolution** · 04-10-2007, 10:51 AM

Apollo's chariot is a great ride, and always has a short line. Kings dominion may have more roller coasters, but you get to ride less of them less times because the lines are excruciating. Stop being so opinionated, Squeek. This is about FFR, not you, and certainly not about Roller Coaster penis.

I found a new friend.

Ya, that or Alpengeist is my favorite at Busch Gardens. King's Dominion is alright but it's so damn dirty. Cedar Point is crazy though, went there last summer in the rain and rode the Superman coaster 5 times straight. Everyone should go to Busch Gardens.

**FishFishRevolution** · 04-10-2007, 10:53 AM

That's right, stop having opinions, because you could have a lot more fun with an open mind. And we would have a lot more fun if you came along.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-10-2007, 11:05 AM

Trevor is still uncool for not coming with Sprite and I to Ohio this weekend.

uncool. uncool.

and Jason... no doubt. So Cal Meetup v3.0 this summer.

**dore** · 04-10-2007, 11:12 AM

I might try to convince my parents to let me go to this. Busch Gardens isn't too far away.

Also Apollo's Chariot pwns like you can't comprehend.

Billydude · 04-10-2007, 02:41 PM

OMG I might be able to go! I live really close there, I'll ask my parents! I hope they say yes >.<.

P.S. Alpengheist (or something like that) and Appolos Chariot are the best.

Edit: My mom just got home and she's thinking about it. I might bring some of my friends if you don't mind, this'll be awesome!

I'm trying to remember the rides... I know Alpengheist, Appolos Chario, Big Bad Wolf (SUCKS), Lochness Monster and I think one more. I've gone there a lot and can even show you to the good rides if you want me to. Escape from Pompei is awesome.
