Author Topic: Rollcoaster "Fun" and other Kings Dominion shenanigans  (Read 646 times)

I was dragged out of bed at 7:14AM yesterday becasue we were going to Kings dominion, normal people would be excited but I was grouchy and hated the idea. Why did I hate the idea? Well, lets just say Acrophobia is not very fun on a rollercoaster. We stopped at a Golden Corral to eat breakfast ( Yuck ) and I got me some Wursts and eggs. My wursts were cool and pink in the center and my eggs were goopy so I didn't eat. We finally arrived around 10am so the park was just opening and letting people in, parts of the park were still closed, fountain wasn't on, rides were still being tested, etc. I went on this thing that spun you around and stuff and it was not very pleasant, I was hyperventilating and paralyzed. Around 12pm I recovered and gathered my masculinity and decided to ride a coaster called the "Rebel" Yell". They strapped me in and stuff and when we were going up the hill I started sweating and my throat got dry. Right as we dropped I started yelling "HOLY stuff" over and over then started singing "Highway to Hell", and by singing I mean screaming at the top of my voice.

It is around 3 now and my sister, her boyfriend ,and my father decide to ride something called "The Berserker". It is this kind of pirate ship thing that spins you around so I sat this out. Their ride got stuck so they were still locked in for almost 20 minutes. Nothing else happened throughout teh day for me because sitting is not very fun.

My sister and I got sunburnt but she got the worst of it, I didn't get much except my neck and some of my arms.


/discuss things that go wrong at "Amusement" parks


TL:DR, I had undercooked food for breakfast, rode a rollercoaster and sung AC/DC, Ride got stuck.

Oh yeah, and the "Rebel Yell" looks like a snake

You forgot to look down! That's the best part.

I know how you feel. One time I went on this rollercoaster called the Fireball. Maybe you guys have it over at your states. Anyway, for those who don't know, the Fireball is a coaster that is a giant loop and you go all the way up to the top, and sometimes they keep you there for a long time. Hesitant, I got on because my other friend and his uncle were going. I thought it was quite fun for a while, but then they kept going higher. And higher. And even higher. Eventually, we got to a part where we were loving upside down facing the ground for 5-15 seconds. The seat belts were not secure at ALL, and I nearly fell out of my seat, plummeting into the white tent below. When I got out, I had lost my hat and it was at the area of another field, and we weren't able to retrieve it.

^ The fireball in its final form

I used to live in Virginia and I love Kings Dominion. The rebel yell is a good one and it's a classic that opened with the park, my grandfather used to take my dad on it when he was a kid. Also please tell me you went on the Intimidator.

Why would I go on another Rollercoaster when I said I freaked out on Rebel yell?

i've learned to never trust fairground rides or traveling fair rides. they're almost always in bad shape. we went to a traveling fair a few years ago and my sister got stuck on one of the spinny rides because it was unbalanced and they couldn't shut it off, and another group of kids got stuck in a roll-o-plane because it just broke once it reached the top.


dude wtf rollercoasters are the forgetin greatest
