King for a Day
We went camping this past weekend. Not typical
camping though. Yes, we set up a tent, and all
that, but our day was not spent a campground, but
rather next door at Kings Dominion.
Not everyone got to enjoy it, though.
Austin's arm is still in a cast, and with
the weather forecast predicting record hit,
and the fact that we didn't want to
re-injure it, we decided to let him stay
with Grandma and Grandpa.
The weather prediction was right. It was hot! I mean HOT! Heat index of 105 to 107 for the weekend.The heat apparently kept many people away as the park was not very crowded, and the lines were not very long. Most everything was more-or-less walk on, and that made for a lot of coaster riding. We rode every coaster there, except for Volcano. By we I mean that I rode every coaster, and Hannah rode all of the ones that she was tall enough for (including Rebel Yell, and Anaconda). I was able to ride in the front of the new coaster, Dominator. It was a great ride. Kings Dominion acquired the old Batman ride from Geauga Lakes, re-themed it, and renamed it to Dominator. Very smooth ride. I highly recommend it.
We are planning on going back later this month when Austin finally has his cast removed, and are going to try to meet Elliot Sadler when he is there. Some other planned trips for the summer including Dorney Park (for the first time), Carowinds (for a second time), Kings Island (despite the fact that Austin broke his arm there), and Cedar Point. As always, we'll post lots of photos for everyone to enjoy.
Ride On!
