KIngs Dominion is a park with a history dating back 50 years. While it hosts a large collection of roller coasters and rides, the park has seen many lost to time. From innovative launches, to forgotten flumes, journey though the past to uncover the story of these once iconic attractions.
Delve into the hidden depths of The Lost World as we explore Smurf Mountain and Haunted River, before you discover the future of the mountain with Volcano: The Blast Coaster.
The compressed air launch of Hypersonic XLC once sat side by side with Wayne’s World themed Hurler. Close by Old Dominion Line took visitors on a journey through the Virginia forest.
Early coasters Galaxie and King Kobra gave way to more modern thrills, but their impact on the park is still remembered.
Join us as we pay homage to these lost rides and celebrate the evolution of Kings Dominion into the amusement park we know today.

I’m 50 years old and this video made me a kid again. I loved the Haunted River. The King Cobra was the first upside down coaster I ride in my life.

@CoasterConnections Месяц назад

I’m so glad I could bring back some memories! It’s fun to see how the park has changed!

@patrickwagner6247 2 месяца назад

Love the video. Only thing I think might be wrong is the tidbit about the Volcano station. You loaded inside the mountain. That station was used for the former Haunted River ride. The lower level was a Volcano gift shop with the upper level being a bullpen for the queue before heading inside the mountain and working your way down to the station.

Thank you for watching and also the detailed information. I appreciate it! This is one ride I unfortunately never managed to experience.

@donibritts2911 2 месяца назад

Awesome video! And I have ridden every single one of those rides. Hurler was unusually brutal. Even in early years, I got a bloody knee...but in later years it was like riding an earthquake. So glad it got the RMC treatment!!

@CoasterConnections 2 месяца назад

Thanks man! I’ve only ever ridden Twisted Timbers and its sister at Carowinds has been closed on my visits. Ridding like an earthquake made me laugh, great analogy! 🤣

@@CoasterConnections Of course, Ive gotten older. The last time I rode Hurler I thought it compressed my spine and caused kidney damage. :)

@cailin5309 Месяц назад

I actually really loved the hurler! It was rough but so fun lol I guess I’m an unpopular opinion though 😂

@cashonly8385 3 месяца назад

Another great video!!

@CoasterConnections 3 месяца назад

Thank you. The lost rides are some of my favourite to do!

@KDGoldenYears Месяц назад

Nicely put together with some great nostalgia. Rare footage from the Land of Dooz and Diamond Falls. Just some honorable mentions here, that wasn't mentioned. Racing Rivers, Sky Pilot, Apple Turnover, The Time Shaft, Sky Ride and of course the beloved Yogis Cave. But overall, great job.

@CoasterConnections Месяц назад

Thanks you for this! There are unfortunately too many lost rides to cover in one video! I appreciate you watching 😄

@TracyGibbs-hr5bg 5 дней назад

My favorite was THE HAUNTED RIVER!!!

@CoasterConnections 4 дня назад

I never got to ride, but it looked like fun! I love the old commercial for it.

@pikaszablak7933 10 дней назад

I wish I could have gone on the Volcano Blast Coaster. Well at least I went on Shockwave.

@CoasterConnections 8 дней назад

That one coaster I would have loved to ride too!

@Aaron-mu8ow Месяц назад

For senior skip day, we went to KD and rode SM 3 times in a row. The next day we made "I survived Smurf Mountian '88" t shirts. That's all I have to say.

@CoasterConnections Месяц назад

Three times in a row 🤣

@randybristow5638 Месяц назад

King kobra was my favorite ride, i also miss the Apple Turn ovet

03:28 Hello from Brazil. Stopping by to talk a little about Katapul. In 2021, the contract with Warner Bros was finalized and Katapul, as well as its thematic area, was uncharacterized. At the end of 2022, a major renovation of the attraction was announced for 2023. The roller coaster had all its parts, bearings, engines replaced and the launch system is practically the same as the factory one. Five sections of rails (2 at the base of the loop and 3 more at the beginning of the front spike) were changed and even gained new colors, pink rails and cyan supports. Two million were spent on this renovation. Hopi Hari has a fictional country theme. Katapul is located in the capital of this country called Aribabiba (a word created from Hopês, a fictional language for the fictional country and which means “living life with joy”). Katapul has become this region's time machine and I assure you that this darling is in good hands and is much loved.

Thank you for this! I appreciate you taking the time to share the detailed information and local knowledge about this ride. I visited Alton Towers when it was located there, but can't remember if I rode or not so don't include it on my count. Maybe I need to come to Brazil to experience it!

@force9446 Месяц назад

Wowww im just now finding out they removed “The Crypt” that ride squeezed tf out of your legs but man was it fun 😂

@CoasterConnections Месяц назад

Those restraints! I always wonder why they squeeze so much!

The old Dominion line is the Green Train at Busch Gardens Tampa

@CoasterConnections 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the extra info! I will remember this next time I ride.

@donibritts2911 2 месяца назад

Little known fact: The green train at Busch Gardens Williamsburg - The Alpengeist Express, is the train from Lakeside Park, the park that used to be in my home town of Salem Virginia. Just a bit of very little known history. FYI: Lakeside Park in Salem Virginia was home to the once longest, tallest, fastest roller-coaster in the world...The Shooting Star. Only eventually beaten by the Screamin Eagle at Six Flags St Louis. But, the Screamin Eagle was built on a hill, so the Shooting Star actually still had the tallest structure.

@CoasterConnections 2 месяца назад

Wow! Some great trivia there. I loved the Screamin’ Eagle when I visited last year. That’s a hotly debated topic… how you measure height! 😅

@donibritts2911 2 месяца назад

@@CoasterConnections Yeah. The Screamin' Eagle was made by the same person who made Shooting Star...John Allen if memory serves. Their layouts were almost identical. I'd love to get the Six Flags to ride it. Be like nostalgia riding the Shooting Star again. :)

@cailin5309 Месяц назад

KD is nothing without volcano! Also the tomb raider ride… I think we can blame for low sperm counts in men lol it was very rough on the lower regions 😂
