Crazy fact - I have not yet been to Kings Dominion even though it's only 4 hours away. Just by circumstance, every time I've been up that way it has been either for an event at BGW or a planned visit with friends to BGW. This will definitely be an excellent excuse to get up there and finally get my KD creds.
As far as wing coasters, I've been on Gatekeeper at Cedar Point, Wild Eagle at Dollywood, and Thunderbird at Holiday World. I've greatly enjoyed all of them and I'm sure this will be no different.
Bonus props to Arthur for knowing who Pantera is. I used to wear out the album "Cowboys From Hell" in high school. :)
I think you're just missing X-Flight at Six Flags Great America! That ride has some pretty sweet keyholes and a tight layout, which makes it one of my favorites. Start planning that road trip!
I was at Kings Dominion in 2018 (the year Twisted Timbers opened) but opted to skip Volcano because 1)There was a long line and 2)My kids weren't tall enough yet so I would have been in line by myself while they were exploring other things.
I kinda regret not riding it one last time...
I like winged coasters, but some people may complain they are not "intense" enough or whatever (what a terrible argument, by the way). If this ride is on par with Thunderbird, guests at Kings Dominion will be treated to a great, new attraction, and probably gives me another reason to get back to that park in the future.

4 hours away? And you've never been? 🤔
This is also the guy who thinks Fury 325 is better than the one and only Millennium Faaaarrrcccceeee so we need to keep that in mind 🙂
Sorry CJ, I'm going to have to agree with Tim on that one.
Hey you're the one calling it the Farce, not me. =P :D

I like X-Flight as well.

Volcano was really something. Such a great concept. Loved the launches, especially since they were fairly novel when the ride first opened.
