Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Anyone ever been there? I'm going on a trip to Virginia soon, and I was wondering how it was there. Any help is appreciated.

I've been there, but it's been a few years.
Very nice park, lots of landscaping and good food also parking is confusing, that's really all I remember.
I'm sure someone can add more.

That park is great. Alpengeist is the best invert out there, and Apollo's Chariot is alot better than Raging Bull. Loch Ness is sweet also, its over a river, includes 2 lift hills and a helix in a rock formation or something. It's one of if not my favorite Arrow looper. Big Bad Wolf is a good ride, great drop over the river.
And next year they will have a new coaster, probably a dive machine.
Coaster Count: 128
#1 Coaster: El Toro

I like how they made interlocking loops on Loch Ness Monster.

Very Beautiful park. Very clean. Rides are good. Heres my opinions though
Alpengeist vs. Batman the Ride: Batman the Ride wins
Apollo's Chariot vs. Raging Bull: Raging Bull wins
Lockness Monster vs. Demon: Lockness Monster wins (however, you cant move your hands in the harnesses)
Big Bad Wolf vs. Iron Dragon (Cedar Point): Big Bad Wolf wins (by a long shot)
The Curse of Darkastle vs The Adventures of Spiderman (Islands of Adventure): Spiderman wins (again, by a long shot)
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

^I dont think you were at the right park. How the hell is Bull better than Chariot? Chariot doesnt trim to 5 mph on the second hill.

It looks like Goliath at SFOG.
No wonder why people like Apollo.

That Escape from pompeii is really cool and destroys Splash Water Falls Apollo's Charoiit isnt as good as RB but i think Alpengeist is the best ride there.

Thanks guys.
The park sounds great, but I won't be able to ride the new coaster, because this trip is taking place in about three weeks.
