The thing about PKDs expansion WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED ANOTHER WAVE POOL! Id rather see something like Hurricane Mountain. But Zoom Flume and Tornado are great additions.

Big changes planned for Kings Dominion in'07

Richard Zimmerman likes talking about many of the positive changes taking place at Paramount's Kings Dominion since the park was sold this year. But the biggest ones he touts are the $5 drop in admission price for next season -- the first decrease since the park opened in 1975-- and an $11 million addition to its water park. "We are now part of a company that only runs theme parks. This is their core business," said Zimmerman, the park's vice president and general manager.

And he expects more changes for the northern Hanover County theme park, including the possibility of additional roller coasters.

"I think our guests will continue to see a lot of investment in the site with new products that appeal to all ages," Zimmerman said. "There will be a great deal of excitement happening out here. They are bringing a lot of exciting things to the table."

Cedar Fair LP, an Ohio-based partnership that owned several amusement parks, bought the five Paramount parks in June.

The name won't change -- at least for now.

"No decision has been made yet, but that is one of the issues on the table," Zimmerman said.

The Cedar Fair ownership means more attention is being made to operating the parks and to boosting attendance, he said.

Kings Dominion, which draws more than 2 million visitors a year, hopes the drop in admission price will help. The price will be $44.95 for adults.

Admission for those under age 3 or older than 62 will change to $24.95. A child ticket was $34.99, while a senior ticket was $39.99.

A ticket to enter the park after 4 p.m. is back, for $29.95.

The park's WaterWorks area is receiving its first major expansion since 1999. The park is adding a second wave pool, a Tornado attraction that spins and churns and a Zoom Flume rafting ride.

A little birdie told me that the 2007 product announcement will be in late January.

[CoasterChris]

A little birdie told me it's Frenzoid night in the middle of County Fair.

[bgwfreak]

I thought I shot that birdie down last time.

So are you saying where the games are now? Otherwise I can't see how it would fit.

[Carowindsman]

yeah lol thats what he is sayin

[coasterbruh]

A little birdie told me it's Frenzoid night in the middle of County Fair.

Funny...a little birdie told me frenzoid was going where saturator is and well that was getting the boot. I was told that another kiddie wading pool was going in the middle of county fair...

[MarkD]

yea, I thought Action Theater was being torn down and that was where Frenzoid was going. After all they don't want to loose all those games.

[bgwfreak]

^ No. That's where the hyper station is going. Remember all the construction by Thuner Road last year!?!

They are waiting until March to start construction again so they can build it really fast.

[MarkD]

^ Oops, mybad. I forgot. How could I forget all those "construction" pics I saw.

[bgwfreak]

Yep. Thanks Rollernut wherever you be.

[montumax]

So, I guess we'll get an influx of concrete and trash cans now in the County Fair area?
