Wild Ride
Yesterday, my girlfriend and our friends went to Kings Dominion just outside of Richmond, VA. We rode the following (in order from best to worst):
- Volcano (2 times)
- Anaconda (2 times)
- Hurler (2 times)
- Flight of Fear
- Drop Zone Stunt Tower
- Rebel Yell (Forwards and Backwards)
- Grizzly
- Tomb Raider
We also went up the 1/3 replica Eiffel Tower. Here are views of the park, I took from the observation platform.

Finally, the two wood coasters in the shot are the Hurler and Grizzly from left to right.
The day was a great break from living energy that I have been otherwise. I know this sounds like I'm a big nerd, but I found myself calculating the Kinetic and Potential Energy in the Drop Zone stunt tower… I just can't escape Energy!
