Kings Dominion (September 21, 2013)

Made a trip with Kaye to Kings Dominion on September 21, fun place and the day was wonderful to check out some of the sights. It was a work related event (work paid for it) and started as usual with a trip up the replica of this structure in France. Very cool thing, was told it took 15,000 bolts to put together, is a 1/3 replica, and was built when the park first opened in 1974. I have been on its sister in Ohio (at Kings Island) but very nice views from the top. I actually got up there twice, first time with Kaye, second with Kaye and some friends (we met there...its sort of easy to find).   

 This is one of the views from up there, big orange ride is The Intimidator 305, which is how tall that is. Very cool ride, though did not get to ride it this trip (did on other visits. We did get to ride quite a few rides while there, but had to get to another event in the mid afternoon - plus there was a good chance of rain -and the skies did unload later in the afternoon with some very badly needed rainfall ! We though were dry during the visit. Lots of fun places to see there, and the park was getting ready for their Halloween event coming up, so a lot of cool things to see all over the area. In this area the State Fair will be held next week. 

I also did not get to ride this ride, but did think it was very cool. Park got pretty crowded as the day went on, and of course as noted time was not on my side.
We did go to Kaye's grandson's little league game where the rains also held off. All in all, it was a very fine day, and we had a wonderful time.
Next weekend I am making a return trip to Carolina, so will have a few photos of that trip in my next post here. Looking forward to a fine time, have not been there in a few weeks, used to live there, though finding more and more that Richmond is a very fun and interesting place. I am planning right now to stay here for the rest of my life, though that may change as time goes on, but that is my intention as of now.
Hope you are enjoying these posts and that you can visit again soon.
