National Rollercoaster Day plans?

    Just asking what plans people have for National Rollercoaster Day? I have never been on a coaster on National Rollercoaster Day but luckily that is changing, I will be at Kings Dominion, which will be awesome for the lights on Flight of Fear ride(s)!

    That sounds awesome!

    I will be heading back from Kings Con, but we plan to hop back in the park that morning before heading home just so we can ride something for National Coaster Day.

    We are trying to decide between stopping in to ride a couple rides at Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Kings Dominion on our way home.

    Can't go wrong with either! I'm personally doing Kings Dominion because it's the only time this month I'll be able to go and want a lights on Flight of Fear ride.

    I totally get that... They don't run it often with the lights on!

    I was thinking about going to Kings Dominion since Carowinds is closed, but haven't decided yet.

    Interesting. Well happy National Rollercoaster Day to all that celebrated, and if you didn't I still hope you had a good day! Unsurprisingly, Kings Dominion was full of enthusiasts. I even met another ACE member! Having never been to an event, being able to talk with a stranger about such an awesome hobby is great, and definitely a great introduction into the community and what it's like! A Flight of Fear lights on ride was great, even though there was a decent bit of downtime around 6.
