I hope it gets the Batman theming back.
Dominator Renovation
- Thread starter Intimidator325
- Start date
In 2026 we will be focusing on our core, core operating season. Please join us for a summer of splishy splashies at Soak City!*
New for 2026: We are refreshing the park by removing all of the roller coasters* and replacing them with picnic areas. Dominator is being re-themed to Batman and will return for one final (literally only one) season (summer*) in 2026.
your season pass may stop working if we don’t make enough money by July. No promises Batman won’t get shipped out to another park before the season actually starts. Yes we’re just a water park. No promises the park will actually open at all. Give me your money.
Geauga Lake Revamped!

The coaster has a great layout with great pacing. It not just continuously inversions like most B&M inverting coasters. It has elements between the inversions.
I find the ride unbearable though because of the vibrations in the corkscrew portion of the ride. It definitely needs some retracking.
The unthemed station and barren ride surroundings don’t look good. It could use some retheming. But I would prefer junkyard coaster get rethemed first.

The corkscrew parts have a bad rattle but calling it "unbearable" is a crazy stretch. In the front it's barely even there. Dominator at its worse is far smoother than the wodden coasters in VA. Hell verbolten is "rougher"
@Blauer how did you ride Dominator if the park is never open?!?! Please, let us know!
If we're gonna renovate Dominator, I'd suggest starting with the really shaky exit ramp. Please stabilize that so it doesn't feel like its about to fall apart under the weight of everyone trying to exit the ride.
Just the entire ride area is a total eyesore. Realistically I'm not expecting much in 2025 here, but hopefully it can be the start of a larger rejuvenation process for the whole area from Berserker's plot down through the Dominator area. It's desperately needed.
I assume we should just expect a fresh coat of the current colors on this "refresh"? If so, that's unfortunate as I doubt they'd repaint it again in a few years if a renovation project was implemented. Slightly biased, but I still love the concept from page 1
It's not in original condition, but I think it's one of the best looking and dramatic areas around any coaster anywhere.

If they're playing the long game with a full area refresh down the road, perhaps the current paint job is planned to complement it? Or if they simply repaint the same colors, that's ok too.
