Looks like the controlled access to Tidal Wave Bay was short lived.

I don't think the photos are super recent.


Also, as always, incredible work @zachclarke. There's no one in the world I'd rather see climb i305 with a camera.

Just realized Tumbili is being built in the background of one of the pictures.

I like what you did with the vignettes on the night shots, makes me feel like I'm greying out

It appears Kings Dominion has elected “not” to open the Giga coaster by Spring Break. Like all of it no I305 per their KD Blog post.

A very intaminless Spring in Virginia so far.

If the supply chain issues are affecting its’ annual maintenance, they may not have a choice in the matter. I know we love i305 as it’s the only giga in Virginia, but we can’t control the supply chain.

Yeah this has no impact on if I am visiting the park this weekend or anything it's 20 minutes away with an operating RMC.

 

[Crunchewy]

2.5 hours to and usually 2 hours back for me. At this point, with no flights & bites and no free credit for another visit, I will wait for i305 to be open I think.

Hey now! There’s always Berserker!

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Ah yes that fills the void, we’re good now.

I find it annoyingly frustrating that KD elected to use i305 for so much of their spring break marketing without opening it.

Anyone have any insight into its continued closure?

Both trains have been sitting there for weeks completely uncovered and protected, just like when they had to replace the lift motor, as if they're pissed off at it (or no one has been assigned to do anything).

shit bouta get volcano’d

 

[Gavin]

Can’t, none of the prerequisites have been met yet for it to be “Volcano’d”.

 

[Jonesta6]

Afaik they've worked through Intamin for parts and ride programming, so it's not a dispute with the manufacturer...

 

[CoasterAuditor]

I wish the park would give an idea when this may reopen. Definitely a major con to going the longer it’s down. I need my face melted off! Especially after Skyrush threw me all over the place last weekend.

 

[Coasternerd]

I made note of the tracer lights over in the grizzly thread… how come this doesn’t use them anymore, like its sister over at Carowinds?

 

[CoasterAuditor]

I305 honestly could use a light package of any kind although I love my dives into the abyss from the heavens
