Area wise it’s big. For layout wise it’s not the greatest shape.
Not really. The additional land back there is maybe a quarter of the space you can already see in the picture, when you consider that it’s boxed in by power lines, service roads, and Kingswood. It’s a tiny plot of land any way you slice it.
Is this the point in the conversation where someone suggests a Polercoaster?
KD objected to that photo and a video that KD Fanatics posted and made them take them down. KD said they were taken behind the scenes, though KD Fanatics says that was not the case, but they took them down to stay in good graces. Kind of weird that KD would object to Volcano deconstruction photos all of a sudden. I can still see the photo at the link above, though. Maybe it's cached.
Sighs.
Parks get away with this shit because fansites let them. Imagine if KD called up a local newspaper and asked them to do something like this—the paper would (rightfully) tell them to get lost. It's a shame fansites aren't willing to take the same stand.
How much space is there?
Cut and pastes same scale. Dominator:
Afterburn from Carowinds:
Lech Coaster from Poland:
Most coasters are too long or odd shaped to fit the space, but their overall size is not a problem.

According to the Hanover County website, Kings Dominion filed for a Site Plan Amendment on May 10th (Project #19-30000015). It could have nothing to do with Volcano's replacement, but I thought it worth noting. Their site is not as forthcoming with details as the James City County site is, but as it does list quite a few different groups required to review this application, it would seem to be a pretty significant site plan amendment.
There should be a small description of what type of work they are planning on doing. It's how I debunked the permits that were really for an Ice Machine and Racer's new op panels.
Unfortunately, there was just about nothing in there. The only thing I found was a GPIN number for the location, which looks to be along Doswell Road (which is the road that goes behind Volcano)
It's really not that big of a space. I used to be in the camp that a big coaster could go there, but after seeing it in person, it's not much. I can see a compact coaster like a Mack or Gerstlauer, or a few flats at most. The best fit, in my opinion, is a Gerstlauer. There is nothing like it close to KD and it wouldn't set Cedar Fair too far back in terms of cost. Put a light package on it like they did with Hangtime, boom, instant crowd pleaser.
Because the park has enough flats and Delirium looks ugly enough on a flat surface
Like if you’re not gonna put a coaster then at least do some cool themed experience. Don’t make it Six Flags America 2.0.

I don’t think putting a few extra flats in an empty space is gonna turn the park into a “Six Flags America 2.0”. KD has a nice collection of rides and is a lot prettier than people give it credit for.
