Rapterra Media Day at Kings Dominion

Picture
Hey there Park Journey fans and welcome to our comprehensive look at the all new coaster Rapterra, the culmination of years of planning and kicking off the 50th anniversary of Kings Dominion! 

I believe this is the first time we've ever covered a media event at this park and we were thrilled that fan of the site PJ was able to head over to the park to not only get an incredible on-ride POV (seriously, have already heard from people who "don't like" on-ride POV's that they actually loved it) but we also have a comprehensive look at the ride and other prep for the 50th anniversary of the park. 

So let's head right in. 

And thanks again to PJ for the amazing coverage. I think we can all admit he knocked it out of the park! 
Picture
Let's start off with a few pictures provided by the park showing off Rapterra. Being from the West Coast I've only ridden 2 of these (X-Flight and Gatekeeper) but I loved both. We need one of these out here.

It's not a media day with out food. Or in this case, Kings Dominion showing off some new food for their 50th celebration!

A couple of weeks ago the park announced a 48" height requirement for the coaster. Which was a very pleasant surprise!

I don't usually buy "coaster shirts/hoodies", but I have to admit, I like this one

Thanks again to Kings Dominion for being so kind to invite us out to today's event, it's appreciated always. And another shout out to PJ for the incredible coverage today!
