Ask KD: part 2
Once again I had a chance to sit down with Kings Dominions Marketing Manager, John Pagel and ask him some questions that you, the fans turned in via the forum. This is what he had to say:How big does Doswell (Hanover co) want KD to get? - cpmill1
Kings Dominion still owns large amounts of property that is undeveloped and there are currently no restrictions that have been placed on KD specifically regarding growth.
Are there any height restrictions on how tall you can build a coaster? - cpmill1
Generally, at this point there aren't any restrictions on how tall coasters can be built. The Doswelll Hanover Co. area doesn't have height restrictions on structures.
What would you say is KD's biggest asset? - cpmill1
Location within Large MAJOR DMAs of D.C., Richmond, Norfolk/Hampton Roads and ROOM TO GROW!
Will Kings Dominion ever re-pave their parking lot? - TheMysteryMiner
Its been on the "things to do list" for a few years
Will KD try to compete with BGE's Christmas Town? - KDFAN
NO. KD conducted research (years ago) to investigate the viability of a X-mas event. The results said, "no." BGE has a built in x-mas market in the Williamsburg market, so they should be successful.
Is Nickelodeon leaving? - Lake Charles Guy
The Nick licensing agreement expires at the end of 2009. At this point, that is all the information that is available.
When does the contract end for Kings Dominion to have the rights to use Scooby-Doo characters/themeing? - BuschSchoe
Nickelodeon's is up at the end of the 2009 season. Scooby can stick around for a while, KD does not have a specific end date.
Could Hanna-Barbera ever come back? - Lake Charles Guy
Possibly, but we must take into account, brand power.
Once the contract does end with the Nickelodeon and Scooby-Doo characters/theming, are you going to use Peanuts theming like the rest of the Cedar Fair parks? - BuschSchoe
It is too soon to assume that we will not renew with Nickelodeon
Is Cedar Fair happy with our attendance so far? Did Dominator pay off? - cpmill1
KD has a great year in 2008 and we-expect another great year in 2009. With the challenges of 2008, like gas prices, it was hard to gauge the true impact of the Dominator. We loveIT!
Why is Kings Dominion getting so many re-used stuff lately? A reused coaster, 2 re-used flats, a re-used show, whats up? - TheMysteryMiner
Does Re-located ride mean "not as good" NO. Re-located rides allow KD to continually expand our selection without breaking the bank.
What is the timeframe, if any, for the replacement of Coca-Cola with Pepsi? - Travis
Coke is KD's official beverage. The current plan for the Kings Dominion is Coke through the 2011 season.
Next week another batch of questions will be posted along with the answers from John Pagel. If you are interested in asking Kings Dominion a question please visit this forum where you can post your questions and they will be submitted to Kings Dominion!
