Dignan17,

The Reverend beat me to it...I live down in Hartsville, SC. My brother (also an empeg owner) lives in Mechanicsville. It's a good meeting place as my sis and her husband live near Baltimore. I've been to KD probably 10 times since I moved out from Cali in '90. It has gotten significantly better as far as rides go. You should check it out again.

I went to Busch Gardens this year as well (March). I enjoyed it quite a bit. The themed areas are much cooler and the shops and food are better. The coasters that they have are good too. Kings Dominion is up to like 10 coasters now, including 3 of those high-speed launch rides . It's definitely worth another trip when you get the time.
