Dominator Review

For this review, we've traveled back in time to my visit to Geauga Lake. Anyways, after getting into the car and pulling down the shoulder harnesses, the floor drops and you are out of the station. The ride starts out with a fairly big dip out of the station before assecending a lift hill. Up and Up we climb. If you looked to your left, you wuld've gotten a good view of the lake. Then we reach the top. We twist down to the right and plummet to the ground. Faster, and faster, we eventually reach our maximum speed. By this time, we are seriously hauling ass. Then we soar right up into a bigass loop. You get some pretty sweet hangtime at the top of the loop. Then you start to gain a lot of speed and plummet straight down to the ground. After going through that huge loop, you get whipped through a high speed turn. While the laterals arn't Wild Mouse intense, they are pretty good for a B&M Coaster. After zipping through that high speed turn, you roar straight into an overbanked turn. (Ok, it's not an overbanked turn, but you get the idea.)After plowing through it and getting some more laterals, you drop back down and rise up into a Cobra Roll. We rise upsidedown once, twist to the left. Twist back upsidedown to the right and come out the same way you entered. Then we rise up to a gradual turn where we rise up to the left and head straight for the mid course brakes. The way Dominator goes through them, you'd think that it was just some straight track. We then get a nice pop of airtime before dropping off the mid course brakes and head straight to the first corkscrew. We get yanked to the side as we plow through the first corkscrew. Then we get yanked to the other side as we fly through a turnaround giving us some pretty good lateral Gs. Then it's time for corkscrew #2. We twist right on through before twisting up to the right, and making a quick turn to drop back down. There we go through a final ground hugging turn, then you turn to the other side, before rising up into the brake run. And you get airtime on that hill into the brake run. During my three hours at Geauga Lake, I managed to get 7 rides on Dominator, two of which were in the front. While Geauga Lake is dead, Dominator still lives on at Kings Dominion. If you are ever at Kings Dominion, I would HIGHLY recommend riding Dominator. According to Cody, it's the star attraction of the park. (For now.)
