Rapterra Report - Kings Dominion 2025 Update
Following the exciting announcement of Rapterra, it’s time to launch into our construction update.
Construction began in January 2024, and has been progressing swiftly. Fencing was placed throughout Jungle X-Pedition to allow the construction team to groom the former Volcano: The Blast Coaster site and start digging footers in the midway.
Guests noticed large boxes throughout the area when we opened for the season covering those footers. The fence was eventually moved to allow access to Reptilian and the midway around Tumbili. Then, mysterious Jungle Hawk temple symbols appeared on the fencing overnight in late May. In mid-June, massive talon marks appeared on the fences, accompanying the symbols.
Meanwhile, sections of track began showing up in our parking lot holding area in early June. Behind the fence, the construction team installed the first pieces of track on June 18.
76 total pieces of track will make up this record-breaking ride, all manufactured from Clermont Steel Fabricators in Ohio. The ride’s designer, Bolliger & Mabillard of Monthey, Switzerland, creates some of the best roller coasters in the world. Some of these include our very own Dominator, Cedar Point’s GateKeeper, and Carowinds’ Fury 325.
The construction crews quickly completed the launch section of track, and electricians are busy connecting the wiring to operate all of the linear synchronous motors that will launch the train forward at 65 miles per hour in under four seconds! This will be the very first Kings Dominion roller coaster to use LSMs to launch riders. Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, and the former Volcano: The Blast Coaster used linear induction motors. The difference? LIMs use inductors to propel the fins under the roller coaster trains forwards, while LSMs use electromagnets.
In late July, construction made its way onto the midway and the tallest point of the ride - the 145ft Wingover turn - was topped off! Crews worked hard overnight during midway construction so as not to disrupt daily operations. Luckily, we were there to capture the moment!
Shortly after completing the highest point, the construction team completed the 119ft Dive Loop element - the first inversion of three on your 89-second journey through temple ruins. The S-Turn and Wing Slide are nearing completion, so be sure to stay tuned for future blog updates!

The intense launch thrusts you skyward to soar 145 feet above the jungle floor. You plunge downward into a steep dive, gaining speed before pitching upward again into a tight dive loop - the first of three stomach-churning inversions. Like a Jungle Hawk, you weave through the air, gracefully shifting from side to side and changing direction and altitude as you please. After soaring high above t...

I will definitely ride this next year when I come here since i never rode a wing coaster but It’s nice for next year like June or July 2025!
I’m going to Kings Dominion today!
I hope y’all add some near misses elements plssssss
BAD IDEA! Go play in traffic!
so will it have near miss elements like keyholes found on other winged coasters?? 😉
This is great! I'm so excited to see more of what goes into the design - how much was the park and how much was B&M, for example. I also am really looking forward to see the theming, and I hope that there is some sort of near-miss keyhole element incorporated into the last inversion 🤞
this is like menacing minute lol
Cant wait. This is my home park and I know it needs more attention
Cant wait. This is my home park and I know it needs more attention
🔥
I’m so excited for this! #gokd!!!
thank you for the update! so excited for this coaster and can’t wait for opening day! 😄💚🩵🎢
I could've sworn that they already posted this video yesterday.
On Instagram
🎉
they should add a near miss part bc thats kinda almost what makes wing coasters
Eughhh why’d it shake like that- 😭😭
Wooden coasters shake
@@KingTito-mg8bn the ones I’ve been on never shake- is grizzly old or something?
@@LunarOnPawzzz they do since coaster structures need to sway to prevent snapping
A great beginner coaster
Welp I know what park im going to next year!
i thought it was opening in 2025?
Yeah it is, it's still under construction. This is just an animation showing how it'll look once it's done.
Are your shins supposed to hurt on this ride? or was that just a tall person problem? I felt like my shins were going to snap in half on those air time hills.
Can’t wait
RIP to Every Togo Stand Up Coaster in North America King Cobra (1984-2001) at Kings Island. I’m surprised this one didn’t run longer. SkyRider (1985-2014) at Canada’s Wonderland. Shockwave (1986-2015) at Kings Dominion. &… Wait, that’s it!?.
This makes up for volcano and them taking like 2 years to repair delirium BUT DELIRIUM BACK AND WE GOT A BETTER VERSION OF VOLCANO did I mention worlds fastest and tallest launched sing coaster that's probally gonna be more popular than intimidator--- project 305 I mean and it's gonna go all around the jungle and were getting a retheme for project 305 and flight of fear or we can call it project of fear and I hope they redesign back lot stunt coaster to match the theme i can't wait for 2025 they biggest or 2nd biggest year for kings Dominion and did I mention the redesign for Victorias pizza and the racing cars this might beat the year when intimidated and domination came out in fact I think it does beat it W year
Good thing I don't live too far this looks fun. I HOPE I CAN BE THERE WHEN IT OPENS
Great addition, though I feel like B&M should’ve gone a little more out of their comfort zone on this one.
Game name?
@KingsDominionVA, I think you should add the effects that Kings Island has in the launch tunnel. It'd be more cooler!
Too damn short lol
me and my sis and step dad go to kings dominion sometimes so we exited
YIPEEEEEE
I'm glad they saved the old Hurler and made it into something better!!
As someone who's home park is KD, I think it's a great addition. The only thing it needs (as said by other creators) is a near miss element.
I definitely wanna go on that one
I love the ride design. I know we can’t have volcano back but the fact that this ride gives the volcanic rock theme, launches, hangs, and twists the riders. Gives new riders a taste of volcano and what it was about. Hate me but it’s a good edition, we can’t look in the past we can only go up from here. Good job KD
Nice it's like iron menace at dorney park in pa, but a longer track
Booooring
It looks scary cause the sound effects but no the ride was Awesome
This one feels more like a woodie than some of their other designs. Nice, since they are responsible for the partial extinction of wooden coasters.
As someone who has been on this ride you just get off in a different room
Im definitely ridding this!
Im looking forward to my next visit to Kings Dominion in summer 2025!
both, grizzly of i had to choose one unless racer 75 is racing and i have a friend to race me on the other train.
Still miss volcano
I'm riding Rebel Yell
BOTH "also I love king dominion is the best theme park"
KDDDD I LOVE YOUU
Hopefully there will be two trains. Unless loading and unloading is quick. 👀
Yay😊
Nice!
Kings dominion is so fun I can’t wait to go today
Why do that when you can ride roller coasters
