Monday morning the entire camp loaded up and headed east and slightly south to King's Dominion. They arrived by 10:00am. The groups assembled to receive their lunch money and apply sunscreen and then they were off.
Several groups lined up first to ride The Dominator. Not only is it the first ride as you enter, it is considered by most to be the best coaster in the park. Some of the groups got back in line to ride it over and over again. If you stand underneath this ride, you can feel the wind tunnel it creates.
This amusement park is set up nicely. There are plenty of shady areas and places to eat all over. They even have a water park. A few of the guys cooled off later in the afternoon by taking a ride on some of the slides.
Our group wore bright orange WFS Sports Camp t-shirts. They could be spotted all over the park. Centrally located in the park, is a replica of the Eiffel Tower. From the top you can look down and see groups of orange all over.
The camp spent almost eight hours at King's Dominion yesterday. The park was quiet yesterday. Our guys would get off rides only to get back in a short line and ride again. A popular ride to go on consecutively was the Drop Tower. This thing takes you up only to drop you down quickly and then stop mid-air. The look on some of their faces was priceless.
Other favorites included Volcano, Anaconda, Intimidator and Hurler. Additionally, some of the boys won prizes at the basketball shoot, football throw and other games. Some of you might be taking home an addition to your family this weekend! Coach normally encourages our kids to "donate" these types of things to other kids they see in the park...
Today we pick up more tournament games. The playoffs are heating up.. We should be playing championship games by Thursday.
