Both parks have similar boat rides, which do you think is better?

Viking Fury is an enjoyable ride that the whole family will love.

Berzerker is all the fun of an asthma attack combined with a claustrophobic's worst nightmare and wrapped in a ride cycle that feels like it's never going to end. Berzerker is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment and has probably been considered for use at Guantanamo Bay. It brings me joy to imagine my enemies riding Berzerker.

I chose Viking Fury.

Viking Fury is enjoyable, while Berzerker is just a little bit over the top.

When I first saw the subject of this thread, I thought that by boat ride, you meant log flume. Only once I saw the options did I realize you were referring to the viking ships.

occasionally, like in our case, Pirate ships!

I'll tell you my opinion in two weeks. I assume I will like Berserker better because it offers more thrills.

Do you like intense pain? If you do, you'll love that insane Virginia contraption. It also helps if you are under 20.

Null vote, only because I haven't ridden Berserker or any other swinging ship that goes upside down.

That said, given the reputation that Berserker gets around here, I'm surprised it has 30% of the vote so far.

I haven't been on Berserker but ridden similar ones and they are never as fun as they look. Viking Fury is a lot of fun though, plus it has a great setting surrounded by trees and the pond.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised Kings Dominion's is still there. It seldom has any line, few repeat ride it, the placement in the park is not all that great.

Then that's me. I'm 12.

^...and you might feel like you're 33 when you're done riding it.

Alrighty then. How do the Kings Dominion junkies like it?

They typically don't. The ride seldom has a line.

Terp, who lives 7 hours closer to Kings Dominion than to Kings Island.

You will also probably have an easier time finding Kings Island's swinging ship with the park map, for what that's worth...

Is it easy to find in the actual park itself?

300th post!

Yeah. You enter the park and make the first left off of International Street. Berzerker's location is to Kings Dominion as the Festhaus's location is to Kings Island, except there is no Kings Island Theater pathway at KD. You really can't miss it... no matter how hard you try.

Bezerker was very uncomfortable i couldn't wait to get off.

Said the man who adores violent, intense INTAMIN coasters.

That should tell you volumes.

wow.

Thanks. I really want to try it because of all the bad rep.

You'd have loved Son of Beast, then.

I did. I went on it once in 2009 when I was 7, and loved every bit of it.

I'm very glad you got to. Many didn't.

I still like Banshee better though... But I'll never forgive them for removing Son of Beast.

I'm probably in the extreme minority that kind of liked Berserker.... At least the Carowinds version. Yeah it hurt, and my dad almost lost his phone, but I liked the hang time. Maybe it's just because of my age.

Neither imo since they make me sick.

My favorite boat ride doesn't even exist anymore. :/
