Coaster Jeff | Hypersonic XLC at Paramount's Kings Dominion from opening year, 2001 @coasterjeff2664 | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Construction pics and footage of the ride from opening year with the bulky trains. The ride had many problems and rarely ran the full day at the park. It had one of the best launches ever but after the hill the coaster had a laughable layout and the ride used rubber tires that blew out constantly under the extreme forces. New trains were put on the ride in 2002 and made the reliability better but great. The ride was torn down in 2008 after only seven seasons.
