It has been accepted for inclusion in DLSC Faculty and Staff Book Gallery by an authorized administrator of TopSCHOLAR®. For more information, please contact [email protected]. IN c I N Bowling Green, Kentucky, founded in 1798, is a beautiful Southern city nestled adjacent to the Barren River and set amid the undulating foothills of south~central Kentucky. Long before Bowling Green was known as the home of Western Kentucky University, the General Motors Corvette assembly plant, the National Corvette Museum, and the birthplace of Duncan Hines of cake mix fame, the town forged a progressive but not aggressive attempt to become a community of consequence. The Civil War hampered this progress, but the march quickened after the difficult years of Reconstruction. Transportation was always an important component of this growth. Over the years, Bowling Green enjoyed access to good roads, river traffic via steamboats and barges, rail service on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and, by the late 1930s, a developing airport. This transportation infrastructure placed Bowling Green on solid footing to benefit from the economic boom after World War II.

By Stephen Peeples of Lynchburg, VA August 9 Oceanfest- A small but eager group gathered at 5 AM, with a light mist falling. Each person Jolly Roger Amusement had to sign in once the Kings Dominion employees were ready. Most attendees Park, Trimper’s were ACE members, with a few Coaster Zombies along to fill out the group. First Amusement Park & up was a continental breakfast just inside the front gate at around 5:30. The food Baja Amusements wasn't very settled when our hostess led us back to Dominator. September 12 It was a little surreal walking through the quiet park before 6 AM. Unlike the usual Go-Karts Plus morning ERTs, the rest of the park was NOT waking up. All was still, except the September 13 test runs of Dominator. (What a great sound it is to hear the B&M roar at King's Busch Gardens Europe Dominion.) The grass was not filled in yet and the queue area was not finished, but otherwise the landscaping around the ride was very nice. We climbed the stairs on October 11 the right side of the station (to be used for single riders or a "fast-lane" queue?) and Fall Thrillfest Kings Dominion arrived at the brightly lit loading dock.
