NEW Paint! Ricochet is looking good for 2018!

New Paint Ricochet got some attention over the winter to compliment the new Twisted Timbers coaster going in next to it.

New Name Ricochet is now known as Apple Zapple and the entire coaster got a fresh coat of paint. Here's what the train cars look like now.

I'm not sure if these people were getting pelted with rain drops or not, but there's a storm approaching Kings Dominion that did eventually shutdown the coasters for a good half hour or so.
