Paramount Pictures’ Blockbuster, The Italian Job™ Comes to Life at MidAtlantic’s Favorite Theme Park

DOSWELL, Va. — Next spring, Paramount's Kings Dominion will debut its 13th exciting coaster complete with the thrills of a Hollywood blockbuster. With the addition of THE ITALIAN JOB™ STUNT COASTER, guests of all ages will experience a unique, fast-track coaster experience that brings to life one of the most thrilling movie chase sequences ever filmed in Hollywood.
Based on the high-action finale of Paramount Pictures’ The Italian Job (2003) starring Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Seth Green, Mos Def, and Donald Sutherland, this exciting new coaster will take families on a high-speed stunt car adventure through movie sets and scenes inspired by the film’s climatic chase sequence.
From the moment they board their very own MINI Cooper S, park guests will immediately be surrounded by the sights, sounds and scenes of a Hollywood action movie. Asked to help “film” the final chase scene from the famous movie, THE ITALIAN JOB™, riders quickly become stunt car drivers as their cars races out onto the track. Each MINI Cooper S is tricked out with audio special effects that add to the multi-sensory sensation of the experience, and as the custom stunt car MINIs peel out, everyone is transported into the stunt chase sequence. Drivers twist through a parking garage, dodge near-collisions, race down stairs, chase through tunnels and narrowly escape massive explosions triggered by gunfire from a menacing helicopter. Tires skid out one last time as the stunt cars crash through a billboard and splash down into an L.A. aqueduct concluding the chase sequence and their screen test trial as a stunt driver.
THE ITALIAN JOB STUNT COASTER is the perfect complement to Paramount's Kings Dominion,” said Richard Zimmerman, executive vice president and general manager, Paramount's Kings Dominion. “Just like any great movie, this new coaster has surprise and suspense at every turn. The interactive experience totally immerses families into the thrills of the movie and they will want to ride it together again and again.”
THE ITALIAN JOB: STUNT COASTER is scheduled to open at Paramount’s Kings Dominion in 2006.

Awesome...
Although... Katie, you might want to edit your post and take out all of the HTML code.
Any chance DCMM could stage a special event for opening day of the coaster? VIP treatment if you own (and bring) a MINI? Sure would be nice to get in on the first day without waiting forever in line. Similar to the one they did up North earlier this year.

Son, dear...
I was reading this on the fly, and just copied directly here from email that I was checking
Geez. 
As to an event...we'll see. It opens in May, but doesn't say what date. Let's get the Dragon (1st weekend in May) organized first then we'll see...We could make it an East Coast event or strictly DCMM.
One thing at a time.....I'm old, dammit.
