Kings Dominion is an amusement park located in Doswell, VA, 23 miles north of Richmond and 83 miles south of Washington, DC on I-95.

The 400-acre (1.6 km2) park is currently owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, and was part of the former Paramount Parks chain that Cedar Fair acquired from CBS Corporation on Jun 30, 2006.

The park was named after its sister park, Kings Island in Kings Mills, Ohio, which opened in 1972.

Kings Dominions name was more than likely a reference to Virginias nickname as the "Old Dominion".

It offers a full day of fun with more than 50 rides, seven roller coasters, live family entertainment and a 19-acre water park.

It is known to have some of the best roller coasters in the east coast.

Before i moved to GA, i lived in VA. Me, my family and my friend would go to Kings Dominion in the summer like 3 times a week. I have done everything in that park. Rides, shows, roller coasters, water works ( water park), been in every store, all the arcade games and their events ( halloween and more). I am not kinding i got season pass every year.

@najellin Yes, but i still beleive that they should of done better, and canada's wonderland is in canada. "hints the name"

Kings Dominion has better scenery at International Street than Kings Island. KI's is just a big concret slab with a fountain in the middle and buildings all around.

@rollercoasterking1 How could you go to four parks in two days? Besides being exhausting, how do you make it to all four in that short amount of time? I went to Cedar Point this year and took four days off to go there (2 days at the park and 2 days driving); I was so tired after going on that trip. I couldn't see going through 4 parks like that without having to rest in between. Theme parks are fun but they also can where you out, you know what I mean...

@stangsaleens7 They want Cedar Point to remain their best park, that's why. Kings Island already outpacing them in attendance, so another giant coaster would push them that much closer to being better than their flagship park. However, the true leader of this competition is Canada's Wonderland - they're the #1 visited seasonal theme park in North America.

Kings island is way better than kings dominion. Kings dominion is lucky tho cedar fair is giving them the intimidator 305 witch is 305ft tall when cedar fair fucked diamondback witch is only 230ft tall, their retarted they should of gave kings island a 300+ ft tall rollercoaster too.
