Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, has been a major East Coast amusement park since opening in 1975. Developed by the same team behind Kings Island in Ohio, the two parks still share some unmistakable similarities. International Street welcomes guests at the entrance, while the park’s Eiffel Tower has remained one of its most recognizable landmarks for decades.

The coaster lineup ranges from the classic wooden Grizzly to the towering giga coaster Pantherian and the modern wing coaster Rapterra. Beyond the roller coasters, Kings Dominion offers a wide selection of thrill rides and family attractions, along with the included Soak City water park during the summer season.

Away from the major attractions, tree-lined pathways and spacious park areas give Kings Dominion a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. Even on a busy day, there are plenty of quieter corners to explore between rides.
