Kings Dominion



Today we visited Kings Dominion in Doswell,Virginia. It was pretty cool but the 305 ft. thrill that we wanted to see The Intimidator when our two team members went to see how it looks(not ride) the lady said they were changing the tires on the cars. We spent most of the time in the water park Water Works. So we read the Anaconda, Backlot Stunt Coaster,The Grizzly, and the Rebel Yell before lunch. After lunch we didn't ride much due to the heat but we did ride a few. I rode The Avalanche 3 times, The Ghoaster Coaster and then we left.

(Continue reading for reviews on rides)



The Anaconda

The forward movement of this ride is rather fluid which was balanced by the sharp side to side motion. This snake themed ride matches the serpent like motion which goes with the theme of the ride. If you are of afraid of heights,don't ride this!!! It is right beside the Intimindator. The reason I said if you are afraid of heights is because of the 144 ft. drop straight down. The corkscrews were fun!I would give this on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 6.

You should ride this if you are a major adrenalin junkie.

max. height 48 in.


Backlot Stunt Coaster

This is an ultimate junior coaster especially

the killer launch system that powers your kinetic energy through the whole coaster.

I love the spiral lift in the first of the ride. The helicopter scene is awesome,too. If you like fast rides with fast lines (most of the time) this is your type of ride! It will cool you down on a hot summer day, and leave you amazed. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's a 4.

max. height 48 in.


The Grizzly

This old country legend of the huge grizzly bear in the old forest of old Virginia. This wooden coaster is really rough. It definitely shows that it has went through 28 years running for the park. It bangs your head pretty hard. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's a 3.

max. height 48 in.
