Anaconda, Steel roller coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia.
The red-painted steel coaster stretches across Lake Charles with yellow rails and green supports, incorporating multiple inversions and water elements throughout its course.
Arrow Dynamics constructed Anaconda in 1991 at the former location of King Kobra, marking Kings Dominion's first roller coaster with multiple inversions.
The placement of the coaster over Lake Charles created a water-integrated thrill ride that influenced subsequent roller coaster designs across American amusement parks.
The roller coaster operates with two trains of seven cars each, accommodating 28 riders per train and processing 1,400 passengers every hour.
Riders experience a 144-foot descent that leads into an underwater tunnel before ascending through a vertical loop and navigating through a sidewinder inversion.
