Kings Dominion, Amusement park in Doswell, Virginia, United States.
Kings Dominion spans 280 acres with more than 60 rides, including 13 roller coasters and a 20-acre water park called Soak City.
The park opened on May 3, 1975, with initial attractions including the Rebel Yell roller coaster, Lion Country Safari monorail, and a collection of flat rides.
The park influenced local education policy through the Kings Dominion Law, which required Virginia schools to start their academic year after Labor Day.
Located 20 miles north of Richmond and 75 miles south of Washington D.C., the park operates seasonally from spring through fall with varied admission options.
The Intimidator 305 giga coaster, added in 2010, features a 305-foot drop and reaches speeds of 90 miles per hour on its steel track.
