Avalanche, Steel roller coaster at Kings Dominion, US
The Avalanche roller coaster reaches high speeds through its twisting track layout, featuring multiple steep drops and sudden turns along the course.
Kings Dominion introduced the Avalanche as part of its expanding collection of attractions following the park's establishment in central Virginia during 1975.
The roller coaster represents the evolution of amusement park engineering, attracting generations of thrill-seekers from across the eastern United States.
Visitors need to meet specific height requirements and secure all loose articles before experiencing the rapid accelerations and forces of the Avalanche.
