Pros: thrilling roller coasters, variety of rides
Cons: smaller, less attractive than Busch Gardens

Okay, I admit it...I love roller coasters! I love the speed, the twists, the way your posterior kinda jumps off the seat as the coaster crests a hill, or the pit that jumps out of your stomach as the coaster drops down a steep precipice. I love the ...

Cons: Hot, Bad Food, Few Shows, Expensive All-around, Uninteresting Theme, Unhelpful Employees, A little Dirty.

At 25 years old, Paramount’s Kings Dominions is only a couple of years older than me, and I have been visiting the park for almost as long. The park has changed a lot in the many years, and although I will always enjoy my trips to the park, this...

Pros: Lots of rides, world class rollercoasters, new freefall tower for 2003.
Cons: Other then the rides, there is nothing particularly special.

I live about an hour north of Paramount's Kings Dominion, and have visited the park more than a dozen times from 1988-2002. Being that the park is opening up for the 2003 season soon, I decided to share my thoughts.

General...

Pros: Easy to find, Rides for everyone, Usually open for about 12 hours
Cons: Can be costly, Long lines on the weekends and holidays

If you live in Virginia, and have yet to discover Paramount's Kings Dominion, then you've been missing out on a lot of FUN! I've lived in the state of Virginia for about 10 years now and have visited Kings Dominion at least 10 times. I feel like I know ...

Pros: Large collection of rides, excellent water park (recently increased to 20 acres)
Cons: Getting there on I-95 can be daunting, especially on weekends when traffic is VERY heavy.

First of all, the park is no longer owned by Paramount. It's now part of Cedar Fair, which owns one of the country's best parks: Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. I've been going to Kings Dominion since it's opening day in 1975, and have seen many changes ...

Pros: Great Rides, Nice Park, Beautiful Scenery
Cons: Expensive, Not As Great As Busch Gardens

All summer my two best friends and I have been waiting for the day to go to Kings Dominion. One of the friends has a season pass and loves the park, but I haven't been there since I was seven so I had no idea what to expect. So we hopped in the...

Pros: fun rides, not too crowded, pretty cheap
Cons: some dumb rides

I will be the first to admit it; I'm not one of you hardcore rollercoaster people. I enjoy rollercoasters and will go on them, but I don't try to break any records or see how many times I need to ride before I vomit. I just enjoy them. I'm not seeking...

Pros: Great Rides
Cons: Virtually none

Ever go to the traditional Disney World? Or how about a Six Flags? Kings Dominion is in my opinion, they most under-rated theme park in the country. It features, rides, attractions, and more fun than any other theme park that I have...

Cons: Very tired feet, HyperSonic XLC, heat, extremely pricey food and drink

Last weekend a college friend and I went to King's Dominion. We'd talked previously about going somewhere over the summer, but we didn't know exactly where. King's Dominion seemed like the best choice because of it's location.

We live on...

Pros: Tons of rides, shows and shops
Cons: getting really expensive

I have been coming to Paramounts Kings Dominion since I was 5 years old. Back then it wasn't bought by Paramount and it wasn't nearly as good as it is today. There are not just rides but shops, shows and game rooms to occupy your time. This is a great...

Pros: roller coaster city babeee!!!, kids rides, waterpark included
Cons: expenses, people (but they are everywhere you go anyhow....)

Located outside of Richmond, Virginia, Paramount's King Dominion is a theme park with tons of great things to enjoy!

I have not been to the park in several years, however I know I will be going back soon. I basically grew up going to this...

Pros: Rides, Location, Price
Cons: Needs more coasters!

I remember my first visit to Paramount's Kings Dominion. I was amazed that the huge and thrilling ro ...

Pros: Grizzly
Cons: everything

I grew up in Virginia and Kings Dominion used to be THE place to go and spend your summer days. What used to be a great amusement park has plummetted downhill so fast that I'm surprised people still pay the outrageous price to visit.

Don't...

Pros: I didn't pay
Cons: everything

I had turned down free tickets to Kings Dominion in the past because of my dislike of the park but I accepted this time because I would be spending a little quality fun time with my family.

The regular ticket price is about $38 dollars for...
