Kings Dominion Amusement Park...Two Parks in One!
Two for One!Kings Dominion Amusement Park is not only an amusement park but also a water park. You get both parks for the same price. You can ride all the rides and play all the games on the dry side of the park and then ride all of the water rides in Waterworks. Unlike Busch Gardens and Water Country USA, both of these parks are in one location. You pay to park once and play at both parks. My family and I enjoy visiting Kings Dominion Amusement Park and we have a great time. I have two young daughters and this park is geared both towards children and thrill seeking adults. Look below to find out how to get Kings Dominion discount tickets.
Kings Dominion Amusement Park is home to Nickelodeon Central and most of the kid's rides are themed around the Nickelodeon characters like The Rugrats, Scooby-Doo,The Jetsons, Sponge Bob, Dora and Blue's Clues.
There are two kids coasters and my older daughter's favorite ride: Rugrat's Toonpike. This is a small track with cars that the kids can independently drive around following the street signs. There is a children's stage as well as a character parade and meet-n- greet with the Nickelodeon characters.
The WaterWorks park is very limiting for children under 48". If your children do not make this hight restriction there are only three activities in the water park they qualify to ride. In my opinion it is not worth it until your kids are over 48". If you want a more kid-friendly water park try Water Country USA. One other option you can take advantage of is the Parent Swap Pass. Stop by Guest services when you arrive and they will issue you a pass that allows only one parent to wait in line for the whole family. At a certain point the rest of the family joins the line and everyone rides together. This is perfect for those inevitable bathroom runs or tantrums! For Thrill Seekers My husband is a huge thrill seeker and he has conquered all of the roller coasters at Kings Dominion Amusement Park. And they have a bunch! This year they have added their best roller coaster yet... Make sure you check out the Dominator. The Dominator is a 4,210-foot steel coaster which is the longest floorless coaster in the world. When you ride it you fly through gut-wrenching loops, rolls and corkscrews at speeds up to 65 mph! "Awesome" was all my husband could say!
Just listen to him scream. You can tell it is terrifying!
Kings Dominion Amusement Park ranks their thrill rides from 1-5. Here are the rides they rank 4 and 5 on the thrill meter! Kings Dominion Park
