Editorial Review for Paramount's Kings Dominion – by Charleen Pine
Overview
The rides at KD are some of the best on the East Coast. For the smaller kids, KD teams with Nickelodeon for a wealth of colorful activities, from interactive shows and tame rides to special appearances by Blue, the Rugrats and Scooby Doo. When you can't take the heat of the summer asphalt trails leading from coaster to coaster, check out the 19-acre water park. The price of both parks is included in admission.
The Experience
The Hypersonic XLC launches into action with record-breaking acceleration, going from 0-80 mph in 1.8 seconds, then dropping passengers face-first straight down. Also well worth the predictably lengthy lines are the Volcano, Anaconda and wooden classic, the Rebel Yell. Be prepared to gorge yourself on the standard, high-priced theme park junk food fare, but the addition of adult beverages and veggie burgers is a welcome treat.

Insider Tips
When to GoThe park is less crowded at the opening and close of the season and mid-week.
What to WearMake sure you wear comfortable shoes, and plan your outfit knowing you'll get windblown and wet.

I THINK THIS PARK SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 NOT 2 BECAUSE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. 2 PARKS AT ONE TIME TRULY GREAT AND ENOUGH THINGS TO DO TO AMUSE THE AVERAGE PERSON AND MORE THAN ENOUGH ROLLER COSTERS
