Kings Dominion Ultimate Tour - Virginia Amusement Park - Ride Tour and Review #travel

Look where we're at today. Kings Dominion with the Eiffel Tower behind it. Alright, we're in Kings Dominion today. I can't wait to show you. I used to come here a lot, but I can't wait to see what's new here since I've been here. I'm going to give you a complete tour of Kings Dominion and all the rides. We got 60 plus rides and attractions to get through. We better get started. There's the candy shop on Main Street. Let's just take a stroll in here. It looks like it's a souvenir gift shop. Anything Kings Dominion related is in here. Alright, and this is the trademark, the symbol of Kings Dominion. It's this miniature Eiffel Tower. The Dominator. What is this all about? It looks insane. There it goes up the hill. Wait till you see this come screaming by. Alright, here it comes. The Dominator. Wait till you see this thing come flying right for you. Around the loop, and it's a high loop, and follow through. I tell you, as you walk through this park, it is beautiful. There's aretas. You always want to have custard on a hot day. Oh, and they got signs everywhere to tell you where to go. This ride is why I came back to Doswell, Virginia. The Berserker. It's my favorite ride in this entire park, and you're about to see why. This thing will go the entire way around. It's not your little kiddie pirate ship by any stretch of the imagination. One more time should do it. Oh yeah. Alright, maybe one more. Fast forward this thing. That's the ride of the day. The Berserker. As you walk through this park, you see stuff like this. Great landscaping, waterfalls, and up here's some of the rides. Let's continue on, but do you see how clean this park is? And here's the antique cars you can ride on. Here's the antique cars that you can ride on. I tell you, it's not busy today. I'm second in line. It's a Tuesday. Alright, we're on the antique cars. I'm going to show you what this tracks like. There's 60 some rides and attractions in this park. I can't wait to show you some of these. I'll tell you one thing, there's a lot of woods in King's Dominion, which just makes it a cooler experience. Oh, we've got a tunnel. And yes, they've got even a King's Dominion Theater where they do shows. And it looks like it's also open for the haunted attractions over Halloween. Oh, and every amusement park's got to have a log ride, right? Shenandoah Lumber Company. I don't know if that's what this is called or not. Ah, here comes one splashdown. Whoa, I think we stepped into the Philadelphia area. Alright, this candy grove I think is unique because do you see the size of these candy apples? If my wife was here today, she'd be tearing into that thing. Look at that ride in between the trees. This is called the Flying Eagles. I think every amusement park has one of these. You fly sore, but what's caught my attention is do you see the greenery around this ride? The landscaping is beautiful here. Alright, this is the Grizzly. To get back there, you've got to go through the store. Welcome to the Grizzly. There's the Grizzly mascot, I think. The Grizzly rollercoaster is a fast wooden rollercoaster that takes you through the woods. Here it comes back from their experience. And there's Grizzly Gulch, population 12. OMG, what is that? Not the thing in the foreground, the thing in the background. Those huge swings, that's high. That thing is called the Windseeker. It reminds me of the one in Six Flags called Wonder Woman. But man, you can't even see the people on it. It's that high. Alright, this caught my eye. The Jukebox Diner with an old, looks like a 56 Chevy. But is this cool or what? Old style diner with shakes, burgers. I see fountain sodas. I might have to just walk in there. Oh yeah, I see mac and cheese. Oh man, those onion rings look good. This is true diner food, right? I tell you one thing, it's starting to get hot here. And I'm thirsty. This place got milkshakes back here. Alright, I was at the Jukebox and somebody said you gotta try their fried pies. So I got the fried cherry pie. Look at that thing, it's massive. Alright, that might be the best dessert I've ever had in an amusement park. The crust is so flaky, it tastes like apple pie crust. It's awesome. Make sure you're trying this if you come to Kings Dominion. Alright, right next to this Jukebox Diner is this wooden roller coaster back here. Maybe you see this first hill. You see the steel beams coming down? It's called the Twisted Timber. I wonder why. Oh, look at that, looks like Mater in there. The truck. If you know that, comment below. Alright, there it goes, up that hill. Now you see what I mean up here? Watch, they're gonna turn, twist, coming through here. Alright, here's the Twister Shop. What's in here? They got plenty of shopping in this place, you can see here. Look at this thing coming at you here. Yeah! It's called Apple Zapple. That's unique. Look how high this thing is. I think every amusement park's got something like this. Oh, I see lots of games here. Here's basketball. I'll do a turnaround. There's crane games. All kinds of games up this way. If you like that kind of thing. Oh, and every park's gotta have a Ferris wheel. King's Dominion is no exception. There's an eatery, Boardwalk Fries. I feel like I'm at the ocean now. Here's another roller coaster. The Racer. You see that hill back there? This is why it's called the Racer. There's two lines and two cars. And they race each other. When I see all this fence, all I think about is who's gotta paint all this? But here it goes. Racer 75. Here they come. Red's got the lead. Oh my goodness. So how we doing on the ride count? I hope somebody's counting, man. Because we're just getting started. Let's continue on. Oh yeah. They got a carousel here at King's Dominion. Alright, besides the Candy Apple, this is how you tell a park a good one from a bad one. In my opinion. How well do they take care of the landscaping? And look at these ferns. They're incredible. Is that what I think I'm seeing? It's called delirium. A swingy pensionum. It doesn't look like it's operational today. Oh my God, what is that? Those things are swinging every direction. I'm not getting on that. And I like the name of this ride. It's called the Bad Apple. You see what I mean? You want a tip? Come here on a Tuesday. I could walk on every single ride today if I wanted to. Alright, look at this thing. It's the Drop Tower. Scream Zone. Do you see how high this thing is? I don't know if it's open. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Funnel cakes and fried Oreos. Oh, and every amusement park has got to have one of these. The swings. The one that I don't like. But if you do, they got one in King's Dominion. Alright, this little street, whatever you want to call it, is called Candy Grove. But there's another sign to tell you where to go to get on rides. What do you see over here? It's a pizza place. And it's beautiful. Oh, and let me tell you about this pizza place. If it's a hot day like it is today, they got A.C. Alright, and every amusement park has got to have one of these, right? Bumper cars. But I will tell you one thing. They're not the fastest I've ever seen in a park. Check out Knoebels. They have some of the fastest bumper cars I've ever seen on the East Coast. Look at all these rides. Anaconda, Reptilian. More this way. This side of the park is called Jungle Expedition. I don't know what we're going to find over here. But let's go look. I'm on a mission looking for something that I want to show you. But I've got to find it first. Look at this side of the park. You'd think you're in a jungle. There's an airplane. Must have crashed here. Oh my God, look at this. It's called the Bureau of Paranormal Activity. I wonder what this is all about. It looks like it's probably some kind of roller coaster that's indoor. I can't show you. But this is cool. Here's the Intimidator 305. And there's the Intimidator number 3. You all know who this is. Oh my God, look at that hill. It was stopped in the middle and that was going up. That is a huge hill. Looks like they're testing it. Anaconda. The roller coaster. They've got drink stations all over this park. Backlot Stunt Coaster. These look like little cars. Alright, look at this roller coaster. It reminds me of 1 in 6 Flags called the Joker. You're hanging out over the side. This thing is called Tumbly. And you'll see why here in a minute. Because you just tumble over and over. Look at that. Hanging out over the side. Oh yeah, there it is. Arachnidia. It's kind of like the Scrambler if you've seen it at other amusement parks. That thing is moving. Arachnidia. Right next to this is the Reptilian. I'm not sure what this is. I'm guessing it's a roller coaster too. There you go. It's kind of like a toboggan ride. Single seater. Yeah. That looks like fun, right? Alright, I was told to eat in here because apparently they have great brisket firehouse barbecue. Let's go inside because I've been waiting all day for this. Smoked brisket, fresh break cornbread. Oh my gosh. Okay, I got in there and I didn't get the brisket. I saw the pulled pork and I had to get that. But do you see this side of corn? It looks amazing. Alright, I'm going to try to eat and hold this thing. But man, this pork looks incredible. Look at that. It's so tender. Can you see that? I think she said it was fried corn. The spices in that are incredible. And cornbread. You've got to get that with barbecue. Oh, welcome to Snoopy Town or Snoopy World. Look at this. You've got these little roller coaster up top that's elevated there. But when you're walking through here, you never know who you're going to see. There's Sally. And there's the little guy himself, Snoopy at Planet Snoopy. This ride is called the Rocket Express. Oh, look at this. A driving school. It's called Joe Cool's driving school. Look at those little things. Oh yeah, they look like fun. There's Charlie and Sally. Look, you see this? They've got stop signs, red lights in here. What a way for the kids to practice their driving skills. This roller coaster is called Woodstock Express. Alright, look at this old style roller coaster. It's not for really adults, but it's still fun. There are a lot of rides over here in Snoopy Town, including this one. I love the tugboat. It just looks like fun. Peanuts Turnpike. But look at this. They've got monster trucks. Your kids will love these, right? Oh, you've got to have hot air balloons on a nice day. Oh, and they've got all kinds of kid shows here. Make sure you stop in and see them. This is a Charlie Brown pirate show. Every place you turn, there's a new kids ride. I tell you, they have more kids rides than any amusement park I think I've been in. See what I mean by how they decorate this park. This is a beautiful display here. All you campers out there, this is new. Kings Dominion Camp Wilderness Cabins and Campsites. Looks like it's a KOA. Another example of above and beyond landscaping. This fountain goes all the way down there and performs. This is how you wrap your day up. A root beer float on a hot day. I've got a long drive ahead of me to get back home. This will help me get there. Till the next time, make sure you're liking and subscribing. Click that notification bell and get to Kings Dominion. It's a fantastic park and I can't say enough about Soak City. This says it all. Have a great day.
