- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Join us for my first ever visit to King's Dominion amusement park in Doswell Virginia as part of our March 2022 road trip from Florida to Virginia! We explore this beautiful park on a windy March day, and ride favorites (and not so favorites) like Twisted Timbers, Grizzly (a classic wooden coaster celebrating it's 40th birthday), Racer 75, Boo Blasters on Boo Hill, Flight of Fear, Intimidator 305, Blue Ridge Tollway and more! Sam rides their brand new ride, Tumbili for us, we eat some tasty theme park food at Grain & Grill, and take in the atmosphere, scenery, music and views of this unique Cedar Fair amusement park in Doswell, VA! It really is a very pretty park with lots to offer and I'm so happy to continue our journey to attempt to visit every Cedar Fair park in the USA! Thanks for joining us for this road trip, we already have the next one planned and it's SOON!!
(Note: The on-ride POV clips of Twister Timbers & Racer 75 is King's Dominion footage they make publicly available, since they don't allow filming on rides I included those snippets to give you an idea of what they are like. All other footage of course is mine, as always.)
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we visit fun and unique travel destinations, theme parks and attractions, road trips, resort tours and so much more. I hope you enjoy the videos, thanks for being here! ❤️

Love them all
Oh wow...I feel they hit copy + paste on this location when having gone to Kings Island for over 30+ years.
And I'm jealous they're already open. I have to wait till Good Friday for Kings Island. 2 extra feet to the track on The Beast this year!
@@vandy0419 Yea that's why we have to wait to do the others bc we are waiting for them to fully open for the season!
You need to continue North and stop at Hersheypark, in Hershey, PA! Excellent park with great rollercoasters which opens for the season this weekend (April 2)!!!!
I’m 48 years old. The Racer 75 will always be The Rebel Yell to me. It was the first big coaster I ever road as a child. The Rebel Yell!!
Should’ve been there when volcano was still there. That coaster was AMAZING
Volcano was my favorite coaster that I had ever been on!
I was so sad last summer when it was closed. I even remember, and loved, the Haunted River ride that was in that mountain before Volcano!
Volcano was the best!
That was my number favorite coaster. It was so smooth and the speed felt on launch was awesome!
Very first launch coaster! Unfortunately it just was impossible to do maintenance after awhile
As a person who grew up with The Grizzly (literally, I’m 47), I was so glad to see you all as first timers give it so much love. It will forever be my favorite coaster, so it warms my heart to know that not only is it still there but also that it is still all wood and hasn’t been refurbished into a hybrid.
Boo Blasters used to be themed to Scooby-Doo. Park was once full of Hanna Barbera characters. I can still remember walking through Yogi's cave as a kid.
I love wooden roller coasters!
Glad you liked VA! Busch Gardens is definitely my preferred park over Kings Dominion. We grew up going to both, but BG has always been the superior park in my eyes. It reminds me of Epcot in a lot of ways. It has always been cleaner, has better themed attractions and is maintained better as well I think. However I do mis Dark Castle. Wish they would bring that back.
It has been so awesome seeing you go to Busch Gardens and then Kings Dominion. I live in Maryland and have been to both parks so many times. When Racer75 was Rebel Yell, 1 track went backwards. It was so fun! Your videos bring back so many great memories.
Disney is cool but it’s fun to see some different places outside of Florida. Kings Island is my home park and they have some really amazing coasters too if you’re doing Cedar Fair parks. You guys are always so fun to watch!
Love that you caught someone waving on Twisted Timbers, how cool!
I thought that was so sweet, love that!
One of my favorite sounds is a roller coaster making its way up a climb and then the release of the drop. I love that.
Oh yes, Tommy, me too!! I loooove that sound!!
Are you kidding me?? That's our home park. We would have loved to have met you! Glad you were available to visit. Come back when it's warmer or during a festival.
Great video! Really enjoying your road trip! Thank you for sharing your adventures! 👍
I love the whole look of this park! I think you and Sam can make anything look fun, you both have a beautiful way of finding the joy in everything ❤️
That’s so kind of you, Kirstie!

Thanks, Jackie and Sam for such a great vision into the King's Dominion fun-time!
I remember when Grizzly opened. It was one of my favorite coasters back then and I still love it!
Yes, I did search for "singing mushrooms" on RUclips. They were awesome. Enjoyed seeing this park, thank you for bringing us along.
Being a Cedar Fair park it does have a bit of a Knott's vibe...and I guess apples instead of boysenberries! I'm getting to the point of not liking even easy roller coasters any more but still fun to watch you two!! Thanks for taking us along.
Wow! Thank you both for this vlog! I haven't thought about King's Dominion in forever! To be honest I didn't think it was still running. I remember going there a couple of times as a kid around 1979-80. Brought back so many memories, thank you!
Boo Blasters is always a ride for my friends and I when we go. So much fun!
My backyard !!! Welcome ... I hope you have a great time in Virginia .
I wouldn't be scared to ride, but I'd get sick intsa migraine, dizziness, bad neck. Fun times Jakie I love you and Sam 🤗
Venture up to Ohio & hit Cedar Point and Kings Island to really get your thrills!
We will visit Cedar Point a little later this year!
@@SuperEnthused awesome! I grew up in Ohio. My 2 home parks plus Carowinds in Charlotte. Once you hit CP you won’t look back! Especially if you love coasters! That Fast Lane plus there is worth the investment there. (Plus covers all the rides…regular excludes some of the bigger name attractions)
@@SuperEnthused It's my home park. Up there at cedar point all the time. Big fan of your channel and would love to run into you. The entertainment is really good also
I would do Cedar Point at Halloween (my fave time to make the trip over there) and consider Kennywood in Pittsburgh PA too if you get a chance. Its rated among the top for Halloween events. The park is smaller, but it has some classic wooden coasters (not wood-look, but actual wood), I think the only surviving Noah's Ark funhouse, and the newest coaster at Kennywood, Steel Curtain, is AMAZING (came off not knowing which way is up, but it was simultaneously such a smooth ride). If you do happen to swing up our way for the spooky season I recommend checking out Scarehouse too.
Great Video. Haven't been there since the 80s when I went down for my cousin's wedding. Lots of memories. Thanks.

Thanks so much for sharing and making my morning a little more fun. 🎉
So glad the weather cleared up for you. 💞
-Troy & Aimee
Hahaha love that you picked up on those!!
Thank you both so much I enjoyed every vlog 😊 other than it being a little cold your journey was awesome thanks for sharing
If King's Dominion is anything like King's Island you sure had fun! LOVE the Cars, they have them at King's Island and I visited way back in 1975! Some more of these rides are at King's Island! So enjoy them. Finally, the weather there was one of the things that keep me in Florida! The winds sucks there.
After seeing this, Virginia will now be for Super Enthused Video Lovers! You did their park proud!
Ahhh I loooove that!! Thank you I really tried!!
At least you got on the Intimidator 305. You go girl! :)
I did it! Never doing it again, but did it ahhaa!!
@@SuperEnthused You and Sam rock! 🙂🙂🙂
Yay! It’s Jackie and Sam! Thank you for this video! I haven’t been at Kings Dominion in years! What a treat! Thank you Jackie!🥳❤️💜🎉 🎠 🎡 🎢
Wow! Those are some crazy coasters. Thanks for sharing your fun day! 🤩🎢
Great footage of kings dominion ! I’ve always wanted a quality video for this park and you have provided!! I love this road trip you all are doing. Can’t wait to see where else you go!
Ah this makes me so happy, thank you!!! I try so hard to do justice to anywhere I visit and I'm glad I hopefully did KD justice!
1 of my fave parks growing up...We took youth trips down there with my church several years in a row when I was a kid/teen. I hadn't been in yearssssssssss and took my son a few years ago for his 1st time. I still love it. Twisted Timbers is one of my favorite coasters anywhere. I loved the Rebel Yell coaster (now Racer 75). I loved when you could choose forward or backward. My friends and I would ride one way, get off and run back into line to ride the other direction. I love wooden coasters. Back in the day The Hurler was my fave wooden coaster there (Wayne's World themed). That one was so fast...and seemed to go faster towards the end of the night. The Grizzly was a lot of fun too. I have some amazing memories of King's Dominion. I'm glad you went. I immediately smiled when I swe the thumbnail and title. Thank you for sharing.
I went to King’s Dominion in 1988 with my High School Band! The only ride I remember being on (I was never a Coaster fan 😂) was the Old Cars! That was Thirty plus years ago! 😱 😂
My Wife and I live in Toano area right outside Williamsburg and after going to Busch Gardens all these years, we just got Season passes for Kings Dominion this past December, We loved their winter fest so much more then the Busch Gardens one! Really looking forward to a awesome year at Kings Dominion!
Hi Jackie and Sam. Love the Road Trip Part 1 of 2022. With the Wind did You and Sam get to Fly a Kite. Thank you for Showing everyplace you have been to. Keep on having Fun.
Had never heard of this park, thank you for showing us. It was great fun. Loved the little cars like Toad of Toad Hall. Cheers
Love your road trip vlogs and all of your vlogs! Always checking to see when you have posted a new one 🥰
We live 10 minutes away from KD. Although we go to Florida every year, Disney is making us love our local theme park more and more.
This was my first theme park as a kid, I got over my fear of roller coasters on the Volcano (RIP)
Oh my goodness! My parents would take my sister and I there as kids; I miss all the Hanna Barbera characters it has been so long!
I'm one of those crazy people that loves super intense coasters. I always tense up and white knuckle it, make it a challenge. I know not everyone will enjoy them though. Great video as always, Cedar Fair parks a great value
You’re not the only one. But I can see how a balls-to-the-wall intense speed monster like I-305 could cause problems with some
Thank You for taking us along with you and Sam Kings Dominion looks like a fun little park.. But there is no way in the world that I would ride that one ride..
Racer 75 was originally named the Rebel Yell and both sides ran at the same time. They also at one point ran them backwards. Boo Blasters was a Scooby Doo and the Gang ride but they lost the rights to use Scooby when Paramount sold the park to Cedar Fair.
Great video. The funny thing is that Intimidator 305 is my favorite coaster in the park. Nice showing the ACE plaque. ACE, American Coaster Enthusiasts, is a great coaster club.
Yes we love our ACE friends! Been running into them at the openings of every coaster lately - Ice Breaker, Iron Gwazi, Pantheon. They’re always so nice and excited to be there. I even gave them a shout out in my Iron Gwazi vid!
This is a Great place to have fun. Good for you. Enjoy. OOO MY Goodness Sam You went on that ride right after you ate oooo No. Thank You for sharing your vacation.
Intimidator gave me a headache, so I don’t ride it anymore. The Flight of Fear used to be “Outer Limits Flight of Fear” and was based on a movie. It used to have a lot more theming. I remember when it opened, and I waited in a really long line for it! 😂 When the park was owned by Paramount there was a lot kore theming.
Another bit if history… before Paramount, the kids area was Hanna Barbara themed and you could meet the Flinstones, Scooby Doo, etc. I have pics of my kids with them. I still call the rollercoaster there “the Scooby Doo”, even though Cedar Fair changed it. When Paramount bought the park, the kids area became Nickelodeon Themed, and I have photos of my kids with Rugrats,Spongebob, and Blue. There was an adorable iBlues Clues house with an interactive queue leading in to meet Blue. :)
See I would have loved that!
Scooby doo was my very first coaster! Great memories
There was more theming when Paramount owned the park, but Cedar Fair has made the park much nicer and cleaner with more foliage. They also don’t have a bad habit of buying prototypes which inevitably have to be removed. RIP Volcano and Hypersonic XLC. They’re lucky Flight of Fear worked out being the first LIM launch.
wow you guys rocked another video. I truly am enjoying these vlogs. I haven't been to king's dominion I'm years. Now I want to go again. love the content. keep going Jackie!!!
Thank you for these vlogs! You guys are such a positive and sunny force in this world!
🙏🏼 thank you, Roxanne!
Looked like a perfect day out at the parks
Kings Dominion is a lot of fun. You should totally check it out at night. The International Street looks incredible at night. Also, Grizzly and Twisted Timbers are incredible at night. It's a shame that Volcano still isn't there. I'm curious to see how you like Cedar Point and Kings Island. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures.
My goodness how fun was that! Yea not riding those coasters either! Thanks for a great video! ❤️🙏
I haven’t been there in years , since we lived in the DC area. We always had a great time there. Thank you for sharing your adventure there. Have a blessed weekend. ❤️
Carowinds will be holding the "Stateline Celebration" starting April 9th. Lots of area food and entertainment. Hopefully your journeys will allow a trip this way!
Love this! My old home park. It was always a ghost town on Wednesdays, even in the summer. I went every Wednesday, because Wednesdays were my Saturdays. Season Passes were really affordable. I love the Grizzly and the Rebel Yell.
LOL! "For the first time on this channel, I'm going to say it.. I hated it." Great video Jackie! So happy that you all had a such good time on this trip!
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
It was nice saying hi to you at BGW Friday (if you don’t know, I was the one that said hi in Festa Italia towards park close).
As a Virginian who LOVES your channel, I must say it’s very Nice to see you and Sam exploring the VA parks and the VA area. Even though I like BGW more than KD, I will say I still really love BOTH parks, especially with how different they are. 1 park is about the coasters and more of an amusement park (KD) and 1 is about the landscaping and more of a theme park (BGW) and it’s pretty cool. Twisted Timbers is my favorite coaster at KD for sure, And haha yes, sure I may love Intimidator but it makes me feel exhausted after like 2-3 rides on it lol. Very intense haha and I can see why you wouldn’t be a fan of it. Grizzly, yes the roughness to me kind of makes the ride fun lol and nice to hear someone else thinks the same.
But yeah KD is a pretty nice amusement park and has nice charm to it. Nice to hear you had a great time! And I loved this video as always ☺️
Friend, your first time???????? Oh no!!!! You missed it in its Hayday with Volcano!!!! I am happy you were able to finally visit!
I knooooow, I’m sad I missed volcano!
Thank you for visiting our home park! It’s not usually that dead but the wind last weekend kept even us from going. Y’all should come back for Haunt and Winterfest, it’s soooo much fun.
My home park!! I haven’t been back in quite some time so I haven’t had a chance to ride Twisted Timbers, but it looks awesome. I used to go to Kings Dominion all the time in college, as it wasn’t too far a drive from campus. I was actually a scare actor for one night at their Halloween Haunt! Racer 75 (though I knew it as Rebel Yell) and the Volcano (now gone) were some of my absolute favorites! And the Intimidator is an INTENSE ride but amazing at night. I actually usually black out around the curve after the drop and have to force my eyes back open…Thanks for sharing these adventures - all your vlogs from Virginia are bringing back some fond memories for me :) and I love seeing what everything is like now!
Wow, this place looks amazing! Nice vlog Jackie!
I am so glad y’all made it to Kings Dominion! So glad you hung out in my area!
Definitely come for Halloween Haunt at Kings Dominion and Howloscream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! Get the Quick Queue and Fast Lane for the Halloween Haunted Houses. It’s worth the cost for sure!
Love your road trip videos! I Went to kings Dominion as a kid.
Disney is so packed anymore, these video show good alternative
It’s true, the crowds at disney have been so stressful lately! Been nice to have this trip.
You know it's a good day when Super Enthused pops up with a new Vlog. Yet again she does some top quality vlogging.
So happy you went to KD! I loved your vlog. Twisted Timbers is my favorite coaster there. You got some really great images of the park! 😄
Jackie my friend i am loving your Road Trip videos and i was surprise that Sam ride that Twisted Timbers and you know that i would never ride that thing lol anyway another great video Jackie you guys stay safe out there.
When I was in school at Georgetown we would make that trip from DC numerous times. Riding the Grizzly sure beat going to gross anatomy class.
BOOtiful dark ride
Glad y’all enjoyed our great state…next time include a trip over to the Shenandoah valley, lots to do and see
We were there the same day!My son was on Racer 75 when you were filming! Hard to miss his yellow hoodie . So cool Drove down from Phily. Love KD! Twisted Timbers is our favorite.
That is so cool!!!
I was actually there that day for my third visit. It was really cool to be there for Grizzly's 40th birthday, especially because I really like it. It would have been cool to see you guys. I'm like 0 for 4 when it comes to meeting RUclipsrs who were there the same day as me at Kings Dominion lol.
Thank you for showing Kings Dominion!! We haven’t been there for a few years. I used to LOVE Racer 75 (I think it used to be called Rebel Yell). I remember back in high school (1996), they would run one of the trains facing backwards and one facing the regular way, and of course “racer” them. I LOVED the backwards one better!!
This is the amusement park my family & I have gone to for years. My favorite coaster is the Dominator. Boo Blasters used to be themed to Scooby Doo! Racer 75 used to be called the Rebel Yell, & one of the coasters would run backwards. It was a blast! Glad you had a good time!
Dang, barrel roll going down the hill on Twisted Timbers, looks so cool. Thanks to Sam riding the spinning one, that's a no for me as well. I loved Intimidator at Carowinds. Please go to Cedar Point, Maverick is the best. I hope to go there this summer. I enjoy your adventures.
Grizzly is still one of my favorite rides. In the front row at night is best
Thanks for showing a bit of the Snoopy area...I'm obsessed with Snoopy :) I love going along with you guys!
Fellow Snoopy fan too!! I loved when Jackie did the Vera Bradley Snoopy giveaway 👍🏼
Grizzly was my first roller coaster ride ever, way back in, well. . . let's just say Grizzly was just a toddler. hehe Yes, it really does shake and move you, that's for sure! Happy Birthday, Grizzly!
Me too
Awesome!
I rode the Grizzly when it was brand new! They used to have a train that went around the park and a skyliner that took you from one end to the other. They used to have a Yogi Bears cave as well.
Also the Racer was originally "The Rebel Yell".
The mushrooms and frogs used to sing, the skyliner station entrance was right there. As you stood there watching them sing the skyliners would come out the station over your head.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen Kings dominion… a few of us had season passes when I was in the Navy and we went a couple times a month.. thanks for the Vlog. Also, pretty sure twisted Timbers was the Wayne’s World ride
My dad used to be stationed in VA too, he told me he used to go during his service days too!
@@SuperEnthused That’s awesome! Tell him I said thanks for his service. Keep up the good work, I love your Vlogs!
My kiddo is super excited now! We just saw that you actually did go to Kings Dominion! I’m going to save this and watch it with her tonight! We just love your videos!
Ahah Yaay thank you Jessica!
We have watched your video twice! My daughter, Scarlett, got herself a little camera to do RUclips videos like you. She’s kind of disappointed that you can’t record on the rides. She even bought the wrist strap like you had at the one park. We love watching your videos! You and Sam are awesome together! Kings Dominion is a great park but I knew when you were going back to ride the alien ride that you wouldn’t like it. That is the bomb in the fall when is it’s Halloween! One scary haunted house! I wish I could share my pics of how great that park is at Halloween! I’m glad he took one for the team and rode Tumbili because now I know I won’t when we go this month! Ha ha! It makes me sad that you didn’t get to go up the Eiffel tower because the view from up there is breathtaking. My parents took me there in 76 when it opened! Can’t wait to see where else your road trip takes you! Thank you!
Ps Boo Blasters was A Scooby Doo dark ride originally! And you were definitely want the fast lane pass if you go to Cedar Point! We made that mistake last summer. The rides get to be an hour and a half long waits by afternoon.
I love your channel so much! I’ve never been to Virginia but it looks so fun, maybe someday I’ll get there. You guys are so cute together I’m glad you guys had so much fun! I always look forward to your next vids!☺️
It's not usually this chilly this time of year here. Nice break from Florida heat :)
I haven't been to King's Dominion since I was a little kid so it was awesome to see it today! What I most remember from back then are the Hanna-Barbera characters (I use to love Hong Kong Phooey!) As a kid I loved going into Yogi's Cave and riding Scooby Doo's Rollercoaster. It was the first rollercoaster that I ever rode! Thanks for taking us along on your journey!
I’m a broken record🎢
You two are just the cutest🎉🎉
I loved this video! KD is my home park & Racer 75 was my first roller coaster! We love going back year after year, riding the classics & checking out what's new. Thank you for filming it, and I hope you both liked it as much as I do!
I love Intimidator 305 and Twisted Timbers the best. I also like Rebel Yell, Flight of Fear, and Dominator too.
This was another, really different kind of theme park. Once again, the setting is phenomenal! All back in the woods, the rides and attractions surrounded by trees, making you feel like your in a forest. Such a cool experience! So cool, Jackie, to see you and Sam visiting new-to-you parks and so much fun seeing your first time reactions. You both look like you’re really enjoying this trip. Thanks for taking us along! ☺️
Oh yeah. Those are some good Grizzly headaches 😩. Love this park, not in the winter though
Absolutely love this park! You did a great job and I love that you are getting to see so much of VA
This road trip is amazing!
Completely agree and such a nice change from Disney/Universal (enjoy those vlogs as well) exploring the unknown or not as frequent places! 🤩
Went there a lot when I lived in VA.
Loved it!!! Another great video!!!!
Yayyyyyy!!!!! I'm loving this!! ❤️ excited to watch this. 305, Backlot stunt, and twisted timbers are favorite. ❤ ❤
How lovely for you to enjoy an amusement park that’s not so crowded! Some of those rides were very intimidating; it definitely depends if you suffer from motion sickness but there’s also a fine line between a ˋthrill´ ride and a terrifying ride! Loved all the atmospheric/nostalgic music. : )
Aww our favorite park especially have wonderful memories here as child with church camp trips and with my own children. It's a fun place to be.
You guys are really adorable together 💕
It is perfectly fine to not like a ride. Other than Soaring- I don’t like most of the big rides at Disney. Great vlog and really enjoyed the info on coasters!
Excited you came to my favorite park here where I live :)
Christmas is beautiful as well, with so many lights and ice skating over the huge fountain on International Street!
Fun fact…Boo Blasters was a Scooby Doo themed ride originally!
