04 · The parks

What each one is.

Kings Dominion

Kings Dominion sits in Doswell, Virginia, about 25 minutes north of Richmond. The park has one of the strongest regional coaster line-ups on the US East Coast: Intimidator 305 (a 305-foot giga coaster), Twisted Timbers (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Apple Zapple, Dominator (a 215-foot floorless coaster), and Racer 75. A Soak City water park is included with admission during summer.

Virginia summer school breaks, weekend visits from the DC / Richmond area, and the Halloween Haunt drive Kings Dominion's busiest periods. Weekdays in May, September and October are dramatically calmer. Check live queue times for Intimidator 305 and Twisted Timbers first thing on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek date for shorter waits.

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags Over Georgia sits in Austell, just west of Atlanta, and has been running since 1967. The coaster line-up includes Goliath (a 200-foot hyper coaster), Twisted Cyclone (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Batman the Ride, Superman: Ultimate Flight, and the classic Mind Bender. A Hurricane Harbor water park operates on the same site.

Georgia school holidays, the Fright Fest Halloween event, and Atlanta-area weekend visits drive peak crowds. Summer heat and humidity push queue times up in the afternoon as guests head to shaded and indoor rides. Check live wait times for Goliath and Twisted Cyclone on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit in May, September or October for far shorter waits.
