Dominator is so underrated. Smooth, intense, and really fun.
This is my home park! I live 40 minutes away. I got to ride The hurler, volcano, and shockwave before the got removed. Hurler is now twisted timbers, volcano is now dirt, and shockwave is now delirium.
1 Intimidator 305 - Still my favorite giga to this day. I admire its compact layout where I get a lot of Maverick vibes. If you gray out or black out, no big deal, it’s what makes this ride special.
I like thinking of dominator as the one ride that is keeping geauga lake’s legacy alive. It may seem silly but that history is cool to me.
I’m watching at Cedar Point right now! You wouldn’t believe the line for Raptor. Great day nonetheless!
I was born in the early 90's in Virginia and so I went to Kings Dominion every year in the summer. I knew Paramount didn't own it anymore, but I didn't realize so many of the names were changed. Everyone knew "Racer 75" as "The Rebel Yell". Such a shame that they changed the name.
Why I agree with you on grizzly’s roughness, I can look past it for the strong forces and setting(even in the back.). It really does need a retrack though.
I love roller coasters, but I’m terrified of I-305 cause of its violent turns and crazy speed 😟😟
So glad you loved Volcano. Rode it when it opened. You nailed it by pointing out the rapid shift from near-total darkness to blinding light - i had the same thought. It's what sets it apart from stuff like Kingda Ka, etc. True the rest of the ride holds few surprises, but the last slope and sudden yet gentle brake is a nice finish. And all these years later, it still punches above its weight. Great review.
Back before Grizzly got retracked, I would never have bothered to ride It, but now that its smooth and the drop got reprofiled, It is incredible. The drop in the back row is incredible and the airtime was good. I would honestly ride this over Flight of Fear if both had no wait. I am now a huge fan and have ranked this as my 3rd overall in the park.
KD has always been a bucket list park for me. The intensity of I305 is something I really want to experience. I love a good, intense coaster.
I got back to KD for my second visit this year, my only other visit was like 15 years back. I was lucky enough to catch
Twister Timbers tops my list. The intensity of I305 is intense and it used to be fun to see my daughter pass out during the opening year spring time. But I'd never had a coaster get better and better at every element. And that airtime was absolutely insane.
Im in the crew that grew up with the classic Volcano, Hypersonic, and Shockwave; I am a huge person on nostalgia and sad too see some of my favorites go, but they truly did add some bangers to this park!
Two rides on Volcano back in 2013, it was incredible. Flame effect blowing out of the volcano and those rolls just made the rides. The launches were not to be slept on either… haven’t ridden Twisted Timbers yet but loved I305, only ridden 3 gigas and they’re all in my top 5.
I was just at KD yesterday and I couldn’t agree more with twisted timber’s and the intimidator! I really like the grizzly as well but I will admit that every time I got on it it gets worse and worse with the jerks. The dominator is really fun to me too. Sadly i never got the opportunity to go on the volcano. My first time I went it was closed and now it’s obviously gone.
I grew up in this park and Grizzly was one of my favorites. I knew it was rough, part of the reason I liked it but me being older and the coaster, I wonder if I would feel the same. Racer 75 used to be called Rebel Yell. I remember at some point they ran the left track backwards and that was an awesome experience. I'm sad to see they don't do that any more, I wonder why. Also the peanuts roller coaster used to be called Scooby doo and it was awesome as a kid. I rode Volcano the year they opened it and it was amazing. That was the last year I visited the park. Also, I rode anaconda when it was new, it was amazing then but I can see how it didn't age well.

I worked there in high school in the mid 90s the first year that volcano opened. Hard to believe that is gone and the stand up coaster that was in the middle of the park. I remember when the 75 ride was called the rebel yell and one side went backwards and absolutely loved the grizzly in the dark. I haven't been in 20 years but may definitely have to make a trip.
