Thrill Rides Fit for a King

Tuesday August 5, 2003
Sure, the Nickelodeon area is adorable and the SpongeBob SquarePants 3D motion simulator ride is a hoot, but Paramount's Kings Dominion is primarily about the thrills. Screams emanate from every corner of the Virginia park as riders challenge a wild arsenal of coasters, including three unique launched thrill machines and a trio of woodies. Hypersonic XLC (Xtreme Launched Coaster) uses compressed air to catapult riders from 0 to 80 mph in less than 2 seconds.
Check out the Paramount's Kings Dominion Photo Gallery.
