On May 3, 1975, after less than two years of construction, Kings Dominion opened its gates to the public.   It didn't take long for Kings Dominion to be recognized as the perfect family destination location in the Mid-Atlantic region.
​
The idea for a family amusement park north of Richmond, VA and south of Washington, D.C., began as a dream in 1971.  A site was selected in Doswell, VA in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic to build the 400-acre park.  The design of the new park was similar to Kings Island near Cincinnati, OH, using similar rides, attractions and themes including a 315-foot-tall Eiffel Tower replica and twin-track, racing roller coaster.

Kings Dominion remains the closest year-round permanent amusement park to Lake Anna.
