53 days remain.

The countdown has begun.

With each passing day, the veil grows weaker. Ancient forces stir in the darkness, their whispers echoing through forgotten places where fear has long taken root. What has remained hidden will soon awaken, calling to those brave—or foolish—enough to answer.

The air will grow colder. Shadows will seem to take on a life of their own. Twisted souls, cursed creatures, and unspeakable horrors will once again reclaim the night, waiting just beyond the gates.

Some will come seeking a thrill.

Others will leave wondering if the darkness followed them home.

In 53 days, Halloween Haunt returns to Kings Dominion.

Are you ready to face your nightmares… or will they become your reality?

Mondays and work don’t always go hand in hand with fun… so why not fix that with a trip to kingsdominionva?

Take a few laps on your favorite coaster, grab something good to eat, and catch one of the park’s amazing shows. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to turn a Monday around.

One quick reminder: today and tomorrow are your last chances to catch girlpantsoh! before their residency comes to an end. A new performer will take the stage beginning Thursday, so don’t miss your chance to see them if you haven’t already.

🎠 Happy National Carousel Day! 🎠

Did you know that one of the oldest attractions at Kings Dominion is also one of its most historic?

The Grand Carousel began its journey in 1917 as Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel #44, making it nearly 60 years older than Kings Dominion itself. Before finding its permanent home in Doswell, it delighted riders in Massachusetts and Rhode Island before being purchased in 1973 for the park that would open in 1975.

Over the course of a 14-month restoration, skilled craftsmen carefully stripped away decades of paint from each of the 66 hand-carved wooden horses, repaired years of wear, and brought this beautiful masterpiece back to life. Today, those same horses continue to spin beneath thousands of lights, creating memories for new generations of guests.

For more than a century, the Grand Carousel has been a symbol of timeless fun, proving that some of the best attractions never go out of style.

🎠 Happy National Carousel Day to one of the true treasures of Kings Dominion!

We’d love to hear your story—share your favorite memories of riding the Grand Carousel in the comments!

Only 8 Fridays remain.

The veil grows thinner with each passing week. Soon, forgotten corridors will awaken, ancient evils will stir, and the darkness will once again call those brave enough to answer.

Some will seek glory. Others will chase fear. But when the gates open, every step forward is a choice… and not every soul returns unchanged.

In just 8 Fridays, Halloween Haunt begins.

Are you ready for your nightmares to become reality? What are you looking forward to the most this Haunt season?
