— a note from the studio

“A 400-acre amusement park in Doswell, Virginia, opened in 1975 about twenty miles north of Richmond off Interstate 95. A one-third-scale Eiffel Tower replica rises 315 feet over the midway, visible from the highway. The roller-coaster line-up has anchored the park for decades: Intimidator 305, Twisted Timbers, Anaconda, Racer 75. Soak City water park sits inside the perimeter under the same admission.

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Kings Dominion occupies about 400 acres in Doswell, Hanover County, roughly 33 kilometres north of Richmond off Interstate 95. The park opened in May 1975, built by Family Leisure and later operated by Paramount, Cedar Fair, and after the 2024 Cedar Fair-Six Flags merger, the combined Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. A one-third-scale Eiffel Tower replica stands 96 metres tall at the centre of the midway. Soak City water park sits inside the perimeter under the same admission.

— the visit

The season runs from late March through the WinterFest closing weekend in early January, with day-by-day operating hours that vary by month. Halloween Haunt fills weekend evenings from late September through October. The Intimidator 305 hyper-coaster crests at 305 feet, Twisted Timbers is a steel-on-wood hybrid by Rocky Mountain Construction, and Anaconda, Apple Zapple, and Racer 75 fill out the older line-up. Single-day tickets and Gold and Prestige season passes are sold through the park's website.

Halloween Haunt runs Friday and Saturday evenings through late September and October, with mazes and scare zones spread across the park. WinterFest opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs through early January, with light installations, an ice-skating rink at International Street, and the Eiffel Tower lit for the season.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Kings Dominion — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

In Doswell, Virginia, about 33 kilometres north of Richmond just off Interstate 95 exit 98. The park sits on roughly 400 acres in Hanover County. The address is 16000 Theme Park Way, Doswell, VA 23047.

The park opened in May 1975, developed by the Family Leisure division of Taft Broadcasting. It has since operated under Paramount, Cedar Fair, and as of the 2024 merger, the combined Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.

The replica stands 315 feet, or about 96 metres, at the centre of International Street. It is a one-third-scale copy of the Paris original. An elevator carries guests to the observation deck for a clear view across the park.

Intimidator 305 is the headline hyper-coaster, cresting at 305 feet with a top speed near 90 miles per hour. Twisted Timbers is a steel-on-wood hybrid by Rocky Mountain Construction. Anaconda, Racer 75, and Apple Zapple round out the line-up.

The main season runs from late March through early January, with daily summer operation between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Halloween Haunt covers weekend evenings in October. WinterFest runs from the day after Thanksgiving through early January.

— about the piece in your home

It tends to land well with families who counted the park as a summer ritual. The artwork holds the Eiffel Tower, the midway sightline, and the coaster ridge together. A Medium reads well in a den.

The amber, red, and tower-grey palette suits Americana, vintage-poster, and warm eclectic rooms. It pairs naturally with family-photo walls and a den's mix of wood and leather without pulling colour from the arrangement.

A single Large carries a standard sofa wall. A 4-tile Mural extends the midway and tower across a wider den or playroom wall. A Small reads better above a desk or in a child's bedroom.

Yes. Order Dura Satin or Matte for any wet wall. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface beneath a thin protective layer and tolerates steam, splash, and daily cleaning without lifting.

A microfibre cloth and warm water. Skip abrasive pads and ammonia-based sprays. The finish is sealed so dust wipes off without effort, and the colour holds through years of regular cleaning.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is created in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. We do not license images, and each place is researched and painted in-house before it enters the atlas.
