Volcano, The Blast Coaster
Created by renowned thrill ride designers at Intamin AG in Switzerland, Volcano debuted in 1998 as the world's "first inverted linear induction motor-launched (LIM) rollercoaster"—featuring the world's tallest inversion. With over 2,700 feet of track, it was also Kings Dominion's longest coaster, and for many thrill-seekers, its most exciting, with three zero-gravity, heart-pounding, barrel-roll inversions. Kings Dominion is located 20 miles north of Richmond, VA and 75 miles south of Washington, DC.
