If you’ve ever wanted to ride the Anaconda while the nippy winter air gently (or violently?) caresses your cheeks, you’ll get the chance next year — because starting in January, the popular Virginia amusement park Kings Dominion will be open year round.

On Tuesday, the Doswell, Va.-based park announced that it will open on the weekends in January, February, and early March.

“Kings Dominion will be the cure for cabin fever in 2023,” Bridgette Bywater, the park’s vice president and general manager, said in a press release. “Now families and season passholders won’t have to wait until the spring for their favorite rides or their first taste of funnel cake.”

It’s unclear whether the operations will include the waterpark; DCist has reached out to Kings Dominion for clarification. In the press release, the park wrote that “weather conditions and scheduled maintenance will limit the operation of some park attractions.” This reporter hopes those limits won’t apply to her personal favorite: that ride where they take you up about 27 stories and then drop you, quickly.

Kings Dominion looms large in the D.C. region. For decades, the park’s lobbying of Virginia officials was so notoriously powerful that it helped determine the commonwealth’s school calendar. A 1986 law — commonly referred to as the “Kings Dominion law” — required schools to ask for special permission to open before Labor Day, so that the park could have an extra weekend of visitors and student workers. The law was repealed in 2019.

This year, Kings Dominion is also resuming annual seasonal fall and winter events for which they will be open: Halloween Haunt, WinterFest, and Grand Carnivale.
