new man: Kings Dominion just SUCKS. I virtually lived at Kings Island every summer growing up, and Kings Dominion doesn't compare. There are no impressive rides - all of them left me wanting something like the Beast or Diamondback - and the one ride that surprised me with its speed was Volcano, which I waited in line for almost 2.5 hours to ride and the ride itself lasted something like a minute.
FYI, since Cedar Fair bought both KI and KD, there is no longer a backwards racer/Rebel Yell.
I like rides that actually impress me, and luckily Kings Island has at least a handful of those. Perhaps I'm just weird or needy, but Kings Island is nicer, too. I expect Cedar Point rides to be better than Kings Island, and I don't care about waiting in lines as long as the ride is worth it. Volcano wasn't worth it, and neither were most of the rides at Kings Dominion that I had to wait for. It wasn't worth the 2+ hour drive to get there, either.
