Thanks!

Have not been recently but the last time I went, many rides were shut down because of repairs and the park just seemed kind of old. It was also not much of a family type park anymore, it was more of a teen/20-something hang-out. Have not been to Busch Gardens in a very long time but if I had to choose today, I'd go to Busch over Kings Dominion.

Kings Dominion is a has-been IMO. I'd choose Busch Gardens in Williamsburg over KD as well.

I've heard it occasionally referred to as "Gangs Dominion".

They have some good rides, but little is done to create an inviting atmosphere. Busch Gardens is a far nicer park in terms of overall atmosphere, though the rides are farther apart as a result.

Never heard it termed "Gangs Dominion" but that is leaning towards my more PC version "not much of a family type park anymore".
