Steve’s take

Kings Dominion is a full theme park sitting right off I-95 between DC and Richmond. If you're doing the multi-day drive and want to break it up with a roller coaster day, this is your spot. The kids get their amusement park fix, you get to delay the 'how much further' questions by a full day, and the waterpark section is a lifesaver in summer. It's a commitment though — budget a full day.
