Riding on the front is a must for any floor less coaster. Great transition from loop to cobra roll. Corkscrews were a little rough but interesting positioning of the two corkscrews. 10/10 - Edward Morgan

The ride is smooth, fast and has plenty of inversions. The cobra roll was particularly fun. The front seat is the best. - Justin Curtis

A fun coaster, with a variety of elements and graceful speed. Not the best coaster in the park (Volcano still holds that honor) but worthy of your time. The biggest drawback to Dominator is the complete lack of scenery and theming around the course (a problem shared by several of Kings Dominion's coasters). Even a tree or two would be welcomed! - James Rao

Great Ride. It was the perfect speed though the inversions. Very Smooth as well. I think the lift chain should be faster but still a great ride. - John Podles

Getting to be painful, and just not as fun anymore. =( - Chase Gray

I wish Dominator could return to Ohio :( It had been nearly 9 years since my last ride on Dominator & I had forgotten how awesome this coaster is. Speed, air, fairly smooth, & lots of fun elements. This definitely ranks as one of my top B&Ms and I wish I could have gotten more rides. Definitely give it a ride in the back for the best experience. - Erin B

An excellent coaster. It has just the right amount of features (turns, inversions etc.). Even though it may be a little rough at the end of the ride in the corkscrews, it is worth driving all the way to Doswell VA just to ride this (not to mention the massive giga-coaster)! - Aaron Clark

It isn't the best ride on EARTH, but it's the best one at KD.. Overall an amazing ride. Personally I think its better than Volcano Im going to say 9 out of 10. - Jason Skaggs

I love it! Great inversions, smooth and great front row. - SFOG Goliath
