This is the Dominator at Kings Dominion. It's a Floorless roller coaster from B&M in Monthey, Switzerland. This coaster originally opened Batman Knight Flight on May 5, 2000 at Geauga Lake & Wildwater
...
Kingdom in Aurora, OH when it was owned by the Six Flags chain of parks. Six Flags then sold the park to Cedar Fair in 2003. Cedar Fair then took the Six Flags brand off the name and then renamed all the rides that had been themed to Warner Bros and DC Comics. That's when the Batman name came off and the Dominator name came on. Cedar Fair then chose to close Geauga Lake but keep the Wildwater Kingdom on Sept 16, 2007. Dominator was then moved here along with the Americana Ferris Wheel and ElDorado Drive In flat rides from the same park and reopened on May 24, 2008. I believe it is still one of (if not the) tallest and longest and fastest floorless roller coasters in the world. It certainley is one of the best I've ever been on.
Now that you know the history of the ride, here are the ride statistics. Dominator has a length of 4,210ft, a height of 157ft, a drop of 148ft at a 57 degree angle, a top speed of 65mph, five inversions including a 135ft tall loop, and a maximum g force rating of 3.8.
