2017 KINGS DOMINION DINING NEWS- There is a lot going on at Kings Dominion during the off-season as they prepare for the start of the 2017 season. For starters, Planet Snoopy is getting overhauled by adding three new rides: Kite Eating Tree, Sally’s Sea Plane, and the Peanuts™ 500.

Did we mention that Chick-fil-A and Boardwalk Fries located in Planet Snoopy are both new on the Kings Dominion Dining plans this season? Guests requested it, and now they will be able to enjoy expanded food offerings in 2017.
