Kings Dominion a Six Flags Park

Work Where America Comes to Play – Kings Dominion, Virginia

Imagine your summer soundtrack: roller coasters roaring overhead, laughter echoing across the midway, and the smell of fresh funnel cakes in the air. As a Food & Beverage Associate at Kings Dominion, a Six Flags Park in Doswell, Virginia, you won’t just be working in a park – you’ll be part of the magic that thousands of guests remember for a lifetime.

This is one of the most popular Work & Travel USA placements for university students who want a fast-paced, social, and genuinely fun American summer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Greeting and serving guests at food outlets, snack stands, restaurants, or beverage kiosks across the park
• Taking orders, operating the cash register (POS system), and handling payments accurately
• Preparing and presenting classic American theme park favorites – burgers, pizza, funnel cakes, ice cream, cold drinks and more
• Keeping your work area clean, stocked, and meeting Six Flags food safety and hygiene standards
• Working as part of an international team to deliver friendly, fast, and memorable guest service

No previous experience is required – full paid training is provided, and your supervisors are used to working with international students every season.

Location Highlights: Doswell, Virginia

Kings Dominion sits on 400 acres just 30 minutes north of Richmond and about 90 minutes south of Washington, D.C. – so your days off can be spent exploring the U.S. capital, the Smithsonian museums, historic Colonial Williamsburg, or the beaches of Virginia Beach.

The park itself is home to more than 60 rides and attractions, including the iconic Twisted Timbers and Intimidator 305 coasters, plus the huge Soak City water park. In autumn, the park transforms for Halloween Haunt, one of the biggest and most exciting seasonal events on the East Coast.
