Areas and attractions -- Candy Apple Grove
Candy Apple Grove was known as Coney Island when the park first opened in 1975 . It was renamed Candy Apple Grove in 1976 . The area is Kings Dominion 's largest section in the park , and in its early years , it featured an orchard theme that included three apple-themed rides : Apple Turnover , [ 38 ] Bad Apple , and Adam 's Apple . Much of the apple-related themes were removed over the years , and the area became known as simply The Grove when it merged with the former Wayne 's World area in 2001 .
