Apple Zapple

These quick u-turns are a ton of fun!

As you can tell by the sign, this picture was taken when the ride was called Ricochet.  The current name is a reference to this section of the park.  The area was called Candy Apple Grove in the early days of the park and had several apple-themed rides.  Over the years, the apple theme gradually disappeared, and eventually the section just became part of the Wayne's World area.  In 2014, Kings Dominion reintroduced the Candy Apple Grove name and theme to this area as part of the park's 40th-anniversary celebration.  As a nostalgic move, the park brought back the animatronic Singing Mushrooms that were here in the 1970s.
