Author Topic: Intimidator/Intimidator 305-Opening In A Few Weeks! (Read 1749 times)

CWN Reporter · « **on:** Mar 12, 2010, 06:43 »

Both Intimidator at Carowinds and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion have tested successfully, and will be opening in just a few weeks to the general public. World Cast News will be at both media days to bring coverage of the new coasters. A mounted reverse POV camera will be on each coaster for the media event, so you know what that means! Which coaster are you guys most looking forward to? Intimidator, or Intimidator 305?

Can't decide... They both look like seriously great coasters.

I know for sure I'ma try to goto Carowinds. I want to do the B&M more than the Intamin for some reason I don't know why but I do. I think it's because Carowinds has Nighthawk and Afterburn to offer as well. But both rides look great and I can't wait for the reviews especially on 305.

I think that Carowinds version will be a similar experience to Diamondback and 305 won't be like anything else out there. So I'm more looking forward to 305.

In my quest to ride every B&M coaster in the US - I'm looking forward to riding Carowinds' more.
I305 will just be a stop along my way to BGW

That's crazy (in a good way). How many are there any how many are you missing?

That sounds fun my loose goal is every GCI which at this point is a lot less and I missed seemingly everyone's favorite on these boards. OZWildcat boooooo!

Quick Search on RCDB shows 48 Operating 1 Under Construction (Carowinds) 1 in Storage (Chang @ Great America) Swoosh will have to tell how many he has left!
Oops double post!

There are only 76 total in the World currently existing that is. I think he should go for the World B&M Tour! Out of those 76 there only 3 under construction and 1 in Storage.

Only 16 GCI's in the World. 5 out of the US!

Man you've been on a lot of great B&M's! Trust me, Manta is fantastic and you'll love it when you ride it Swoosh!

HalloweenHauntFreak · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 15, 2010, 10:01 »

I'm definitely more excited for both, but I'm more excited to see the one at Carowinds.

Ben Dover · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 16, 2010, 02:57 »

Holey moley! That's a long list! How do you find the time to go to all these parks Swoosh?

Jeff Mast · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 16, 2010, 03:04 »

Looks like from your list that I am only missing 2 B&M's and 1 GCI in North America.

Cool. Which ones?

Jeff Mast · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 16, 2010, 05:18 »

Goliath - Six Flags Over Georgia
Intimidator - Carowinds

Terminator Salvation: The Ride, Six Flags Magic Mountain

Swoosh · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 16, 2010, 06:44 »

^I didn't realize you had been to La Ronde to ride Goliath there.

I would have got the Terminator credit last year if the team had been on schedule.
Oh well, I guess I'll get back to Mega Mountain one of these years.

steel · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 17, 2010, 06:29 »

So anyway...

i305 has been testing for a few days now. Man, this thing FLIES. Hope I get a chance to ride it this summer.
Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion Testing 3-15-10

Other thing - I just noticed that KD's website bills the park as "Virginia's Premier Themed Amusement Park." So wtf does that make BGE?

hahaha...

KD is THEMED? Since when?
