@greatplanesman yeah i saw it when they announced it on thursday. I think it'll be alright. I like the first turn instead of just a traditional camelback.
i think my local roller coaster park (Canada's Wonderland) is announcing to build this ride in six days for the 2012 season. My question is how many trains are there. We have the tallest roller coaster in Canada at my park (bit shorter than this) and it has 3 trains so the wait is always less than an hour. What about this one?
@KBCC3 Negative ghostrider. CW is building Leviathan, B&M's first 300ft tall (306ft) Mega Coaster, let alone their tallest ride to date, I believe fastest as well. Google search it, there is already an animated POV of the ride. It's COMPLETELY different and WAY more tame than I305, and if it's anything like the recent B&M Hypers, you can count on it having minimal airtime and a short (time wise, not length wise) layout.
Rode it the first time this Memorial Day. Cedar Point's Millenium Force also has a 300ft drop and is 3mph faster, better view and much longer than Intimidator 305. Intimidator 305 has more intence twists and turns, I wish they would add tunnels. Which is better? I think coasters are like sex: Each are different, some are rougher but I never had one I didn't enjoy. It depends which I am in the mood for I guess.
@mrcalmac27 I have since seen disputing stats from different sources. Who is correct? Perhaps all of them. I would think any train speed can vary a few mph depending on the weight of the passengers. Are we hauling a bunch of Girl Scouts or a train of Weight Watcher rejects? On a streight track and side by side, would anyone be able to tell a difference between the speeds of these coasters? Probably not. Anyone who says one is great and the other just sucks probably hasn't been on both.
@astrofrk 94 mph is the official speed of this ride without the trims brakes on the first drop, and 90 mph was the official speed with the trim brakes. Most sources say that it still goes 90 mph because they probably didn't know the trims were were removed from the drop. And I never said one sucks. I rode, and enjoyed both coasters, very much so in fact. But never did I say one sucked.
this is like the best roller coaster I've rode. FUCKING CRAZY I thought it was a pussy ride in the video I rode it everything was black when I got to the bottom of the drop then 2 seconds later it was going like 100mph.
I love the ride so much more now. The speed and airtime is back too. Wait for the front seat (30-50 mins extra) because it is worth every minute. Have fun and ride it at night too. Its awesome once more.
How do the G's compare now to later last year after they trimmed it? I rode it in July (with the new harnesses and trims), and the G's were pretty intense (although not too bad). I really liked it then! I hope it's not any less than it was then.
@sneaky98gt its actually VERY intense now. if you didnt get to ride it before the trims last year, its fairly similar to how it was then. and the airtime is back in a big way on the 2nd hill. in my opinion, its the best version of the ride they have had so far, and i hope it stays that way!
I noticed a big difference after the brakes last year. Hopefully it will be back to where it was before the first alterations of last year. This is a fun ride either way
Looks good [personally i woulda preferred an overbank like millenium force has], but as long as they don't need the trims down that drop, then I'll take what i can get.
Leviathan will dominate this....

I know it's just from the video, but as the ride goes to the first curve, the track shakes. XD

I went to KD during the week they switched the rubber restraints to the vests. Much better with the vests.

So after the drop instead of the turn staying close to the ground it curls up and makes tthe original incline shorter?

anyone heard if the mechanical problems were solved with the wheels and whatnot?
i reckon the blackout thing wont really be a problem unless it majorly effects ridership.
im just hoping that new turn was enough to not cause the 'wear and tear' of the wheels
