Intimidator 305 POV King's Dominion

[the1skinsfan1]

SO FUN i rode on it 3 times in one day! (cuz it was like 5pm) DON'T change the first drop bc blacking out is awesome...even tho it gave me a minor concussion

[marcocoastertv]

Is that rct4

[rct3coasterteam]

what animation program is this?

[gilligan1001]

this a very good animation. it looks just like the real ride. 

[Yoshimitsu4prez]

lmao having the first turn like that is just terrible design... but I would still ride the hell out of this.

[koolkillax]

Jesus that first drop makes me feel im on it! :O

[Model46609]

i don't understand how people can black-out on this ride! They reduced the speed form 95, to 80! Totally not fun anymore :/

[AccidentallyAwesome2]

That was my favorite rollercoaster Ever!

[avachica]

Isn't this sorta like the Diamond back at kings Island?

[Bman8873]

@avachica no the dimonadback at Kings Island is a hyper coaster and this one is a giga coaster like the milluim force at Cedar Point. This ride is 305 feet tall and the dimondback at Kings Island is 230 feet tall.

[oscartana16]

i might go 2 kings dominon dis week and the frirst ride is gonna b the intimadator

[MrCoaster1000]

Can someone tell me what type of program does this type of animation? I love the ride, the park, and everything else. I want to be a graphic designer when I grow up and I just wanted to know for now what does this type of animation.

[MrCoaster1000]

I have been on this ride and I love it! Can anyone tell me how these animations are possible?

[sam421kc]

rode this twice today! blacked out a bit on the second time =D

[tslabjr7]

this coaster is good! but, it will need to be changed! they put trim breaks on the first drop and due to black outs on the first tuen, but even with the trim breaks, you still black out! they should do like a over banked turn all the way up to the top of the cammelhill just after the first turn. and just turn the cammel hill into a gentel slope going down!

[RelGanricFlims]

@tslabjr7

Hey, I didn't make the coaster. Don't complain to me.

[tslabjr7]

@RelGanricFlims i am not, it is just not good! the worst giga coaster so far!

[MIDNswagg]

@tslabjr7 Nah they put brakes on it cause the intense speed and G's were toasting the $1000 a-piece wheels the train uses

[tslabjr7]

@MIDNswagg thats what i said! the trim breaks don't do anything! the first drop needs to be a tab bit unsteapended, and the first turn needs to be turned into an overbanked turn that ends at the top of the cammel hill!

[2brothersvideos]

Unfortunately, it only goes 79.5 mph now.

[BleedingxBlackandRed]

this ride scared the mess outta me!!!! But i loved it!!! it's my second favorite ride at kings dominion. next to flight of fear :)

[WhyWhyHL2]

LONG LIVE THE INTIMIDATOR!

[cavts]

i got on this today is was awsomeeee 95 mph drop

[lx304xl]

i got on this today ! the first drop almost made me black out :0

[youngmonez1]

love this ride best one in kings dominion u have to ride

[youngmonez1]

i rode this ride dude its epic u have to ride it too feel how awsome it is going down on it is so fun and the turns are amazing

[matthewW97]

i went on this for realll soo funnn

[quatlewmeez]

What ever happend 2 the HyperSonic!?!.....This looks CRAZY as HELL

[Aisulu1]

Can't wait until Saturday! I'm going to ride it at least five times!

[juancharro11]

is this No Limits or what?

[MynameisTitus13]

well i do have to admit that it was a very fun ride, but there wasn't as much airtime as everyone said and in my opinion Millennium Force and Steel Dragon are still way better.

[amyroxx95]

omg i went on this ride sunday! it was so much fun! i went in the morning and we received free tshirts that said intimidator 305 first rider ! :)

i went on it 3 times! i got really dizzy after the first drop and couldnt see much. Other than that i enjoyed it very much! makes the dominator seem like nothing! :)

[540JDMgoon]

I Blacked out shortly after the first drop !! Amazing ride :]

[Romeighla]

@540JDMgoon: Agreed!

[davesym1]

i heard from six people that you "white out" in the first turn from too many g's.  i'm going!

[elizabethlane1900]

@davesym1 haha, it's true, I rode it on press day. at the first turn you start to see grey blops kind og take over and then you "white out" but its a super great ride.

[Romeighla]

@davesym1: Yeah, it's true.

I nearly fainted, ha ha ha.

It's really intense.

Go at night! It's even better!

[BestRollarCoasters]

I love King's Dominion it's the 2nd best amusement park. Cedar Point is the best but this ride is going to pwn. :)

[00mundercover]

Anyone know why intimidator 305's website says this is 3 minutes long when this video clearly shows its not even half that long?

[elizabethlane1900]

@00mundercover

[BleedingxBlackandRed]

@00mundercover the video is short than the ride...trust me

[XxLaUrAxX7]

@Creapiano it's already opened and running

[XxLaUrAxX7]

@Creapiano it's already working and opened april 2nd.

[00mundercover]

@Creapiano that's complete B.S. why would they decide not to go through with a ride that's alreayd been built

[Romeighla]

@Creapiano: Why are you delivering false information to people?

[AdrenalineAddict610]

Whiplash Central...Looks really fun, but those direction changes at 85-90 MPH aren't going to be nice to you.

[MotionVids]

does any one know what animation program was used??

i knmowfor a fact it wasnt roller coaster tycoon

[noremac891]

wow that is the BEST coaster animation cause this has the other coasters and others are in the middle of nowhere.

[costerluver]

It's like Millennium Force and Maverick had a love child.

[MinkyBoodle44]

so...does that mean millennium force is a girl? :P

[SGarv04]

I know this coaster is made for air time... but cmon if your gonna make a giga coaster make it have bigger drops and a longer ride!

[beatle11]

I agree with you, but that being said, I don't think they had the available space to do that. It's a great ride for such a constrained area.

[wearecrazedforrice]

i might go with my cousins........ i live in virginia.. either that or busch gardens

[MotionVids]

kings dominion has twice as many roller coasters as busch gardens..i prefer kings dominion.

ps i also live in va

[ClassicGamer88]

sorry, but this looks like shit, WHERE ARE THE DROPS????

[Fitfatfoofite]

If you know nothing about physics, please don't post.

[Romeighla]

@ClassicGamer88: Go on the coaster and ride it for yourself.

The drops are THERE.

You're watching an animation which makes the drops seem like nothing, when really, one of them is like 180ft! (plus the major drop which is 300ft.)

[rollercoasterfan97]

wow it looks so much more tamer in the video. i can imagine it going so much faster in real life

[Romeighla]

@rollercoasterfan97: It does!

[stupidkid658]

I'm going to go on the one that is in carowinds!

:D

[vegetalover2]

I'd have to be drunk wereing a daiper and not able to scream then I could get on it

[RCT3player1]

cant wait going there this summer

[phaota]

Wow, that looks fantastic. Any chance on putting up a HD version of the video? Would love to see with crystal-clear visuals.

[RelGanricFlims]

Short of a press-kit video, I can't get a higher-rez.

[phaota]

No problem, found another version on YouTube in HD.

[youngmonez1]

dude the ride is amazing just rode it today

[stitchface6]

This looks kickass, and MF at Cedar Point is in my top 5 coasters ever, so I'm totally stoked for this ride. Don't care that I have to drive 5 hours to get there either!!! LOL And the supports/colors typically don't have much to do with the theming at CF parks. Look at Voodoo at Dorney: A coaster called Voodoo and it's teal and yellow. What kind of theming is that??

[ryanthescooterguy]

If it opens on April Fool's day, then we don't want to be Rickrolled!

[MinkyBoodle44]

if it opens on april fools day:

"Hello, Kings Dominion fans! It's great to see you back at the park. Well, I know you're all excited about the Intimidator 305, but we've got a really big surprise for you. Guess what? APRIL FOOLS! We're not getting a new coaster at all! It was all fake, and you guys fell for it! Ha ha ha!"

I would be so pissed if that happened to my park. And anyway, we can all live in comfort, knowing that I305 is really being built, and we'll all get to ride soon!

[MinkyBoodle44]

Oh crap, i probably just screwed myself with that last comment...

[DunkManPR]

i think its good to have those turns at that speed. besides air time, changes of direcction are one of my favorite elements. think of bizarro (ne) and mantis, changes of direcction are crazy and at 93 mph..... damn!

[Cruton14]

I wonder why all the new steel Cedar Fair Coasters are always red and yellow.

[vbcoasters23]

it is the color of their symbols.  the flag

[rollercoasterfan97]

well isnt red dale earnhardt's theme or something? the red?

intimidator at carowinds has just normal cream whitish supports although 305 has the yellow

[Cruton14]

Thats a good point. But what about Top Thrill Dragster, Poney Express, Intimidator, Intimidator 305, Maverick (sort of) and Diamondback. And what is "the color of their symbols" mean?

[rollercoasterfan97]

meh, maybe cedar fair is just fond of the colour red?

[RelGanricFlims]

Red is very attention-getting.

[dgcpinoy]

For those people who think this coaster needs more airtime, or Millennium Force sucks cos there's no airtime, these two coasters were built for one thing: SPEED, and lots of it. Some people want strictly speed while others go for the airtime. If you prefer the airtime, I personally think the wooden coasters outdo the steel ones when it comes to airtime. The oldest coaster in CP, Blue Streak, while small, delivers some intense airtime.

[wutanoob]

Dont forget Magnum...

[vbcoasters23]

magnum is a hyper coaster (200+ feet tall) and has a different layout for track. those are built for airtime, these as you can tell which are giga's have to have this design for the speed of the coaster. going 90+ on the magnum style track is very dangerous but these are built for speed and airtime will just take the speed away from it.

[branj13]

I definitely go for speed

[redskinsfan12345]

KD owns i live like an hour from it

[keridog1]

only 3 hills

NO OVERBANKED TURNS

this is NOT a giga coaster

INTAMIN WHAT ARE YOU DOINGF

[nickalexrock]

millennium force only has three hills over-banked turns suck and its over 300 feet

[Romeighla]

@nickalexrock: but MF's DROP ITSELF is only 300 ft.

the coaster is 310 ft, but when you're on it, all that counts is the drop.

[nickalexrock]

oh almost forgot DOINGF ever heard of ENGLISH

[dgcpinoy]

Keridog: Intamin came up with the term "Gigacoaster" and by their definition it is any complete circuit coaster that breaks the 300ft barrier.

[keridog1]

i am fully aware of that im saying that other than its first drop this shouldnt be considered one

[vbcoasters23]

Ok so you dont going acting all smart, the proper term for giga coaster is a coaster that has a lift hill of 300+ feet and reaches speeds to 90+ miles per hour. its a giga. doesnt need drops. i know your going to say well it shouldnt but it is cuz of the way its built.

[keridog1]

i know what a gigga is but this shouldn't be considered one because after the first drop it just becomes a normal roller coaster

[Coasta101]

this has 6/7 hills WTF are you talking about

[AvatarNub]

this ride looks epic O.O and i live near kings island, and when i thought diamondback was going to be the limit cedar fair was going for, i was completely wrong. this ride is amazing.

[TheDrumMan20]

I'd take Diamondback over this any day...sorry KD.

[MynameisTitus13]

and yet when I comment you say Intimidator 305 is better than Diamondback.

[jtennisfan0901]

i really disagree with everyone. imagine how much freaking speed this things going to have because its so low to the gound the whole time... plus it looks like it's going to take those little hills and bumps SUPER fast, which means it will have a lot of airtime unlike MF.... plus that turn off the drop is going to be intense... imagine the G forces taking that kind of turn at 90 mph... much more intense than Goliath's helix at SFMM

[38Squid]

Wow, cant wait for this one.

[MynameisTitus13]

Cedar Point has Millennium Force, Raptor, Wicked Twister, Magnum, Maverick, Mantis, Mean Streak and many other coasters. All i'm going to say is that Cedar Point is the best in the world and that MaxAir and Skyhawk are the best flat rides in the world. Millennium Force and Maverick are the best coasters in the world.

[TheDrumMan20]

Actually the best flats are on top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. Then the next best is indeed at CP, Skyscraper. You can't judge KBF's coasters if you have not ridden them.

[MynameisTitus13]

I know people who have been to Knotts Berry Farm and they said it was the most boring park they have ever been to...they also said its a HUGE waste of time and money.

[MynameisTitus13]

And last time I checked Cedar Point was an amusement park not a theme park. Theme Park  don't give a care about their coasters. Amusement Parks are better.

[TheDrumMan20]

Now that is the most uneducated comment I've ever seen on here. Let me start naming off some theme parks that have GREAT coasters: Holiday World, Universal Studios/ Islands of Adventure, Disney World (any of the parks), Busch Gardens (either), Sea World Orlando and San Antonio, Knott's Berry Farm, really the list could go on and on. Theme parks DO care about their coasters. You just feel the need to disagree with everything I say for the sake of argument and not wanting to look like a hypocrite.

[MynameisTitus13]

Holiday World only has THREE coasters. And they are wooden coasters. Holiday World was the worlds most boring park and I would take Michigans Adventure over that place ANYDAY. Fact: Cedar Point is better than all those parks.

[TheDrumMan20]

You'd rather go to Michigan's Adventure? You profile says otherwise. What's better at Michigan's Adventure? Their star attraction, a WOODEN coaster, that you think is boring? Just another example of you being a hypocrite and a blind CP fanboy. The Voyage is by far the best wooden coaster in the world. And that last sentence is an opinion, but I'll forgive you since you didn't pay attention in English class.

[TheDrumMan20]

Oh yeah and it's kinda sad that you can only find ONE example out of all the parks I gave you. Just helping prove my point.

[MynameisTitus13]

SeaWorld Orlando is ok, Both Disney Parks are boring as hell, Busch Gardens is sooooo boring they only have 5 coasters and a waste of money, Knotts Berry Farm has nooooo good rides what so ever. Face it, Cedar Point is the best and it will always be the best. Cedar Point for life.

[TheDrumMan20]

Rides should be measured in quality, not quantity, and the Busch Parks/ Seaworld definitely succeed in that aspect. Also, Knott's has Xcelerator, Ghostrider, Montezooma's Revenge, Silver Bullet...no good rides huh?

[TheDrumMan20]

And you've been to all those parks?

[MynameisTitus13]

I have been to Holiday World (Big Mistake), Disneyworld (Boring as.....) and Seaworld was boring too but It was ok somewhat. Who cares about Knotts Berry Farm, Ghost Rider sucks (The Beast is better), Montezooma's Revenge (No fun what so ever), Silver Bullet (BO_RING Talon and Raptor are waaayyy better) and Xcelerator is nothing TTD and Kingda Ka are much better.

[PTSTelevision]

Wow I'd hate to have as little fun in my life as you. : /

[MynameisTitus13]

That's more fun than anyone would ever have on Intimidator 305.

[MynameisTitus13]

And Dominator is not slow except to retards who think that kiddie rides are the best ever. All the Cedar Fair parks kick Busch Gardens ass.

[nickalexrock]

i do agree busch gardens is crap and dominator is fast but you still hate intimidator

[MynameisTitus13]

I don't hate I305 that much anymore.

[MynameisTitus13]

I just think it could have been better.

[MaximumPower01]

Hey Titus, come to Bizarro Front Seat on-ride POV video, cause this kid acquaz10 is talking hella shit about Intimidator 305 and Millenium Force.

[C3H2P8]

Sorry I saw that after posting that comment.

[C3H2P8]

This ride is going to Carowinds in North/South Carolina not Kings Dominion.

[MynameisTitus13]

No this ride is going to be in Kings Dominion the other Intimidator is going to be in Carowinds.

[TheTeenman14]

get a life titus..

[shirtlesslemons]

this looks cool

But Busch Gardens will still be the best park in Virginia

[MynameisTitus13]

Busch Gardens is a the most boring park in the world with their 5 retarded coasters.

[shirtlesslemons]

you're an idiot than

All 5 rides are better than any at KD, I go to both places all the time and I'd much rather drive 100 miles to BG than drive 10 miles to KD

The rides at BG are both faster and higher than the rides at KD

This ride will help KD but Busch gardens will still be better

I assume you've never been to busch gardens and you're just hating

[MynameisTitus13]

I used to buy season passes to Kiddie Gardens every year but I got sooooo bored as soon as I walked into the park that I knew right then I wasted $500. BGE is the worst park in the world. Intimidator 305, Dominator, Flight of Fear and Volcano are better than any kiddie rides BGE will EVER get. I live near Williamsburg and yet i'd rather drive to Six Flags in Maryland ANYDAY of Busch Gardens.

[shirtlesslemons]

Intimidator was the only better ride you mentioned

Volcano is the shortest ride ever, DOminator is slow and tiny drop

Flight of Fear only fun part is the start

Apollo, Alpengeist, Griffon, Lochness are all faster and higher up

BBW is the only bad ride there and even that one is higher than most of the rides at KD

Six Flags is the 2nd best in our area, It will be 3rd after the intimidator

[MynameisTitus13]

Yeah Six Flags is 2nd, Kings Dominion is 1st. Dominator, Volcano and Intimidator are both taller and faster than Loch Ness Monster. Apollo is just a stupid typical every-day hyper (Nitro, Diamondback, Behemoth and Intimidator at Carowinds are better), Alpengeist may be the tallest inverted but it is not fun at all, Griffon is no longer worlds tallest dive. BGE is not fun at all except for retards (like you). I would even take Michigans Adventure over BGE.

[ichbinstark]

Michigans Adventure over BGE? Come on now... MIA sucks...

[MynameisTitus13]

Yeah but I was extremely bored when I went to BGE it was one of the most boring parks in the world. Ok mabye not Michigans Adventure (even though its still better) but I would take Valley Fair, California's Great America, Dorney Park and Knotts anyday over BGE. Every Cedar Fair park is better.

[nickalexrock]

hey what about hershey park way better then six flags or is that out of the area your talking about

[tiki2188]

Kind of sad....Millennium Force wont be the worlds only giga coaster anymore.

Im not even from OH, but NJ actually lol

Ah well, Cedar Point is better but KD is an awesome park too

[Coasta101]

it never was the only giga coaster. Steel Dragon 2000 in japan is 318 ft. TALLER THAN MF.... :3

[tiki2188]

Jeez....that was an old comment. Did you really go through all of them?

And cmon, did you REALLY have to call it out? I think it was understood I meant in America. Anyway, if it makes you feel good....yes you are right. Enjoy it, because I really fear you dont have much of a life if you sit on youtube watching coaster videos (of all things) reading every comment from the last 3 months...

[tiki2188]

Besides Steel Dragon sucks.

MF is what I'd consider a "giga coaster" Sleek, smooth and flat out speed. Not a hyper coaster that happens to be 300 ft tall.

[lankeysob]

you really went to japan and rode Steel Dragon?

[KidFromTheCourtFilms]

@Coasta101 a giga coaster is an Intamin built 300+ ft coaster...

[nickalexrock]

a chain or cable lift coaster over 300 feet Sd2000 is a giga

[MynameisTitus13]

But thats normal for Intamin to rip-off people by turning one of the tallest and fastest coasters into 45 second kiddie rides. And I thought Intamin was better than B&M. The only time Intamin did not rip people off is when they built Millennium Force.

[TheDrumMan20]

Maverick (arguably Intamin's best coaster) is a rip off? Maverick is amazing. Plus you can't say the only thrilling part is the drop, you've never ridden it. Plus Millennium Force the whole ride is certainly not thrilling, the part between the tunnels is really lame. I like KI more than CP. Yes Busch Gardens will still be the best VA park...by far.

[MynameisTitus13]

CP Point is better than that kiddie park KI and Busch Gardens is boring kiddie world full of convicts(i mean employees). BGE's ticket price is like $300 dollars I would even take Disney World over BGE. Kings Dominion is better than Busch Gardens and Cedar Point is waaaaayyyy better than Kiddie Island.

CP has taller, faster and better rides than any other park in the world. Who won #1 amusement park for the 12 year in a row....Cedar Point.

[TheDrumMan20]

Yes, Cedar Point won best amusement park because they paid (the astoundingly) credible Amusement Today Golden Ticket Awards the most. You just need to stop criticizing and dissing every single park/ ride someone talks about. Sure CP may have these huge rides but where's the atmosphere? They let Disaster Transport's theming deteriorate and now all it is is pitch black. Plus I'd rather have rides that last more than 17 seconds...and Busch Gardens is amazing, and their tickets are $60.

[MynameisTitus13]

And who freaking cares about atmosphere. Your not going to care about a flower bush when your heading up a 310ft hill.

[TheDrumMan20]

Atmosphere is not a flower bush. If it were, then CP would have atmosphere. It's theming, which is obviously missing at the Point. I'd take Griffon over anything at Cedar Point, and Alpengeist over anything but Maverick. Busch Gardens has not coasters that are tall, fast or thrilling? How about Griffon, the world's first floorless dive machine, or Alpengeist, the world's tallest full circuit Inverted coasters? What about Apollo's Chariot, which ranked 5th in your Golden Ticket Awards this year?

[MynameisTitus13]

Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, Raptor and Wicked Twister are waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy better than Griffon. Griffon is like 30 seconds long. The only thrilling part of Griffon is going up the hill.

[TheTeenman14]

...OKAY!!...Titus...you need to shut up....you keep bagging this coaster and yet ur 2nd favorite park is Kings Dominion! What is your problem...there is still 7 months until it opens and since day 1 you havebeen posting nasty comments....Grow a set and get over it!!

[MynameisTitus13]

In 7 months I will be in Ohio. Home of the waaaayyyyy better park Cedar Point which is home of the waaaayyyy better Millennium Force.

[vcgjr76]

And your way better park Cedar Point is ran by the way better Cedar Fair company that runs 12 other parks including KD

[MynameisTitus13]

Cedar Fair's main parks are Cedar Point and Valley Fair (since its CEDARpoint and valleyFAIR). Those other parks just need to be sold back to their original companies.

[TheDrumMan20]

Valleyfair! is one of their main parks? Maybe you should do some research, because then you'd know that it is for sale right now...I'm tired of your uneducated and critical comments adding nothing to the argument. And commenting 3 times in a row is really annoying.

[KingsDominion223]

Intimidator 305 = EPIC FAILURE

[vcgjr76]

Then don't ride

[KingsDominion223]

I'm saying it looks like an epic faliure but that does not mean it is. It looks like it will be a faliure.

[vcgjr76]

Ride it first, then if you feel the same way let your opinions be known. It's hard to tell anything off animation.

[jadebrew]

exactly.

[KingsDominionLvr]

WTF?

[dgcpinoy]

You guys, don't judge anything until you've actually ridden the real coaster. It's difficult to judge based off a computer simulation. Wait til the real thing is open and go out there and ride it! Then come back here and post your opinions about it.

[YalWerdna]

Holy. Shit. Titus, please stop. I agree. Intimidator for Carowinds does look better to me, but there is absolutely NO DAMN POINT in arguing. We all have different tastes. You're arguing about an amusement park ride for God's sake. Put your debating skills to something useful.

[matters9319]

Lets keep in mind the speed this ride will have.......it never lets up! Just like Millennium Force. No ride that is going over 90mph, no matter how much you bash the layout, will be "lame", or "boring."

[MynameisTitus13]

I actully don't care anymore. I mean if KD wants to waste 25 million on this trash then that's their mistake. I won't be there next year I will be at Carowinds where the waaaayyyyy better Intimidator is.

[MaximumPower01]

This ride is gonna be sick. Should compete right up there with Millenium Force. (very similar layout)

[plaidsmen]

this looks like its gonna be a sick ride. goin there next summer, all the way from canada :O

[TheBlazerfan7]

i can't wait to go this summer.

[Neptune737]

MynameisTitus...STFU!!!!!!!!!!­! Dude you whine a WHOLE LOT! You've never ridden it, so shut up and wait till April to give your judgment.

[MynameisTitus13]

I know. I can't wait untill April were I can ride the much better Intimidator at Carowinds.

[MynameisTitus13]

You all have never been on it either. So you don't know if it will be GOOD.

[Neptune737]

Nah shit sherlock, I'm not saying it's good...I think it LOOKS good but I can't say if it IS good until it opens in April...

[MynameisTitus13]

I can tell by the way it looks that it will suck. Even the freaking Ride of Steel looks better than this.

[Neptune737]

Dude just shut the hell up...your annoying as hell...

[ablougabla]

why do people assume that its a millenium force "wannabe" just cuz its a intamin giga coaster?
