Intimidator 305 Front Seat on-ride POV Kings Dominion

[cjsparks1996]

kings dominion Y U NO OPEN

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@holyIight3 Actually, it's not even in the top 10 (it's the 11th longest). Millennium Force at Cedar Point is the longest, followed by Formula Rossa at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates & California Screamin' at Disney's California Adventure.

[hbfarker]

That has to be the fastest chain lift ever made!

[natethegreat100010]

@hbfarker thats because its an elevator lift hill.

[1nsertTitleHere]

up in less than twenty seconds, DAMN!

[crunchycereal10]

Best Coaster EVAR!!!!!!!!!!! This is my top favorite coaster in the world!

[SingleRiderMitch]

great ride but millenium force is far better

[TheBananaman380]

when did you black out?

[tiki2188]

Oh my god, the lift looks even faster than M Force! Hoping to visit a friend in VA and this is a good park, so may have to convince em to stop here! This ride looks sick

[rocker78able]

0:26 I would have blacked out...

[Jake2336]

Millennium Force is better.

[theaterqueen95]

@Jake2336 I have yet to ride this, but I have been on Millennium Force (which was AWESOME) and I'm sure it is better: it WAS the original Giga coaster

[rollercoasterfan97]

@theaterqueen95 Millennium Force is indeed a very very good roller coaster - but really, nothing matches the intensity and insanity of Intimidator 305 - nothing.

It is without a doubt the most intense and crazy roller coaster ever made.

its pure bliss, and IMO better than Millennium Force.

[jclacey1234]

i have 3 questions

1. How fast is the lift hill

2. How steep is the lift hill

3. How tall is the second hill

[AarontheEpicLBT]

@devolition5456 Just because something is fastest doesn't mean it's best. Besides, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[AarontheEpicLBT]

0:04-0:21 That chain lift appears faster than a good few roller coasters I've been on.

[t0036028c]

although this ride is good, but I just dun get why kings dominion theming is bad, like this ride, flight of fear and backlot stunt coaster placed in the congo section?

[88jackl]

@t0036028c i like flight of fears theme not intimidator 305s or Backlot stunt coaster all the other onces are good though, but i cant help it intimidator is SO awesome

[kittygirl9009]

OH HELL NO

[passthepipe1]

This looks amazing!

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@devolition5456 90 mph

[userwizard234]

That looks Terrifing

[turnfan98]

Dear COASTERFORCEcom,

I have a question. Why the added trim breaks after the first drop?

Please answer my question.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@turnfan98 They put brake fins on the first drop to slow the coaster down. When the coaster first opened it didn't have any braking on the first drop & went much faster, but that caused too much friction & wear on the wheels so they had to slow it down. Since then they have changed the curve at the bottom of the first drop, so wheel fatigue is no longer an issue & they've removed the brakes on the first drop.

[cjsparks1996]

i don't care what anyone says this is my favorite ride on earth

[rushpittsburgh4]

The smaller problems are things like what park it's at. Am not sayin that KDs a bad park but cedar points better. MF makes the cedar point skyline even better. Same with i305 but MF has the sick supports and is blue and has lots of hills that look like they shoot out of trees. Like I said before I305 doesn't look like a bad ride, just not nearly as good as Millennium Force, dat shits untouchable. Btw I305 is better than bizzaro

[rushpittsburgh4]

This ride looks top ten worldwide but there are 2 major problems and and a slew of other small ones.

Prob1. it's to short 1:05, from start of lift hill till break run.

Prob2. Trim breaks

[Xkjgmcr522X]

I went on this twice this past august...i blacked out both times xD I didn't regain my vision until it reached the hill at 0:35 but it was so worth it xD

[LoveTheCupcake]

0:04 "Hold on to the black grab bars with both hands at all times during the ride" Psssssh. Yeah, RIGHT. I'm sure everyone's gonna do that... NOT. lol

[anotherstreetskater]

idrc what anyone says about it being taller and shit the one in charlotte is more fun

[jclacey1234]

@devolition5456 just shut up

[OriolesFan7497]

SEE? THAT WAS BAD! lmfao

[XXTati8XX]

How can people black out from this?

[Kidwhofailsmost]

@XXTati8XX Most people really don't even black out they just say that because they heard someone blacked out and have never experienced it. They are just experiencing tunnel vision(grey out) which is caused from the g's forcing blood out of your head. It basically just feels like your eyes are being forced closed

[Kidwhofailsmost]

[SpringKid93]

Going here in 20 days!!!

[MynameisTitus13]

@jclacey1234 Not even close, sorry!

[TheBananaman380]

@jclacey1234 yeah right intimidator 305 is just a little millenium force wannabe and they cheat by making the lift WAY faster than millenium force so its smaller but faster

[88jackl]

@TheBananaman380 it is 5 feet shorter, its steeper, it has cooler attributes, ya so it is overall better, and anyway millenium force drops 300 feet and Intimidator 305 drops 301 feet so its obvious theyre the same speed

[rollercoasterfan97]

@TheBananaman380 or technology has just improved so why the hell not make the lift faster?

Thats the silliest thing I've ever heard. Both I305 and MF are under the same corporation (Cedar Fair), and manufactured by the same company (Intamin), yet somehow this is a 'wannabe millennium force which's owner park is cheating'??

huh??

really??

[pokemonster1998]

i like how before it starts it goes "Gentlemen start your engines!"

[headcrusher115]

could be longer

[TheSackboyKing]

LOL

[TheSackboyKing]

I heard you blacked out on this one

[iceskater12356]

@TheSackboyKing Ya, he did. I saw it in a comment on another video. I think it was the Manta Seaworld Orlando vid

[TheBamBamxoxo]

omg i got on dat last saturday hell 2 da nah never eva again !!!!

[cupstackingdude]

Did u ever black out on a rolle coaster?

[TheAllanaV]

Oh Yeah Baby! ------- Is that even the rider?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@TheAllanaV Yes that's the person riding next to Eastcoastergeneral, who filmed the video, but ECG never screams or says anything in his videos.

[burnslide1]

this ride looks lame

[NovaNation8701]

@burnslide1 ???how???

[dcs290]

@burnslide1 allright then make a video of you on it mr norris....

[MrTechlover100]

@burnslide1 its really not. its very intense and i blacked out from the g-forces at the end of that sharp turn.

[HimGuyOverThere]

@burnslide1 Dude, it has a reputation for making people black out, its intense

[bigcuff825]

i blacked out after the drop and turn

[jjlwis]

damn this ride will fuck you UP!

[BulletBikeFlameFlyer]

Hey CoasterForce, is this better than Millennium Force?

Also, what is the best B&M Looper?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@BulletBikeFlameFlyer CoasterForce isn't a person. We have over 4000 members. Some like this better & others like Millennium Force more. And there are many different types of B&M loopers (inverts, floorless, sit-downs), so who's to say which one is the best.

[TheJedigir]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom chuck norris

[gyqz]

I love speedy lifthills!!!!!!

[mainhelper]

everytime i ride this i black out

[princesspurrfect11]

That is one beautiful coaster!! I am still yet to ride it but i can tell I wont be dissapointed!

[MrLukeimurdad6]

so is this higher than the intimidator at carowinds?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MrLukeimurdad6 Yes, this is 33 feet taller than Intimidator at Carowinds.

[MrLukeimurdad6]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom heh wow i wanna ride that

[XxjceeT6xX]

That lift chain is insanely fast ..

[oODavieOo]

wow that was fast

[ctfree]

how long is line and is millennium force and this built by the same company?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ctfree Yes, they are both built by Intamin & the line varies depending on when you're there, but the line moves really fast regardless.

[ctfree]

Is this 250ft or 300ft

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ctfree It's 305 feet - thus the name.

[hockybros]

EVERYONE!!!!! TRIMS ARE REMOVED!!!!!!

[aplusgymnastics]

how long was the line for this

[MrTim2554]

0:29 epic wind sound

[biggerthanyou79]

i went with my senior class here for our class trip. both times we got in line for this it broke down and we never got to ride

[DrawingGirl100]

Wow, I love Dale Earnhart but, THAT'S CRAZY!!!!! Who's ever seen a roller coaster that climbs a steep, tall hill that fast?!?!?!?!?!?

[LEGITxBOSS]

haha this was my first roller coaster 3 years ago

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@LEGITxBOSS How could it have been your first coaster 3 years ago when it wasn't even built then & opened for the first time last year?

[ddavisjr128]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Between Intimidator 305 and Millennium Force which do you think is better?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ddavisjr128 Let's wait until the park opens again & ride it with the new track layout before making any final judgements. ok?

[TheJedigir]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom how tall is intimidator 305?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@TheJedigir Would you believe 305 feet? ;D

[TheJedigir]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom oh yeah!

[rollercoasterfan97]

hey cedar fair. TAKE THE FREAKING TRIMS OFF!

[Picklesthedrummer7]

@rollercoasterfan97 They are actually redoing the first turn to make it possible for a no brake trim ride.

[rollercoasterfan97]

@Picklesthedrummer7 yep i know, theyve actually finished re-modelling the turn, im just waiting to see it testing and hopefully eventually testing without the trims :)

[Tatybo0o]

I punked out on this ride...I love Kings Dominion but I will NEVER ride this ride...epic failure -_-

[rollercoasterfan97]

@Tatybo0o how come?

is it cos of the really intense g's and reports of blackouts?

[1983djtimo]

Wow fast lifthill

[icecat0099]

I wonder what Intamin is doing to this ride for next year. Since they've taken the second hill out and are said to be widening the first turn along with removing the trims.

[TheStrainedAcacia]

@icecat0099 they are? lol might as well get rid of it and move it to a park where a 305ft tall coaster can actually be useful.

[icecat0099]

@TheStrainedAcacia Search 'Intimidator 305 update' it should be the first video and go about 4 minutes into it.

[RocketRodder]

themeparkreviewTPR's version is better

[CFMichael]

@RocketRodder

At least with this version you can actually watch the video without having to listen to some bloke talking all the way around the ride!

[Clintondmb]

@RocketRodder yeah but the dude needs to shut up.

[worldofwar6]

I rode that, that's a BIIIGGGG drop. Lol if your scared of drops, and high things. then DONT RIDE THIS !!

[MrsMountaineer7]

my friends lil bro rode this and cryed and almost peed his pants............lmto

[ShadowRG91]

THIS IS MY SHIT GOT ON THAT 2 times before i left XD LOVE IT

[Picklesthedrummer7]

I wish I could have ridden this ride when the break trims were not there!

[ProjectCoaster]

This coaster is awesome!

[xoitsjessicaa]

I blacked out for like three seconds on here.

[ThatsH0M0]

@CAZZERNERY Well, technically theyre the same speed. Their average speeds are what are posted, but they actually fluctuate from about 90 to 95 mph. So neither is really faster, one just has a better lift. Millenium force is 310 btw.

[CAZZERNERY]

Is the drop 305 feet? Because it goes 1 mph faster than Millenium Force at Cedar Point.

[fallboy37]

LOVED THIS RIDE. i rode it over the summer 3 times. 2 times in the very back and once in the very front. amazing.

[babylon2257]

Who knows what it will be like this Spring, hopefully they will remove the trims after they re-lay the track on the 1st hill. (vid on YouTube) Well I can hope because I see no other reason for tearing down section of track.

[xTOOSICKx1]

my cousin and i got front row on this at night at like 9:45 then....... we fell.... 305 feet.... into pitch dark, IT WAS AMAZING OMG I LOVED IT!!

[acpowers13]

xcellerator at knotts is better. it SHOOTS you off instead of using a chain lift. you go straight up and straight down. then almost upside down

[MynameisTitus13]

Xcelerator is nothing compared to Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda KA.

[acpowers13]

@MynameisTitus13 in certain ways.

[martinerrr]

Some measurements say the G Force is about 4!

(Before the trims)

[bosico45]

@martinerrr but is was for like 5 seconds

[10AlexW01]

OH MY GOSH THAT LOOKS INTENSE. A 305ft drop followed by several steeply banked curves? Yes please...

[lala149]

idk either this or nitro i rode both but nitro isn't meesin wit dis if u ride this and nitro u will find dis fun

[gregoirefamily]

I'm gonna go on this coaster the 1st time i visit this park! Looks AWESOME!!!!!!



[1996yinyanglover]

where's the freaking scooby-doo ride?!?!?! i loved that one!!!

[thedimeckks]

OTSR R U KIDDENG ME 

[dbrown327]

did any one else black out on this?

thumbs up if you did

[2012jarrett]

@dbrown327 I almost did. I saw in muted color for a while after riding and I bumped into the railing on the exit path because I was so lightheaded after riding.

[ottobord]

this rollercoaster is why life is awesome

[imatriSARAHtops]

i rode this coaster.im 14 and i went over the summer and i hadnt been to KD since i was 4 and i didnt even remember going.it was the first ride we rode.i was scared to death at first but whn it was over i thought it was amazing.my cousin rode it 6 times while we were there (:

[glossyxokizzez]

i felt light headed when i got to the bottom of this drop. those turns are very unexpected!

[Jmarley912]

The colour scheme works really well on this, much better than Millenium Force's

[MagicWorldNews]

I went on this in SC :D

[TheDeadlyBros]

@MagicWorldNews is there one in sc?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@TheDeadlyBros There is an Intimidator coaster at Carowinds, but it's a different type of coaster. That one is a B&M Mega coaster, whereas this one is an Intamin Giga coaster. This one is much taller & faster with ejector air-time, whereas the one at Carowinds isn't as intense with floater air-time.

[TheDeadlyBros]

@TheDeadlyBros yea i know about the one in Carowinds but i didnt know where that was hahaha thanks!:)

[853game]

it looks like it should be the world's 1st Iron Man themed coaster.

The coulor and the ride it self...

Iron Man: The Ride

[wla379]

Enjoyed this ,,great video!!!

[ryan123456781]

umg, thats a fast lift XD

[coast4airtime1]

Somebody tell Kings Dominion to spray some fire retardent crap on the wheels so they will stop melting and get rid of the stupid trims.

[TheKameogirl]

i cant wait to go to kings dominion

[ADAJ3]

now that i think about it I305 makes no sense if they are saying the wheels were dying out to quick thats why they trimmed it. Look at Kingda ka it is 128 Mph and this used to be 93 Mph so it has to be about people blacking out. I don't see kingda ka being trimmed

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ADAJ3 I-305 has a very curvy track with hills & quick transition elements that cause a lot more friction than the straight track that Kingda Ka (& Top Thrill Dragster, for that matter) have. Riders are still greying\blacking out on the 1st drop, even with the trims.

[itsoscarYO]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom What about Millenium Force's train wheels? Why don't they have to constantly change those? I'm guessing MF's layout isn't as straining as the I-305's?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@itsoscarYO Yes. There's a lot more wheel fatigue on Intimidator 305 than Millenium Force due to the different track layout. MF has high banked turns & easy flowing transitions, whereas I305 has low banked turns & quick transitions that create much higher G-forces & friction. Friction creates heat, which causes the wheel fatigue.

[subtenk0]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom they should get over it. Either ride the ride or dont. Its not like blacking out is bad, its kinda cool!

[animereader1]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom i got tunnel vision , then preceeded to ride it 5 more times. it was awesome

[rbpsk8er94]

i blacked out 1st time

[Tight2go]

@rbpsk8er94 same!!!

[scottyrockm]

NOT SCARY I RODE IT BUT VERY FUN 

[erichunk11]

damn why cant all roller coaster have a chain that fast

[dstmt2]

@erichunk11 its a gigacoaster

[Oneofakind407]

@erichunk11 It's not a chain. It's a steel cable lift, similar to that of an elevator.

[jonjonluvsvideogames]

@erichunk11 ikr

[beau99]

@erichunk11 That's a cable lift, not a chain.

[MysteryKid88]

@erichunk11 exactly when i rode the new york ny roller coaster i was all like hurry up already im bored sittin here 

[CoolioJoe100]

@erichunk11 just fyi, it's not a chain, it's a cable lift. ; )

[kglaser11]

@erichunk11

18 seconds, baby. I love it. ;)

[BigG01234]

@erichunk11 This is a giga coaster.

[jmank871]

i screamed all the cuss words i knew on this ride. ah, the memorys... and the people who looked at me after the ride... bleh. XD

[chrissyluvhorsey]

holy shit that is the fastest lift ive ever seen

[monkeyonatable]

@chrissyluvhorsey It is the fastest cable lift I have been on

[JoshWinninger]

"SEEEE!!! was that bad?!!?" "YES"

[bmwlova4601]

i went to KD today but the line for this was WAY too long!! i want to ride it soooooo bad!!!

[aznman23233]

@bmwlova4601 Did you go on Monday? Cause they shut it down early in the day cause on of the wheels shattered on one of the cars. It was down for like 4-5 hours which is prolly why the line was so long. Its normally really short cause it loads really fast.

[yiungD1118]

@aznman23233 and ppl are scared of it for no reason LOl

[dstmt2]

@bmwlova4601 the line is very very fast

[dubblebubble898]

rode it today, it definitely seems this fast :)

[Hamstringmaster]

did anybody else black out at the end of the drop?

[Tight2go]

@Hamstringmaster yes me

[Saulaxxlover4lyfe]

this ridde needs a lap bar. & thats it.

[jjlwis]

wholy shit.... i just saw a video with the trims... and man... it slows down a lot!!

fuck... this old version must be SO intense... i can see why people black out... fuck a duck

[GetYoureSkateOn]

[badboi787]

ops wrong vid

[badboi787]

stealth wanna be...

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

@badboi787 how is that a "stealth Wannabe"? stealth is a launched coaster?

[DEEMONEYIZDABEST]

i cant wait for this

[icanstandup]

this ride is awesome yesterday was my first time riding and i loved i rode it twice and was in line for the 3rd and they closed the ride :(

[5crazykidz5]

awsome ride

[ADAJ3]

Take those dumb trims off the drop

[ps3master09]

@ADAJ3 they can't or the wheels will melt even more what they need to do is find wheels that wont melt so they can take the trims off
