@FlushedAway100 that is inncorect. there was a typo and they made it to 89.5 which rounds to 90 so yah. but they modifying the first gaint turn by extending the radius due to black out complaints. I305 WILL BE RESTORED TO ITS 100% POTENTIAL AGAIN IN 2011.

@unhallowed45 Your welcome dude. I hope they find the right wheels too. I want to experience the drop without trims one of these days lol.
-
Had no idea! Thanks for the info. Hopefully they can develop more efficient wheels in the near future.
-
@unhallowed45 People graying out wasn't the reason for the trims, the main reason was that Intimidator was needing wheel replacements nearly every day due to the speeds and not the right wheel compound. The ride was chewing up wheels left and right, and replacing those wheels was very expensive.
-
Wait, if people still gray out than what's the point of putting on the trims in the first place? I say they remove the trims and advise people a little better about what they are riding. I mean it's called the INTIMIDATOR! lol

Why were the trims installed? Because i read on Screamscape that they considerably reduced the speed to around 75 mph, which would put Intimidator at Carowinds in the top for speed at 80 mph, which upsets me. :[

@ThePhantomity The trims were installed due to wheels getting worn down too quickly and needing to be replaced nearly every day. Don't believe what you hear on the internet, because no new speed has been confirmed from a reliable source yet. The ride most likely still goes around 80+ mph. Don't be upset, because I305 still probably goes faster than Carowind's. We just have to wait for an official new speed.
