Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion Giga coaster

[Snoo]

That drop looks immense from that angle.. I'm loving it.

Lets just hope this rain will stop down there.

I was mostly joking about Intimidator being finished before I-305's lifthill was done but jeez, they might actually finish before the 2nd hill is done for real.

MUD!! This will be the worlds biggest/tallest water ride; look out Holiday World (ha, ha.). On the Dec.15/16 kdfansite.com video the coaster looks very intimidating from the "wave pool" area. By the way, the second hill is almost all done. Yes "loefet", the rest of the ride should be a little faster to build.

On a side note, on the official KD site they talk about "Planet Snoopy" new for 2010. Also, on the fan site they talk about "Americana" and "El Dorado", new flat rides for 2009. Of course, the first new giga coaster in 10 years is the BIG news, but I like Ferris wheels. Kings Dominion is really going to be something. Cedar Fair from Ohio to the east > Six Flags from Ohio to the east.

Well.. we all know Americana and El Dorado aren't new by any means..

The Speed Bump has been completed and about half the turn before the first of three knife cut transitions.

That picture makes me horny. I may edit out the crane and make a sexy ava

Is it me or does it look like it dips slightly in the large unsupported section?

 

[Uncle Arly]

^Yeah, it does look like it. =/.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Damnit that's massive, I'm gonna cry! It's hopefully gonna be amazing though!

Also, it does look like it dips, but I'm sure they know what they're doing.

 

[Snoo]

That dip doesn't look significant though. You should see the way S:RoS in NE rolls.. its hilarious.

Hopefully it wont turn into another Wicked Twister. Damn Intamin for trying to go with minimum supports.

 

[Snoo]

WT had a problem with excessive sway, which causes more problems then a slight dip in the track on the lift hill.

We'll see if it causes problems tho. Once it gets warm and the track expands, it could be perfectly fine.

I know!! I laughed so hard, I almost busted a nut!

 

[Snoo]

You drip with sarcasm.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

I wouldn't call it sarcasm, Marcus

 

[Snoo]

I hope you were wearing protection at least.

 

[andrus]

The "dip" doesn't look that bad and if less supports (ie less steel) means a cheaper coaster, I don't bother! (and it looks sexier too!)

They have finished the first of the twisty hills...
