This is far and away my favorite Intamin coaster. It's got insane lateral Gs, insane positive Gs, and insane negative Gs. It's like it's actively trying to kill you.
I'd love to ride, it seems like an unforgettable experience! There's nothing wrong with a big of force every so often ;)
COASTER BOT Indeed,and I would love to see a big of force In the UK too!
;)
Bricktycoon loved this comment haha
Just like the real NASCAR
Btw intimidator usually gets the shortest line in the park so don’t worry about that
0:23 damn this shot makes it look 1000 feet tall
not that tall haha.
True lol
Hands down best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden.
Awesome! :)
Don't you mean Hands up
Yeah ig so😅
same
One GP thought airtime was dangerous. 🤦♂️
J Terry TV I guarantee you found that on Coaster Studios’ dumb GP comments video
Jonathan Terry Airtime not Dangerous this ride is about g force wich can be a bit of pressere
I blackout on this ride everytime I ride it. Also, this ride is the reason I have a fear of roller coasters
ᅥ묘ᅵᄆCup_Of Tae With Some Suga Kookies you don’t probably don’t black out you gray out there is a difference
Its rlly fun tho
@@C41VE do you black out or grey out?
@@adrenaline_thrillz7175 black out
@@C41VE damn
Great video! Kings Dominion is one of my home parks and I love Intimidator 305.
Thank you, that's awesome! :)
CoasterDrops if you ride it next time I go I want to ride it but I wanna get it over with. Does the hill go fast?
One of my home parks? What else is by this place.
Aleasha Lockhart yes. Sit near the front, it feels slower.
Braeden Leland Busch gardens is really close and Hershey park is a couple hours away
Maybe not the world's best coaster but it's definitely up there. KD is my home park and I rode this back in 2010 when it debuted. A friend and myself got off the ride looked at each other and I was asked did I black out? I yelled. Yes I did! What was that about?! It happened a few times after that too. Thankfully they did what they needed to do to reduce blackouts but after a while, I stopped riding it in fear I would black out again. Literally began riding it again in 2018 and no blackouts have taken place.
That's crazy, I'm sure it was an entirely different beast back on opening year! :)
One thing that millennium force will always have on this ride is the lap restraints. Going down that MASSIVE drop with only lap bars is some scary shit
The history of "dialing in" the Intimidator 305 is interesting, and well described toward the end of this video (3:17). Folks who've ridden this coaster are likely familiar with the experience of "grey-out" or "stars" at the first air-time hump, just after the initial drop. However, this coaster's first season riders endured blackout-inducing forces after the drop AND grey-out for the remainder of the ride.
The Intimidator 305 was just too fast! Crazy fast! Rider complaints of unpleasant sensations due to the high momentum over the course of the track raised concern about ride safety. It took ride engineers several attempts (colloquially called "revisions") to tweak the coaster's speed at critical points in the ride. Engineers added trim brakes, along with a subtle change to track at the first bank turn, to lower the speed and lessen the cause of blackouts this point in the ride. Additional trim brakes were added to lessen the cause of shoulder/neck injury and potential grey-outs further along the track.
Despite the changes during Intimidator 305's first season, the train still runs plenty fast today--sometimes too fast for the algorithm of the ride computer: the trim brakes can be felt on occasion! Riders still remark about experiencing "grey-out" or "stars" after recovering from that 94 meter drop. While the current ride experience is intentionally less rigorous than its original incarnation, the Intimidator 305 is no less intense! It is a very well-designed roller coaster and worth a visit to Kings Dominion to experience it.
Just visited KD for the first time this week. I can honestly say that I was legitimately afraid while heading up the lift hill of Intimidator 305. I haven't felt that fear since I was a kid. :-)
I ended up going on this ride 3x and count it as in my top 3 of roller coasters I've ridden and I'm over 100. It's definitely the most intense. What a fantastic ride and greta vid. Thank you for posting it.
That's awesome to hear, well done for braving your fears :)
THIS COASTER IS PERFECT MY CURRENT #1,i love the intensity! Its basically an up scale karnan.
I rode this before they modified it and I specifically remember blacking out. In fact, I have the picture of me blacking out because the camera used to be at the bottom of the first drop. It's super intense either way and I feel so lucky to have such a gr8 ride at my home park
Oh wow, that must have been cool! :)
I would've rode Intimidor 305 when I went to Kings Dominion in the Summer of 2015, but the heat and humidity got the best of me.
Also, the clip at 0:58 showed part of a great battle between Terry LaBonte and Dale Earnhardt for the win at Bristol in 2000.
You can be the gentleman start your engine guy on itimidimidator like it's better than what we have now
I was at kings dominion last summer and this ( and dominator ) were the only coasters I didn't ride ( intimidator was closed the whole time for the two days I was there except it opened about halfway through my second day and had a two hour wait within the first half hour ) so yeah. But this is still my favorite amusement park as it made me a coaster enthusiast after riding volcano. Plan to go back soon and going to cedar point this summer, steel vengeance here I come.
Intimidator 305 > Millennium Force
But...........
Intimidator 305 < Fury 325
i305 is the best giga
RavenSuperTytan Productions the Intamin giga coasters are better than B&M ones
Haven't ridden fury 325, but I gotta say I felt like Millennium Force was more of a thrill than intimidator 305. I believe the intimidator 305 was built better, and could be a better ride, but the lack of shoulder straps on millennium force leave you feeling open and vulnerable during the ride. It felt more extreme to me, even though I blacked out on intimidator 305. Both are incredible rides. Take away the shoulder straps on intimidator 305 and then I'd agree with you...they simply can't though because of the whips back and forth.
Fury is my fav
stfu fanboy
i live in Virginia and i have been there but not on the 305
the roller rides ive been on
Volcano
Dominator
Avalanche
the indoor one idk the name
Stunt coaster
and many more
except 305
Next time you visit you'll have to ride i305! The other rides at Kings Dominion also look great. :)
COASTER BOT hope so
The flight of fear is the indoor one
wolf pack rip volcano
Can’t believe 305 is a decade old!
This is my new home park’s best coaster. It’s my favorite Intiman coaster and my fourth favorite coaster overall. Can’t wait to get a ton of rides on it this summer.
Honestly loved this ride the first time I rode it, and every time I have ridden, i enjoy it. One of the best thrill rides in my opinion.
Great to hear! :)
Intimidator 305 looks so cool I really wanna on it it’s looks so clean and I bet the airtime is amazing
I have been in fury 325 and the regular intimidator because I’m from Carowinds but I think intimidator 305 is better
Not quite sure how true this is (if anyone can confirm that would be great), but apparently the "Gentlemen start your engines" was recorded by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
As for the coaster itself, I love it. The forces are incredible and those S-Curves are in another level of intense. It is definitely one of the best coasters out there.
That's interesting if it was actually him! As for the ride, it looks as incredible as you make it out to be :)
I've rode many coasters all over the country including world famous millennium force....intimidator 305 destroys them all. By far the most intense coaster in the states. Theres a bank switch on the Crest of a hill which never gets old. Its violent and aggressive it at the same time smooth and flawless...the first right bank and the bank switch towards end of ride are the best aspects of it imo. Plus the lift system is wicked fast, you're not being towed and dropped over the first hill, no i305 literally throws you over the hill
why can't these insane coasters be in North-West Europe! :(
Ry 010 cous most of our parks dont have mony
Are you from the Netherlands?
hoe kon je het raden
Het is in iedergeval minder moeilijk praten nu, Je achternaam lijkt me Nederlands. Het zou wel leuk zijn als walibi of de efteling zo'n grote achtbaan zou neerzetten
Ry 010 Toverland doet het wel
i305 is my number 2 coaster and my third favorite coaster
Thx now I'm less scared to go on it scence they installed brakes
you will still grey out with the brakes, just not as much
@@mi1c35x yea I know I blacked out on the intimidator305
What is Intimidator 305? Literal perfection~
If only some other ride got i305 restraints... kingda ka
I'd prefer lapbars nowadays! :)
hi coaster Bot
Hello Creeperboy223!
As I understand it, New Jersey state law requires over-the-shoulder restraints on rides above a certain height. That height must be somewhere above 220 feet, as Nitro, in the same park, only has lap bars (massive, chunky B&M lap bars, which are still quite comfortable).
In my opinion, because Kingda Ka has very little lateral movement, there's not much chance of headbanging, except perhaps during the launch. Kingda Ka doesn't really have any airtime to speak of, so the type of restraint seemed somewhat irrelevant to me.
That would be correct, I have heard that rides above 300 feet tall must have over the shoulder restraints in New Jersey. However, the restraints on Kingda Ka are still quite uncomfortable and I wish they would use the restraints that can be found on i305.
What is Intimidator 305?
Answer: the best coaster in the world, Intensity beats airtime
1. The Carowinds one is jokingly called In-TRIM-idator because of noticeable trim breaks!
2. Supposeldy, people have greyed out on I305
3. The Dale Earnhart themed gift shop at I305 has been closed down
ive been on it tip : your head will want to hit the buckle dont let that happen you get cuts.
A true american ride. MURICA!
Well, it was made by Intamin... a Swiss company
Kyrpi Coasters I hate you
Kyrpi Coasters
Where was it built? How many of i305 coasters are in Switzerland?
Never grayed or blkd out on this ,
Just terrified in the Q !!
As a UK coaster enthusiast this is the first rollercoaster I want to ride when I make it to the US - great video btw coasterbot!
It's a good choice, I'd love to ride it myself! Thank you :)
CycloneChilli its a good ride but there are much beater roller costers in USA then this Steal Vengence Furry 325 Millennium force Voyidge orion i have been on all the gggir costers and rmc and this is the worst it does not have much air time i am not saying do not ride it recommend it but it does not give much air time i do like it but is my least favourite giger coaster yet the same park has one of my Favourate RMCs Twisted Timbers a Much beater ride with lots of Floter and Ejector Airtime one of my favourite RMC's yet not as god as Steil Vengence or Twisted collousers or Outlaw run but beter then storm chaser Goliath or Under pant girl or Lightining rod
Coaster bot, I love your vids you deserve more subscribers also please do a video covering Xpress Platform 13.
Thank you, it means a lot! Xpress Platform 13 is on the list, thanks for the suggestion. :)

Thanks, I will do. There's lots more to come in the future :)
:o I got a heart on my comment
My favorite coaster of all time, followed closely by El Toro.
Poor El Toto…
When Maverick and millennium Force have a child & create this beast of coaster

I love this coaster ive riding it like 4 times this season already

Well then
This Channel is a really great idea. Fantastic job on each and every video. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much! There is a lot more to come on the future. Stay tuned. :)
When I am writing this, I just got off this roller coaster like, 3 hours ago.
I greyed at least once, and that is RARE.
It was by far the best roller coaster I have been on in my life.
That's awesome to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Gittiz it is a very intense ride i did not grey but statrted to
Hands down the best looking Coaster out there. (Theming not considered)
They need to get Taron's restraints on this! Even the padded restraints look uncomfortable and look like they restrict airtime!!
Demand Thrill That would be awesome. The restraints of Taron are just great.
yep
yeah... but you'd get extreme whiplash from that...
CoasterCrab This is true.
The restraints are fine the way they are. I personally find them comfortable and I got plenty of airtime throughout the ride.
Just went on this yesterday! So funnnn
Awesome! :)
Clicks video, presses like
Okay, now let's watch the video!
I approve! Thanks for watching and liking :)
What is intimidator 305? TOTALLY AMAZING. Honestly might be my new #1
My 3rd favorite coaster at the moment (only Fury 325 and Maverick top it!)
I love this roller-coaster its so fun and intense
It looks awesome
If they can get rid of those restraints. Best coaster ever.
I remember blacking our for a second on this. Should of kept that element tbh it’s awesome lol
I don't know if this is the best Intamin coasters (looks like one of the best), but it certainly looks to be the most intense. After having ridden Taron again today, I was just blown away by how intense some of the fast transitions and changes of direction on that thing are. But looking at some of the transitions on i305, they seem almost twice as fast. It's honestly a little scary.
(Please mind that this comes from someone who hasn't yet ridden it.)
I agree, it does look a bit scary. Scary, but awesome! :)
I guess you could also call it ......... intimidating :P
Just don't get a cramp halfway through it like I did. Lots of pain. I live an hour away from kings dominion, but if you ever get the chance to go, ride the intimidator first. Otherwise, you might think about it too much and back out of riding it.
I’m from Va and have been on this many times. Every time I go, I’m scared as fuck to go on this. It’s really fun though once you begin to hit that first drop. It’s just the anticipation that kills you lol.
I def blacked out at that 1st turn lmaooo
I still gray out every time I ride it so at this point I just close my eyes every time for the first drop 😂
Fair enough! I'd love to experience such an awesome looking drop :)
I gray out, too, but just plow through it
I always ride this coaster every time I go to kings dominion.
And by the way, thanks for the fun facts about Intimidator 305, they were very interesting and great vid
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
One of the best rides I’ve been on
Awesome to hear! :)
Well up until seeing this id always think that 4D? coaster in six flags was the best but...... now im not sure, raw speed.
Being a student in the UK sucks. I'd love to ride this one day, it's near the top of the list on coasters i will have to ride one day
I'm the same unfortunately! I'm sure we will both get to ride this fantastic coaster one day! :)
there are much beater roller coasters in America then this but this is very good but Ceder point and Kings island and cowinds are beater but this is a good ride and very intence i had rining ers when i came of and had a whisky it gives very good g force and negitive g its the only roller coaster i had grey vision on
Welp it’s now their flagship with Volcano Kickin the bucket.
When I went to carwinds i saw the intimidator it looked so scary i even screamed but not that loud and I could here the people screaming for their life it was fun though and I went to like 5 roller coasters and I almost passed out on all of them because they were fast but it was fun😂😂😂
I wish they had not trimmed it. I never got to experience it in its original glory. My only issue is this ride feels short.
plsssss do what is leviathan or canadas wonderland explained ! please
Both are on the list, thanks for the suggestions. :)
i like how they tryed to fix the gs but every time u get off the first turn i grey out
Absolutely kick-butt ride. It's awesome. It would be perfect if it didn't have the trim brake on the last full camelhump. For the life of me I can't figure that out.
It really looks great, regardless of the trims :)
It is. Amazing intense ride.
i for some reason prefer ots restraints over lap bars
That's odd, but fair enough! :)
My whole family says ots restraints is better bc it's safer -_- *GP*
I didn’t realize the first drop was almost 90 degrees. I think I’ll skip out on this one for now. I hear plenty of people still gray and black out on it.
Well I think every coaster is worth trying once! :)
I've got a platinum pass to all Cedar Fair parks but with my schedule for work I'd never make it that easy!! Dammit
Hopefully you can visit all of the Cedar Fair parks in the future! Good luck. :)
What is: Speed: No Limits - Oakwood plz
Live stream was a lot of fun, whens the next one gonna be?
I'll add that coaster to the list. As of now, I don't know when the next stream is I'm afraid.
Ok thx :D
My mother says that we are going to Carowinds this summer. Super nervous about riding on Fury.
That's awesome! I get nervous riding coasters too sometimes, but I always remember that I'm going to love it after the first drop. Just think of how great it will be once it actually gets going! :)
ThegoatHead you should go on this it is intense you may fell funny but it is a very good ride ask your mum for a whisky before
Great Job on the video! Especially about the theme. ;)
Thank you very much! :)
This is my second favorite giga coaster. I have only been on two.
Ima guess Fury is the other?
Oh and I forgot this! When it first opened, every other train would stop right before the crest of the first hill to scare people.
That sounds spooky!
I really wish I didn't chicken out on this when me and my parents went. Now I really wanna ride it!
You'll have to ride it next time! :)
COASTER BOT
Definetely! I don't know when I'll go back (probably in a really long time) but I will!
My favourite roller coaster
Awesome to hear!
KaboomXD it is in my top 30 but not my top ten
Carowinds intimidator is the OG intimidator right? It seems older.
Carowinds Intimidator opened only a few days before this one did! :)
Best coaster I have ridden but it’s only a tiny bit better then milenium force
Awesome! :)
Yey! Coaster bot repleyd on my comment :)
Modern Dissident i prefer milenium force much more then this it even has good music wich is rare for a usa ride well its made by Intenium
and the most intense rollercoaster in the world award goes to.....
my number 3 or 4 (maybe 5) but used to be my number 1, my first giga
Awesome! :)
awesome coaster love the vid pls do a copperhead strike one
Thank you, I'll note that suggestion down :)
Rip dale Earnhardt 😢😢😢😢
I hope at some point in the future you will do the new ride at Alton towers
You are in luck, I hope to create several videos on the new ride at Alton Towers! Stay tuned :)
Very Informative video!
Thank you! :)
If a 200-feet rollercoaster is called a hypercoaster, a 300-feet rollercoaster is called a gigacoaster and a 400-feet rollercoaster is called a strata-coaster, what is a 500-feet rollercoaster then called?
Doesn't exist yet. Although something like "Hydra-coaster" would be pretty cool. 😁
I...I blacked out during the drop lol. I literally rode it yesterday,
You aren't alone, quite a few people do! :)
the coaster looks amazing but personally I am not so keen on the theming. If you're going to let your imagination run wild with the layout its a bit of a shame that isn't extended to the area where the ride is located as a replica race car and some flags is a little disappointing in my opinion. Anyway another excellent production Mr Bot and all the best with your exams - you'll smash it!
I agree, the theming is a little lacklustre. Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! I'll do my best :)
Out of 174 credits top 5 coaster right here!!
Awesome! :)
Of course
This coaster looks to dominate everything else, but people actually prefer Fury which is forceless over this? That’s terrible, I305 actually does something useful.
Fury looks more fun than this, but i305 certainly seems more intense!
COASTER BOT No offense, but I think I305 is better.
RailkouisAwesome its Fury 325 and is a much beater ride then this as it as Lots of Air time a more interesting layout whilst i305 is jst abut intencity yet its a good ride
@@timothywait9457fury is my #5 and skyrush, WR is 3rd, pantheon is 2nd and i305 is #1 pure power and speed and force is what makes this the best coaster I’ve been on, fury is just a bigger hyper with more turns
Nice video!
Any idea when the next Coaster Lounge is? I'll sure be there the whole stream!
Thank you! The next Coaster Lounge will most likely be near the start of June. I am currently in the process of preparing for (and then sitting) exams. After those are over we will all be more free. Stay tuned on the channel and on social media for news about live streams :)
I wish you the best on those exams!
Thank you, I really appreciate it :)
It's a amazing ride !
Indeed it is! :)
People seem to love this coaster, but I am disappointed every time I ride. It had such high potential to be full of airtime and unique elements, being an Intamin giga, but I find that the airtime is minimal, and the tight, low-to-the-ground whip turns are very painful. Not to mention that the height is really the only unique thing about the ride. I honestly won’t wait more than 20 minutes for this ride, and wouldn’t dare take any row but the front, it gets worse the farther back you go. That’s just my two cents.
Pussy it’s about intensity not air
I really love roller coasters, but i'm a Dutch 13yo so I can't just deside that I can go to America and ride a bunch of rollercoaster or even in my own country. Can't wait till I'm older jeeeeeej😐
i just now realized that this guy writes his scripts like a college kid writes essays
Extremely well with perfect use of the English Language? ;)
@@coasterbot going almost too far in depth for the sake of stretching out the word count
NASCAR is the greatest sport in the world and this is one of the best coaster in the world.
I wouldn't agree on the first comment, but i305 does look fantastic! :)
Coast not a good sport i do not like sport and this is not one of the best roller coasters in the world but is a top 30
my opinion? its the best roller coaster in the entire world. and ive ridden over 200 coasters.
It certainly looks awesome! :)
@@coasterbot you have to ride it at some point in your life my friend. you just HAVE to.
assuming you are from U.K.? get a hotel near the northern va area and you can knock out Busch gardens williamsburg, kings dominion, AND hershey park as all are within a few hours drive. make the trip worth it 👌
tyler3691 no it is not the best but is the most intense
I rode this on a cold wet day, and I saw stars.
When are you doing what is Wicked Cyclone?
We currently have no definitive schedule, so I can't tell you unfortunately! All I can tell you is that it's on the list. :)
Why is there over the shoulder restraints?
Unfortunately I305 came before the transition to lap bar design.
