Today, Kings Dominion announced a new roller coaster called Intimidator 305. Wow! Something tells me this is NASCAR. I don't watch NASCAR much but the coaster is still cool! Here are the stats:
Name: Intimidator 305
Theme: NASCAR
Manufacturer: Intamin AG
Model: Giga Coaster
Park: Kings Dominion, Doswell, Virginia, USA
Height: 305 ft. (and you wonder why it is called Intimidator 305)
Drop: 300 ft.
Speed: 92 mph.
Lift system: Cable lift
Length: 5100 ft.
Drop Angle: 85 degrees
Opening: April 2010
Here is a POV:
It looks so cool! It will be behind Anaconda (an Arrow Dynamics corkscrew coaster) and Rebel Yell (a Philadelphia Tobaggen Company wooden coaster). :O
Now here is something about Giga Coasters. Giga coasters are coasters that are 300-399 ft. tall. Like a hyper, it is not supposed to have any inversions. There are 2 (soon to be 3) in existence: Millenium Force at Cedar Point (Ohio) (Intamin) and Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spa Land (Japan) (Morgan Manufacturing). Now Intimidator 305 will be the third giga coaster in existence. Kings Dominion is slowly becoming a monster park (like Cedar Point) with so many coasters. All it will take for it to be a monstrosity like its sister park is something like Kingda Ka.
