Today, work on the 151 ft. camelback hill for Intimidator has begun and by the end of today, it was topped off. Wow! How they managed to top it off so quickly is beyond me. XD. So far, Intimidator at Carowinds is really going up quick compared to:
1. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit (Remember all those problems last summer/spring. i.e. On June 4, 2009, they had to take off the lift hill for anti roll backs (thus the slow speed in the first testing videos). On June 28, 2009, it valleyed (maybe they did it on purpose like Behemoth). On August 13, 2009, the banner ripped. Also the moving walkway problem (even though the coaster is open). The MW will be up by December I believe (according to Screamscape)).
2. Deja Vu clones (They were delayed until Fall 2001 XD)
3. Maverick (In May 2007, they had to remove the heartline roll)
4. X2 (Delayed until 2002 with it originally in 2001. I don't know what happened. XD)
5. Flying Turns (It started in 2005 and they are still working on it today)
So far, nothing is wrong with Intimidator or Intimidator 305 (even though Intimidator at Carowinds is moving faster than I305). Who knows? Maybe it will be like Manta and be complete before 2009 ends (Manta's track work was complete before 2008 ended)...
