Too Awesome!

^ Its not really necessary to remove them at the time. My Guess is when ever they have to drain the pond for footer construction of the next incoming coaster they will pull them out of convenience. The station as well. I really think that the station sits on the new entrance to a new 'area' in upcoming seasons. Keep up the comments and questions!

Dominator has a trim right BEFORE the Cobra Roll. It is rarely on. The trim was added after one or two years of operation at Six Flags: Worlds of Adventure. It only runs on hot days when the train is running real quick.

If anyone has any comments or questions please post them. [i'll throw in a bonus update from BGW 2009]

Not on Grover! That's why it is the best!

My day began early with an hour drive to the America's Most Beautiful Park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I was there for eleven hours of fun and entertainment. Walk-ons to all coasters, rides and shows in the park created a fantastic day in the 'Burg.

The landscaper said, "I dream this 'stuff' up in my sleep" Did somebody say 'running of the bulls?' Celebrating 32 years of being awesome! "Who's ready to ride?" That station filled up quick, though it wouldn't stay that long. The Coaster Gods are here at Busch Gardens! Sheep are... [insert word on how they do nothing and are dumb as bricks...] This is a happy guy! This is a happier guy!

This season I will be visiting a few parks this season and will be bringing some epic pictures to this thread.

^^^Volcano has a new paint job so I suspect it won't be a smooth than normal. My last ride on a coaster ended my day prematurely. The Grizzly at Kings Dominion should be called The Mule, cause it kicks the $&*# out of you.

It looks like an Intamin to me. if you look closely at the transfer brakes you can see an Intamin style switch track. The only thing that I find curious is whats up with the the weird twists and turns out of the station... Maybe it launches out of the station...

Wow. I don't think that was intended to be leaked.

I found several mentions to Austrialia and New Zealand as well. I don't think this is for BGT. Aquatica sounds like a more feasable idea. I also found that a "Kangaloom" is a Kangaroo's watering hole.

^Yeah, Another rumor is that both BGT & BGW will be receiving Intamin Accelerator/Terra coasters...

I don't think It is the Anti-Rollbacks but more of a problem with the Red Train interacting with the roll-backs when its not suppose to. I rode Red and Silver yesterday and couldn't understand why the Red train was sporadically interacting the roll backs.

^I'm pretty sure the sign says May... At least that's what I think I heard it says... My wager is Memorial Day Weekend.

I have a 2-yr season pass to BGW. It a great deal. I actually plan on going to BGW on Friday!

that POV is so EPIC!!!

When I first saw this I was expecting some epic idea for a cross country adventure where somebody visits every roller coaster until he got to Kings Dominion. I'm a little tired and my mind is lucid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0AwSg1_50I This is a cool video.

"Ghetto" like Disney and Universal? They've been assigning seats for years. This doesn't bother me as long as it speeds up the line, which it apparently does. But that's a minor quibble. I think the rest of your review is on the money. 'Ghetto' as I meant it as a joke. I added a 'Just Kidding' In there for safe measure. But no, that assigned seating is the reason why the line was so quick.

The oh so Elusive KDcoasterMAN, bringing to you his ride review of INTIMIDATOR 305! I began my day with a long drive from the mountains of Appalachia to come to one place I wanted to be, Kings Dominion. Of course, like every time your in a rush, traffic intercedes. Delayed by over an hour by many places of Stop-N-Go traffic I finally found myself cresting the hill above The Meadows Park and viewing the beautiful Kings Dominion skyline. The familiar sights of Eiffel Tower, Dominator, Drop Tower and the New Intimidator 305 greeted me. At this point, I had not seen I305 make its run around the track in person and couldn't take my eyes off of the Goliath in the sky. I drove until the trees blocked my view, crossed the tracks and took in the sight of the park from the front. I entered the park and got a parking spot as close as I could. I then proceed to purchase my pass and entered through the front entrance. The first sight that I beheld was Dominator stuck midway up the lift hill. Disappointing. I began to "Speed-walk" my way over to my reason to visiting, I didn't want security on my tail for sprinting in glee. I passed under the Congo sign and sought with my eyes my the train cresting the lift-hill. I watched it slowly accelerate then disappear below the tree line. I'll admit it, my mouth fell open. It was unbelievable. I quickly made the last few hundred yards to the entrance in less than a minute and about half-sprinted into the partially full queue. I never looked at the Dale Earnhardt replica 1998 Monte Carlo or the "Photo Finish" gift shop. I had only one focus. I had a quick wait of 40 minutes then found that I would be "assigned" a row. I was like 'ghetto!' Just Kidding. Oh Well. I complied to my row 15 (last car) which did excite me about a very forceful ride! I was paired with a single rider named 'Jeff.' As we waited I asked him if he ridden today. He suddenly got all giddy and simply stated, "It's.. good, really good!" His smile explained that his emotion was wordless. I barely could keep my placid exterior together. Then, it was our turn! I had been waiting for this moment for months, many months! I took the right side of the train which Jeff said was 'more intense.' I sat down and pull the "highly controversial" restraint down and found it one of th most comfortable restraints I had ever used. The shoulder harnesses were soft like of those used on a B&M Looper. It had the one seat belt in the front which I buckled. First Ride, here I come! The ride operator flew through the check and did it perfectly, 'check,' tug, and pull! We were set to go. I heard the round of "Clear" and here the Booth operator's "All Clear" I readjusted myself out of nervousness and took a deep breath. "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines" rang across the station speakers... Here we go, my first 300-foot coaster! A firm tug and we were on our way! The first thing through my mind was, 'I knew It was fast, but holy cow!' We flew (metaphorically) up the lift hill. I had no more time. Time to race. The coaster reached its pinnacle and began its steep decent. We weren't pulled over the top, we were thrown. Airtime rock me out of my seat into a drop of oblivion. I began screaming for my life! What felt like a few minutes ended with the first turn. We had ascended and descended in about 18 seconds... The First turn is not describable nor comparable to any coaster on this planet. The best way I can put it is pulling out of a dive in a small aircraft. Your stomach is pulled to your feet and you start to get lightheaded. The turn continued for what seemed to be for a few second then we began to climb the second 150 foot tall Airtime monster! It brings you back to reality with the best sustained ejector air I have ever experienced. This is the first moment I really noticed the restraints impact they have on the ride. They held me in tight with no leeway. then we began to drop with more floater airtime like we had experienced on the first drop. The G's put us back down in our seats as we reach the bottom but we don't remain there. Intamin built a fun little thing I like to call "The Airtime Hump." This thing give a great lift of ejector airtime before throwing the riders into another g-ruled turn. This turn, though not comparable to the first turn, on its own could be a valuable asset to any ride. Through this turn is the rides first "Head chopper" which happens to be quite incredible. It made me put my hands down for a moment. Now for the most "disliked' part part of the ride. The first of the three S-Transitional Curves is easily one of the best parts of this ride. The Shoulder restraints first come into use in this element. For those who have not ridden, this S-Curves are similar to those used on Maverick @ Cedar Point. There is a difference though. These have a design advantage by giving the riders a split second of airtime while transitioning. This reduces the impact against the Over The Shoulder Restraints (OTSR) by dulling th G forces involved. This is where the ever famous word "Twisty" was coined by the famous Robb Alvey. He was right. The "Twistiness" is another great attribute of this ride. After the First S-Curves there is a sweep to the right then to the left, while going through another "head-chopper," then the rides second, least forceful S-Curve. After this S-Curves is the Third intense 180 degree turn. Its especially tight and gives off some great g's. The Ride then heads up the trimmed Third Hill. The trims though significantly slowing the ride, provides some especially great floater airtime. The coaster goes down a valley into another hill, which happens to turn to the right after the crest. The coaster leads itself into the third, final and most intense S-Curve. It needed the trim brake. The final act of this ride is a dive under the "air hump" then ascending, while twisting on to the steepest break run I have ever seen. We slowed to a slow crawl. I sat in my seat stunned. Intimidator is my new number one. I have been to Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Seaworld Orlando (pre-Manta), All WDW Parks, Hershey Park, Six Flags America, Dollywood, Kings Island (pre-Diamondback), Carowinds, and Six Flags Over Georgia. I have gotten 77 coaster credits in the past 5 years. I hope to pick up all 17 at CP soon and the other Intimidator which has sadly lost its spotlight. Though I have not been to Cedar Point nor ridden Bizarro at SFNE, I think I have 'enough' credentials to say that Intimidator is one of the best in America. I can give a promise while riding this beast. It will be one of the most intense rides of your life. This ends KDCM's excessively long review. I hope you enjoyed!

Maybe soon it will be OFF the land

Nice PhotoTR. i like the fact your camera makes this TR feel like its from the late 1990s. In a good way. P.S. Just pointing out, but It's Intimidator and not Intimadator and I305 doesn't have a helix. (If it did, It would be a Helix of Death that turned left and held you in until you screamed "Twisty!")
