greenspandan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Man, I really need to get down there this summer and ride this bad boy! I've never been to KD, and I'm very curious to see how I-305 stacks up for me, especially against my current #1 steel (Millennium Force). I've been drooling over I-305 ever since those awesome pics and videos poured in last summer!! TWISTY! i305 is the goateed, evil, mirror universe twin of Millennium Force. i305 is Millennium Force with a bad case of PMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm really not sure which I like better. I'm leaning towards MF but that's because I've ridden it only 3 or 4 times so it was considered a special ride, and i305 I've ridden upwards of 30 times and it's not as special each individual time because I've ridden it so much.... It's the same with Maverick and i305, I just can't decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastermaniac Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Even though I never got a chance to ride I-305 last year, I'm sure it'll be better this year without the trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Today is the last day to vote for I-305. We really want to see Kings Dominion WIN this! Everyone please...post this to your Twitter and your Facebook NOW! I want to see lots of tweets and FB posts: Last day to vote for Intimidator 305 - Best new coaster of 2010! Everyone, go vote now! http://tinyurl.com/4ayq5z4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Is there any reason this poll seems so heated? Screamscape, ace, tpr, and others are pushing for one result of the other (pretty much all for the carowinds version, save TPR. Are the results expected to have big returns for the park?

PKI Jizzman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 This poll is purely about which coaster website is the coolest. Replace Big Red with I305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider-x Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Robb, All those comments about TPR on the poll only serve to bring more people into this site. I guess you as an enthusist are not allowed to vote for anything once you open a website lest you be called biased and a rigger of web polls. I used to get all up in arms when I read someone write negatively about TPR but then I settled on the fact that the many outweigh the few. Those people who constantly have nothing but hate need to stay away from here to begin with and I for one am glad that the moderators do a good job of seeing that that happens.

jedimaster1227 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) ^^Are you telling me to chew I305? Having not ridden (either) Intimidator yet, I can't place my opinion on either, but I think it is great that both coasters are receiving as much support as they are... Not that an internet poll is the deciding factor when it comes to building new coasters, but having such positive reception surrounding such major investments certainly can't hurt when it comes to other parks considering taking a leap of faith into the larger coaster ballpark.

I agree and appreciate with your sentiments, but you have to think about it this way... Nothing that the TPR Haters have ever said or done has ever affected us in any way at all. So let them hate.

PAL Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Don't blame me, I voted for Sky Rocket. (For those unfamiliar with dry humor, that's a joke) I didn't ride 242. 305 was the best new coaster I experienced last year, although Sky Rocket was pretty sweet. That little launcher is a great fit for that park. It could use a little more notoriety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Come on TPR! Let's show all those TPR haters who is boss and VOTE for Intimidator 305. I've voted from my iTouch, laptop, computer, and cell phone... We need to win this!

KDCOASTERFAN Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We're only 1% behind now! Keep voting! I can't believe I just read through two whole pages of this rather stupid crap....who cares about a stupid poll? it's not gonna impact either park one way or the other as people will primarily "vote" in favor of whichever ride is closest to them.

coasterfreak101 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I305 is ahead by 100 votes! This poll only matters to me because I couldn't stand to see a B&M hyper win over I305. Or really any Intamin I've ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I voted for I-305 even though I never rode any of the other coasters on the list. In seeing the reviews for all of the other coasters on TPR though, I actually can't see anything (except perhaps the smaller Intimidator) as really even coming close to the thrill of I-305. The other coasters look fun, but I'll probably never get on Battlestar Galactica or Formula Rossa. Sky Rocket also looks very fun, but not in the same league of fun as a giga or hyper. I plan on going to Carowinds this summer to ride Intimidator, so perhaps I might change my view on my vote then, but I kinda doubt it. I can't really say that I see where the Carolina Intimidator as being much better than Nitro, Behemoth or Apollo's Chariot. Don't get me wrong though...I LOVE all B&M floorless coasters and I'm sure I'll love this one too! But I-305 is not the same as Millenium Force and I applaud KD & Intamin for taking the risk of building a giga with a different layout - even if there are/were modifications along the way.

deweasefan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just voted again. I305 up 263 votes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpmill1 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This poll is purely about which coaster website is the coolest. Replace Big Red with I305. Replace chew with like/vote for. Big Red would have been a much better name for 305. Carowinds has Thunder Road (moon shining/Nascar) Intimidatator is a perfect fit. Kings Dominion had a triple crown winning horse grow up within spitting distance of where the park is now . I think VA should honer it's own! No disrespect to "Earnhart"(As if that hard right turn that has been a major problem from the beginning wasn't enough,But he died making a hard right turn!!!! ) But Secretariat grew up in our backyard!
