This seriously might be one of the coolest looking coasters ever. It looks great so far and I hope I get a shot to ride it next year. That picture looks amazing though.

^^^ Imagine riding it like that!

Kingda Ka was amazing in the fog. Could not see anything!

That pic is AMAZING. Can't wait to ride

We all know Cedar Fair's rain policy - sprinkle = shutdown, but do they have a fog policy. That would be way too cool to ride in a dense fog like that!!

I think I305 topping off is TPR front page worthy because this ride is looking really sexy. ;]

[HCLcoasters 0]

I 305 is probably the sickest looking ride on the planet! I'm proud to have it at my home park.

[pkdcoaster 2]

Had to go see it for myself.

Here are some pics I took today.

 

What an Awesome sight.

 

Enjoy, JEFF

Thats tiny Anaconda at the bottom of the pic (ANA is 128ft)

Words can't describe that first picture.

Awesome pictures. I loved the picture with both Dominator and Intimidator. Just makes me love Cedar Fair even more. I am thinking about going down to KD tomorrow myself to check it out. I cannot wait until April.

Look how behemoth I305 is! Especially compared to Anaconda!

It dwarfs Anaconda, and Anaconda is quite tall itself. That picture looks surreal, I cannot wait to actually get my first ride on I305!

It's funny, from certain angles at first glance it actually doesn't look that big because of the way the lift is constructed. The truss system looks like normal Intamin track and the lack of supports adds to the effect of it not looking that tall until you look at the surroundings to give it a sense of scale and you realize just how massive it is. That lift is going to be by far the most impressive part of this coaster once the temporary support is removed. It just looks like it's ready to fall over in the slightest breeze lol.

I have said it once, and I'll say it until we get one....the west coast needs one of these behemoths, badly. Any 300' plus coaster, just one. Until then, I can't wait until I finally get a taste of what I have been missing out on all these years when I go this upcoming May to Ohio.

 

By the way, this coaster looks beautiful.

A shame that drop leads into a corner.

[dcxs 1]

Yup "I KNOW, lets have the tallest drop in the world and then do..... A TURN OMFG" they should have done a airtime hill of epic proportions, with OTSR they it could have massive airtime!

[pkdcoaster 2]

I disagree, The feeling of speed is going to be Awesome at the bottom. I am glad it does what it does. There will be air on the 2nd hill anyway.

That turn is going to epic. You are easily going to see a few black outs going through the turn into a nice 150 ft foot airtime hill. I'd rather have the turn then just having a hill.

[rollin_n_coastin 0]

Fantastic pics! Thanks for posting those. It's so strange seeing nothing really holding up the hill when compared to MF.

 

That first turn up into the hill will be gray out central but amazing!

[Ed 0]

The feeling of your head hitting the OTSR is going to be amazing too. That turn better be glass smooth or else, ouch..

[HCLcoasters 0]

The transition into the turn looks really gradual actually.

[Devious 0]

As discussed before, it's probably going to be using Tornado-esque lapbars with the seatbelt-style OTSR if it even has one

 

And it's intamin, when have they built something that ISNT glass smooth?

Seconded. Maverick's pull out was really cool, and it usually makes me black out! I'm sure this will be very similar.

[yankees15 1]

That first drop just look awesome! I really think the ride is going to look so much larger in person than it does in these photos though. I want to see how that second hill will look now.
