In case anyone hasn't heard Hurler is not opening until mid-May (my guess is for some track work). But, what I can't understand is why Shockwave is closed until the 17th.

LMAO! That picture is soooo funny. I love how Robb is proposing to Elissa(who is floating thanks to the removal of the support) on a deserted island.

I was looking at the Intimidator 305 website, they seem excited about the opening - not!

Who's this Robb guy who will be coming, not Robb Reiner the drummer from Anvil?

Pagel just confirmed that Intimidator 305 is the second fastest gravity coaster in the world behind Steel Dragon and ahead of Millennium Force.

I have been told that this coaster has the most sustained positive G's that Robb has ever experienced on a coaster! Pretty crazy!

We'll have lots more details tonight!

^Interesting, but not surprising. I never doubted this coaster would be intense.

Definitely looking forward to the review.
