Re: Pros and Cons between Our Inimidator and I-305

... #3 is 305. All of them handily spank SROS@SFNE, IMO. SO, my opinion: Intimidator, back seat coaster. 305, front seat coaster. Enough said. And oh, trim on the bunny hills sucks, but it was still fast and damned insane!

... pinned in, so I didn't get the full experience until later in the afternoon. To be perfectly honest, and I never thought I'd say this, but the trims on the first return-leg hill actually increases your airtime in the front, as the trim is halfway up the hill and, by slowing the train, begins ...

Don't "quote" me on this but I heard 305 is pulling between 5-6 Gs in that first turn. I pray they don't trim it, its good as it is.

You know what else they could do?

In-TRIM-idator 305 comes to mind.

I agree with you, Jonathan. If there was a place to blackout on After Burn, it would be in the batwing.

... corners. Then you get to the first 2 transitions and they are pretty rough I have to admit because of the restraints. I think if there was a small trim before this they would be alot better. After that you hit the last 2 airtime hills the first one has a strong trim. After a banked turn you hit ...

... I blacked out so long once I thought I was blind. I didn't ride once with out a blackout. The best part is the lift hill. It goes so fast. The trim is pretty strong. This is a front seat coaster and over all its a alright coaster. Tell kdfansite I asked a few other people from OTHER states ...

Intimidator was everything I was hoping for. Lot's of sustained floating airtime, speed and very little trim usage. At around 3pm, I was able to get 4 rides in less than an hour. Approx 12 minutes from the time I entered the que until I was sitting in the train. Hats off to ...

Just the standard inverted coaster. I do have Soakd and Wild installed. It does go through the batwing a bit quicker than I had intended, but the ratings are great so I didn't worry about it. Could put in a trim brake lol.

... goes thru before it heads up the hill.. We noted a "clicking" as it passed over the bottom of the valley....every time. Something like a trim or a speed sensor... It sounded similar to the MCBR but much shorter... http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k231/ARMYof1_01/Intimidator%20maiden%20voyage%20feb%204%202010/IMG_4622.jpg

Also, looks like they are putting more and more trim breaks on there. Went by today and saw 2 very easily and they were installing something on the track down by Afterburn.


Are you talking about the trims already on the coaster, or 2 additional?
