Let me just say that this blew my expectations away. I had convinced myself we were getting a 199' foot 2-train hyper prior today, and we end up with the tallest B&M in North America with 3-trains!!!

Very awesome, can't wait to ride that beast.

Well it's taller then Diamondback and Behemoth both at 230 haha not much difference. Plus our looks to be themed better well

It got cancelled. Look, no parking lot underneath the coaster. Taller and longer than Diamondback.

Diamondback has longer first drop, faster speed, more drops, taller second drop, shorter third drop, but following drops are taller, more pph, hammer head, splashdown, more broing layout.

Intimidator is taller, taller second drop, sweet second drop, cool dive sprial, no splashdown (but, when does Nascar run is the rain).

But, Intimidator has a MUCH cooler layout, plus the themeing is cool. This is not a typical B&M hyper. Plus, the trains look really cool.
