I was just thinking the same thing when I looked at the new pictures from Wormy above. One of the best parts of Apollo's Chariot in the back seat is the drop off the mid-course, and this one appears to be a good bit taller than that, so hopefully that will be a great moment on this coaster as well.

Have you guys ever noticed that they are making a box to fill with trees off to the side.

here is a image and where is the box? i see what looks to be the gift shop being constructed. it is located at the bottom of the pic in the center.

I bet they are hiding the all the new trims and trains in there.

The frozen lemonade guy at the park told me they are going to put magnetic trims halfway down the first drop ala "The Beast."

It must be truez!1!!1!!!!1!!1!!

I have to admit it really does look bigger in person. When I went to scarowinds this year only the first hill was done and it was huge. All night I would look up and see it staring right in my face. I guess it was well...
INTIMIDATING!

Ya the box is the gift shop in the animation it had trees in it

There are new construction pictures on the Intimidator webpage.

Sorry guys, had to do it...

I wonder if they will add some cool lighting effects at night kinda like Behemoth's lift hill lights...

Should we call this a 2/3 Course Brake?

It sure isn't "mid"course.

Get me a train on this thing, they can just do a hard stop now at the midcourse!

thanks for the update Wormy!

Looks like we could have a Diving Spiral by weeks end.

Thanks again Wormy!

I'm gonna have to get down there and see this thing in person soon. I know how much bigger the lift hill looked "live" in mid-October, so I can only imagine how the ride looks now with so much more of it done.

It's still somewhat hard to believe that a bit over a year ago there was a log flume there, and at the start of this season there was a big pile o' crap. Now there's a whole lotta hypercoaster sitting there.

Haha, I thought the same thing after seeing the layout. I would even go as far as saying a 4/5th's course brake run. I still can't help but think there will be some water feature right next to the ride.

Here's to hoping for a great flat in that grass area between the queue and Gauntlet. How bout a giant frisbee...I'd take that.

P.S. If anyone knows how to get rid of hiccups - the ones that keep you up until 3a.m. in the morning - please, for the love of God, let me know. Really.
