They probably designed it after they picked. But yea, The plot of land would suck for a giga at carowinds anyway.



Oh wait, They couldn't have been able to make the choice, there is that pesky BGE contract about the B&M's :lol:
(FYI, I don't belive that there is/was ever a contract)

I second that.


Are y'all being sarcastic or for serious?

I'm serious, I'm liking the possibilities of Intimidator 232 compared to 305. I'm not trying to start anything against theirs. I may even try to get up there at some point if I can and ride it.

I was going to say that, but it just wasn't going to sound good.

I would take Carowinds Intimidator over Kings Dominion without hesitation. On paper, at least. We'll see what I think once I ride both. I like the comfort and openness of the B&M trains so much more than the Intamin ones, and I am more interested in airtime than speed and turns (although I-305 should have at least a few moments of great airtime).

Also, to ask when they were begin their full testin...Our Intimidator has been test for a month now...and still are, Kings Dominion opens the first Friday of April, which is now less then one month...Is I-305 going to be able to be open on openning day? Cause my opinion is, they don't have time...Not unless they pull some long night testing...
#38373
They've scheduled media day for April 1. I'm sure if everything is a go on the coaster and all they need to do is test, they'll do it. Coasters run in the dark all the time.

I don't think the problem is opening the coaster, but how long it will stay open before adding extra supports or taking out the heartline roll...or waiting for another cable lift to arrive.

Hate Intamin a lil too much there bruh? lol. I thought Vekoma was the one that makes coaster enthusiasts throw up a lil in their mouths just at the mention of the name.
