Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion
A steel roller coaster called Intimidator 305 can be found in Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, in the United States. The park's fourteenth roller coaster, Intimidator 305, built by Intamin, debuted to the public on April 2, 2010. It is situated where the Safari Monorail attraction had stood in the park's Jungle X-Pedition area, next to Anaconda. It is the second Giga Coaster to be built in North America, after Millennium Force at Cedar Point, standing at 305 feet (93 m) tall and going up to 90 mph (145 km/h). The highest ride investment in park history was a $25 million one. The coaster, which has a racing theme, is named for late NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt, also known as "The Intimidator".
The initial drop on Intimidator 305 is 300 feet (91 meters), with a maximum fall angle of 85 degrees. Only two primary points of support are used at the top of the hill in its distinctive lift hill configuration. The observation deck of the park's highest building, the Eiffel Tower attraction, is taller than its entire height as well. The first turn of Intimidator 305 received extensive renovation after the ride's first running season in order to lessen the amount of greyouts and blackouts that riders were experiencing. Intimidator 305, another ride at Cedar Point, has been compared to both Maverick and Millennium Force. The ride was specifically developed by Intamin to have a steep lift hill like Millennium Force. Low-to-the-ground, tight bends and slopes, such to those in Maverick, follow the lift hill.
