Biggest, Baddest, and Meanest: Meet the Intimidator 305

Giga-coaster: Noun- a complete-circuit roller coaster with a height of 300 feet or taller

Think you can handle a giga-coaster? How about the Intimidator 305? Yes you are correct if you think this coaster is named after the late and great Dale Earnhardt.



The Intimidator 305 can be found at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. This is only the second giga-coaster ever built in North America, and it is the fastest and tallest coaster on the East Coast. The highest peak is 305 feet tall where the lift hill meets an 85 degree angle drop and speeds along the tracks clocking about 90 mph! The length of the ride equals approximately 3 minutes. Probably the best (or worst) 3 minutes of your life... depending on how much of a thrill seeker you are.

The ride opened in April of this year. So, if you're anywhere in the Virginia area, or surrounding states, and you absolutely love roller coasters, i think this is one coaster you NEED to ride.
