Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion Giga coaster

Although they haven't posted an update on the main site recently, you can see from the webcam that they've put up a bunch of smaller supports all around the site. When they finally get to laying track there, it should fly up faster then the Carowinds one. It was hard to tell, but I think they lifted the first piece of lift track today at the very top of the first drop. Soon, you should see the smaller lift support start to rise.
 
Yeah because these are only the really high parts of the coaster, and everything else is low to the ground, so it'll probably be put up a lot faster like the Carowinds one.
 
^^Many of those low-to-the-ground support sections you're referring to were put up before they even started on the lift hill.

Webcam's back. They definitely added a section of big red support/track to the top of the first drop. The crane on the right also grew since yesterday.
:eek:

Nah, they moved it to start working on the other support.
(Finally.)
 
A quick link to some pictures anyone? I'm not going to trawl back through the last 40 pages and I have neither the time nor inclination to sit through any of those incredibly boring, 8-minute+ construction videos. Thanks!
 
Luckily KD added the 305.. so there can be some distinction between the two.

It still does bother me that they couldn't get another name.. maybe of another famous Nascar driver?
 
The names for the coasters I did think were a bit 'Six Flags', in the sense that the two rides are mucho different, yet have similar names. Oh well, the layout for this coaster kicks ass, but I'm not sure which one I personally prefer. I think this one will be more insane.
 
^No doubt. The newer B&M Hypers seem to be getting better and better.. but this seems very MF like.. which can go two ways.. Epic or trash.

Lets hope it delivers.

Thank you KDFansite.
 
That is massive...like what's in Marcus' pants!

:wink:

That makes me want to see some more angles of the drop. I also can't wait until the lift gets topped. It looks awesome as is now, but just wait until it's complete!
 
I know what I'm doing.

Another site I frequent has one combined thread for both Intimidator coasters.

facepalm

(I did it again.)
 
As promised in the blog, they moved the webcam today.

Now it's up on top of Drop Zone. It's a really nice angle now and gives a great look as to just how steep that lift and drop is. It's all very impressive looking. Lots of those little supports are up, so it won't be too long to see it all come together. They have a temporary support on the lift right now, so I guess once it's resting on the two main supports, they'll remove that... unless it's been a design change.

Either way, looking very nice.
