Takes the circuit quite quick.
 
I'm kind of surprised to see how fast the ride is moving for one of the first test runs. Plus, it's February, so it isn't exactly warm down there.

I also like the hammerhead. It looks very interesting, and judging by Behemoth and Diamondback, it will pull some nice forces. One of the things I like about these three sister coasters is the fact that they all feature hammerheads, but each one is unique. Behemoth's is very skinny and the entrance and exit are parallel. Diamondback's crosses, but the entrance and exit aren't parallel to eachother. This crosses, but the entrance and exit are parallel. It adds a bit of variety to the ride.
 
^I don't know what you're going off of, but that is definitely not crawling. Without trims, that thing is flying.

Once trims turn on though...
 
I dunno, I thought Diamondback AND Behemoth both looked pretty slow, but then I rode them and I loved them, and both of them ended up in my top ten.. I doubt this will be an exception.
 
Here we go again.

I'll agree with Kevin. For a B&M hyper coaster, this ride is very fast paced. I'm sorry that it isn't Bizarro, but take it for what it is. We're comparing this ride to Diamondback and Behemoth, rides that most of us have been on and coasters that are most similar to this. Yet it seems like UC is comparing this to Nitro, which lacks quite a bit in comparison. We have already established that B&M doesn't make insane hyper coasters like Intamin, so why expect anything great?

On another note, Since this is testing, the other Intimidator can't be too far behind. Hopefully we'll see it testing soon as well.
 
Also, I think it should be reminded that this is a massive ride. The second hill is almost 180 feet high and the third hill is over 150 feet high. It's naturally going to look slower because of the size. The train has to travel a further distance over the hills than something like Kawasemi.
 
I agree that it looks kind of sluggish, but I've thought the same thing about the other hypercoasters I've been on before I rode them. They definitely didn't feel slow, so I'll give this the benefit of the doubt for now.

You saw it without trims. Now you can see it with trims. You can hear them if you turn you volume real loud and allow for the sound delay in the very last clip. The MCBR really seems to grab it hard. The first trim seems to have a little bite. The second seems quite hard on. Just going by the sound.
 
There were three on, but they started transfering the 3rd over a few mins after the link was posted :D
