I like it much better than Skyrush but no way I305 is better than Toro;]

How on Earth anybody prefers I305 to Skyrush will forever be a mystery to me.

Although the usual complaint of tight restraints on Skyrush did detract from the ride a little, my main issue was the roughness. I don't know if it has always had this roughness, but it was very apparent when I rode it last year and particularly in the wing seats wasn't very pleasant.
Whereas I305 is extremely smooth, comfortable, very intense (although this is maybe the reason some don't like it) and the airtime was more enjoyable than on Skyrush for me. Plus the 'twisties' section of I305 was probably my favourite section of any coaster. Skyrush is a very good coaster and in my top 40, but for me, I305 is simply better.

^ Yeah I think most of us were done with the I305 ERT after like, a few rides. I find it hard to marathon rides like that. I305 just did a whole lot of nothing, but was unpleasantly intense in my opinion. Skyrush I actually wanted to ride over and over, and is in my top ten, so I pretty much can't agree that I thought it sucked, but I can see why some people would find it uncomfortable, especially with the restraint issues. It was tough on my thighs and I think I had bruises for the next couple of days, but I can imagine for guys (who have bigger thighs, usually) it would be even more unpleasant.

^Thats why I hate it so much is the painfulness on the thighs. I would like it much better it would probably be a top 10 coaster if it had better restraints. I305's would work.

I just don't see how anybody enjoys i305, it was so intense I thought my eyes were going to roll back into my head. So uncomfortable and does nothing with all that speed except take elements so fast that you don't even know which way is up. It's turd.

Quick Update following Nigloland and Walygator park
1 - Bizarro (SFNE) - Exceeded all my expectations back in 2012 - great coaster
2 - Skyrush - Phenomenal ride - There's nothing quite like the extreme airtime on this - loses slightly because it's just so intense though
2 - Colossos - The great ride on the denmark / Germany trip was backed up by a really good day there last year - consistent ride throughout, and just enough character to stop it being dull - I can't believe some people say it's too rough!
4 - Sliver Star - Back in 2012 it was running beautifully - Consistent air throughout the whole train, perhaps a little too "polite" for some, but just great fun and so rerideable
5 - Nemesis - Still awesome after 20+ years - just has the perfect combination of intensity, and those back seat rides..... '
6 - Shambhala - More about "speed" than airtime, and that ampersand turnaround is yummy!
7 - Piraten / Alpina Blitz - Can't separate the 2, so I'm gonna be controversial and call it a tie!
And now it gets a bit tricky
8 - Dominator - Difficult to put my finger on what I enjoyed so much about this (and actually, I may prefer superman at parc warner)
9 - Griffon - The extra elements just give this the edge over oblivion - although oblivion's actual drop is better
10 - Maverick Have decided this should edge out batman the ride - and it was close between this and helix, i think this just has a little more "punch" to it
