Just wanted to post a little something about my trip to Kings Dominion and some of the rides namely the Intimidator305 and the Dominator. Let’s start with the lesser of the two, at least in my opinion. The Dominator is a rather nice ride as it whips you all around I am including the info from rcdb.com for your information, it is a very exciting ride and has a lot of corkscrews and loops and is quite a nice ride.
Dominator: Length:4210′ Height:157′ Drop:148′ Inversions:5 Speed:65 mph Max Vertical Angle:57 Degrees G-Force:3.8 Elements:135′ tall Loop Cobra Roll Interlocking Corkscrews Trains:3 trains with 8 cars per train. Riders are arranged 4 across in a single row for a total of 32 riders per train.
The next coaster I want to mention is the Intimidator305, this thing is AWESOME, I had heard a little about it from the site but hadn’t ridden it yet, I thought it was a magnet launch or even a gas launcher like the old HypersonicXLC, which I was quite sad to see go by the way, and was quite surprised when I sat down in the second seat and saw the cable coming down from the hill waiting to hook up, but when it engaged and started I was very pleasantly surprised, the thing HAULS! It climbs to the max height of 305′ very quickly and smoothly. and once you reach the apex, all bets are off, this ride moves and fast, hitting 90 mph at the max and with nice banking turns and some corkscrews and an almost 90 degree vertical drop, it is amazing and I recommend it for anyone that loves to ride roller coasters!
Length:5100′ Height:305′ Drop:300′ Inversions:0 Speed:90 mph Duration:3:00 Max Vertical Angle:85 Degrees Trains:2 trains with 8 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 32 riders per train.
Have fun!
