      @@datNiggaDebo954 lol I understand, they're not for everybody. The "big brother" I mention is none other than the world-renowned Fury 325. It's over 100 ft taller and quite a bit faster than Intimadator. Give it a watch, the ride is amazing! You can see Fury 325s lift hill miles away- it's that tall!!

    The Intimidator is so fun. It may not be as tall or as fast as the fury, but it has a LOT more weightless air time because of all the drops, and its also way smoother. I rode the fury and felt physically beat up a bit from its G-forces, but the Intimidator feels like flying and I found it more fun, I rode it again and again.

      Back, this was my first ever coaster. The first time I stuck to my seat and didn’t really get any airtime. When I went back on it, I got the back again and the airtime is insane! Not as good as Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, which is my favorite ride for airtime.

      @@EastCoasters I think this roller coaster is in the same category as Nitro in that it's overhated in the coaster community. Like Nitro, it seems to be temperamental. The trims on Intimidator can make or break your ride, just like the temperature and speed trains are running can make or break your ride on Nitro. I also think it has something to do with Fury 325 being in the same park, just like how Nitro is in the same park as El Toro. In any other park, the B&M hyper would be the headlining attraction, but both Carowinds and Great Adventure have coasters that are better.
