- Standing 305 feet (93m) tall and reaching speeds up to 94 mph (151 km/h) after that first 85° drop, this Intamin giga coaster features a unique layout with lots of low twists and turns that don't quite match it's former NASCAR theme. But then, who wants to keep making left hand turns on a roller coaster?
Check out the off-ride POV video we posted to see more of what this thrilling coaster looks like: • Intimidator 305 off-ri...

Just rode it for the first time yesterday, It was unbelievable. This is a great POV, but no video can truly capture the insane sense of speed on those turns.
Congrats on the outstanding new credit. 👏 😀
Sucks you will never get the chance to ride the late but legendary Volcano… 😢
@@tigerrocks503chase8 it's unfortunate, I hope they end up bringing it back. It just got too costly to maintain, those Intamin launch coasters
Down 77 lbs just to ride this. Velocicoaster was great. This will be better.
Deadass
Just rode it 13 times today... And I'm exhausted
Nothing can prepare you for that first drop and turn. All of us had the same experience. Vision started to go a little sensation of nearing passing out. It's incredible.
Yup! I had that experience 2 days ago riding it. I rode a lot of roller coasters ( season passholder at Hersheypark) but that ride had me lose my vision after the first turn. After getting off, I panic a little bit too. Too intense for me.
broooo i rode it yesterday and yes after the initial drop, half of my vision started to blur out as if I had an iron deficiency. I didn’t fully black out and i was fine after a second
@@zlikez A sign that someone blacked out is lost vision. We blacked out. lol It was a couple seconds for me. That ride's drop is my favorite compared to other roller coasters I have been on.
@@peacehappyb237 gotcha, yeah this was like my first time every going to an amusement park and the intimidator was like the 4th ride i got on. I cant imagine how i wouldve been if it were my first ride LOL
@@zlikez lol
Was just at Kings Dominion 2 days ago. I rode in the back car for the first time and the airtime I got going over the drop was amazing. This ride overall is just phenomenal. Such a fast and intense experience.
The intensity of that first turn is also absolutely bonkers
@Theo Dora it is! You're up at the top in no time
@@brandonfulcomer1266 I agree! You definitely get some great ejector
Best roller coaster in my opinion
You know, the back row is great, but the front row is nothing to scoff at, just looking at the track literally blurring as you speed through the course, the intense wind in your face, and the fact that you're being pushed over the hills is amazing
This might be the most underappreciated coaster I've ever been on. All the love goes to millenoum force and intimidator gets oft-ignored or derided for the G's. This thing rocks.
Because not many people want to black out on coasters
@@JJJJ-he8bz makes it pretty damn epic imo
They're both amazing coasters, just for different reasons.
Millennial force is just better.
@@makaveli3189 Depends on if you favor intensity and speed or airtime and overall smoother experience. Personally, I like i305 better than Millennium.
One of the most intense coasters out there. Love it.
That’s the truth. I flew outta my seat several times when I rode it the last time I was in Virginia.
I remember riding this beast when it was first built.. when i say she use to haul major ass. But not since the modification it is slightly slower and the trim breaks slow it down even more now. Still a great ride but no where near as awesome as it was when it FIRST opened.
Skyrush comes in at a very close second to intensity
Skyrush won’t cause you to black out like i305, but it will feel like your body is going to be torn apart from the airtime
@@vegrl I can say I’ve never been in pain riding I305. Skyrush is another story.
This was my first rollercoaster ever, my friends peer pressured me into riding it because I didn't want to be lame. I literally felt like I was disintegrating.
What an insane ride to be your first coaster
LMAO you rode literally the most intense ride on earth as your first, you can now ride anything!
No way...I don’t believe you. This ride is way too much to start off with.
@@raingirlcat2245 I swear to god, I was with a new friend and his girlfriend, and I didn't want to be a sourpuss and say that I was afraid of rollercoasters/had never ridden one. I had no idea about G forces or anything like that, all I saw was that there was one super freaky drop initially and the rest looked like it was closer to the ground, so I thought I could manage it. What's funny is I didn't gray out on the first sharp turn at the bottom because I was hyperventilating so much and my brain was fully supplied with oxygen, my friends both grayed out. The rest of the ride was intense, but I was much less scared because we weren't so high up. I just remember being whipped around from side to side after the initial drop. I have never ridden another rollercoaster since and don't plan to.
@@GbawlZ this gave me such a chuckle. Absolutely bonkers beyond belief your first ever rollercoaster ride is i305 of all things. Been waiting a long time to get a ride on this due to living in the UK, one day though. It will happen 🤞🏻
This is possibly my favorite roller coaster of all time. It’s so intense and so fast paced, relentless all the way through.
I carried my daughter and her friend to Kings Dominion for her birthday. They weren't big enough to ride the big coasters, so I only rode the intimidator so they wouldn't be waiting on me all day. YES, that first turn had me seeing spots and my face was tingling, I almost got put to sleep. Almost. After my ride, I told my wife, we're gonna find some air-conditioning and eat, I didn't care how much it was gonna cost at this point, because my ass was done in. Being a little over 40, this thing kicked my butt. Videos of this coaster in no way compare to the experience. And I rode it after it was modified to pull less g's in the first turn. I've rode roller coasters all over the east coast in the US and this one is the only one I have no desire to get back on, mostly due to being older and it takes me longer to get all my blood flowing back correctly to my extremities, I used to could ride back to back all day. But after this ride, I wasn't the same. The wife and kids were laughing at me because I couldn't walk straight and was sweating profusely. Thrill factor 10 of 10. If only I was 20 again, I'd have a seat reserved for me.
I rode it back when it had the original turn and was like 12 years old and somehow didnt grey out but i went again a couple years later after they changed the turn and greyed out. Weird.
I’m 42 and I rode it 20 times in a row last week. Greyed out every single time too. 😂
This ride is no joke. Almost 5 Gs of force on the first turn, one of my favorite rides. Damn near blacked out on that first turn, wasn't expecting that lol. Someone behind me blacked out and didn't wake up til after the ride was over lmao
Edit. So many people were blacking out during the ride that they actually adjusted the first turn shortly after the ride opened. It's not as intense as it originally was (trust me it was intense), but it's still a hell of a ride.
Lol imagine waiting in line for so long, and then your body forces you to go to sleep after the first turn 😂
That’s why chickens shouldn’t go on the ride it’s not for the weak!
@@realproperty1012 i haven’t rode this yet , because every time I go it’s closed !! But that’s my only concern is blacking out 😂 never have before but it doesn’t sound fun
Nooooooo I want the kind of intense you described!!!!!!
@@Wolf_Tycoonsthere is usually 0 line for this ride lol
Wowww it's awesome to see a not-ancient POV of this beast! Fabulously captured.
Yeah, better to see its newly profiled version. The ancient versions were when the turn actively caused blackouts each time
in the line for it right now. I can't wait to get on!
Update: Amazing ride but I think I pissed myself
💀
I guess it’s safe to say that you got…..
Intimidated. I’ll see myself out.
LMAOKDJ
Did you get on yet? That line is so long lmao
@@jarrettbattle9295 dude- 😭 good one tho
I've been on hundreds of coasters, I think this is the most intense, insane, unbelievable coaster. It's hard to believe they made this beast, and I'm glad it exists.
💯 percent agreed!!! One of the sickest coasters everrrr...I'll never forget it❤
I rode this monster for the first time at night, and let me tell you - it was quite an experience. Love this coaster
Yes, it is.
Rode this yesterday for the first time and it blew my mind. It was absolutely hauling. Made Skyrush, which I had ridden the day before, seem like a kiddie coaster. The first airtime hill felt just as strong as Skyrushs. Was graying out everywhere felt like my head was going to get ripped off on the transitions. Can completely understand the OTSRs now, there'd be serious injuries without them. An absolute masterpiece
This coaster is truly SO ridiculously intense, and honestly I've been on a LOT of fast and high drop coasters including fury at carowinds and this one still has it beat imo. Bet you'll black out on it too 😂
I love a ride that gets straight to the point!
Probably the most intense coaster of all time (I always grey out first turn after drop)
I rode it for the first time today - grey out for me too in the first turn - it was wild
The trick to not greying out is hyperventilating and oversupplying your brain with oxygen, haha.
Same
The most intense coaster is x2
Go watch a video of a fighter jet plane pilot, teaching people to not grey out.. I guarantee you would never grey out if you use this method on this coaster.
Damm, I haven’t seen a new POV of this until now. The trees have grown loads and it desperately needs a repaint.
@coasterdash 😂
Came to say the same thing. Hopefully gets some TLC soon
Oh wow i just realized i’ve never seen a semi-recent pov of i305, it literally looks the same color as accelerator
@CoasterDash
Sorry if I’m correcting you but it’s Xcelerator
I just don’t wanna sound toxic
@@trimlesscoasters exselerater
@@mynameiskrysta 😂 eksaleratohr
No it doesn’t it’s a light red but not a pink
@@crudkip4326 the worn out red more looks like orange to me, and in sunlight xcelerator DOES look orange
I am no stranger to roller coasters. But this one right here, Whew! This is the only roller coaster where I passed out while ON the ride.
Je ne comprends pas...pourtant ceux qui ont des loopings ont l'air bien pire non !
@@mylenazvezta8486 Honestly the size of this thing alone makes it pretty scary looking lol. It's so big it almost looks fake in some photos
It hauls through its course better than anything I’ve ever ridden. Truly my favorite coaster
First coaster I ever rode. Rode it 6 times in the 2 days I was there, woulda been more but the wheels wore down per usual, I LOVED IT!!!!
I rode this for the first time last weekend, the last Giga I needed to ride in North America and I can comfortably say I've saved the best for last. I love Fury 325... but jesus this ride is so awesome. I love the absolute balls of this ride, every other Giga Coaster holds your hand, has very graceful elements, meanwhile I305 just literally wants to murder you and I LOVE that! It really is Millennium Force plus Maverick! The transitions are whippy but feel smooth and natural, the turns are so good and I grey out every single time, it's one of the most intense roller coasters I've ever ridden and I'm so thankful I got to ride it.
Looking forward to riding this in a few years! Dude, keep riding coasters! You are the guy that inspired me to create my channel so keep up the good work!!
Rode it 23 times Easter Sunday of opening weekend before it was slowed down. Nearly blacked out every single time and kept coming back for me. Love it.
23?!?! DAMN
Don’t be scared, I just rode it after being super terrified and I’m telling you right now. This is more fun than scary 100%. This is not that bad when it come to fear, once you do it you’re having so much fun and you’re so proud of yourself.
i’m trusting u lol
As soon as you crest the top of the first drop the fear turns into excitement then you realize you shouldve been more scared of the turn 😂 but fr its amazing
Did you black out like everyone is saying?
@@Jayden_Moses its weird i didnt black out the first time i rode it when it had the original turn which was more intense, but a few years later i rode it after they changed the turn and started greying out. It was still awesome though lol
@@Jayden_Moses nah i didnt
Absolutely insane, you physically can’t see for the first half of the ride.
I can't tell you how many times I've watched a POV of this ride... It's killing me! I cant wait to grey out on that first bend! Unfortunately kings dominion is so far! :(
Oh wow! What an absolutely beautiful cloudless blue sky you had for filming that day! Oh yeah, and there was a rollercoaster in the video, that was cool too.
Drove all the way from Oklahoma 2 years after this opened to ride this bad boy. Rode it three times in the front seat and twice in the back. That first drop is no joke. I greyed out on that turn after the first drop and felt like I was going to pass out for a few seconds. No other coaster that I've rode has ever done this. Crazy!
This coaster is the bomb!!! I rode it for the first time yesterday, and immediately came back today and rode it some more. I ended up riding it seven times lol. Yes, I greyed out on the first turn every single time. This coaster definitely throws you around, but it is so intense and fun. Absolutely worth the 12 hour drive!!! :]
Bro you have to I rode that mf in the front row and I nearly passed out my vision was totally gone like completely black and my face was tingling after the only issue I have with this ride is not being able to ride it over and over again because it's simply to intense to do so I can only ride it twice in a row before i need a break
This is literally the reason why I come back to this park. That first drop never gets old
Wow. The speed after the first drop and then right away that insane banked over corner. That must feel insane.
"Giga Roller Coaster 1 looks too intense for me!" "Just looking at Giga Roller Coaster 1 makes me sick."
I’ve ridden and loved roller coasters my whole life, Rode i305 yesterday and still haven’t physically recovered, nothing could prepare me for this beast.
I love the quick climb. Don't let my anxiety build up, just rip out my heart lol
Lol
It’s a 305’ band aid, yank that mf-er off of there!🤘
Still my all time favorite! Partially black out hitting that first turn at the bottom. Amazing coaster, one of a kind.
I rode this the year it came out...and when I tell you it was the first time ever blacking out on a coaster it was the first, broke my heart that I don't remember the majority of it. I remember coming to 3 different times during the ride and the last time I woke up was right before the ride was over.
Rode this for the first time the other day…first trip to King’s Dominion and I305 did not disappoint. Ended up getting 4 night rides on it. Dropping 300 feet into the pitch black forest was incredible. Top-tier coaster.
Fr the only problem I have with this ride is not being able to marathon in due to it being so Intense after to rides in a row I need a break
I rode this yesterday and it was absolutely insane. Wouldn’t ride it again lol, but glad I can say I did. It’s insanely fast and that first drop is crazy. Somewhere along the way my vision started going black for like a second.
Same. Rode it 2 days ago and won't ride again even though I love roller coasters. Didn't like losing my vision after the first turn. My vision turned white.
@@peacehappyb237Man people really be hatin on the part that 13 year old me craved and I was screaming at my mom to take me back
Just marathoned it for 2023. I don’t know what they did, but this thing is running better than ever, and somehow the airtime is actually strong. Still my favorite coaster to date.
More Kings Dominion POVs! Twisted Timbers, Flight of Fear, and Drop Tower.
No video can do justice to how quickly that ride brings you up to the first drop
I remember riding the Intimidator 305 back in 2008 with my aunt. No one wanted to go on the ride with her but me 😆 I was 10 or 11 years old at the time. The initial drop into those corners was insane.
It was made in 2010
I rode this a few weeks ago for the first time and the video is great but in person this coaster is QUICK. It definitely will catch you off guard.
Thank you for this great footage, coasterforce is best!
i always forgot about how massive the drop is because its just known universally for the intensity
Man I rode on this front seat. By the time you come down and hit that loop, I done blacked out for 2 seconds 🤣 best roller coaster I’ve been on yet
I've read comments from people who have reviewed this coaster, but this is the first POV that I ever watched. I was surprised to see no cobra rolls or inversions. Still looks like a lot of fun!
This ride does something to you, I can’t explain it but it’s probably the best coaster I’ve been on.
I feel butterflies in my chest and stomach just watching this ride! I want to go!
Went on this today. New favorite ride!
i swear that first turn/hop my vision starts to black out from the g-force lol never gets old
The: “GENTLEMAN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!!!” Just puts ,e right in the front seat to 305
This one was 100% built for the enthusiasts. Some very intense and sustained Gs. What a thrill!
great ride! best kiddy coaster i have ridden
This POV nor any other can do this ride justice. We go every other week and this ride is the best hands down....hands down!
It is definitely in need of a paint touch up lol
Brings back bad memories of the time I rode this, was halfway up the lift hill and realized I didn't secure my phone. I reached down to find my phone nearly halfway out of my pocket. I grabbed it so fast and held it the whole ride hoping I wouldn't let go. We both made it back safely fortunately!
Riding this at night is on an absolutely new level
Ok but what beats that is a full moon to your left
Just rode it for the first time yesterday. This is the one of the best coaster I've rode. This is one fast ride. You have to ride it to witness it.
First giga coaster I had ever been on. I cried going down that first drop. I swore I would never ride it again in 2015. I ended up changing my mind and went looking to ride it in 2019 and the ride had to be shut down due to mechanical issues. I was upset. I have ridden it in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. It’s awesome.
Have you ridden it this year to keep your yearly streak?
I love have low to the ground it stays and keeps all of its speed.
I rode this coaster back in 2016 I think. I love roller coasters but this one did indeed intimidate me, and I loved every second on it 🤣 my vision definitely went fuzzy after the drop but the dude riding next to me was straight up blacking out, he was screaming his ass off and then his head would flop onto his shoulder, then he’d wake up, screech, and pass out again 😂😂😂 such fun
I rode this coaster and now im in heaven chillin with the man himself.
can we just admire the quality of this video but i305 is amazing
Went on this yesterday first drop and the turns are crazy fast, great ride!
Got a front row nighttime zen ride after last week's fight and storm cleared everyone out. that experience was phenomenal
just rode this today and ended up loving it! me and my cousins rode it 3 times 😁
Once I got to the top, I started regretting my life choices
That turn is diabolical
I love when it says, “Gentleman start your engines!”
Rode for the first time Friday!! Back row is insane, airtime hill in the middle rows amazing!! Intense ride
That trim break...uff
Such a beautiful beast..every footage of I305 new or old, recent or not so recent...is all good...
Just rode this 2 days ago and its now my favorite ride ive ever rode. I rode it five times in one day and lost some vision about 2 times out of the 5 on the first turn. I highly recommend the very front row for the best experience but for a first timer i would definitely go for the 4th and 5th rows.
this thing is undeniably the worlds greatest coaster.
Phenomenal coaster, my #1
I’ve ridden idk 20+ coasters and none felt like this Eveeerrrr or even close. A. The ridiculously quick ascend really sets the tone for what’s about to happen haha
B. The first drop sustains the stomache in your chest feeling for quite a bit especially in the back.
C. That first turn the G force hit me hard and I almost passed out lol
D. It is soooo fast that I felt the blood to my brain slow down once or twice more but not pass out danger like that first bottom turn.
E. Beat coaster I ever had ridden.
Brutally fast.loved it .
This is THE BEST RIDE! ❤
The Most Intense Ride of all times imo... The only coaster that really intimidates me... too intense for my taste and I get a bit of headache just watching and imagining me on that
This looks awesome! 😀 Some of my friends and me are going to ride this tommorow and other rides and i'm so excited!!!
“Giga Coaster 1 looks too intense for me”
That's truly an amazing video! Great quality
Just rode this amaizing coaster Saturday in the front and back 305 awesome
That looks insane! Gotta do it! 5 hour drive from NJ
This was my fourth roller coaster I’ve ever ridden and I can really see what those ww2 pilots mean when they say it looks like a black curtain dropping over your eyes in a turn. Definitely ride it again as many times I can.
Rode it multiple times yesterday for the first time. You're guaranteed to grey out at least once on the ride and that first turn can give you close calls sometimes. Get a front row seat and feel the 90mph wind in your face.
This, by far, is my favorite coaster! I would see spots coming around that first drop turn!! I no longer live in Virginia, but Ohio, and I have yet to experience Cedar Point!
Im at virginia right now. And I'm at kings rn lol. Should I go on it!
me walking like a gigachad riding this 2 years ago now i have did the kingda ka the largest ever
now there is nothing to fear but really to have fun
Love roller coasters that focus on speed and sharp turns more than just drops:)
If you can do intimidator then you can do anything. Conquering the g forces and the snapping turns and airtime
No. 1 bucket list coaster. I hope to ride it in 8 days.
I ROAD IT TODAY AND LITERALLY ALMOST PASSED OUT💀 my eyes were closed the whole time so now I'm here
Me, my friends Raj and Brad stood in line for 4 hours when it first opened. All of us were going crazy after all that time, but it was completely worth it. ❤
me and my friend (both pretty young) decided to hit every coaster in this park, and no turning back. I remember the first time going on this, I had sat down, locked in my restraint and seatbelt, then I looked over at my friend and he was standing out of the cart shaking his head no. I just pulled him into the cart and pushed down his restraint for him. We ended up going on this ride 5 times 😂 we did front row on the fifth one, and it felt amazing.
Best description ever.
Just went a few weeks ago and rode it at night. It was scarier at night since you didn't know which direction you were going. Haven't ridden this ride since 2011? I blacked out the last time I went but damn this ride goes just as fast as I remember. 10/10 ride
Rode this twice yesterday and this is the only coaster that has caused me to grey out.
Nice video man! What did you use to record this? Go pro I assume.
I rode it for the first time yesterday. INTENSE. I never blacked out on a ride before, but the first turn I actually almost did. absolutely amazing
I drove 5 hours to ride this, and it was closed the whole week lol. At least I had a fun time staring at it
The biggest RIP ever
@@JesusLivesOfficial yep
@@JesusLivesOfficialI rode it 2 days ago finally
