Intimidator 305

Intimidator 305 is a steel roller coaster located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, United States. Manufactured by Intamin, Intimidator 305 opened to the public on April 2, 2010, as the park's fourteenth roller coaster. It is located in the Safari Village section of the park near Anaconda on the former site of the Safari Monorail ride. Standing at 305 feet tall and reaching speeds up to 90 miles per hour , it is the second Giga Coaster to be built in North America, following Millennium Force at Cedar Point. The $25-million investment was the largest of any ride in park history. Themed to racing, the coaster is named after NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who was commonly known as "The Intimidator".
Intimidator 305 has a first drop of 300 feet , which reaches a maximum descent angle of 85 degrees. Its unique lift hill structure only utilizes two main points of support at the hill's crest. Its overall height is also higher than the observation platform of the park's tallest structure, the Eiffel Tower attraction. After only one season of operation, the ride underwent major reconstruction of its first turn to reduce the number of greyouts and blackouts some riders were experiencing on the ride.
