I'm definitely not in any hurry to ride this coaster. It can wait until September. Those OTSR's have hurt me on every other coaster that has them so I think it's a safe bet to say they'll hurt me on 305. Seeing the POV only reinforces that.

lol. I didn't realize Intimadator 305 is open already.. Painful turns due to the OTSR remind me of Maverick. I'll keep my hands down the first ride.

Looks very fast

update: straps are now on the trains. It almost looks as if they just put padding over the shoulder portion of the restraint.

The entire first drop is still trimmed so I still don't think the ride can be any better from this IMO

PLEASE put those on Kingda Ka!! They actually remind me a lot of the OTSR's on the flyers. Probably more closer to the Vekomas since B&M still has the steel bars come down as well. I'm only guessing but maybe Intamin wasn't ready with these in time for the park opening and had to go with the old style as a temporary solution?

I bet Sandor said the ride would be fine as is and that KD shouldn't worry.

I'm curious to try the "new version" of i305, now that it's been slowed down and comfy-fied.

update: test run with new track pieces

Just drive straight to Busch Gardens. Oh , wait , they don't have that ride anymore.

Busch Gardens is dead to me. I'd rather go to KD to ride Grizzly.

Sounds like a plan to me!

I'll only ride it again if Bubba is there to be my co-pilot for the end.
(Although I never did try the new restraints.)

^^^^ Hence I said, Oh wait they don't have that ride anymore.

Ken.. Deal. As long as you ride the rapid with me. I think that's the only ride I haven't been on yet.

AV Matt · « **Reply #139 on:** March 10, 2011, 11:06:03 PM »

Their rapids are good value!

B-mac · « **Reply #140 on:** March 11, 2011, 08:47:06 AM »

Possible KD trip if I mvoe to VA before the summer. Hard to believe that place will soon be my home park, and I haven't been there in years lol.

GADVwow · « **Reply #141 on:** March 11, 2011, 06:09:44 PM »

Volcano: The Blast Coaster.

Gush.

Okay, I'm done now...

Wow, who counts only wood, hypers and Volcano: The Blast Coaster...that last only because it won't let me not.

Someone who would pick Volcano in the draft therefore then would be ultra wise then is what you are saying.

Canada who just had to.

ps. BC playing a role in these posts ;P
