I survived Intimidator 305
Kings Dominion has a brand new roller coaster: Intimidator 305. This awesomely extreme ride is the tallest and fastest roller coaster on the East Coast and was inspired by racing legend, Dale Earnhardt.

The Media Day and VIP celebration at Kings Dominion began with an opening Ceremony, with an enthusiastic welcome from Virginia’s Lt. Governor, Bill Bolling.
Also, making a special appearance was the entire crew from Food Network’s hit show, Ace of Cakes. There was a stunning two-foot cake equipped with a working roller coaster at the center of the attraction.
The Intimidator 305 soars at speeds of up to 96 mph, making it hard to keep a pretty face for the roller coaster camera.
After the first few excruciating moments of riding to the top of the initial 300-foot drop, you are thrust around turns and drops that leave you breathless and pretty much blinded by the intense speeds.
“This is the most intense ride I have ever ridden.” Said Wayne Fuqua, Kings Dominion’s roller coaster maintenance supervisor.
I have to agree. And with two carts, able to hold 32 people each, the lines should never be too long of a wait. This one is definitely worth checking out this season — which happens to start today!
