Am I excited about this coaster? YES. Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia announced their own Intimidator 305 last week, but the coasters are not the same. The biggest difference in the two coasters is Intimidator is a B&M and Intimidator 305 is an Intamin. Don’t forget to check out Behind the Thrills live tomorrow night as we chat with Dani Swords, PR Manager for Carowinds about Intimidator.
