In the front right outside seat is the best spot for this hill because you come whipping over the hill, flying all the way when suddenly all you can see is the parking lot one hundred and seventy five feet below you.  Honestly it looks like that's where you're headed but then you swerve off to the right all while you're posterior is headed skyward.  Thankfully though the comfy restraints keep you moving along with the train.



I was expecting to just fall in love with Intimidator's airtime hills but this has to be one of the best combinations of negative and lateral g forces on any ride that B& M has designed.  Sitting here thinking about it almost two months later my heart beat has picked up a few more beats a minute.



Just look at everyone's faces as they come out of that turnaround, everywhere you look smiles.  That stretch of track is the highlight on a ride where everything is a highlight.



We rode and as soon as we got into the station we were like kids on Christmas morning opening gifts.  We all hopped out of our seat and ran for the next one we wanted to try.  Those in the front headed for the back, those on the inside headed for the outside, those on the right headed for the left.  It was a giant game of musical chairs and with eight of us and thirty-two seats there was no way we'd lose.
