I just loved every single lap on Intimidator 305 especially as the
nights went on. As park closing neared Intimidator 305 sucked us
in for lap after lap as it was too good to get off.
There are three rides that really make Kings Dominion for me. One
is Avalanche and the other two are pictured here.
Heading back to the bottom of Intimidator's drop we were treated with
some wonderful views of the legendary Racer 75.
Racer '75 up until recently was known as the Rebel Yell. It had a
starring role in the movie "Rollercoaster". That is part of the
reason that ACE chose to have this Coaster Con at Kings Dominion because
the club began right here. During a promotional ride marathon for
the movie those who came together to ride over and over came to the
realization that "hey there are others like me" and as a result the
American Coaster Enthusiasts" came into existance.
Here is one more photo of Intimidator 305 for you. You might
notice the nice puffy white clouds are starting to look not so friendly.
Well it was super hot out, it was super humid out and from this point on
come four of five in the afternoon massive thunderstorms would develop
overhead completely saturating the park shutting everything down sending
us all running for cover.
