Il faut le faire pour comprendre, ridé hier soir lors de la soft opening surprise du parc ! Une merveille, je n'ai jamais ressenti ça avant dans un coaster, à deux doigts de m'évanouir dans le premier turn, puis des changements de direction si violents ! Bref, allez le faire ! Ce qui rajoute à l'expérience, c'est la chance qu'on a eue de le faire en soft opening juste avant de partir.

Un monstre d'intensité qui intimidera les plus téméraires. La First Drop est folle, le Turn à ras le sol juste derrière jusqu'au Camelback offrira un moment d'intensité en G+ vertical rare sur la planète tant c'est long et intense, surtout lors d'une journée d'été avec 40° ambiant. Les changements de direction sont brutaux et intenses, tout comme les ejectors d'ailleurs qui poussent vraiment. Les Helix sont prises à des vitesses délirantes et son très très intenses, Intimidator 305 est une machine à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains car très intense mais l'expérience offerte est dantesque, tout simplement mythique !

I'd be lying 100% if I said this wasn't on my coaster bucket list for over a decade now. Just wish that it kept the old I305/Dale Earnhardt theme. Though you could argue the Cedar Fair/Six Flags merger kinda played a factor here...

The ride that was almost too extreme to operate- A fast, insane, cut-throat & viciously intense experience with blackout positives, crazy laterals, nuts whip, and solid airtime. A classic intamin masterpiece, and the first coaster to genuinely make me black out.

This is the most intense roller coaster I have EVER been on. That first drop isn't even the most intense part of the ride. Those turn arounds were RIDICULOUS. I had on sunglasses and my eyes were still tearing up. If you hate intensity, you will hate this roller coaster. I personally love it!

OH MY GOD! THIS RIDE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Pantherian, formerly Project 305 and Intimidator 305 is easily the greatest coaster I've ever done. The intensity and whips are just absolutely awesome. The airtime hill gives strong ejector, and of course, that bone crushing turn makes me grey out almost every time. 100/10. This is 100% better than Fury.

What a speed demon. P305 does not disappoint. Between the restraints, the layout, and the incredible whippy transitions, p305 is an absolute beast of a coaster. The speed does not let up. I do not experience the grey/blackouts that other riders do, though I have on occasion seen stars. If I did, though, I doubt I would be riding it again. Last time I rode it front row and it did not disappoint. While TT edges it out as my favorite ride at KD, I still love this little (big) monster if a ride. My favorite part is the snap turns that always take me by surprise. I know they are there, but this thing doesn't give you the time to think about what's coming next. I also appreciate the security of thenover-the-shoulder restraints that also add to the theming as a Nascar ride (even if it is being rethemed--please dont take them away!) Three cheers to KD for having this thing in it's 1-2 park punch.

Whoever thought to combine Maverick and Millennium Force into one coaster was bonkers, and I don't know why they built it at Kings Dominion of all places, and yet here we are. Intimidator 305 is possibly the most intense roller coaster in the world. Huge positive Gs, enormous giga level speed, and relentless transitions all happen at the same time, and with the wind in your face in the front row, you'll be begging this ride for mercy. Thankfully, there are breaks of airtime between all of the intense moments, which is what makes this ride work, as it does have a little bit of remorse. The new soft collars are even better than the old ones, so my only complaint about this ride is now out the window. This coaster is absolutely ridiculous and will probably get torn down for a more tame B&M or Mack giga in the next 20 years, so let's enjoy it while it's still kicking our asses.

This is still the only coaster to bring me to a full blackout, which made for the single most insane ride I’ve ever had on a coaster. The speed, transitions, and airtime are all just cherries on top. ...

This is still the only coaster to bring me to a full blackout, which made for the single most insane ride I’ve ever had on a coaster. The speed, transitions, and airtime are all just cherries on top. I’ll always respect what this ride does, no matter what it’s themed to.

This is the only coaster I have ever ridden that I come off it with a headache, not because it's rough but because the g-forces are too extreme. It's my least favourite of all the giga's in north america IMO. That being said I still enjoy riding it when I go to KD, I just can't marathon it like a lot of enthusiasts can.

Absolute nuts. Its insane that this thing even exists. This is probably the only ride I've ever seen that is a good ride that has a shorter wait because it is simply too much for the general public. I grayed out every time I rode this, with a few blackouts in there too. Genuinely one of the craziest feelings on any experience of my life. The whippy transitions and sense of speed are big pros too.

HOLY COW, THIS RIDE IS NUTS. It's wicked intense, lots of surprise airtime, and a guarantee super fun ride! High speed feeling and really quick transitions! The only thing is the OTSR (over the shoulder restraints) can be a little restricted, but they are comfy so meh.

I rode I305 17 times that day, and a 10 ride marathon and the end of the night, and this coaster is incredible. Easily my #1 coaster. The transitions are great as well as the first turn. Ride in the back row for the whip, but make sure to get a front row night ride. At night with the wind in your face this is unlike any other coaster. Highly recommend getting out to kings dominion for this.

This review is based only on one ride in the front row, but this thing is undoubtedly a coaster like no other. The first drop is amazing and gets the adrenaline flowing for the infamous gray out turn, that while I surprisingly did not gray out on is very intense. Both airtime hills deliver some very good ejector airtime, but what I find to be my favorite part of the ride are those snappy transitions. It feels like the coaster just can’t decide which way it wants to go and tries to kill you and your vision while it makes its mind up. All of this, while you’re being smacked in the face with wind at the impressive speed of 90 mph. The entire layout is pure insanity and I love every second of it. You really have to experience this one to believe and feel the hype. 100% the best coaster in the park; made even better by “GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES” as you dispatch. 10/19 UPDATE: Now that I finally have more rides on this, I can further my claim that this ride is absolutely extraordinary. Most of my rides have been in the front, but I have done back as well. Both rows have their pros and cons; in the front you have the amazing sensation of 90 mph right in your face, as well as strong positives and in my opinion it’s the best row on the ride for some sustained airtime on the airtime hills, but the back offers extremely good whip and it’s also the row that I think you have the best chance of graying out in(for reference, I’ve yet to gray out in the front but I did gray out in the back). This is truly a ride like no other that every coaster enthusiast should make an effort to come experience sometime in their life.

Before I rode this, I thought I knew the meaning of intense. But this Ride is CRAZY! The first turn makes me gray out every time, and I never knew there was such a thing as an intense brake run. I also rode this ride in the back 3 times in a row nonstop. My head hurt for an hour after that. This ride's intensity is both good and bad, because it both adds and detracts from the experience. But overall, it's great and is one of my favorite coasters.

Project 305 is a barrage of intensity, ejector airtime, and snappy laterals. My absolute favorite part of this ride and one of my favorite elements of all time is the snappy speed hill after the camelback. I love this ride SO MUCH! It ranks within my top 5 easily. Every hill has amazing airtime, every s-bend is a joy, and every turn tries to knock you out cold! You'll never feel faster than when you are darting around near the ground at 90 miles per hour. My only complaint is the harsh trim 2/3rds of the way through the layout.

This was my first Giga coaster and it now sits right behind Velicoaster for my number 1. The intensity is unmatched, the first turn is something special. I was surprised how smooth it was, considering...

This was my first Giga coaster and it now sits right behind Velicoaster for my number 1. The intensity is unmatched, the first turn is something special. I was surprised how smooth it was, considering how fast you are going. The pacing is unmatched and restraints are good.

One of if not the best coaster in the world in my opinion. I love this ride from the bottom of my heart. I have yet to ride anything as fun as this. Also more coasters need to take notes for a harness that's comfortable.

I305 is by far the most intense ride I've been on. It isn't the tallest, but after the first drop coming up on that first airtime hill strikes different, and every time I nearly black out. Definitely ride towards the back. I was a little disappointed when I rode towards the front, because it didn't have as much intensity, but still an amazing ride, and I don't understand why Fury keeps winning steel coaster of the year.

Quelle claque ! Ce coaster est la définition de l’intensité ! Bonjours les voiles gris à tous les rides en bas de la drop, des changements de sens super intéressant par la vitesse de la machine qui semble ne jamais ralentir ! Si vous aimez l’intensité ce coaster est fait pour vous, a l’inverse si votre style est plutôt un parcours aérien, avec de grands hangtimes alors vous n’allez pas forcément appréciez. Le vieux harnais intamin c’est pas super, et la first drop je la trouve décevante pour un coaster de 93m de haut (celle d’un bon RMC c’est largement plus intéressant). Bref un coaster hyper impressionnant, hyper intense mais qui ne plaira pas à tout le monde

Oh my god. I rode this when I went to KD for a senior trip a month or two back, and before I go back to KD in a couple of days, I want to review this monster before I forget. But, WOW, this thing is insanity. It's very intense, but smooth. I've ridden easily at least 50 coasters, and out of all of those, this is the only one that made me gray out, and I fucking love it. I rode it, knowing I was probably going to gray out, and then the drop came, and there is zero warning beforehand. I got off this ride and literally jumped up and down like a toddler, and I'm a grown ass man. If you can handle the intensity, I STRONGLY recommend riding this beast.

Probably the most intense ride a modern amusement park can get away with. I greyed out on the first turn, and I don't usually get motion sick or lose consciousness at all on roller coasters. After that, the ride was a masterpiece. Extreme levels of ejector and multi G turns. This was helped out by the new style Intamin restraints which are somehow less prone to stapling then other rides with the same setup. A must ride for sure if you are in the area.

This thing was a doozy. I got to go twice. I fucking blacked out after the first drop and the way the second hill JOLTS your vision back is divine. The turns make you feel like you're gonna fly out. I...

This thing was a doozy. I got to go twice. I fucking blacked out after the first drop and the way the second hill JOLTS your vision back is divine. The turns make you feel like you're gonna fly out. It made me wanna puke at the end of the second time. It's THAT GOOD. I could go on about this Discord user traumatizing me with a ChatGPT-generated retheme of the ride (back when we didn't know it was gonna be jaguar-themed) about a little-known Disney character (from the PARKS) I liked at the time, but to save your sanity, I won't.

If Fury is the perfect giga coaster, I305 is the absolutely insane and deranged sibling that tries to kill you and is somehow better for it. If you trade a varied and majestic layout for insane intensity and laterals so strong they give you airtime, you get this monster. Some may say that the over-the-shoulder restraints hurt this ride's quality, but I firmly believe lap bars on this thing would result in countless spinal injuries. To this day this is the only coaster I am ever scared to ride. The sheer power and intensity is downright horrifying, but that's what makes the ride so good; there is no other coaster like this one on the planet and there never will be. 10/10 - as of my last visit I can officially say I have fully passed out on this thing! Do not ride this coaster 3 times-back-to-back dehydrated and on an empty stomach

This is the most intense coaster I've ever ridden and it's not even close. I've heard about graying or blacking out but never really came close on any ride until this one. Especially the further back in the train you get, that's when the sensation becomes even more intense. My first ride in the front row didn't make me gray out and it's probably the best place to ride it. The intense speed you feel while making sharp turns and transitions is so much more enjoyable with the wind in your face. I had the most gray-out sensation in row 10 and never rode a row further than that. You're taking the first curve at a way faster speed in the back and it hits hard on the body. Great airtime after the first curve as well and it keeps an insane pace until the first brake run up the second airtime hill. This truly is a masterpiece and I'm so glad they took a chance at making a Millennium Force/Maverick hybrid. 5/5 stars

This is one of the best rollercoasters in the world if not the best for me. The first drop is phenomenal, the intensity is perfect (any more would be too much), the speed is awesome and the ride is smooth despite the pace. In contrast to Maverick I love the transitions despite their being intense and the seats are a bit better too. I think the restraints could be better though, they are just inferior to the modern Intamin over-the-shoulder lap bars. But all in all, this is an awesome rollercoaster that everybody who likes intense rides has to experience.

Une véritable bombe, je l’ai préfèré large aux autre du même acabit skyrush ou storm runner car un peu plus confort . Les changements de direction , les ejectors et le vitesse de cette machine est incensée mais je retire une étoile parce que perdre la vue à chaque bas de drop dans ce virage de l’enfer c’est vraiment pas nécessaire autant d’intensité.
