Fun Smoothness Airtimes

Not much airtime at all, but is enjoyable. Ride it in the back for the credit and then go to Fury, Copperhead, or Afterburn.

Airtimes Theming

Floating over dumpsters and parking lots has never been so fun! If you get stapled at all, you're in for one boring ride...keep em loose, and you'll experience some bonkerz floater air. Typical hyper with a focus on air and if you love the sound and kick on of trims, you're in for treat my strange friend. Trims all over! But honestly they don't kill the ride or even trim that much. Needs a re-theming, or I-305 needs a re-theming. Earnhardt doesn't strike me as the man for floater airtime. Maybe Rusty Wallace? Anyway, a solid but not quite top level hyper for me, Goliath and Apollo stand above it by a bit.

The airtime have so much potential for greatness if they dialed down the trim breaks on the hills. Not sure if it can or will ever be done. I still really liked this ride but only if the restraints are as loose as possible. If there is any hint of being stapled be prepared to sit through 2 minutes of boredom. Also the name "Intimidator" really should have been saved just for the 305 foot version at Kings Dominion. This Charlotte version is great but isn't really living up to the name. I will say this is probably really good for marathoning but is also living under the shadow of a superior B&M within walking distance called Fury325. This is a solid 4 star coaster for me.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Smoothness Pointless Dead spots

Intimidator is very good. I believe Intimidator delivered better airtime than its neighbor, Fury 325. However, that's really all Intimidator has to offer. All Intimidator does is deliver amazing airtime. It can be a little slow at times. The pacing is not good. However, the airtime is good enough for Intimidator's flaws to be forgiven, as it really is fun from start to finish.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar

Fun B&M Hyper themed after Dale Earnhardt that has a good drop, great airtime, and somewhat of a lack of purpose. While "Intrimidator's" much maligned trim brakes don't ruin the ride as some say, they do slow the train down a bit too much for my taste on the airtime hills. Additionally, while this ride would certainly be one of, if not the, headline attraction/s at 9/10 parks, it happens to reside at the same park that Fury 325 does. While the two have much different layouts, Fury's is just insane; which leaves you with a bit of a lessened reason to ride this when you could be riding Fury.

Airtimes Duration Dead spots

A long coaster with some great airtime, it does get a little boring sometimes though.

Airtimes Capacity Comfort

A very good B&M Hyper. Good consistent floater all the way through and a ride I thought was very rerideable. The trims didn’t affect me that much and I though gave a good floaty feeling. Loved the look of the trains and thought the ride was great overall. Fourth favorite B&M Hyper Behring Mako, Diamondback, and Goliath at Over Georgia.

Airtimes Lap Bar Smoothness

Some really solid airtime, but the ride falls short everywhere else. I will say that the trims were not nearly as bad as I was led to believe - definitely odd to trim on the way down after an airtime hill, because it makes it feel like much more speed is sapped than actually is, while a trim before the crest (like on Diamondback) just adds to the feeling of floater.

Airtimes Fun

9.0 out of 10! Airtime only in the front cars only for me, it seems they slow this down for some reason. I enjoy the coaster with a lot of hills. I am not a fan of the trains that is used.

First Drop Capacity Comfort Disappointing!

I had heard from many people going in that this ride was a top tier b&m hyper but i was dissapointed. Sure it is a good ride but those brakes really kill this.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Too short

Intimidator gets a lot of flack for its trims, but a front row seat negates the effects of the trims and gives sustained ejector on the three camelbacks. It has a fantastic first drop, and two really fun turnarounds that are twisty and smooth, and the first one even has airtime in the front. The ride is short, but the midcourse doesn't hurt the ride too much. The helix is somewhat forceful and there's unexpected ejector air out of the helix. A really solid B&M hyper, unfortunately outclassed by Fury.

Floater airtime abound on this more recent B&M Hyper.
