All I know is I hope it is open before October. I know I'm probably wrong, but we can always hope

I was at the park today. The whole area seems really forgotten. Nobody from the park was even over there. More importantly, from Anaconda's lift, I noticed all the I305-branded trash cans from the Intimidator plaza were all lined up and stored together off the path on an off-to-the side area. Not sure how long it's been like this, but this could also be a clue they are planning for a long wait still.

That's how it was yesterday, its like nobody knew flight of fear was there. They just walked up saw I305 fenced off and turned away. I walked on FOF 6 times

FoF ride ops were too busy partying last Friday, literally only like 60 people were there for about an hour.

Any new updates?

Still dead as a door knob... :/

I know it's going to take a long time since its a custom made part. I just feel like the process is going way to slow. This is INTIMIDATOR 305! The most popular ride in the park, tallest and fastest coaster on the east coast! And it being shut down I'm sure has hurt the attendance a little. Hurry up!!

I don't think Intamin cares about that . It's not under their control anymore. Like I said before, I don't know the entire process, but I know it takes forever (obviously). Remember how long it took for the yellow train for Verbolten to come back into service last year? Around 6-7 months.

I305 is advertised as tallest and fastest on their website: https://www.kingsdominion.com/rides/Thrill-Rides/Intimidator-305

Just cause it's advertised does not mean it's true.

Tallest and fastest roller coaster on the east coast "with a lift hill"

We know many of you have inquired about the status of Intimidator 305 and appreciate your patience while the ride has been closed for maintenance. We are working with the ride’s manufacturer and anticipate that Intimidator 305 will reopen later this Fall. We will release additional information as it becomes available on our website at www.kingsdominion.com and on this Facebook page.

This is good news. But how late will this be?

Week before Haunt ends

Week before Haunt ends

That would be hilarious!

But they really do need to test it and break in that new gearbox with riders.

If you go onto the haunt website. The i305 isn't listed as one of the rides. I don't think they are sure it will be up and running by haunt.

Exactly.

The original press release stated this...

Intimidator 305, only the second Giga-coaster ever built in North America, will be the tallest and fastest roller coaster of its type on the East Coast.

They're getting lazy with their website!

Not the first time that has happened, just look at their 3 different edits to their media policy so CoasterCrew could stream the planet snoopy announcement.
