My biggest fear of riding I305 now is getting stuck at the top of the lift hill, and having to walk down 300 ft of steps... I'd stay on for a week before I walked down
I know right, there was like 3 break downs opening day! I won't ride this one until all that is fixed and stuff. 300 ft of steps is unimaginably high for a flight of stairs, no way I'm climbing down.XD

That's really odd... I didn't notice that (I haven't been to the park while it was dark lately...). I could have swore I saw the chaser lights this year...
I took a picture of the lift today and the chaser's are still there... My best guess is that if the ride to be stuck or something, they turn on the white lights for better visibility... maybe they hit the wrong switch?

I knew running lights didn't sound right, and I was shocked when I saw those lights instead. They're the same lights used on Anaconda
I don't know about the lights, the closest thing that I could think of is exactly what evan thought of, they flipped the wrong switch maybe. What I don't get is why it is still breaking down! Everyday KD is open it breaks down, it has so far.:sick:
It's actually not as bad anymore. It's 1-2 breakdowns every few days. Unlike the beginning of the year, it broke down 5 times a day.
Do the lights make it more eerie and darker or is it still the same? (I really want to get a night ride on Anaconda considering the fact that it has those kinds of lights.It just adds to the atmosphere.) Back on topic, whats the chances of getting stuck up there? It happened quite a few times on the sixth.
I honestly prefer the chaser lights, it just gives it more of a race and speed feeling, imo.
Evan, when I305 breaks down at the top of the hill, people really walk down 300ft of steps?! I'd be sitting there until the ride was operating again

Don't quote me on this, evacuating Intimidator is no easy or fast task. Maintenance has to walk each individual person down with special harnesses. They will sit there and try to get the ride back up and running. Last year when it was stuck on the lift hill for multiple days, I'm sure they would have been evacuated if there was riders on board. But to my knowledge, i305 has never been evacuated on the lift besides practice evacuations that they must perform.
That was great info, you learn new things everyday. I'm glad to hear about the harness, it just seems like it would be very easy to miss a step and tumble down 300ft of steps. And that means after day 2 of being stuck up there, staff better bring me a burger from the hungry hippo. I may get hungry 
Its still... unacceptable I mean, 1-2 times doesn't sound bad because of what I305 started out 2014 as but that's definitely (still) KD's biggest problem.Evan said:
