Looking at the website, it seems that Fast Lane Plus is gone and I305 and Volcano are under the regular Fast Lane pass.
The fast lane area still says that I305 is closed, so they might have removed it from the list but forgot to readd it after the ride reopening.
I will look more once I have access to a computer later tonight.

I would imagine they dropped Fast Lane Plus because Intimidator 305 and Volcano were the only rides that had were the perks of that, so with I305 down I imagine it was dropped completely because it's not worth the extra price to just ride Volcano.icyblues said:
That was from Screamscape I'm guessing? Anyways, I'm not taking any judgement as of yet as rides do break down and with it being a brand new part, a major part at that, on a 3 year old ride, that some adjustments are still needed to be done. I wouldn't be scared about it until this weekend. If it in fact is down, then something is truly wrong yet again.I305 fan said:
The advertised speed is 92mph+. Speed of the ride varies with the amount of riders and the time of day and if it is hot or cold.
They have removed the trims 2 years ago so I305 is back up to it's former speed.

Gotta ask... was there anyone at the park this weekend to see whether or not I305 was up or not?

Evan,
Just sent you this in a PM, as well. Tony and I were there Sunday night.
Intimidator 305 was running when we got there at 4:30 pm and still running when we were in line at 6:00 pm for OutBreak. We finally rode it a little before 9:00 pm. So, my guess is that it was running most of the night.
I was a bit surprised that they only had one training running, but I thought that might have been because the lines were so short.

Looking around the web and I noticed this from TPR:
I'm guessing that this is where Lance first heard it, so i'm at the belief that this is just a rumor that someone has started. But I will continue to keep a close eye out.

It was fantastic Sunday night. I don't think I'd ever ridden it after dark before, and I believe firmly that all coasters are better at night. I think you feel the ride more, when you have less to look at. And you see less of what is coming, as well.
Do they run the rides for maintenance and testing, when the park is closed? Maybe it went down since Monday?

As far as I know, only full time staff is at the park during the weekdays. And that would be the full- time maintenance workers.
Usually maintenance workers don't run the rides during the week (guessing) unless they need to test a new part that they installed, but I don't see why they wouldn't just wait.
Basically what i'm trying to say is, that no, they don't run the rides during the week.

In which case this rumor is nonsense. (Or had a particularly realistic hallucination Sunday night.)
After reading through the TPR thread today, it seems like the guy was misinformed. He called Guest services asking if I305 would be put back on the Fast Pass list. They stated that it was removed because the ride closed down. So it seems as if he took it that it was currently closed.
What they were trying to say was that since the ride was down all summer long, they removed Fast Lane Plus and combined Volcano with the regular fast lane so that the up-charge wasn't a complete waste of money (from a guest standpoint). From the sounds of it, I305 is still not listed as a Fast Lane ride at this time.
Hope that clears up any confusion that may have been caused with this false rumor.

Just to confirm, I went to KD a few weekends ago (on a Sat and Sun 28/29 of Sept). I called the park before I went and they confirmed to me that i305 WAS on Fast Lane even though it hadn't been relisted on the website. So we grabbed FL passes both days (since we traveled from New England).
They only had 2 FL choices... Fast Lane and Fright Lane (no FL Plus--as Evan mentioned above, that option was removed)--but the regular FL DID include Volcano and i305. We had FL both days at the park and used it for all the big coasters/rides--we used it countless times for i305 and Volcano.
Also, it was my first time at KD and i305 was unbelievable! Had a great time at the park!
