Steel Erection by: Adena
After several months of work (including several drafts and versions), ever since the announcement of this intense, steel monstrosity (Aug. 20, 2009), I am proud to present you with my recreation of Intimidator 305, at Kings Dominion in Doswell Virginia.
In the process of the several track attempts I've tackled in the recent months, I realized how difficult it was to make the track, and yet the file I'm handing out to you today isn't even perfect. This leaves me to say I might consider doing a second version recreation, but not any time soon.
NOTE: I ask that you
PLEASE ride the recreation in the Intimidator environment for a more enjoyable ride, and with the modded lift chain texture.
I have to give the most extensive special thanks to the numerous people who have helped me in the making of the ride: Real, Dcs221, Calakapepe, Jakizle, HCL, Flickstah, Ianko66, CPF, Slosprint, Matthew, and Jawharp1992.
And I would need to additionally give thanks to Myriad who gave me his permission to modify his Kilo environment to my "
Intimidator" environment.
Ultimately, I hope you enjoy it.
**NOTE: The lift hill in this video is 10mph, because I filmed the video before the media day videos were released, and I went with the lift hill speed in the testing videos. The track package contains a 8 m/s lift, which is roughly around the same speed.
Lol, I understand it's not fixable... but whenever I look at them I feel like my brain's about to explode.
Edit: here is my actual rate.
T: The recreation seemed to be great in the technical department. Gs were a tad high at times but based on the looks of the actual ride I'd say they are just fine. I loved how the double spine was executed on your ride and it seemed to look exactly like the spine on the real I305. It was extremely smooth even for a newton coaster, especially over the quick transitions which are usually extremely hard to pull off although you did so quite nicely. The only bad thing was that the love brake fins were not straight. Gah! 9.25
A: Holy love dude. Things don't get much more intense than this. If the forces alone weren't enough than you also have pacing which rivals, if not beats Maverick's and a drop that is equally if not more kick ass than Millennium Force's. Even though the transitions did seem a wee bit slower than the real ride this still deserves an extremely awesome score. 9.75
Acc: This was possibly one of the best recreations I have seen done and what makes it better is that it was done on a ride which I'd imagine is extremely difficult to recreate, even though I haven't attempted it myself. Everything seemed perfect except for two things. The first is that the transitions seemed slower than real life. This is probably an issue with NL and not your recreation but I thought it worth mentioning anyways. The second is that it seemed like the transition before the brakes and the transition before the hill with the trims were a bit lower to the ground than the real ride. 9
So yeah, an awesome recreation, thanks for the chance to test and download!
