The Intimidator 305 kicks serious @$$ Topic

^^I305 craps all over Millennium Force.

Seconded.

I'm certain there's no comparison between I305 and Millennium. I've found all the comparable B&Ms I've tried (Nitro, Diamondback, Behemoth, Leviathan) to be superior to Millennium....I can't wait to ride I305 though, as Maverick is hands down my favorite @ Cedar Point and I305 reminds me of a Maverick/Millennium lovechild.

I think Millennium Force is better than any hyper, but then I305 comes in on top of everything.

^second that

I don't get it man. Obviously I voice an unpopular opinion, but I find Millennium Force lackluster and, well, forceless.

MF is fantastic only because it's so graceful. No other ride in the world even comes close to the beauty of Millennium Force. To be honest, I too find it not to be the most thrilling of rides, but its grace and fluidity more than make up for it in my opinion.

^I can dig that.

I too like Millennium. I think it was running faster when I went, because perfect floater was over the hills while some people claim it's slightly less than true floater. Which would be annoying. But the super drawn-out nature makes it so darn enjoyable and reridable. Sometimes we coaster lovers prefer that "intense intense intense" experience and when something massive but not intense comes around, it's unique and cool.

Just wanna mention that a few months ago, I found the secret "2nd seat". While not quite the wind in your face and ears as the front row, its still a lot of wind. Plus you get the pop out of your seat airtime on the hill after the big drop just like the front row. We always sit in the 2nd row on I305 now since the front row is always minimum 20 minute wait (usually over 35 minutes) while 2nd row is no more than a 3 seat wait.

Why even bother with any seat that isnt in the back half of the train?

Because in the front you get a better view, more wind (the ride does have a strong focus on speed, after all, and does not feel as fast toward the back), quicker transitions to negative forces, and a bit more smoothness.

Just because you like the back best doesn't mean everyone has to lol.

Perhaps you should practice what you preach

I used to think the back seat was the 2nd best seat (besides the front) on I305. Now I think the 2nd seat is far better than than the back.

So I finally got on Skyrush and I personally still think it doesnt come close to Intimidator in any aspect. Not even airtime. Dont get me wrong, the moments of airtime on skyrush were insane, but they were abrupt and kind of painfull with the restraints. Plus while skyrush only has 5 moments of airtime, intimidator has 9 (including the twisties). I also am not a fan of the drop on skyrush. The random kick halfway down the drop seems like it was a mistake, and is really kind of pointless feeling. It just feels like a random jerk, not airtime. Until they fix the restraints for this ride it will not be quite up there with I305. Dont get me wrong, it is still sitting comfortably at my #3 spot.

I found the first row adn the second from the back to be the best although still a bit underwhelming compared to all the hype. I personally preferred Skyrush by a huge margin and still not quite as good as Maverick or even Stormrunner and Apollo. Overall it sits at my #9 but still not quite a perfect ride like so many people say it is.
