WOW

Woah.
In the Facebook video, is the video at normal speed at the 1:09 mark? It seriously looks like a fast forwarded video.

No overbanks? It sucks.

That's just the way the video is, cheetah hunt looks slow as hell through half its elements. Btw, IT HAS TRIMS!!!
-
since it has trims after the launch that just means U GOTS NUTHIN ON KINGDA KA!!!!
-
Cheetah Hunt is a cartoon, this is reality.
How can you even compare the two?
It looks like it barely makes it back. Not impressed.
-
Ka launches into a trim too ya know.

Huge difference between "Launch - Tophat - Trims" and "Launch - Trims - Everything else"

It has the speed record.

for all of a half a second, then you just ride the disappointment for a mile...

I feel like I305 imitates more of a Formula 1 experience and this would be a better Nascar experience with long corners.
-
I do have to agree with that, formula one racing has a much faster pace than Nascar. But Nascar requires much more endurance. I honestly think both of those rides are on the bottom of Intamin's best projects list since they have so much potential wasted before the ride even gets fun.
-
INTAMIN judges its projects differently than you do. They worry if they will SELL and if they generate repeat business. After today's conference call, and similar remarks by Mr. Kinzel during Tuesday's FUN call, it's clear the US regional seasonal players won't be buying large roller coasters for quite some time.
What we, as customers of the parks, think matters very, very little. What the buyers at the parks think matters a great deal.
-
By "US regional players" you mean all cedar fair parks, right? or all the major theme park companies like six flags, busch and disney?
-
The U.S. regional seasonal park players are Cedar Fair and Six Flags...
-
That I can believe, next year the only "big" coasters being installed in the Six Flags chain are the two green lanterns (Gadv and MM) and Dare Devil Dive in SFoG.
-
and Texas Giant 2

Almost all the products of decisions by previous management (tweaked by location changes at most).

more lame footage...

Looks really smooth, on a positive note.
On the negative, I saw trims on the last hill before the return camelbacks and the ride would be so much more intense if it had a real SPEED FACTOR.
-
Looks like another Intamin special. There are trims on the very first hill as you go UP! There is no way they meant for it to crawl through the rest of the course that slowly so one can only guess they goofed on what the human body can endure or they are still doing test and adjust. But for me, this is letdown.
-
There was someone who said the forces were too great for the average person to endure, so I guess they added the trims so it would be "safe" for everyone. Somewhat off topic but S&S did the same thing to ring racer, btw.
-
That's why they both suck...
-
And if I learned the right things about INTAMIN I can say that ride should have a few breakdown periods in the next year or two.
-
you get one rush and its pretty much over...
