Intimidator 305 Leaves Me Speechless | Kings Dominion - My Experience, July 2022 

I’m pretty sure Sophie and Amy have been to more parks this year than I’ve been in my entire life.

I love how this channel has turned into you turning your daughter into a coaster enthusiast and getting her credits up.

As a kid I would have been so jealous of Sophie. We got to go once a summer to kings island or holiday world. A multi week trip to all these amazing parks literally would have been a childhood dream of mine. You're great dad!

These vlog videos are so fun to watch and it’s fun seeing sophie becoming more of an enthusiast as she goes on more coasters!

“What do you call a racing coaster that doesn’t race?” Most of the time, Twisted Colossus

Intimidator 305 is my favorite coaster ever, I know people hate the positives on it, but I’m all for it, I love the intensity and ESPECIALLY THE SPEED. it’s insane. I love every second of the ride. Also I really like Woodstock xpress. I’m not ashamed to admit it at all. Also dominator is fun, and twisted Timbers is my number 2 overall and in the park. I love the airtime, but I love the speed and positives more of I-305. Also, grizzly is pretty rough, but I love the setting in the woods.

I305 is my favorite Coaster with Skyrush as a close #2.

the fact that you have 69k subscribers proves just how great this channel is.

Grizzly being an absolute trainwreck of a coaster is what makes it fun and gives it's personality. Absolutely one of the best night rides too.

The only family vlog I will watch.

I’ve been a fan of your channel for a couple years now. I took my first trip to KD yesterday and today. After watching your reviews of I305, I was worried it would be flat or something. Omg! Let me preface everything with this: I only have 64 credits up to this point. I’m 41 years old. But my God, I305 was clearly my #1 at KD. Above Twisted Timbers. I got 8 rides total on I305 and 5 rides on TT. The speed and intensity in the front row are just unmatched in my opinion ( it’s like what Millennium Force should be). I didn’t care for the back row at all. I thought there was way more airtime in the front car actually. And if I must say, this coaster isn’t about airtime. I know we all have our opinions about that, but I was blown away by this coaster.

Let’s see a video comparing/ranking all the gigas you’ve ridden. I know coaster studios did one, but still

I rode i 305 yesterday and it was too fun,glad u enjoyed it!

3:45 can't believe everyone fell off.

Rode I-305 for the first time last week…. Greyed out every time lol.

Looks like a decent park. Very well themed. I'd love to ride those coasters.

KD Is my home park, and I just went over the weekend. Wish I could've gotten up there when you are going! Glad you were able to get back here. Also, I305 closes literally all the time, every day I've been there this summer it's closed for a bit. Classic intamin

That Volcano replacement better be amazing.

Sophie’s personality is awesome lol , those 1 Wrd answers are killer 🤣… 💪🏾

I'm going back in a month. TT and I305 are beautiful

Yes another vlog video! These videos are awesome!!! Thanks for making these vlogs they really are fun to watch!

I went here last year and had an absolute blast. Just watching this vlog made me miss this park. It’s really pretty, has great coasters and I see a bright future for this park.

Just went there today and rode i305 for the first time. That ride is so good I just couldn't get enough of it. Everytime I looked at it, I wanted to go back on.

HOW TF IS SHE ALREADY AT 117

Very happy I get to ride i305 basically every week.

Kings Dominion is a very underrated park. I305 is my number 7 coaster.

8:26 is EVERYTHING. !teamSOPHIE

Great video! I enjoyed watching! Sophie's becoming an enthusiast!

Just rode it yesterday. I went like 8 times and it shocked me every time. I grayed out like half the times. I got a hat along the way. I have rode 5 Gigas and 305 is my favorite

KD is my home park. It feels weirdly empty without Volcano. Not just the ride, but the mountain itself. It was such a staple of the park even before it was Volcano.

Watching you struggle to not praise I305 is hilarious tbh I will say tho I305 warms up more than I expected. Just after opening it feels a bit "slow", as crazy as it is to say about I305

I went to Kings Dominion in June for my first time, every ride was a walk on and I rode every ride there, very fun park!

305 is definitely in my top 5, absolutely insane!!!! Love it!! Want it in my back yard!!!!

Its my number 4. Only coasters ahead of it are El Toro, Iron Gwazi and Steel Vengeance in that order. Yes i rank I305 higher than Velocicoaster and Pantheon

Welcome to the community Sophie!

This park is home to my best and worst credit. Great literally, but also great enthusiastically.

Chris I’ve loved how family friendly and perfect blend of humor your vlogs have. Def my favorite to watch of all the youtubers. Thanks for sharing these. Will you be checking out Cosmic Rewind on this trip? I think you’ll love it.

I rode skyrush last week and in line I thought about what you said about the restraints. I had no issue with them in fact skyrush is now my number 2 coaster behind steel vengeance. Can’t wait to go to kings dominion your daughter is a trooper mine just got over her coaster fear and she’s 16

It's awesome that your kids also get to enjoy the world of coasters.

Just went to this park for the first time last weekend. And intimidator is my new favorite coaster. It’s intense but I don’t find it as intense as most people say. It’s just fun, and so fast. Love how it gives you airtime just by turning you to the side. I wish it was closer and it was in a park that appreciated it more. This coaster should not be a no wait coaster most the time.

I went to kings dominion yesterday for the first time yesterday and oh my goodness Intimidator 305 has to be one of my favorite coasters I've ever ridden

This park was so packed last year. I was lucky to ride I305 and Twisted Timbers twice, and I missed both sides of Racer 75, Anaconda, and Woodstock

I305 is an experience. Too bad they don't really have any shirts... only junior size and some hats. A shirt is the best way to show off a credit of your favorite rides. Definitely need to try and go back in the coming weeks.

Those one word reviews are the best in the business. These family vlogs are just so heartwarming. My 3 year old is also named Sophie, and so far Firechaser express is her favourite coaster.

Cant wait for that new track on grizzly and the subtle changes down to the ground.

I'm so jealous. My back is keeping me from coasters this summer!!! Glad you and Sofie are having an amazing time. :)

Your girls are so cute! Amy has a credit I don't..lol. The Tower credit. The paint shaker being punched is a PERFECT metaphor for Grizzly! Omgosh that thing is an unlevel washing machine!👍

Buy or sell: Marineland in Niagara will close after the 2022 season and get bought by Herschend or Seaworld

FYI, they use to run 1 side of the Rebel Yell backwards later on, early 90s I believe. That was fun. You would have loved that.

These vlog videos are some of your best vids there so good

i305 looks like those crazy, "this would never be built" rollercoasters in cartoons

I don’t know if other people had this experience, but Dominator was the roughest B&M I’ve ever been on. It was like how other people seem to describe Scream.

I might be in the minority here but Inamins Gigas & Hypers always rank higher on my list than B&Ms. B&Ms are good but once you ride one B&M Hyper/Giga, you've pretty much ridden them all. Inatmin really knows how to make a one of a kind experience like I305. Its a top 5 for me for sure.

As always, great video. I appreciate your work. BTW, Amy is the cutest and I love Sophie's critique skills. Keep on killing it guys! With 💜 and jealousy from St. Louis.

Poor Anaconda. it doesn't deserve for Sophie to think it's worse than 80 rides she hasn't done yet. Also Grizzly is one of two coasters that I think broke my back. Just painful.

Need to go to that park sometime. Going on a 4 park tour soon. Adventurland, kings I, Indiana beach and finally lost Island. Can't wait to ride so.e bucket list coasters

If project 305 doesn’t make your top 50 then you must have a crazy list of coaster damn

9:11 As someone who rode Grizzly last year I can confirm

Managed a trip this weekend! I305 is insane. I've never been so breathless after a coaster. Twisted Timbers is a blast. Tumbili sucks lol. That's basically a Zipper on a track. What a vomitorium. 🤣

Grizzly is by far the roughest coaster I've ever been on. I cannot believe it's still allowed to run

I love watching your vids. Great work as always. One theme I noticed about watching amusement park vids on most channels in 2022 is "Walk-On". With that being said, I truly mean when I say this......Thank You Brandon" - the economy is keeping the GP away ♥️

Definitely put Sophie in all of your videos from now on

Seeing the giant blank space where Volcano used to be makes me weep. RIP. 😢

Hey airtime thrills! I’m the twisted Timbers guy you ran into that day with my friend. One of the coolest things that has ever happened to me at a theme park

Intmidator 305 is nuts, and I marathon it out the ear. I have had a few laps where I didn't gray out or black out. Twisted Timbers is a strong RMC and a great fit in any park. I will sometimes recite lines from Talladega Nights on I305, most commonly Shake and Bake.

I was there the same day as you and yeah there were literally no lines. Also I was that one awkward kid who said hi in the Apple Zapple Line lol.

It's been great seeing Sophie as she steps up to the bigger & crazier coasters. It will be Amy's turn before you know it. Regarding Grizzly, it's sad to see what's become of it. My rides in 2018 were fun rough. My 2021 rides were absolutely terrible. Good call not taking Sophie on it. I was just riding Twisted Timbers today, but not the one in Virginia. I tried to make believe that it was the one at Kings Dominion.

3:05 “they’re the same picture”

I’m really excited to see your video on Iron Gwazi

I went to Kings Dominion for a school music department trip, and I wasn’t aware of the locker situation at Twisted Timbers, and me and a couple others we were with were out of cash to pay for a locker so we didn’t get to ride :(

has amy said her first word yet i’ve never seen her talk before lol great vid can’t wait for the busch gardens tampa vlog

Oh man, Sophie is definitely pulling ahead of me come Six Flags over Georgia. I've got work to do.

Grain and Grill is so good, best theme park restaurant I've been to

Really awesome and fun vlog! You got me wanting to plan a trip here already- maybe in 2 years? Who knows

NOOOO OMG MY BGT PASSES EXPIRED THIS MONTH AND YOURE GOING THERE SOON😭😭😭 Love these vlogs though, I love your content and theme park vlogs in general so this is just awesome, keep up the great work :)

Great Video! I can’t wait to make it to KD next year, pretty excited to ride I305 and Twisted Timbers, they both looks absolutely amazing!

I'm glad that you had a fun time revisiting the park that you haven't been there for 4 years! Also, sorry that Intimidator didn't impress you after you ride on it! But look at the bright side, at least you went on the new roller coaster named Tumbili! By the way, your daughter Sophie had a fun time there!

I’m 14 and my credit count is 15. A kid younger than me has more than ten times my coaster count 🤣

Watching this after your Busch Gardens Williamsburg video, you really see how much nicer BG is. Not that there is anything wrong with KD, but man, BG is just such a nice park with a great atmosphere and coasters. KD has a lot of filler, while BG does not.

Tumbili, one car-ops

I’m with Sophie when it comes to Anaconda!!!😂🤣😂🤣

I love these vlogs themes and editing, defintly some of ur best and most enjoyable videos (not because some of ur videos aren't enjoyable) Love ur videos keep riding coasters🎢🎢🎢

I305 will always be my favorite. But the best I’ve done is SteVe it’s so hard trying to rank when it’s my fav but Ik it’s not the ebst

Dang it, i missed u at two parks in a row, first BGW and now Kings Dominion

anaconda is probably the most painfully funny steel track ride on the east coast

Kings Dominion were the scariest part is driving through the horrible parking lot! 🤣

I305 is the Most underrated coaster on this Planet imo

Do a Sophie top 15 coasters!

Very excited to take my daughter on her first coaster❤️ she’s 2 now so got a bit longer

I was there! So beyond hot that day

Glad you had a great day at KD! I agree about Twisted Timbers...it's an airtime machine! I rode Grizzly about 5 years ago and yes, it is almost unbearable. I'm curious as to your thoughts on it's cousin, "The Beast" at Kings Island? I just rode that one last week and I have to say it's still awesome. That ending helix is otherworldly! Keep up the great content!

My wife won't ride I305. My son likes to marathon it. I was half expecting Sophie to put it in her top 5 and you to still knock it, but ohhh well. Maybe next year.

I wanted to love Twisted Timbers; I really did. I absolutely love Twisted Cyclone. But TT hurts. I’m tall and a bigger guy, and it crushes my thighs. i305 is my favorite coaster on the planet.

A floorless used to be my #1. 2002-2006 (Medusa West). An SLC was my #1 for 6 months, but that's because it was my first large coaster. 😆

I missed this one, hmmmmm, I need to get to KD before my body is completely carbon fiber and rods. Great vid……I would love to get to your home park, did you say, dern, I forget, you told me one time.

i did it 10 times yesterday it was crazzyyyyy i got some rides with full trains they were CRAyzzyyzyyYYYYYYYYY

Totally agree with Grain Grill! I still can’t believe I was able to get steak and shrimp with my dining plan there

Grizzly is actually a solid wooden coaster now with the new retracking.

3:02 can’t wait for the day Amy is old enough to find this video

Honestly, I wanted to get there the following week, but I didn't have enough time, but I-305 will be something I will make a point to ride. People told me that BGW is a better choice, I was actually gonna pick KD for I-305 and finish off my US gigas, but BGW looks like a lot of fun
