Incredible ride. Those were the first over-the-shoulder restraints that didn't cause head trauma. Ingenious design with the soft straps instead of the brutal plastic-covered metal. I believe they were needed considering the speed and intensity of this coaster, especially with the airtime on those camel humps. The ride itself defies adequate description. That was the biggest and best endorphin/adrenaline rush I've ever experienced on any of the hundreds of coasters I've ridden.

Bravo, Intamin!

This ride was awsome. It was the first coaster that I nearly blacked out on. The first drop is gnarly and all the turns are sweet too. Shoulder restraints weren't too bad but the air people are talking about isn't all that. El Toro in NJ was ALOT more air. I kinda feel like Toro is the wooden version of this ride. Intimidator was pretty darn good. Went on 20 coasters from OC to K.Dominion to 6 Flags in the last week and was for sure my 2nd fav. Love kings dominion atleast when we went because there were like NO LINES. can't beat waiting 10 minutes for a brand new coaster. Looking forward to Cedar Point in the next month or so…..Will compare after M. Force is conquered.

the reason they have the OTS restraints is becuase after the first hill, the first turn has 5Gs…I greyed out…and alot of people blacked out. If your body goes limp from blacking out you could be seriously injured if you just have a lap bar and your body is unreponsive…so personally I appreciate the safety thoughts. You still get plenty of airtime on the first drop as well as the smaller hills even with the OTS bars.

The roller coaster is dedicated to Dale Earnhardt, the famous Nascar racer who died about 6 years ago, and that was on the front of his car, and with these new restraints, don't worry about banging your head, you only get to bang up your neck instead and get extreme whiplash on the turns, how exciting!

To answer that question, Quil, I just ran into a stroke of good luck. My uncle and cousins gave me an e-ticket for a Carowinds season pass next year! With my other uncle getting me on I305 on Opening Day at KD, I may get to ride both within two days of their openings! This is gonna be SWEET!

It's I232, and yes, I will be able to ride it, that is if I can afford a ticket or season pass.

CFC, Cariwons is your home park right, so will you be able to ride I323?
