You have to remember that the ride needs to be a success with the general public, not just the enthusiasts.

Is it smooth and long?

I think it's time to point out that even with these trims, this ride is still probably the best ride at King's Dominion, still probably better than the other Intimidator, and still probably better than most rides in the USA.

We already had a small (and desperate) discussion in the Coaster Longest Thread.
I'm glad they switched over, just 10 days until I ride it again.

This is kind of the wrong thread, but this means that it will be built by Intamin?

I personally hope they will change the restrains on Maverick to straps too.

^^Can't see that happening as Maverick is less of a giant to work with. Though it has problems with breaking down, the guest feedback is probably much better than Timmy's was in the pre-trim era.
I can't wait to try out these new restraints next time I go. Could improve the ride even with the trims...

Like I said in the Longest Thread. I305 is amazing. The straps are great, and I didn't even feel the trim bite. Rode very back, very front, and the 2 other times were just where the line was shortest. And it had prett much the shortest line in the park (5 minutes) except for front which was 30. Actually 1 hour and 20 minutes because it broke down while we were in line.
Full TR to come soon.
