Check out these descriptions of the new Dale Earnhardt-themed roller coasters planned for King’s Dominion in Virginia and at Carowinds and try to make sense of them:
Intimidator will be the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in the Southeast. This massive attraction with stand 232-feet tall at its highest peak; send riders plunging down a 211-foot first drop at a 74-degree angle and then race along 5,316-feet of track at speeds in excess of 75 MPH!
And now:
Intimidator 305 … will be the tallest and fastest roller coaster of its type on the East Coast. The lift hill will stand a towering 305 feet at its highest peak; descend 300 feet at an 85 degree-angle and thunder along the track at speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour during its three minute race to the finish.
So which is which? And is Virginia no longer part of the Southeast? Or is that North Carolina is not on the East Coast? In any event, King’s Dominion is getting the bigger, taller, faster coaster. You can read more about it all here — or go back and read Meck Deck from last week.
