Inexpensive Motorcycle Wheels

[NEWS] Trim Brakes on Drop Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominiom)

The novelty of the 2010 American Kings Dominion park, the coaster Intamin Giga 305 Intimidator, was recently slowed over the entire drop after the first reports by the guest who complained of "seeing black" right after the descent, probably due to the strong positive G-forces that were being developed.
I trim from the end of the fast lift up to about half drop, when the track begins to lean back to back horizontal to the ground.

As these reports may be true is rather pointless to install a coaster so impressive (90 meters ed), then stop it and then crush the feelings that the guest in theory should seek to climb up an attraction of this type.

Surely the G-forces were monitored carefully before opening the coaster, and passing the test, even without brakes were not harmful to the guests.
Unfortunately, sometimes to a park the only thing that matters is being able to show off a coaster that has impact only on a visual level and at the U.S. parks are masters, see Millennium Force at Cedar Point.
