Carowinds New Coaster (Intimidator)

Recommended Posts

From what it looks like to me, it's nearly identical to Apollo's Chariot - I'm betting it's better since it's newer. Supposed to last over 3 1/2 minutes - for a roller coaster, that's a long time.

Still though, Busch Gardens is a destination - Carowinds, just a fun day.

AC may be old, but it's still awesome. LOL

Yeah, I'm really not supposed to ride coasters. That's the only reason I think we'll stick with BGW. There's so much more for me to do when the family rides the coasters. I will still get on AC, though.

Other than Disney, it's one of the most beautiful parks. We've never been and not been able to ride the coasters back to back. Last year, we rode AC several times in a row. Well, I made it twice, everyone else rode it several more times. Same for Griffon. Only things with a line were Big Bad Wolf (cause they're tearing it town/have torn it down) and Curse of Dark Castle.

I really want to go back to Island of Adventure. The new Harry Potter world looks fantastic.

Went to Cedar Point, Ohio last summer, and the Top Thrill Dragster is by far the most awesome roller coaster I've ever been on. That park is one of the best in the United States, if not the. Yet, I haven't been to Carowinds in a while so I take it it has improved? I'd hope so being that they're owned by the same company.

really? You liked Top Thrill better than Millennium Force? Top Thrill was fun yeah but it was short and Millennium Force was intense the whole ride.

We were so close to Cedar Point summer before last. My bro had been in a bad accident, so we had to come home asap from a rally in Michigan. We had planned to spend a day at the park, but alas it was not to be. Now I can't even ride the damned coasters there. Apollos Chariot is pushing it for me nowadays.

Yeah but you go straight up like 400 feet and you're going so fast, it's just nuts. Though, i did ride Millennium Force numerous times.

The worst is when you're sitting there waiting to be shot off at 120 mph, the suspense is crazy haha

You must be a Goldrusher or Scooby Doo type....:D

If you can handle Thunder Road or the Hurler then you can handle this little contraption!!! :cool:

I despise Thunder Road and the Hurler. I prefer to get through the day without whiplash and a severe headache thank you. They are not the least bit thrilling, just jerky (I don't like Scooby Doo either for the jerk factor). But I most definitely can do this Intimidator and love the Borg (I can never remember what they call it now).

My cell phone fell out of my pocket last year while I was on the Borg and would you believe that that found it. The battery and the back cover was gone and it definitely showed signs of a serious beating, but when I got a new battery, it worked.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
