According to the RCDB page:
“ | When the Intimidator 305 opened it claimed a top speed of 94 mph. Changes made to the ride in the first few months of operation limit it's speed to 79.5 mph. | ” |
I do recognise that the ride once reached the speed of 94 mph but, in its current operations, the ride can only reach 79.5 mph. Rather than just reverting my edit, please post a comment here as to the reasoning behind why the page should state 94 mph. An infobox should display the statistics that are displayed on the RCDB page because it is a reliable source used for articles across the world. Themeparkgc ( talk) 06:49, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
“ | When the Intimidator 305 opened it advertised a top speed of 94 mph. Changes made to the ride in the first few months reduced this and now "in excess of 90 miles per hour" is the advertised speed. This site previously listed the speed at 79.5 mph based on information from a very reliable source. This source has however since stated the 79.5 mph was a typo and 89.5 mph was the intended speed.
By way of comparison, the Millennium Force at Cedar Point has a 300' drop -- the same as the Intimidator 305. The Millennium Force advertises a top speed of 93 mph. This would mean the additional braking added to the Intimidator 305's first drop reduce the speed by no more than 3 mph -- enthusiasts who have ridden the ride before and after find this hard to believe. Another comment made is that the Intimidator 305 initially went in excess of the intended 94 mph speed. This too is hard to believe as mathematically an object in freefall in a frictionless environment can only achieve 94.7 mph after a 300' drop. There are clearly some shenanigans going on here, but by who and by how much has yet to be determined. |

Intimidator 305. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Intimidator 305 is 5,100 ft (1,554 m) long, 305 ft (93 m) tall, has a first drop of 300 ft (91 m) at 85 degrees, has a top speed of about 94 mph (151 km/h), and has a ride time of three minutes. [1] I believe that Intimidator 305 goes 90 mph (145 km/h). Who is right? 208.59.132.152 ( talk) 00:41, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

I think the page move was premature. Are there any verifiable sources that indicate that I-305 is actually getting a name change? It looks to me like there are some changes coming and those changes are currently known as Project 305, but that it is nothing more than a project. It seems like a very unlikely name for a coaster. Other than a page on KD's website, are there verifiable sources that the coaster is getting renamed to "Project"? —JlACEer ( talk) 17:11, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
