Intimidator HD POV Carowinds (RENAMED)

- This is a Front Row - HD POV - of The Intimidator hyper roller coaster at Carowinds in North and South Carolina. Thanks for watching TheCoasterViews.
The licensing agreement to use the Intimidator nickname from the Earnhardt estate expired in December 2023. As a result, Intimidator was renamed Thunder Striker and the section of the park was named Thunder Road (sound familiar?) in recognition of the area's connection to stock car racing.

Best ride at Carowinds hands down. This ride has so much airtime. The most exciting part is hearing "gentlemen.. start your engines!" at 0:52 before being lifted slowly to greatness.
I went in August. Omg I did it and fury and passed out on both. Fury was a lot worse but both were fun!!
Fury better cry about it
@@themonodoe8184 Sounds like you're the one crying just because someone else expressed a different opinion
@@KHCoasterKid Kinda ka second best coaster cry about it
I rode Fury 325 like 2-3 weeks ago,And it was fun!! Best ride ever!
I remember me and my mom rode this. It was our first roller coaster we went in at Carowinds. And since I typically react well to drops I was like, “OK, THIS LOOKS GOOD!!” I’m still in the middle of regret and love
I have a question, how tall do u have to be to ride it? I mean how tall where u?
@@yashicapatel4248 when I first went on it I was 10 and just on the height minimum, I’m still only 11 but the height minimum is 54 in. so I went on it at 54 in. :)
Like or comment if you want to ride Intimidator !
TheCoasterViews What day is it? Hump Day!! To many camel humps in this ride for me. Gives me nausea. But the opening drop looks hella fun. Sweet video though
TheCoasterViews road the intimidator
TheCoasterViews
What if you rode it? Can I not like it?
TheCoasterViews I throw up on it

I loved this ride, it’s like a mini version of the fury. But more smooth
Imo I found the fury smoother than the imtimidator
Mmm I think fury is smoother IMO it’s just the drop that’s insane on fury
fury is smoother, but this one is just special to me because its the first time I greyed out
Fury would be more enjoyable if that first drop didn't knock your breath back into your lungs.
the only reason the fury was more rough for me was because since there wasn't preferred seating on the fury, we were put in the very back. the indimidator we rode the front
I remember going on this ride 4 times in a row during my 7th grade field trip to Carowinds :)
Try 16 times in 4th grade
@@ashermossburg9385 try 32 times in second grade i was a big boy
Then I rounded itup went 64 times in 1st.
Then that wasn't enough I went 128 times in kindergarten and I still wasn't done
I then proceeded to break all record for longest Weiner on a baby ever recorded.. nothing to do with rollercoasters 🎢
I went today there are so many bracelets and hairties on the roof haha
My sister told me about that lol
It's like that at Woodstock Express!
don't forget the glasses from plants vs zombies
Same as Woodstock express
Ikr!
Im going tomorrow was it fun?
This looks like a really nice ride, but it gets hardly any attention because of I-305 and Fury 325. I think it has tighter elements than most B&M hypers. Lots of airtime.
Your right
This is more of a croud pleaser than I305
I was shocked at how short the lines were wen I first rode I305. I love the intensity of of i305, but I love the airtime of intimidator at Carowinds!! Fury still tops em all! Iron Gwazi in Tampa is a must ride tho
@@CJKeyz86 I rode I305 for the first time today and it was a walk on
@@onlyguy_ I305 is always a walk on
OMG the actual best thing about this ride is the smaller drops where you come out of your seat. I’m a sucker for rollercoasters 😍 just went on the fury 325 for the first time yesterday and it was the best thing EVER!!!
Same it was fun
those are called ejector airtime hills
@@freshbeansejector? I would say floater but whatever FLOATS your boat man
@@AyrtonSennaDaSilvaTheGOAT it's ejector, I was in my roller coaster nerd phase trust me
My husband and I took our daughter to Carowinds as a graduation gift this year, my husband was too tall for the seat so I had to get on it. I didn't want to, but I did. I felt so set up because we had the FRONT SEATS! It was hot as Satan's ass crack that day, I feel that I have benefited from getting some cool breeze. Every twist and turn, I felt like I was going fly out of the seat. It was fun but never again
How could your dad be too tall for the seat how tall was he
in my opinion..this is the scariest ride...you have nothing to hold on too, i had to find a small comfort in reaching my arm behind my seat, holding one arm to the back..and it seems like it never ends.. drop after drop..i have never been this scared..i really thought i was going to die!! it felt as if i was being thrown off a tall tall building over and over again..i was so shook that i couldnt ride anything else!! its very intense!!
camee michelle Omg I felt the same fucking way as you did, I wonder if we were both there.
Have you ridden the Intimidator 305? Not so scary as it is ruthlessly violent and painful. Only 2 coasters in the country are savage enough that I wouldn't recommend them, 305 and El Toro.
I had the same feeling. We went to fury after we got on this one and I was sitting on the seat ready to go but couldn't do it. I told them to get me off. I just couldn't do it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack 😂
camee michelle exactly cuz I’m like used to me holding on to something
use your legs to hold on to the seat.
The difference in the voice lines at the beginning of this and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion that says “Gentlemen, start your engines!” basically describes the difference between the two rides themselves.
Man that take off going up the hill? On the I 305? That sets the mood to the whole ride. Lol
My husband made me ride this ride when we visited Carowinds the second time we went there. It was the first ride we got on and once it was over I was kind of mad at him because I'm afraid of heights and he's always making me get on the biggest rides.
I need your honest answer to this question, was going up the lift hill scary? And was the drops scary?? I'm being convinced to ride this tommorow with some friends that love big coasters like this size. And I keep telling them no lol. He said on Fury, if you sit in the front, thr drop is not bad at all, cuz it stalls before you go down and you're halfway down the drop
I'm scared of heights too.
@@GamerGirl_BRE i went for the 2nd time on the fury w/ my daughter last night. It goes so fast its honestly kind of a blur. We were in the front. And I actually never closed my eyes this time. But I'm not sure if I watched the direction of the drop the whole time. We went during the night time.
It's all about height. A hyper coaster must be at least 200 feet tall. B&M calls these rides hyperccoasters while Intamin, another major coaster manufacturer, calls them mega coasters. A giga coaster is a roller coaster that stands at least 300 feet tall. A strata coaster is at least 400 feet tall.
Responding to an old comment, but what would a 500 foot coaster be classified as?
@@stevenstice6683 No such coaster exists yet, so they don't have a name.
Not even in theory?
@@stevenstice6683 No. At least, no official term.
All strata coasters are giga coasters and hypercoasters, but not all gigas are stratas. Same with gigas, all gigas are hypers but not all hypers are gigas.
Dale was such a king, this is a great tribute to a legend
Wait till you see what Kings Dominion did with theirs.
She is so beautiful! Love her reactions. You capture what these coasters are really like.
I went on it last year. It was my first. Though it was a small, simple ride. I couldn't make any type of noise, I just had a blank face the entire ride. Then I thought it was a great idea to ride Fury
this is me on probally the elmo ride
fuck instagram comedians heck. I rode the *Fury 325* as my first ever
fury 325 and copperhead strike is awesome.
Good Lord, Intimidator and Fury 325 BACK TO BACK?! Color me impressed.
Hands down. My favorite roller coaster. Period.
Holy moly I can feel the airtime and G force from here! That looks like a really fun coaster. Shame that America doesn't really give coasters a lot of theming. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of well rounded coasters in the USA but it's sad to see so many big coasters where the theme is "look how tall it is...we painted it blue aswell"
Holly O. This coaster does have theme, it is devoted to a famous American race car driver named Dale Earnhardt :)
That's the difference between a theme park and an amusement park. Theme parks are self explanatory. All the rides are about theming and tell stories (ex. Disney or Universal). Amusement parks are about height, speed, and thrills (ex. Cedar Fair or Six Flags parks).
Yeah but it's really fun doe
It is fun I been on it. The first drop was scary tho
:/ yeah fr. It's themed after Nascar, or the famous ppl who make it what it is. I dont think it gets any more American than that. Or at least southern... I may have watched races up north but didn't know why I watched. Now that I've been in the south for half of my life, I still don't really get it. But I know I can't avoid it bc it's such a big thing out here, u can somehow even be associated w/ it w/ out even trying. The workers, the associates, the fans, they're everywhere! Sometimes even around ur n.hoods or ur friends n.hoods. And ppl from all over come to watch it! It's not honestly something I'm big on but I know they put funds into (that I know of) a hospital, the children's part. So, thats kind of cool. Idk exactly how that works tho... I saw 1 of the Earnhardts on MTV cribs, so I think hes somewhere near by in nc. And there's exits named after them. But that's as far as my knowledge goes on that. I can put respeck on it, lol, I just dont simply know much about Nascar. But the rides absolutely amazing tho. Once u do let go of ur fear it gives you a feeling that's so freeing. Like I really conquered that sh & was brave. I think I can do alotta things now... or, how many ppl can say they were up that high. It's almost spiritual.
Went yesterday. That ride and the fury are my 2 favs in the entire park. So fun
I’m scared of heights so when my friend made me ride this I cried the entire ride
In that case you really are your username. Jk lol.
I caught a cramp the first time I rode 😂
@@2turnt0ngng ahaha 😂😂😂 ngl I was
yeah i was super scared cos my sister forced me but it ended up being kinda fun my eyes were closed the whole time though
Omg I was around 7 and the Woodstock express I rode it and I was crying it was so funny because I watched the video a few days ago and now I’m riding every coaster haha I bet I would cry of fury too LOL
This ride was so fun 😂 the drops were terrifying to me but fun! I rode this like three times in a row lol.
0:42 LMAO 😂 The dude is so funny
Yes he forgot to take his seat belt off before getting off the ride
I rode on this ride and it is AMAZING!!! IT IS SO FUN!
Besides the fact that I closed my eyes the whole time I liked this ride
l LLOOOVVVEE this ride!!!
I my opinion intimidator is one of the weaker b&m hypers because every time I ride the trims are full on oh and we cannot forget that dying man stuttering gentlemen start your engines
I like this ride but I really love the fury, on both rides when you go down you lift out of your seat and it’s sooooo fun
when you “lift out of your seat” that is called airtime! :)
see the shoe on the roof at 2:58? it's still there lmao
not anymore
i went yesterday, and now its just a bunch of hairties and bracelets

@@blazedbatty it's got 6 pair of glasses from plants vs zombies also.
@@davemustaine6694 that must be new lol its been a year since I've been
@@blazedbatty they just been on there this year.
i love this ride so much! my friend group convinced one of my best friends to ride this when she's scared of rollercoasters and im really excited for her to ride it the next time we go, the other ones ive taken her on shes enjoyed so hopefully she likes this one too
Thank you for this video helped me get over my fear
I went on this totally my favorite ride.
One of the most intense rides at this park I’d still say the nighthawk was more scary tho
I went to carowinds today and my heart left my soul like 70 times
yeah, its scary because of its insane roughness,
The nighthawk is pretty fun once you go on it a few times
I was terrified of roller coasters and went here with my girlfriend during a school trip (Beta club??). And the first right when we entered the park was nighthawk so we got in line. I was doing great, acting like I was fine with it. Then, when I'm so far into the line there's no going back, I see the chairs lean back so that you're going backwards and towards your head. AND THEN IT FLIPS. WTF???
Are you kidding me I had a huge freak out attack after I went off the nighthawk and was gonna get on this so you’re telling me it wasn’t as scary 😦
Awesome Intimidator POV! :)
Goliath Conquerer Me too (same with Fury 325)!
BryceFourn 2001 Goliath Conquerer If Y'all ride it sit in the middle or row 3 for the best airtime in the back and front you're barely getting any air time in my opinion.
i have been on this ride so many times😂fun fact this was my first ever actual roller coaster
isabella cats I’m going to ride this in a month is it scary??
Arizona19_Art no not really I went on this ride the summer of last year of it’s hecka fun if you want more thrills try the Fury 325 while your there
@@kujakubes241 Fury325 was my very first ride at Carowinds and loved it can't wait to ride it again soon
I will never get on this again. I went on it a couple of days ago and thought I was going to die! I couldn't even do Fury. I'm probably done with rollercoasters thanks to this ride. Nope. Never again
Jacqueline Priester ur a pussy
@@douggimmedome124 no he’s not he just didn’t like feeling like he was gonna die that’s ok
this is my favorite roller coaster
Although they do have stick on wind shields if your using the built-in mic on the camera helps with the high pitch wind noise
I rode this today and was balling my eyes out the whole time.
I really miss riding coasters. Before my health wouldn't allow me anymore, I got to ride the Intimidator right after it was built. My all time favorite ride. I really wish I could still ride it as well as Fury 325.
Most intense air time ride I’ve ever been on. Non stop action on this one.
I’ve been at this ride before with my parents and almost cried lol but it was so much fun
*very pleasant wind noises*
Top one favorite ride!

Today I went to carowind with my family for my birthday and it was my first roller coaster. I was screaming and praying 😂
I can't wait to go to Carowinds in yes the coasterviews
Nice!
The air time on this coaster is bad ass came to carowinds from balitmore maryland and had a blast .
my friends and i stayed until really late one time and they didn’t make us get off so we ended up riding it like 15 times in a row
omg
Exciting!
One time I was at SFNE and I was waiting in line for Batman the dark knight and I sat in the back row so I could see the people behind me and there’s just this girl on the train behind us lighting a cigarette and she got kicked out of the park 😂😂😂
Despacidont I guess she really enjoyed herself if she needed a cigarette afterwards. If you know what I mean. Lmao!
I love this coaster. To me it’s better than Fury, which is also pretty damn awesome.
232 feet tall, 211-foot, 74 degree drop, 75 mph, what more could you want?
+Theodore Young That's true ;D
Diamondback is what I want
Tony Kim Fury 325
305 ft drop, 95 MPH, 87 degrees, that's millennium force.
+Trains, Music, And More 1. Fury is better. And it's in the same park. Don't try to argue with that 2. Millennium force has a 300 foot drop
See the thing about this is the slow right up the hill. Im not a fan of heights but I love Rollercoaster. The reason I prefer I305 of this one is the take off. It gets you up that hill quick so no time for me to get in my own head but I've never been to Carowinds. Its definitely going on the list of places to go. I need to get on this and the Fury
I went to carrowinds once and I rode this ride and it's a 10/10!
Can't wait going in may
Intimidator at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina USA 🇺🇲 Randy West One My Favorite Roller Coaster at Carowinds.
Home state ride pride here. Fury and the Intimidator are both awesome, but I think the Intimidator is somehow more thrilling than Fury, whether it was meant to be that way or not. It seems faster and more wild.
I remember riding this and it scared me to death that my friend had to carry me off the ride
Does anyone know how steep the lift hill is?
This is one of my favorite rides. For me, when we got up, i was like "MOM, NO. NO NO NO WHY THERES NO GOING BACK!" Then, we went down. My eyes were closed 80% of the time, but it was very fun.
Just kidding I didnt even go on it because my body wont allow me to.
this was my first roller coaster i ever rode at 13, no i'm not kidding LMAO
This ride was a great way to pay tribute to Dale’s legacy.
I love this place! my favorites would have to be Fury and Afterburn🥰
Yes the afterburn is so underrated!
@@jackhughes5556 afterburn made me hit my arm like 8 times cos i was holding on so tight LOL it was sore for like a day or two
@@noemilita1354 yeah some of the coasters are rough tbh lol but it is like 20 years old so that may be why😂
I rode this and fury 2 years or like 3 years ago so fun
I remember when I went on the cyclone for the second time my seat belt was not clicking in properly so all I had was the thing thats on your chest I survived but it still scares me to this day and I have not rode cyclone since then
I’m going on this in a week is it good
this ride looks fun
I wanna go on this so bad!!
The last time I rode this ride, my lap bar didn’t lock, so I had to hold on for dear life in my seat…
The back looks like it would give you some Great ejector air time before the trims
it does
@@davemustaine6694 OH SHIT IT’S THE ONE AND ONLY DAVE MUSTAINE 🤘
I miss that ride because I can’t ride it because I fractured my wrist but the exciting thing is I’m going to get my cast off tomorrow
This was my very first roller coaster ride ever yesterday.
Raged Pineapple I’m going in a month any advice for a non coaster person
Arizona19_Art hang on tight
Raged Pineapple just rode it today I screamed and my heart dropped on the hills
Yes I wanna ride it
What's the difference between giga mega and hyper coaster?
heitor Cotosky Giga is chain driven
Michaela Hutton No it just has to be between 300 and 400 feet
Giga= 300-400 feet. Hyper= 200 feet. Mega= nobody gives a crap.
I been on this ride to but it is my second favorite ride ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is your favorite?
Fury 325 is my favorite ride
I WANNA GO ON IT SO BAD!!!😆

I was crying on the ride
Me too
I cried on this lol
It is pretty intense and intimidating.
I was crying the first time i went on the intimatedator
Ejector airtime or floaty airtime?
27JDub27 floaty air time and lots of it.
how tall is this ride? 100 feet?
Tell me about intermediator
I rode this and it was fun
I was today years old when I discovered kings dominion wasn’t the only park with intimidator LOL
The drop was hard for me LOL
Was screaming for Jesus the entire ride today lol
Omg! Your in north carolina😃
Glitter Shark it is half North Carolina and half South Carolina
Glitter Shark *You’re
@@Metalhead_Coaster_Fan Wow
@@michaelahutton843 actually the intimidator is entirely in sc.
for this one he is in sc.
I went on this thing 6 times at night when it was about to close
This hurts your back so much i swear 😂
it was so fun I put my hands up on the drop and I felt like i was floating
We’re going today and maybe tomorrow I’m going to try to ride it I’ve been wanting to ride for the longest time my fear over rules me
Is intimidator same thing as fury 325??
Same manufacturer and similar models, but different experiences. This has more of an airtime focus, while Fury has more of a focus on speed.
i went to carowinds before watching dis im glad i didnt go on the fury i was not even tall enough
there are bracelets on the metal roof that I guess the people at Carawinds picked up.
I went today omg it was so fun but the drop was kinda scary ngl
i went on this for my first ever rollercoaster ride when it was my friends bkrthday. i had to use the bathroom. how i held it i have no clue. like omg i didn’t know it was the intimidator since i’m too dumb to read large signs. like dang.
I thought this ridde was boring. Then we got a back seat ride. Holt spit.
