They deserve a new coaster soon. And they don’t deserve to keep getting rid of their rides.

Other fan boards have mentioned that Intimidator 305 was blowing through wheels like they were going out of style and perhaps this new profiling is also due to the park not wanting to pay so much for wheels (However, I don’t understand how the cost of replacement wheels would justify the cost of designing and manufacturing entirely new track).

Great point! I’ll go ahead and add in Knight Valley.

As for Dorney Park, be greatful you guys are lucky enough to be getting a ride. My home park is losing a coaster, and hasn’t gotten a new coaster in a decade!

They have started testing, I believe. Either way, great post! Thanks for keeping us informed on everything that is going on.

And like Awsomedude said, yay for Dorney! Would have liked a GCI or a different type of woodie, but this does! Can’t wait to ride it in the near future.

I also find it interesting that they had to re-profile 305. Has there ever been another ride that needed so much work due to it being THAT intense?
