The little kid behind you in the very last row of i305 is my hero 😂 Living his BEST life, hands up and he didn’t black out once!

I don’t get it 😭 I’m 25 and I refuse to ever ride that thing

[@CatsAreKindaCool]

Some people have a better tolerance and are less hesitant to do things.

[@MPHshoots]

Get on it dude! I’m so jealous of all the people who have this in their home park. My home park is carowinds so I get well over 200 rides on fury every year.

[@cartermon_]

it’s fun

[@jarebear4320]

Appreciate the cameo at 3:15. Happy to always be in the background walking away from the camera

[@jlvannat]

I305 DEFINITELY has airtime. That first hill had me out of my seat for what felt like forever. Glad y’all had fun.

[@thefrenchcommander5770]

And the speed turns give you crazy lateral airtime

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

I traveled all the way from Australia to ride it and it didnt dissappoint. Easily my number 1 coaster. It was hot af Park was absolutely empty thing was hauling and i just lapped it all day long laughing every time into the brake run. What a masterpiece

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

That was fun! As a 40+year-old coaster enthusiast, I try to keep riding them to keep my body used to it, so we can keep riding til we're old old. I-305 was the only one that really fucked me up when I rode it in 2021, but I think I was also dehydrated and it was crazy hot (I always heard everyone like "I greyed out!" and I would call bullshit - UNTIL I rode it!). I'd try it again on a cooler day. Twisted Timbers was just awesome (and we rode later in the day). And not to make me sound old, but the first time I went to KD, half of Racer/Rebel Yell ran backwards and that backwards out-and-back woodie was the greatest sensation ever. I really wish parks would run their old woodies backwards cuz it's just awesome. (And also, having just been back to Hershey, I can't decide whether Wildcat or Twisted is better either.)

[@Zatoka.]

I honestly don't think anything has a chance of beating I305 for me. It is EXACTLY what I look for in a ride. It's just perfect. I passed out my first ride, like fully passed out. Insane.

[@haydfors]

Is that not scary to you?

[@BlueZirnitra]

​@@haydforsWhy should it be scary? I little unconsciousness isn't gonna kill you. You do it every night for like 8 hours.

[@haydfors]

@@BlueZirnitra I mean I ain’t scared but

[@Muswell]

​@@BlueZirnitra Erm . . No . . That's called sleeping. Very different from passing out. You must never be sitting upright if you faint -- you have to get the blood back to the head or it can be very serious.

[@KingTito-mg8bn]

​@@MuswellStill not dangerous since it doesn't last very long

[@jhjansenhtpc]

Rode I305 several times on our visit last July, including an awesome night ride. On one ride my son had a total G-LOC, that lasted from first turn to the 2nd airtime hill.

[@gravitythrills5414]

I live in the east coast, I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the rides. Also thanks for the content! 😃

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you so much!

[@zacdavid184]

Beefcake Jesiah returns. Kings Dominion has a great lineup but damn do I miss Volcano.

[@pschmidty5]

Man this is just such a great, likable crew. Even if it was just you and Josiah. The more content you can crank out with these cats the better.

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you! We all appreciate it 🙌🏻

[@SaltyTea414]

Great video as always!

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@michael7054]

Great video! Great to see you had a great time! Looking forward to the BGW Vlog! This park does have an awesome collection of coasters!

[@MattMcCoasters]

My 2nd home park. Don’t get me wrong i305 is a great ride but my 40 year old body can only do it a few times. 😂 5 was my limit last time.

[@mesetaplays]

I rode i305 for the first time ever this year, and it is far and away my favorite coaster ever built. ive been riding coasters for 20+ years and nothing (in america at least) comes close.

[@Paolo8772]

You did blackout twice in the back seat of I 305 selfie vid; the 1st between between 13:25 and 13:27 and the second was a three second blackout you had between 13:54 and 3:57. I wish I could afford a third trip three timezones away in one year because Kings Dominion is the best Cedar Fair park I've not yet been to and I've already done that twice this spring from Surrey B.C. Canada in greater Vancouver; one to Carowinds and the other to Kings Island. I'll get a day or two at California's Great America for my 1st time during the 1st weekend of November if I'm lucky. Thanks for posting!

[@adammills8087]

Finally got my first ride (of 12 rides throughout the day) on Project 305 yesterday, and I was immediately addicted. It is now my #1 coaster, pushing Iron Gwazi out of that spot. I can't say enough about how unbelievably incredible Project 305 is. I go on and on about how much I love coasters that are relentless, aggressive, insane, intense -- well, Project 305 is the Grand Master of all those things. It's such a great ride no matter where you sit -- but ultimately, I did like it best in the front row. I agree with you about how people say there is no airtime on Project 305 -- I don't understand this since I got insane amounts of airtime on all the airtime hills -- and I even got plenty of floater airtime on the first drop. By the end of the day yesterday, I had to finally stop myself from jumping back on it, so that I wasn't continuing to delay getting on the road to my next destination. Now, I can't wait to go back to the Kings Dominion in the fall or spring. Yesterday certainly made up for my trip to the park in 2023 when I-305 was closed. And in general the park was a completely different experience this time around - so much to the point that it's now my favorite Cedar Fair Park. I loved Twisted Timbers before yesterday, but now I love it even more -- and it moved up in my rankings of RMC's and coasters in general. I really liked The Grizzly a lot (it was closed as well on my visit in 2023). I thought it was a lot of fun, with a good layout and incredibly smooth -- and I love how it is encompassed by woods. As much as I previously liked Dominator, I like it even more after yesterday's ride. I believe in the past I made a mistake in saying to others that I liked Rougarou a little more than Dominator -- I realized yesterday that I had that backwards. Anyway, I'm so glad that I finally got to experience Project 305 -- it had been my #1 bucket list coaster in the US for a while -- and now, it sits comfortably as my #1 coaster.

[@quazazero]

WAKE UP EVERYONE COASTER DASH JUST POSTED!!!

[@LittlePotatoRoll]

When will the "wake up etc etc" end 😫

[@alxsles]

love the vlogs

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks!

[@smurray8254]

Back row I305 at night is the best. The whip over the top into the drop is incredible.

[@RigbyJonathan]

I have just rid dominator yesterday, removing most fear of my coasters, my 2 best friends have forced me to go on SOO many coasters and I thank them for getting rid of that fear, dominator was so fun to me, but we didn’t have any time to do intimidator after, I hear from them you black about sometimes and it gives you tunnel vision, but I know they lie a lot about things.

[@BlueZirnitra]

You do black out on it. The evidence is in this video. The guy filming the video completely loses consciousness several times and Josiah looks to lose it a bit too.

[@RigbyJonathan]

@@BlueZirnitra thanks for confirming, now I want to know how it feels.

[@AdrenalinePeaks]

Saw the Go pro and walked the other direction 3:16

[@huntzzio]

This is my #1 bucketlist ride and I really hope someday I could get out to ride it. Probably not anytime soon. Wish I were you! Haha, great blogs

[@eddienhp]

I gotta say, you and your friends did go on the biggest and most intense coaster ever! I never ridden on it, but I'll doubt that I might give it a try!

[@randihotlin]

Another excellent video from you! I visited here my 1st time a week prior and yes, I305 is incredible!

[@CoasterDash]

thank you 😆

[@lewisfinkiv3744]

I-305 is also my number 1 I love it so much the grey out into that massive ejector hill is pure bliss

[@305CoastersOfficial]

Project 305 is Definitely My #1 Coaster. Nothing tops its intensity, Airtime, and Overall Rode Experience

[@andyroman8223]

Im susprised that people hate so much on i305. People say it is all turns and no airtime, but it probably has better airtime than any B&M hyper, and it has so many amazing forces. Its such a well rounded ride and I prefer it over SteVe.

[@jamesm7517]

Jeez it's been forever since I have been to Kings Dominion. Last time I was there I rode Hypersonic XLC and Volcano. Really need to get back there and see if I get the grey or black out effects. I love to push the g force envelope. Maybe I will try next year. Great vlog as always Marc.

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you! You definitely should plan a revisit.

[@Aerolandaircraft]

Bro's doing it better than two full grown enthusiasts!

[@Ultiminite69423]

I am very glad to have the most intense coaster in my state

Such a great park! I305 was a great ride and one of our favorites of this year. What are you filming your POV with? We have been wanting to do that.

[@coasterconfusion305]

My favorite KZbinrs at my favorite park riding my #1 coaster 😎

[@kd9lac803]

Getting this one in a few days... we'll see if it can unseat TT2 as my top coaster Update: nope, TT2 is still my top, followed by Fury 325 and then this. But they're all neck-and-neck. They're all top-tier coasters, and if 305 were a little longer, I'd have definitely put this as my number 2.

[@adammills8087]

I-305 seems like one of my soulmate roller coasters -- with my love for relentless, intense and aggressive roller coasters -- and it has the incredible height and insane speed too, which I love on a coaster as well. Unfortunately, on my first trip to Kings Dominion back in March, I-305 was closed all day (and until an undisclosed date), which certainly did have a strong negative impact on my day at the park since I-305 was the main reason I had gone to Kings Dominion. I still had a good enough time, with my rides on Twisted Timbers, Dominator and Flight of Fear -- but I admit that I was in a disappointed and aggravated state of mind throughout the entire day at the park. The park was empty, which was nice for getting in plenty of rides, but quite a few rides other than I-305 were closed all day as well (as were many places to eat). The park had a strong apathetic feeling to it about being open for business, which added to my negative frame of mind. It also didn't help that Pantheon was closed on the previous day -- both the coasters that were supposed to be the highlights of my trip being closed did suck. Ultimately, I had a better time at Busch Gardens on this trip, even with Pantheon being closed. I wish I didn't have the day that I did at Kings Dominion, and I had left the park feeling great (or even much better) about it. SO, I am planning to make another trip to Kings Dominion in the coming year -- certainly on a day when I-305 should be up and running. I would certainly like to make up for the disappointing day I had at Kings Dominion and hopefully change my impression that I've had about the park. Twisted Timbers certainly is a great coaster. I had a lot of fun riding it many times. Dominator is a damn good coaster. And do I dare say that I really didn't find Anaconda to be that bad. Yes, there is that whole area where it just slowly meanders about doing nothing (which is bad), but I found the rest of the ride to be pretty fun. I did like the first drop into the underwater tunnel a lot - and the inversions following it were fun. Also, I didn't find it to be that uncomfortable. While Anaconda is not a great coaster, I didn't find it to be the awful disaster that the majority of enthusiasts deem it to be. Flight of Fear was fun as hell. I rode it several times in a row, and all my rides were really good. There were a few uncomfortable transitions, but none of them were that bad. I especially enjoyed the corkscrew at the end. That was the best part of the ride for me. I love that you have I-305 as the 2nd best coaster in the world and the best in America. I trust your opinion on this. It won't surprise me if I-305 becomes my new #1 coaster when I finally ride it.

[@KondaaKage]

I'd love to head to Kings Dominion someday for that amazing top 2. Eventually when we have the budget 😅

[@isaacgeeslin5411]

Love the Santa Cruz shirt!

[@HarryTiger621]

I love kings dominion, me and my family love i305 and we go every summer

[@Noahs_knives22222]

I love the intimidator and it’s for my favorite ride at kings dominion

[@inlinechris]

Kings dominion July 2024 was the hottest I’ve ever been at a theme park. It was 104 when I got back in my car. We lasted about 2 hours and only rode 3 things. It was miserable lol

[@Coasterpostalt]

I wish I could go ride i305 more! It is borderline inhumane... I wish every coaster was like that!

[@MicahxTv]

i live like 45 minutes away from kings dominion and they just renamed I305 to Project 305 cause their 10 year contract came to an end this year and also they renamed it to match the theme of the area where it’s at

[@gilbertceballos8674]

I'm going to this park for the first time in october!!!! So excited!!! Can't wait to ride i305!!! I have a feeling it'll be my favorite giga!! (Done millenium, fury and orion)

[@indykirchenbauerracing1709]

I went opening year for Tumbili and got 3 flips because I had an offset ride

[@arturobianco848]

Rode it couple of weeks ago for the first time for now its mine nr 2 after zadra thats intimidator. I loved the park one of my favorites in the states. Especially during the week time nice and quite.

[@carmennewkirk3311]

I’ve been on project 305. It’s crazy.

[@Calakapepe]

👀👀👀 I genuinely enjoy Twisted Timbers more than I305. Side note, Volcano was personally my main reason to go to KD... in early June 2018 😞 lol I got to see it with my own eyes .. but never rode that childhood bucketlist haha

[@BSTR03Hockey]

Oh nice. I got on Flight of Fear at the same time as y’all. I’m literally walking right in front of y’all in line. 😂

[@TrainCoasterFan]

I’m pretty sure y’all went to SFOT, when will that video come out?

[@CoasterDash]

I was there alone after a flight cancellation forced me to be stuck in Dallas. Vlog coming soon :)

[@Addi_hopewell12]

I went to kings dominion for the first time a few days ago and I rode i305 3 times in a row. I love that coaster so much it’s definitely my #1 in the park. But that turn after the drop makes me completely pass out lol. I’m glad yall had fun!

[@BlueZirnitra]

Imagine that they had to retrack it because it was even more insane when it was first built. Crazy.

[@BryanMark-mw8sz]

Possibly our favorite coaster in the country.... Daddy pig coaster enters the chat.

[@Phasmowatcher]

Airtime is cool and all but I like just the raw forces of helixes more

[@VWJR86]

The mid course trim brakes were a huge let down last time I rode it, they might have been there for a while, but they caught me off guard as I did not remember them being there.

[@JessicaFallen]

I have lived in Virginia my entire life love it here beautiful state 💞

[@yessirphizzy6916]

How do u get permission to film by the park because I have a gopro with a mount and i wanna learn how to get the permissions

[@Coastersnoot]

Is it good?

[@jandrew1994]

I love I305 and want to get back to Doswell, it's just so far out of the way for me

[@MarkRidley-lp3im]

Kings Dominion gets a new record breaker Launch B&M Wing Coaster for 2025 part of 50th Anniversary. I'm very excited. I enjoyed watching your Channel with 2 girls last night on KZbin. 👍

[@kmccurdy21]

Try to maximize your room on the restraints for 305. The drop is next level if your restraints are roomy. They will tighten up on the pullout but the drop will be insane.

[@GCI-yt]

do-dodonpa's launch is more intense than intimidator 305. 0 to 112 in 0.56 seconds on do-dodonpa

[@Thelightning1out]

Dodonpa isn’t even operating so it doesn’t really take that record anymore

[@GCI-yt]

@@Thelightning1out i'm just reminding marc aka coasterdash

[@Thelightning1out]

@@GCI-yt yea but still it isn’t operating so that really doesn’t count

[@Saxphire]

I went on the intimidator 305 I was so scared at the line but when I went on it the drop was insane and so fun I almost passed out it was so fast! And fun it was barely scary I was mostly scared of getting passed out

[@TimeWithRigo]

Gotta love i305 👍🏽🤩

[@allisonbarlaz6636]

Yup

[@spentron1]

Don't let G&G short you on sauce, or hummus! Sometimes they'll ask but not often enough. Also at Outpost, and the tartar sauce makes the fish at CK. I don't think I'd often pay it w/o dining plan except for something big enough to share though. Wildcat's ought to be better, started with better and added more to it. TT is great, but I think some of the high rankings for it are because it's usually easy to get plenty of rides on it!

[@appalachianenthusiast9499]

I can't believe we missed each other by only two days

[@kennys.favorite.girlfriend]

I hate roller coasters with a passion but love kings dominion with my heart! I always go to the water park and in the tide pool I like watching the anaconda or I 305 I can’t remember which. Anyway always have a season pass for this place. Went on the grizzly and screamed and cried. Edit: it is i305 that I see while I’m in the tide pool!

[@thecat3059]

how the hell did you film on twisted timbers?

[@christianortiz-v1l]

Intimidator 305 rocks!!!

[@CoasterDash]

Sure does!

[@LilFlipp_x1]

I rode it so many times it so fun

[@CoasterHead]

jeez twisted timbers looks like it has airtime

[@kp007__]

My friend passed out on that ride and now she’s too scared to get n king da Ka this weekend but I tried explaining those g forces are totally different

[@CoasterDash]

She won’t grey out on Kingda Ka the same way she greyed out on Intimidator 305. Tell her not to worry!

[@TheNo.1nerd-lookin-noob]

I 305 to me looks like a top 3, or possibly even the number 1 in the USA.

[@CoasterFootage101]

I305 shouldn't exist because of how insane it is oh my gosh

[@CoasterDash]

It’s a crazy ride!

I been to kings Dominion once

I305 is the most intense roller coaster I’ve ever been on in my life

[@qoscarjenkins9527]

Outer limits (flight of fear) is always hit or miss... its my favorite ride every 4 years.. hate the seats tho... not for tall riders

[@michaelwise6020]

I was comparing it to Steel Vengeance and number 2 in my rankings behind steel Vengeance and ahead of Millennium Force and I305 is number 4 behind millennium Force and I also said i305 is better than fury and my 3rd ride on I305 I did blackout in the dark and Dominator is my best floorless

[@Blabhabonsteriods]

Hey I rode that just yesterday

[@erikm8372]

Damn are you ok after that second ride on I-305? Haha

[@lightning_dragons]

To think I’ve only ridden I-305 once near the back and that scared heck out of me and the stomach dropping feeling was immense that first drop, and now my 9 year old cousin wants to ride it after just seeing a POV.
