^I believe that's the one at Kings Island. The trains at Carowinds are Yellow and Purple. KD has a green one also, but not the same theming on the front of the train.

Uh-oh, looks like some re-theming ahead. Furyous no longer?!?!

Umm, actually I spoke with Mike and he said that it's going to be Centurion 325, AND Thunder Road will be converted with an RMC launch and an inverted splashdown. :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

^ Well that seems to basically confirm it then, doesn't it? Bye Nascar! :wave: Or at least bye Intimidator. Hopefully you'll get some new paint at least, if not a new color scheme. (White supports anyone?)

I feel like that would just be too much white in the skyline with Fury's supports. I say just give it a new coat with the same colors like Afterburn last year.

It's basically already white. You can really only see that it's light gray up-close.

Yea keep it red and gray. Good colors. But looks like they could keep the Intimidator name but just disassociate from Nascar. The word intimidator is also a generic term, just remove the Nascar theme. They pay the rights for the Nascar ties to Dale Earnhardt. They could just drop those ties, as otherwise Intimidator is a great name.

Unless it's changed, Intimidator IS a trademarked work. Trademarked by Dale's folks I believe. There was a small wooden coaster in Pigeon Forge once that called itself The Intimidator and they jumped on that one pretty quick and had it changed.

It's definitely not changed. DEI has the rights to the use of Intimidator and even the f they drop the entire theme, they'd probably still get sued and loose if they keep that name.

We learned about this when Paramount sold the parks. Drop Tower? Afterburn?

^ If we're going to keep that general name, "Intimidation" would probably work better than "Intimidate." Neither name is that great, though, so I'd expect the name to be changed to something else entirely when the time comes.
