★ Among the fastest non-launched roller coasters in the world
Pantherian is a steel roller coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, USA, open since 2010. The ride stands 305 feet tall, drops 300 feet and reaches 90 mph over 5,100 feet of track.
Opened in 2010 as Intimidator 305, named for NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, this giga coaster pairs a 305-foot drop with high-speed turns that generate some of the strongest sustained G-forces of any coaster in the world. It was rethemed and renamed Pantherian in 2025 after its Earnhardt licensing rights expired.
Field note: early G-force issues in its first turn required track modifications shortly after its original 2010 opening.
