The Intimidator sits just off the Boardwalk and runs side by side with the Triple Threat Water slide. You can tell the difference in two ways, the Intimidator is yellow and the Triple Threat is blue and the other is the large, near vertical, drop that the Intimidator has compared to the three drops that the Triple Threat has. Both rides are amazingly fun but the Intimidator gives you a free falling sense for a second or two.
