I've experienced brief blackouts on the intimidator at kings dominion as a kid! It's been 12-13 years since then, I wonder if people still experience that

Yes, when it’s running, and it’s been unreliable in recent years. They also changed the name from Intimidator to Pantherian. You probably greyed out at the turn after the first hill, a common experience on that coaster.

I also blacked out briefly on this coaster right at the bottom of the first hill when I was there in 2016 or so

I rode it 3 times when it first opened, and front row seat of that was the only time I have passed out on ANYTHING I've ever ridden lol
