Mannn I only went to Kings Dominion once but we rode Intimidator 305 and at the bottom of the first drop into a hard turn, I blacked out - lost vision for the first 15 seconds of the ride or so. Was simultaneously terrified and wildly pumped.

Fun fact, they actually lowered the hill directly after the lift hill after its opening season because so many people were blacking out from the G-forces.

They actually modified the first turn because it was melting the trains polyurethane wheels!
