Project 305 is a steel roller coaster located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, United States. Manufactured by Intamin, the ride opened to the public as Intimidator 305 on April 2, 2010. Themed to racing, the coaster was originally named after the late NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who was commonly known as "The Intimidator".

The ride Stands at 305 feet (93 m) tall and reaches speeds of up to 90 mph (145 km/h), it is the second giga coaster to be built in North America, following Millennium Force at Cedar Point.

Project 305 has a first drop of 300 feet (91 m), which reaches a maximum descent angle of 85 degrees. Its lift hill structure was unique at the time, utilizing only two main points of support at the hill's crest. At its highest point, Project 305 reaches a height greater than the observation platform of the park's tallest structure, the Eiffel Tower attraction.

In early 2024, Kings Dominion renamed the coaster "Project 305" on their website and announced that the ride was undergoing a transformation, likely due to expiring licensing rights to the Intimidator name.
