is this possible or not ?

  if(cur_pos>360){
              $('.intro').delay(1500).animate(
                   {  
                      transform:scale(1.5) },'slow'
                );

I think you can only animate numeric properties. The value for transform may have a number in it, but it's a string.

:point_right: You could scale it yourself by animating the dimensions:

if (cur_pos > 360) {
    $('.intro').delay(1500).animate({
        height: '150%',
        width: '150%'
    }, 'slow');
}

:point_right: Or, you can also get the same effect by combining transform with a transition (no "animate"):

style.css 
.intro {
    transition: transform 600ms 1.5s;  /* "slow", with a 1500ms delay */
}
script.js 
if (cur_pos > 360) {
    $('.intro').css('transform', 'scale(1.5)');
}

Happy coding! :computer:
