The kind of intuition you gain for higher dimension tends not to be visual. It is more that you learn a bunch of tools and these in turn build intuition. For example high dimensional spheres are "pointy" and most of their volume are near their surface. These ideas can be defined rigorously and are important and useful. For medium dimension there are usually specific facts that you exploit. In my own work stuff like "How often do you expect random walks to intersect" is very important (and dependent on dimension).
