  1. On another note, Hershey park begins selling tickets at 10am. The people selling tickets are the ones ripping tickets. It was a bizzare set up. I would suggest buying in advance, getting there at 9:30 so you are among the first through.
  2. Bit late to report, but here it goes: I also visited Hershey on Monday, had a very similar visit to okinawaboy11. I followed the advice to hit Fahrenheit first and it was great advice. I got a front seat ride, walk in, on Fahrenheit, followed by a walk on back seat ride. Then a walk on front seat ride on storm runner, followed by a second ride. Then I got two front seat walk on rides for both sides of Lightening racer. When I went to check sky rush, the queue was full, so I went to the Zoo and came back. The ride had broken down, so I went to get lunch. By the time I got back, Sky Rush was cycling empty trains, so I waited. Probably 15 minutes later, the ride was open, and in 5 minutes I was in the back row, left wing seat. My Review: The lift quickly grabs the train and before you know it you are getting thrown over easily the craziest drop on any coaster I have ridden (I include El Toro, and I305 in this). The way the hill is designed, it feels like there is a pump right at the steepest portion that really tries to throw you out of the seat. When the ride turns at the bottom of the drop you get thrown to the left. The laterals are so intense that I had to grab on for fear of getting hurt. On the first airtime hill you get thrown so hard into the noodles that you are thankful that they are locked down tight. The sweeping turn comes, and I almost blacked out. No fear, the blood quickly rushed into my brain on the second (even more intense) airtime hill. The stengle dive was really a surprise for me. It had strong laterals, and managed to give me negative g's will the train went from overbanked, to normal. Extremely intense. The air-time S-curve had equally strong airtime, that when combined with laterals, was frightening. The last airtime hill comes with a vengeance, and give the strongest air I have ever experience on a coaster. Essentially every hill has stronger and stronger ejector airtime. The ride is an absolute monster. As for the noodles. I didn't mind my legs getting crushed, but the noodles could be designed much better. I found that the noodles were much worse when I rode on the right wing. Essentially there is a one inch contact point about 1/3 down your thigh. When the extreme airtime comes, a small amount of restraint separates you and death. The placement 1/3 down the thigh is really awkward because your center of mass is so far away from the contact point. If there was more contact from the hip to mid thigh, the restraint would be great. I didn't mind the noodles though because I collected 3 rides throughout the day. It seemed that the ride ops were getting better at loading the trains as the day progressed. Yes, the station design sucks, but they are working on it. For me I305>Skyrush>El Toro. If the noodles get changed, Skyrush could be #1.
