QueerRudie Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Although no 'official' opening has been set, the park has been leading everyone to 26 May, 2012. I know I'll be there for it... and the day before, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll be there for it... and the day before, too. It will be my brother's birthday, so I'm hoping that the ride will truly open on that day so we can go. I've been planning it for months, so I'm praying it becomes a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'll be there on May 26 wind, rain, shine, hail, tornado, hurricane, meteor shower, or apocalypse. So it better be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Let's hope for a smooth opening day for Skyrush, unlike the debacle that was Fahrenheit's first day of operation... What happened? If I remember right a train volleyed in the cobra roll and had to be pushed out by a few guys on a crane. (edited for accuracy, had a feeling I didn't remember it quite right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It also got stuck upside down at the exit of the cobra roll and rolled out by itself V E R Y S L O W L Y. That was only because it was running empty. So from that day forward Hershey had to run Fahrenheit with passengers. Thankfully it always has a line.

coasternut Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Looks like a GREAT RIDE, thanks for the video. Looks like lots of airtime everywhere, with none of the usual Intamin (QDC) Quick Direction Changes (eg. Maverick, I305) that I don't like. I can't wait...

XYZ Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm wondering if it will have a stationary floor or a lowering floor. Since it's an Intamin, I'm guessing it will be a stationary floor. Looks like a GREAT RIDE, thanks for the video. Looks like lots of airtime everywhere, with none of the usual Intamin (QDC) Quick Direction Changes (eg. Maverick, I305) that I don't like.

The Yeti Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The way the back seat flies over the first airtime hill is so great, but it looks like in any row there is no escaping the airtime. I'll have to make my first trip to Hershey Park sometime this year...any recommendations on when to visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanKgtr Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 ^Either weekdays in late May, mid to late June, or very late August. Early June is swarmed by school trips, and July and August are packed with tourists. But no matter the season, always avoid Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this creates too much head banging / neck crunching into the OTSR. Good thing there is no OTSRs. I do see one direction change on the twisty hill thing before the final small bunnyhill, but if I'm correct your talking about the transitions between flat turns like in the beginning of Maverick and on I305. El Toro has those transitions too, but because its just lapbars, there's no possible discomfort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Good thing there is no OTSRs. Yeah...the neck chops on Maverick are nothing to laugh about! Granted, even on my very first ride, I was instinctively able to lean with the turns (the forums taught me well), but it didn't completely solve the problem.

Ccron10 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Went over today and recorded a few laps of it testing in the rain. I'll have an update with photos from yesterday and today up momentarily. EDIT: For some reason the youtube video won't embed in the post. Could a Mod please fix this for me? Thanks!

chickenbowl Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Great video. That thing really flies! Can't wait for it to open to hear reviews! ^^That was also my only complaint with Maverick, although it's still in my top 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take out all the garbage from the & till the end of the URL, it'll only embed if it's the URL with none of the other extra stuff that gets added on. By the way, that's definitely a Stengel Dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Dear Intamin: You rock. Definitely want to check this ride out during the summer if I can find time on my days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to make my first trip to Hershey Park sometime this year...any recommendations on when to visit? There is more airtime in the front while cresting hills while in the back there is more being pulled over hills. I tend to prefer the front of coasters for airtime, especially on Intamin rides where the ejector feels stronger to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like lots of airtime everywhere, with none of the usual Intamin (QDC) Quick Direction Changes (eg. Maverick, I305) that I don't like. I can't wait... The pullout from the Stengel Dive looks a bit snappy, and so does the little flipover hill. But there is really no telling how the forces actually are until anyone rides it.
