Ok rob, i certainly feel sorry that you "hate" when people make statements about certain parks on weather or not they can build hyper coasters. Ok, I guess ANY park could conceivably build one. But the fact is Hershey has a more family focused atmosphere than most parks. Most of their coasters (with the exception of GB, SR, Wild Mouse) can be ridden by most 8 year olds. The point I was making---being an individual well versed on HersheyPark, Hershey the town and the school that benefits from it's success, I was merely posing the fact that these hypers are a large chunk of money. And one in Hershey park would cost much more money than the average park spends on a hyper. The terrain, taking into account all the rides, and the sheer size of the ride would be a tremendous under taking indeed. Analyizing terrain by satellite is VERY expensive, but would be a nessasary step in the building a hyper WITHIN the park. I never said they wouldn't Build one. I said that they probably wouldn't build one within the confines of the park as we now see it. Hence the post on looking at the recently purchased chunk of land. Also, I just don't see them forking out the dough for a coaster of that magnitude for sometime.

In reality, there really is no place to fit a hyper. Although Hershey is known being able to fit a coaster in to some wacky places, (Great Bear, Storm Runner) placing a hyper coaster throughout the park would be a massive undertaking. I will say this though. The map of the entire park does not show a recently purchased golf course east of the park behind the Giant Center. I do believe they will expand the park out that way in the future, and a hyper or giga would certainly have plenty of room to frolic in the fields of Derry Township. Try posting a map of that area and ponder it. Let me know what you think

I don't know about height restrictions, but Milton Hershey School just remodeled the sxhool up on the hill, and I don't see they touching the land on the bottom

On the stuck on the lift hill comment.. This ride has a special hybrid hydraulic chain lift. An electric motor runs a hydraulic pump, and the hydro pump moves the chain. If the chain gets stuck, they have a backup system (consisting of a generator and another pump) to move the chain over the hill.

I got an e-mail from HERCO. I'm one of the 11

where did you see the announcement for the tornado?

I would say 6 inversions

no doubt. I bet you are EXTREMELY happy

I'm beginig to wonder if this is actually the ride. I don't just something abou tit though

I guess no one remembers when i said it would be a "VERTICLE LIFT HILL, NOT A LAUNCH.

yes, I believe i did. i'll give you the file name. you can check if they have it or not the grid is r4 c3 do you have that one?
