Yes SkyRush is still imo looking the best so far in 2012 in the US. I hope I can be on that trip and gain some experience with the experienced!

Well color me not impressed! But this is what I expected from B&M not saying it won't be a cool ride.
I'm glad B&M has proved a lot of peeps wrong by building a giga and not charging 50 mill for it.
I'm just pissed every giga/strata is located 3000 miles or more from me! I think I'm going to save the cash used going to Knotts/SFMM to be used going on Robb's TPR trips since none of the amazing rides are on the Westcoast and I've given up hope on ever getting any.
-
Well I'm hoping the reason B&M decided to take on CW gigacoaster is b/c Intamin couldn't b/c they were already contracted out to build SFMM one...long stretch I know
-
I'm going to have nightmares about a robotic arm inpreganting and ripping at things for weeks thanks guy...I think I'd buy a couple of those souvenirs though
-
A little bit of digging work... looks like I've uncovered a logo...
I like very much! Nice find
-
I would upload my nolimts take on this beautiful invert but my pc is tripin out and all I have is my phone now to access the net, then when I figured out I could put the file on my phone and then upload it my SD card all of a sudden refuses to be read by my phone I also have on my PC the giga I made for CW when I thought it was going to be an intamin, and the trippy part of that is before any track showed up I made my coaster pretty much the exact same colors and named it Leviathan yet I made this coaster weeks ago and can't show it to anyone.
-
So does this mean Cf has a gigacoaster monopoly, all they need is one in Knotts now and they will have pretty much blocked SF out of the market, unless SF spends huge sums of money to top their competition which I don't see happening imo.
I guess I should first see if the announcement is infact going to be a giga lol
-
The same can be said about flashback and Vu, one is a mildly thrilling sitdown and one is an extreme inverted vertical dropping beast. They may share the same elements but the ride experiences are nothing alike imo.
-
I don't find the coaster posted in that video appealing either, that doesn't mean I won't like BGW new coaster. Especially since BGW will have a cool theme, dark ride sections, nice drop down by the river none of which the coaster in that video has.
-
I don't think SFMM is going to say anything until they have to, and I guess they have to Sept. 1st when SFNE announce that they are officially installing Vu for 2012. They height difference means nothing the Media get stats wrong all the time when it comes to rides/coasters. Why would SFI spend the money with Vekoma on a new Model Deja Vu thats even bigger then the first 3 they bought and would probably have even bigger issues being 267 feet tall .
I know this is a dream...but I love it if SFMM could squeeze a record breaking giga in there, and then take the next 5 to 10 years even, just adding flats, maybe family coaster bigger then RRE and just fixing up the place making it more beautiful and rounding out the park. Give HH some love in that time also.
-
What makes people think there is no immediate replacement for Deja Vu and that SFMM won't be wearing the crown in 2012? Before I ever heard of Deja Vu moving there was rumors of a Dive Machine for that area, I wasn't thinking but just the fact that a DM was being thought about for that area must of meant Deja Vu was planned to be move all along. If a DM replaces Vu or not I believe the plans have been in the works for sometime now and there will be a replacement for 2012.

I305 style yellow track has been delivered this morning at Hershey Park for SkyRush. Pics were posted to facebook just incase anyone was wondering what style of track Intamin would be using on this coaster. Sorry my phone isn't letting post links or pics.
-
Imo these haunts are only fun if you have a girl or girls with you, the get all scared and get all up on you wanting to say all hugged up on you for security. Other then that I find these events totally lame and I'm the biggest Halloween nut and horror movie lover on the planet but these events do nothing for me.
-
Is it just me or the angle that video was taken but does it seam like Knotts Windseeker is spinning a heck of a lot faster then the others? That video made the ride look much more thrilling then other vids I've seen.
I also hope what Lance said about knotts 2012, has been reaffirmed to be a go is true. I'm not counting on a giga but I hope knotts atleast get some type of coaster for 2012 for the big kids and longer then 2 seconds lol
-
Well with my naked untrained eye it looks like a dive machine track imo. I looked at the ties of Sky Scraper flyer, Hair Raiser floorless, and Krake DM, and in my opinion the ties look more like Krakes.
-
Now I know what the engineering marvel will be, it be how B&M made a 300 foot dive machine feel like absolutely nothing j/k
Seriously though Im wondering will this be somekind of First from B&M maybe a launched coaster. The way some of those footer are located within and around DF could a DMtrain, or wingrider train even fit the way some people were saying the footers are so close DF must be leaving. Also the way that huge square footer and triangle foot are set up I was thinking a top hat would be sitting there.
-
That's one fixed post that deserve an award, where's the like button lol.
Anyways I love everything about SkyRush I don't care how you load the ride or that it's not 6000 feet long it look awesome to me. 85* degree drop 5 intamin airtime hills new ots lapbar trains how could anyone have complaints.
-
Thanks for theses updates that inverted coaster is looking great!, my favorite type of B&M is their inverts and this is looking like it will be one of their best imo, will there be a TRP trip to this place in 2012?
-
But why would a Screaming Swing make Paula dizzy?, it doesn't spin
-
Well according to some sites(this games has fried some peoples brain) it is now going to be a 212 foot Intamin zac spin and the kissing tower is being turned into jumping jelly fish is it Aug. 2 yet
-
What I don't understand is if Deja Vu cost so much to maintain and operate, why send it to a park (SFNE) that's probably not getting as many customers nor bringing in as much revenue as SFMM. Wouldn't be better to send a money hog as Vu is claimed to be to a park like SFOT, SFGADv, SFFT, SFGAM even though they didn't want the one they had lol. I just don't see see this happening unless SFMM is planning on announcing a new coaster for 2012, which so far the rumors are saying no coaster it's a thrill ride/ drop tower.
I also agree 100% with Eddie!

I smell sabotage by Mondial lol j/k

So OSHA allowed the ride to open with the ropes tied around the seats as a quick fix :
