He's trying to say that Skyrush will fly over the first airtime hill, comparing it to magnum which just gets over its first hill.

They still have to do the pull through first (to check clearances). After that's done then they should start testing the ride.

I'm still confused as to how this costs the same amount as I-305. Is it because the track is bigger?

Does anyone know how tall the first airtime hill is? This coaster is looking fantastic, hopefully it'll be completed tomorrow and testing will begin soon.

Are they ever going to paint those two yellow supports on the lift hill? Or have they just not gotten to it yet?

Any pics yet of the new trains for SDL?

I love that 3rd picture from the top. Track criss-crosiing and going every which way.

(Sort of) a side view of the new trains. Look really awesome

Why has this thread gone quiet? Any word if they've completed the track yet?

This park is not getting enough attention. If it actually opens with everything it's supposed to, I can see this being one of the best parks in China.

Can't wait till this ride opens. Who wants to bet on how much air-time this will have.

I was referring more to Ring Racer but your right. I just don't know why Chinese Parks don't want to open coasters that are ready. (At least I think this one is ready)

The other S&S at Beijing also took forever to open. I think there a trend with the thrust air coasters.

Looks like construction should be done pretty soon. This should win best new coaster of 2012 (though there are a lot of good coasters this year).

I think they'll be fine. But I do agree with you, these trains almost seem "fake" to me (my opinion). They almost don't look like they are designed by Intamin (besides the wrapping paper), they look more Zierer like.

I can't believe I haven't even heard about this ride yet. Looks pretty awesome. It looks like 2012 is the year for underrated coasters. (Verbolten, Manta, now divertical)

Have they ever opened up that noodle station in the past five years? I ate their when I was 9 and haven't eaten their since. Congrats on making it all 24 P.S. Which ride did you ride the most?

I wouldn't see why not. Hershey may (I repeat may) have a special contract with the new trains, but honestly I think if another park wanted a clone they could get it. But if you were sinking in that much money, you'd probably want to get a custom layout (at least I would).

I think there are seat-belts. If not I'm trying to figure out what those black straps are. (particulary on the 3rd seat from the left)

So I guess the thing about the trains being revealed wasn't true. Figures.

My bad. I haven't payed attention to this thread as much as I should have. But still, This ride looks awesome.

Maybe they'll have two separate que lines (winged and non-winged), and when you get to the station the station attendant will take two people from each line and put them into one row. Just a guess? If they don't I could see some people being very unhappy.

You've got to understand that there is some sarcasm involved. Really all I was saying was that B&M Wingrider < Intamin Hyper. I'm grateful for whatever ride my home-park gets.

This ride looks absolutely amazing!!! I envy anyone who lives there, or who's going on the New Hotness trip. All we're getting is a wing rider

Any opening date set yet?
