This is just a hunch, but I think he may be a big Knoebels fan lol. Seriously though Yolocoaster looks great and should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I will get to SFMM sometime soon!

When were the photos posted? I believe they were posted on December 6, so that would have been during Candylane not during Halloween, my bad.

When they were sitting there, were the lapbars present? I believe they were off actually if you look on ALT on I believe page 9 of their Hersheypark thread there are a lot of good pictures of the trains with the restraints sitting separately as well off to the side.

Actually I was trying to direct that at Hercules, but anyway yeah that's what I had heard. Also this doesn't confirm but it at least supports what I heard, but in Hersheypark in the dark both Skyrush trains were sitting in the queue area disassembled without any of the wheel assemblies. The steel frames were just sitting on blocks of wood, so to me that would indicate that something along those lines went wrong, but like I said I heard from some people that it had something to do with broken axles.

Sorry to cause an uproar.. I don't post much on TPR because of being busy with college and other things. I've heard from some pretty reputable people though that there was a problem with a number of axles on the train, and I live in the Hershey area and have been on Skyrush a ton so it just made me wonder where you heard that from. My hope is that they find a way to fix the thing and get it operating by the start of the season. The fact that it got removed from the spring time in the park rides list didn't bode well for it though. In regards to the restraints I originally had a problem with the originals, but I have never had a problem with the newer ones. I don't think Hershey intended the new ones to be a end all fix for the restraint issue though. I'm optimistic that Hershey has done some work with Intamin and we'll see a much improved and comfortable Skyrush for everyone!

100% false How do you know it's 100% false? I'd be interested to know what you know that the rest of us don't.
