  1. But Hershey seems to always like to do new and unique things, but as you said it seems a bit complex for the park.

    Like???

    First inverting hydraulic launch coaster, first dueling/racing wooden coaster, first wing hyper coaster, first indoor spinning glow coaster. I'm probably missing a few things but they do try to do different things. Obviously the ultra tower is a huge first to take on but like I said Hershey worked with the same company on Laff Trakk that works with Intamin on this Ultra Tower. Laff Trakk has been great since it opened with effects so I can't see why they wouldn't trust them

  2. Do Dorney and Hershey have some sort of "no compete" agreement where they can't build the exact type of ride? (Kind of like what Busch Gardens and kings Dominion have). That would eliminate the S&S Tower thoughts... unless Dorney is selling theirs to Hershey. (Sorry, had to create a little extra drama there.)

    I wouldn't say they have a "no compete" agreement just more so the fact that why have 2 of the same things an hour from eachother. But then again Dorny and Hershey both have a few of the same things including Inverted Coaster and Hypers but they are two totally different rides.

     

    My money is set on the Ultra Tower

  3. I have found out some more interesting stuff. I am now 90% sold on it being the Ultra Tower. Intamin works in collaboration with Raven Sun Creative to create this ultra tower and it just so happens Hershey collaborated with Raven Sun on the glow features for Laff Trakk. If you look at animations of this ultra tower it has 4 bases which is entirely possible given the space the markings were put in.

     

    It just wouldn't make sense for it to be an S&S complex since Dorney has had it

  4. So if this is legit then there seem to be 2 "tower bases" that are marked and presumably a 3rd one is going to be by the frog hopper. Outside of the big white markings there are red lines outlining like a platform of sorts and possibly the queue line. I'm looking for more over maybe around kissing tower cause this could be a misleading thing but likely not.

     

    Again this is in the little kiddie ride area across from Flying Falcon

  5. Great Bear is so underrated, it always has been. Just throwing that out there.

     

    After Storm Runner I think it's likely my favorite coaster in the park.

    I agree but it is really just the soft ending that ruins it for most people. It's like a movie that is awesome but the ending sucks, that's all people remember out of it

     

    And on this Fahrenheit debate, I'm glad we finally are comparing it to a similar coaster, I dislike when people compare it to Maverick since they are two totally different experiences. I have yet to ride impulse so I cannot comment yet, however, I will say I quite like Fahrenheit but stacking up against Storm Runner and Skyrush it can get lost in the mix

  6. ^Yes Storm Runner and Fahrenheit got the softer Intamin restraints, they should be operating as normal now unless there is a generic issue. Skyrush is open in full force as well. I think everyone agrees the "backwards" method is the best way to go. I'd start with Fahrenheit, Laff Trak and hit the woodies in the back of the park. Then hit Storm Runner and make your way to the front of the park. Skyrush is tempting to ride first but if you wait till around 2pm the line is usually >15 mins. Have fun!
