Oh how beautiful the trains are
-
I have never experienced ejector air on a GCI either, however, Lightning Racer is one of my favorite wooden coasters and it has some good floater here and there with some awesome turns. I think this fills the void very nicely for the park at this time.

^Nothing wrong with learning from others!

This ride flies through the course! Also interesting how the service road runs right under probably the highest stressed part of the structure!

Hey any update on those soft restraints for Storm Runner and Fahrenheit? Still actually happening?
Fahrenheit is certainly not getting them from pictures of the maintenance shop, but I must say I have not seen Storm Runner's trains at all this off season so that could still be possible
-
You did a great job with that. It would certainly fill a void in the park in my opinion. A good wooden coaster is certainly needed.
-
What an engineering masterpiece. I mean that giant wave turn is unbelievable.
-
I could definitely see a dive similar to Baron's theming coming to the park. I'd rather see an invert along the lines of Nemesis more though

I went last summer and in my humble opinion the indoors queue with the funhouse mirrors on the walls was the best part of the ride. For a spinning coaster it sure did not spin all that much. Pandemonium at SFNE is a much better spinning coaster.
I 100% agree. It was fun no doubt and wipped around a bit, but it is far less superior than other spinners. But then again we have to remember their goal, a family attraction everyone can ride. I think it satisfied that.

Did anyone else notice how the magnetic brakes dropped down into the track at the end of the ride? Im guessing its to control the speed of the train on the brake run. Either way its a very cool idea, I have never seen that before.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but don't almost all other Intamin coasters have brakes that drop down on the final brake run. Granted some of them are a different style of brake, but they still retract once the train has been slowed down to a specific speed.
You are correct. Most of Intamin's coasters use magnetic brakes to slow the trains down on a "trim" section before the block section. For example, here on Flying Aces the trim section is that first set of brakes that drop down on a sloped piece of track. The weight of the train alone carries it down and into the transporters that fed into the block portion. On Skyrush the trim section is above Comet's station, and then the train drops down into a two block section.

Bike on the ceiling!

To be fair on the complaints about theming, they DID make a pattern with the concrete after all

I'm a little bit curious, having never ridden Skyrush, and not knowing Ferrari World policies, how do you make sure you get a wing-seat on these? Is it a case of it being assigned once you're at the gate so being, 1st or 4th at the gate? I remember being in line 4th on Nemesis once and the two kids in front jumped in the 3rd and 4th seat because they didn't want to be in the middle.
Skyrush attendants "assign" rows but they allow you to ask. I never get denied when I ask for the back row. Then you just have to take the wing seats right away. Definitely not familiar with how they operate this coaster (unfortunately )

You guys are kidding me right? I just watched the section me video for the first time and it hauls A$$ holy crap. This thing is a monster.
Dude... that train was crawling through almost every element. I expected the insane speed at the bottom of the first drop to carry throughout the majority of the ride, but holy crap, it barely even inched through the first element.
When the camera is that far away of course it looks slow. Same goes for an airplane in the sky.

Sounds like a great plan for a great park!

Yummy yum Maverick trains
-
It took you four weeks to get the joke?
I still don't get it.

-
Those are super sexy trains in my opinion.
-
You'd think maybe a small elevator type set up would be better than a spiral stairs at that height!
-
Do any other hyper trains come close to this?
-
I think it is from the lack of updates that isn't creating as much buzz from enthusiasts as it should. Still no POV or off ride footage.

^How do you know it will not be well themed?
