BoulderDash Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Here are some pictures from today's awesome Phobia tour! The ride is looking great, especially in person! The trains. The park is going with purple decals on the side and black on the front. Nerd shot. T&L in hibernation. This is where the entrance will be. Will be the longest quene in the park. This is one of the main powerhouses for the ride. There is another smaller one on the other side. This is the other power building, it is supposed to be very loud at 110 desciples. BD looking awesome. \\ The lift looks so good! The rest of the pieces are waiting for their turn! Here are a few notes: -Photo booth for Phobia will be on the Ghost Hunt side of the pathway around where the dippin dot stand was before. The path is being widened to 25ft and there will be two other food stands next to the photo booth. -Quene will be longest in park. -The giant Phobia sign will go right where you walk up to the ride from Revolution.
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Nice photos! Thanks for sharing. I'd really like to ride one of these Sky Rocket II models sometime soon. If they are anything like Full Throttle, I'm happy!
BoulderDash Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Looks like track has started to go up! They should be able to get a lot done this week!
DJeXeL Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Phobia will be an instant success. Thanks for the updates. Forgot this was going to be a Premier for a split second. Thought it was a Maurer-Sohne.
Jcoaster Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Looks awesome! Me and some buddies do an annual New England trip consisting of Lake Compounce and SFNE. Can't wait to get some night rides on this and Boulder Dash this year!!
theredskull84 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Construction is moving along! Nice shot from their Twitter.
Superbatboy Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Awesome! Looks like they're moving along nicely
Jcoaster Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Construction is moving along! Nice shot from their Twitter. This is going to be a great addition. Not crazy expensive for the park either, hopefully they could add another coaster in a few years.
BoulderDash Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 It is going to be an amazing addition, I have always wanted one of these at the park. Its compact, thrilling, and the only launch coaster in the area. Should be a real hit, the only thing I am concerned with is capacity, but I have no doubt the park will load the train as fast as possible. I could see another coaster come to the park within the next 5-7 years. I think something like Laff Trackk at Hershey would be a great fit. Or maybe an RMC T-Rex.
Genx24 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Excited to have one of these rides within day trip distance. I'm glad I'll be able get on one of these models this summer.
neil009 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I'm glad I can get on this ride here after waiting maybe 30 minutes in between rerides on Boulder Dash, rather than going and waiting two hours for the same thing at BGW.
Password121 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I'm glad I can get on this ride here after waiting maybe 30 minutes in between rerides on Boulder Dash, rather than going and waiting two hours for the same thing at BGW. Are lines for Tempesto actually consistently that long? I didn't make it out to the park this year but I haven't heard of anyone waiting more than 45 minutes or so on a regular operating day. Anyways, while I don't see any possibility of getting to Lake Compounce anytime soon, this looks like a solid addition (and I like the color scheme, btw).

The ride ops were hauling.
Superbatboy Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I rode both Superman and Tempesto last year and both sets of crews were hauling ass. I was especially impressed with how they were handling Tempesto. I remember taking a seat in the front of Apollo's Chariot and watching a Tempesto train complete a circuit, by the time they dispatched us, we were about 3/4 of the way up the lift and another Tempesto cycle was already taking place. They haul to get the line moving! I guess it also helps that the cycle of the Skyrocket coasters are incredibly short (with the exception of Zombie ride).

CoasterTony Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Sorry, I didn't see someone else showed this.
theredskull84 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I am in love with these colors! another pic from their Twitter.
Genx24 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I love that colour scheme. Orange and purple work well together, IMO. Excited to finally get a ride on one of these models. I'm particularly curious as to how a non-inverted loop feels. I've not had the pleasure of experiencing one yet.
neil009 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 That looks SO FRICKIN GOOD. I was planning on putting off my return trip to this park another year or two but now I'm not sure I'll be able to.
Paradox Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 This has to be one of my favorite color schemes ever.
coasterbill Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I can't wait to go back to Lake Compounce. The only question is do we wait for Halloween since they do the best haunt in the region, or do we go in summer so we can ride the awesome chairlift? Decisions, decisions...
