brandon Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I love that second picture, its postcard status. I think the park definently needs another big coaster, maybe another hyper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The park looks awesome, but the only problem is the lack of coasters. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Update Year 40 Tango is one insane ride, from any angle. The Boardwalk area needs a new ride... Volcano Derby, I always forget about this ride. This view looks differnt without Oronga... The Volcanic with the volcano - all in one! Twizzler Turnover - still one of the favorites at the park with the guests. HHC wasn't too crowded today. Down the tornado slide. More of HHC. Today Kissing Tower had an E-Stop halfway up the tower; luckily they were able to restart the ride ten minutes later. Kaena Point Falls sorta owns that area of the park right now. More soon.

coasterdude5 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 “To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feelthe breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 He's making a reference to Hershey's new ride. Expect some sort of puzzle followed by a new Intamin or large coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just look at the picture and notice the track type... Looks like a reverse freefall type ride. Look at the numbers, 140 to 041, its reversed.

coasterdude5 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I was surfing the internet today and came upon this archived page on the Herco site: (looks like an IM chat to me) HERDON12: I don't know Jim, this will change that area of the park forever, are we sure we want that large of an attraction in the dead center of the resort? It will surely dwarf the surrounding area." AGBUYER: Yes, both of these new additions will benefit the park, namely its skyline appearance as of now. We can't afford to pass this opportunity up. HERDON12: I know, but I don't know if it's been long enough yet. We are still dealing with the courts. AGBUYER: It's been over a decade Ron, it's time to move on. HERDON12: Alright, sign the papers.

asr Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'm excited for this. I guess it will be going in Tidal Wave's previous footprint. That area seems a little small for the size this ride is undoubtably going to be, but with the discussion going on it seems like the most logical place to put it. Now we just need to figure out exactly what "it" is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Update Year 40 Well it's closing night at HHE for this year's season... I took alot of pictures last night so they'll be spread over two updates. New lighting was installed at both park entrances. It looks alot better now, I think. The waterpark's entrance also looks better now. The park looks somewhat darker at night than it used to. How they keep the waterpark open at night is beyond me. I'm hoping they'll eventually illuminate the waterpark. It looks like they need some lighting elsewhere as well. The area around Solar Flare is usually pretty bright. The Year 41 addition should be announced any day now. More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Update Year 41 Announcement ITS TIME TO RIDE THE WAVES AT HERSHEY THIS YEAR AND SOAK IN THE RAYS ON TWO NEW ATTRACTIONS. Hershey is announcing two major new attractions to its stunning lineup of thrill and family rides. Surf will become the park's tallest rollercoaster at 140 feet. Known as a "halfpipe" coaster, the surfboard train will feature two circular sections of seats, each holding eight guests, that will spin freely. The ride will be thrusted back and forth through the station until the peak of the ride, where it will be reaching speeds of 45-50 mph. The ride will be across from the new HawaiiWheel, which will replace the former ferris wheel. HawaiiWheel will be one of the largest ferris wheels in existance, at nearly 200 feet in height. Both of these attractions will anchor the brand new Hershey Entrance Plaza area, featuring new eateries and gift shops. The park opens for its 41th season soon. Surf - Ride the Waves. HawaiiWheel - this is a needed addition. Tropicana looks cool at night. As well as Zambia Sidewinder... Someone finally figured out this ride was back here! Rainforest Cafe looking all blue tonight. I can't believe this ride is still here. More of Tropicana Don't fall out! All that's left of Turbulence... More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraken613 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Or Hersy just wanted to beat you to it! Just do a different theme and the General Public wont even notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Update Year 41 I took several trips to the park during its off-season: HawaiiWheel is in place! The new entrance plaza will be massive compared to the old one. I wonder where Surf will go? Anybody recognize this shot? And we have Surf! OPENING DAY It's all ready to go and ride the "wave". Which one is taller? More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Awesome! Surf didn't look very impressive in the concept art, but now that it is built it looks huge. But, for a park the size of HHE, the capacity might be a bit low don't you think? You should have gone with dueling halfpipes... Or an AQUATRAX!
