steel Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Ugh, change that station, it's hideous! Other than that, though, it's pretty much as expected. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Yes, but at least the entrance has some sort of shape. This is so one-dimensional. It's a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Update Year 47 Sorry for the lack of updates lately! Work has been brutal! The season is well underway, but attendance levels have been at an all-time low so far. Next season expect to see lower prices and more advertisments on your t.v. set. The crowds seemed decent today. Would've been a perfect shot if that speaker wasn't in the way! They really stretched it out! Still one forceful ride! The new restaurant has been extremely successful, especially around breakfast time when most people are entering the park. I forget about Twizzler Turnover all the time... it's still there! More soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Update Year 47 Here's a cool shot of Zhambi Sidewinder it looks really tall here for some reason. FlyUira's entrance plaza is complete. I guess they didn't transform the gift shop... It still has alot of FlyUira apparel, though. I like the park's current skyline. It's probably the best its looked since the initial Hershey days. Through the trees! Delusion is a scary ride... It looks cool from every angle. That is a steep hill! The twisted section of Excavation as seen from above. TRAGEDY STRUCK THE PARK AS I WAS LEAVING! A vandal poured oil over Phoenix's exit stairs... and you can see what the result was. Three died on the scene, one died later that evening and 4 are still in the hospital. I'll be sure to update you on this horrible act of violence and what is being done to find the person who did this. More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Perhaps it was slipping related injuries, they could have been impaled by a churro after fallen on it or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 If you have any questions be sure to ask! Click here to download the newest version of No Limits that features a mine train track! I will be judging the rides based on (a) Closeness to the real ride (b) Ride quality (especially on No Limits) © Terrain (will be more-leniant with No Limits) The winners should be announced sometime during the first week of January. Here are some shots of the ride to help you out with the recreation! I'm sure there's more throughout the thread. Regular updates will return this weekend. And... GO!

coasterdude5 Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Update Year 47 Phoenix is still operating, but guests now exit through the queue (which is getting old!) as the investigation is still continuing on the exit ramp. Police are sure they got the right guy... Hernando Martinez was arrested on Wednesday and is in jail without bond. I still expect to see a lawsuit from the victims' families. In other news, the park is gearing up for its 48th season! [FROM LAST WEEK] Grande Bay is being extended for the new attraction. Today the extension was complete and looks really good! Expect to see more improvements to the other side of Grande Bay Boardwalk as well. Surf! has been experiencing excessive downtime recently, I look for it to be refurbished over the upcoming off-season. FlyUira has been a hit and attendance has sky-rocketed during the second-half of the year. The longest (continuously) standing coaster at the park, Tantalus! See you in a few weeks for the park's 48th season! More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice101 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Really interesting with the whole fall and die incident. I really like this park, with the exception of Tantalus. It needs to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 MOTIVE IN HAWAIIAN ESCAPE MURDERS HONOLULU - A possible motive in the tragedy that took place at Hershey's Hawaiian Escape last week has been released to the public. Through hours of questioning and interrogation, police believe the reason Hernando Martinez poured oil over the exit stairs of a ride at the park was due to him not being allowed to ride due to his size. "We believe he was angry at the ride operators and patrons that were riding the ride," said a Honolulu police spokeswoman, "he was a season pass holder and had been to the park several times throughout this year." Guests report seeing Martinez enter into a verbal fight with a ride operator before storming off of the ride platform. Hershey believes he left the park and then returned later that day with the oil. The ride is located in the back corner of the park, where during late-afternoon hours can become less-crowded as guests are at the waterpark. Martinez' family was not availible for comment. The ride has since reopened but guests are being re-routed down the queue line. The ramp where the act took place is still roped off and is undergoing investigation. Meanwhile, the park has added special "grips" on all stairs in the park. "We focus the utmost attention to our guests here at Hershey," said a spokesman yesterday, "this terribly unfortunate event has forced us to re-evaluate our safety and security." The park could be facing up to 5 different lawsuits from the victims' families. "We are working with the familes to see if there is anything that we can do to help with the process."
