Update

Year 49

 

Year 49 is still underway but the construction is really picking up!

 

The old giftshop is coming down!

 

The base of the ride isn't too big.

 

Can't even tell there's been a premier here!

 

There's been alot of talk lately that says Surf might be on its way out.

 

I think the talk is being fueled by Intamin and Hawaii's recently rekindled relationship with the announcement of Leopard.

 

Most are saying that they'll be unveiling the world's tallest impulse coaster.

 

I'd be surprised if they did.

 

Surf is too popular of a ride, especially with that "family" age range.

 

I returned to the park later last night...

 

Surprisingly, the park was somewhat empty.

 

The ferris wheel was closed as they were working on some of the lighting on the ride.

 

The old skyway station will become seating for the new Hotel Hellvetica eatery.

More soon.

Update

Year 49

 

Here's to the last day of the Year 49 season! It's been a big year with the addition of Storm and the Hotel Hellvetica premier!

 

Hotel Hellvetica - The Ride is coming close to completion!

 

I hope the attraction will be able to transform into a new attraction once the Hotel Hellvetica rush dies down in a few years.

 

Overview of the ride.

 

The former spot of the Skyway station is being converted into an eating area for the new Hotel Hellvetica eatery.

 

Work is coming along pretty quickly.

 

The path to the area has been widened.

 

That's a tight fit.

 

Good thing the park's adding some rocks to alieve the closeness of the path and Tropicana Tower.

 

I think it looks great.

 

The new eating area opens up this area of the park.

 

It's better than the old closed down gift shop!

 

Land clearing has begun for Leopard. It is believed that it will open later in the next season.

More soon.

 

Update - My "insiders" are telling me that the mega-impulse might already be in Hawaii being stored! I'm being told that the park had purchased the ride right before the "Tigre" incident and decided not to build it but to keep it in storage. Guess we'll have to wait and see on this one.

Update

Year 50

 

The 50th year of Hershey's Hawaiian Escape is here!

 

The park started out as only a small attempt to have something new to do in the great state of Hawaii, but it has now turned into one of the biggest tourist attractions in the state.

 

We've seen rides come and go, but we've seen the quality and feel of the park stay right in its place.

 

I thought I'd start off the first of many Year 50 updates with all Leopard shots!

 

The ride is in the "overgrown" Great Outdoors area of the park.

 

The launch track is surrounded by trees.

 

The new ice cream shop looks great.

 

You can get a great view of the train leaving the station from under the railroad crossing.

 

The train enters the overbank and provides some great picture ops!

 

The ride roars across the blue sky at blazing fast speeds.

 

The ride is better on the left side, I think.

 

Leapord's "pringle" element is directly in front of Excavation's entrance.

 

The helix is the most intense part of the entire ride.

 

More soon.

 

[i did the best I could with the supports.]

Leopard is an awesome looking coaster, but If possible I move a couple of the supports on the helix. I would give them angles and not just a vertical pole. I know you did your best but if you could do that and get some of the supports out of the path I think it would make the area look better. The park could close the ride due to some major problems with a track piece because of it being the first of its kind.
