knowit Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Great Pics!! OH LOOK!!! A hybrid double chain lift!!!
Kennyweird Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Looking great! Does anyone besides me think that the station looks kind of like a church?
Ccron10 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 ^ I do, but it seems layed out similar to SR's station. I have posted a TR about my trip here. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42957 I have a bunch of new Fahrenheit and park photos too from the trip.
knowit Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I drove by HP today to take a gander at FH. It looks impressive. The cobra element on that thing is very tight and compact, but tall. Looks kind of weird and intense.
Ccron10 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I just realized this. I don't know if this matters, but the station's elevator is at the upper left-hand corner of the station; the entrance is supposed to be down at the lower right-hand corner. Usually the elevator entrances on the coasters are the closest to the entrance. I wonder if there's going to be a short path going under the final turn to hold the ride's main entrance, the handicapped entrance and the new entrance to Tidal Force Catering?
yankees15 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 ^ I know a lot of coasters have the elevator shaft on the opposite side of the station. I would guess it would make it easier for handicapped to get on the ride because there is less congestion. Some examples are Talon and Steel Force.
Ccron10 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Here's a BIG suprise! A friend of mine, (HPCrazy) went to HP yesterday and took some AWESOME photos of Fahrenheit. http://coaster-net.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8307&st=0&gopid=179946entry179946 Fahrenheit's track is finally completed!
yankees15 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 ^^ Thanks for those pictures. The ride will be awesome just by how tight it is. Also, I loved that last picture with the sun on the drop!
odene497 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I have a question: That one picture where the caption something like "you better be looking up", the supports don't really look bolted into the footers. I noticed this on Maverick too before it was open. Do they keep the bolts on the footers loose until the track is complete, and then tighten them all at once?
yankees15 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 ^All coasters are like this in the stage right after the track is finished. Once everything is in place, they permanently cement the footers to the supports. This stage of cementing should take place very soon. Within the next few weeks.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 you know i was thinking of going to cedar point, but im now looking at hershey park with a more interested eye
NachoR Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Love the pics! This ride is honestly spectacular in person. I'm definitely gonna try to remember to bring my camera to work on Saturday or Sunday so I can come back into the park after I'm done working and take some photos. And I'll take some shots of the large sign in Comet Hollow that serves as a precursor to Hershey's 2009 attraction. It reads.... Something cooler is coming... 2009 attraction revealed July 1. I doubt it would have any relevance, but the Coal Cracker was all torn apart. We'll see!
Kennyweird Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 According to Screamscape, Fahrenheit could be testing as early as Sunday. That's good, 'cause I really want to see what the trains look like.
Ccron10 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 (4/18/08) Screamscape sources tell us Fahrenheit may start to make test runs as early as Sunday. ^Maybe somebody might be able to get pics. I'm just wondering what the trains will look like.
kennywood!007 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 AAAAAAAAAh!!! June! I can't wait till I go in Juuuune!
Coasterlvr_nc Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Wow. This looks like a really neat ride! Now i just wish i hadnt gone last year, and instead waited until this year Cant wait to see a PoV video of it though!
ghost007jas Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 ^^ Okay, we get it, your excited, thank you. Looks like a nice coaster, still set to open next month, right? Are any of the Nantimi 11 still planning on heading out for the first ride?
CoasterEricHP Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 ^ I still plan on being there. I guess we never figured out who all 11 were? This is the first day its open to the public. I wonder when the media day will be?
ghost007jas Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 ^ Did we never find out? I thought there was someone emailing all 11.
CoasterEricHP Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 ^ I could be wrong but I thought from the start we had problems finding all 11 because they were spread over a bunch of different websites. I doubt there will be any testing for Fahrenheit today because the weather is looking pretty nasty outside! The webcam still says 4-18 too. Maybe they are hiding some kind of new train! ...... ok probably not...
fahrenheit1315 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the webcam only works during the week not weekends which stinks but its been like that
Kennyweird Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 ^^ I don't even know if the trains are assembled! It could be that this testing business was just a wild rumor.
CoasterEricHP Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Ohhhh.. that's kind of dumb to only have a webcam that works during regular business hours! lol. Well.. judging by the webpage.. it looks like they will just be Storm Runner trains only silver. Guess thats a good thing!
Ccron10 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Looks like Fahrenheit, Howler, and the Boardwalk might open up a little earlier this year. Screamscape: (4/21/08) We’ve heard that Fahrenheit may soft-open to the public on May 21st. We’ve also heard a rumor that the Boardwalk may also soft-open on the same day, even though both are officially not supposed to open until May 24th. If so, then only 1 month until we experience Fahrenheit.
