King of Ka Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Wow! This is actually slightly exciting, it looks so cool after following the progress for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deguy123 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hersheypark is just awesome in general. I have never had a bad experience there. I can't wait to ride this thing in July. I'm hoping this is not the last year of the Rapids ride! That thing always has the longest line it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 If you look at the webcam now, you can see that the loop is over 75% done! It looks very....round. Can't wait to ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hersheypark is just awesome in general. I have never had a bad experience there. I can't wait to ride this thing in July. I'm hoping this is not the last year of the Rapids ride! That thing always has the longest line it seems. I agree, getting rid of the rapids ride would be a big mistake. In general, those kind of rides are probably the best at keeping the coaster lines down in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The loop looks awesome! Also, the first corkscrew is pretty much complete. This means only the cobra roll and the rest of the norwegian loop need to be completed. Almost there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The Norwegian Loops looks a lot bigger that I thought it would be. Also the new picture on the site shows that the loops is about done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 im gonna have to find some way to get to PA for really cheap from California...guess i better start walking now if i wanna get there before the summer season ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The first corkscrew's done. Judging by the webcam images, it looks like they're beginning to work on the cobra roll. Hopefully I can make it out to Hershey Park this summer to ride this awesome coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Today we found ourselves driving by Hershey, so we figured we'd stop off and see how Fahrenheit is coming along. and the drive through Hershey, complete with Kiss Lights The Kissing Tower Storm Runner's Flying Snake Dive thingy Roller Soaker and Tidal Force A few other pics around the perimeter, like Wildcat and here's those few missing pieces Looking good, can't wait to ride it! Just looks like a few pieces left to put in place, 3 or 4 pieces of the cobra roll the Norwegian Loop looks pretty sick. All it's missing is an escalator going thru it here you can see him with his older brother in the background Lots of track in that area Here you can see its location, the ride goes towards Wildcat Coming along nicely, but still not complete. Complete up to and out of the Cobra Roll and their new kid on the block, now topped off and Norwegianed out Hershey's old new Intamin First stop was going to be Chocolate World, but it sadly closed just before we got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Looks good I cant wait to ride it! Is it just me or does that Cobra Roll look really small? Small and tight=Intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianfreak Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Looks sweet! I really need to get out to PA this summer. Thanks for the pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Wow! Thanks for the pictures Derek! I should be there on Sunday for Springtime in the Park. I can't wait to see the ride in person. My guess is that it will be complete by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterEricHP Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 It still seems weird to me that the coaster is facing the opposite way then I thought it would be going! I didnt think the Cobra Roll was going to be next to a parking lot! Looking AMAZING though! Did we ever decide if the trains will be the same design as Storm Runner? Just another similarity!

Kennyweird Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can see them finishing the track by either tomorrow or Wednesday, but definitely this week. Thanks for the pictures, I was getting tired of looking at a crooked webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks for the pics. Also, the location for FH has been changed. http://www.hersheypark.com/rides/results.php?rh=99&pa=99&rt=1 Pioneer Frontier has just scored it's 4th coaster. Now this doesn't really fit the theme for the area, it fits better in the Boardwalk, but I kinda think if they renovate CRR (or remove it) in a season or two, they can move the Boardwalk area down to FH's entrance.
