Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

It seems like the clearance between the outer seats and the ground may be similar to Manta and the waterfall. If so, this thing is gonna be intense!

[SharkTums]

It already looks better than Leviathan!

[RollerCoasterSmi]

^ I think you have just upset alot of Beemer fanboys! But I have to agree SkyRush just looks alot more intense and looks like the better coaster. I originally thought (from the crappy HP animation) that SkyRush would be dull...

LOL!!!

 

That one picture alone does make me more excited for SkyRush though.

More Skyrush photos.. Now with 73 percent more aerial photos

If I told you the track in this photo was actually attached to footers and in place would you believe me? No? Go check the much better photos of it taken by the poster above and apologize please.

Here is some track and supports that just met, but plan on getting together Monday if things work out between them.

Does a track sit in the woods?

I have no idea what this is, but I think this might be related to the new slushy stand they are building.

This is the world's worst water feature.

I tried to gain access to the apartment building in this photo to get some more exclusive angles of the skyrush construction and was immediately arrested.

I was told by the four year old standing next to me, that this was the motor that would power the lift hill using nothing but water. I was unable to verify the rumor.

This photo was taken from the top of the kissing tower. I probably should have read the sign before going on this ride as, apparently, kissing the ride op is not allowed.

One more aerial shot of skyrush. Just a quick note that this was my son Bean's (we were drunk when we named him) first trip to an amusement park. So I hope you check out my upcoming trip report of how a 10 week old enjoys riding front seat on Storm Runner. Thanks for reading!

That sucker is flying up. I'm really surprised that they've gotten this far into construction. I'm hoping to go to Hersheypark next year to ride this but who knows what will happen. It will be a pain in the ass to wait in line so long for it.

Best post here.

 

Wow, I love the way this thing looks. The interaction with the terrain is really awesome, and I bet with the lake below full of water, this thing will be incredibly impressive!

great Tron reference in the concept art Jedimaster1227

I have no idea what this is, but I think this might be related to the new slushy stand they are building.

I heard that they were going to melt down all the steel and make the slushy stand the showcase attraction for 2012. You know, to give it some flair.

 

It's only a rumor though. The guy at the Dippin' Dots stand at IAAPA told me. So take it with a grain of salt, unless you don't like salt with Dippin' Dots. Maybe you should use sprinkles instead.

I heard the exact same thing. I think this will be a great addition to Hershey in 2012.

Yeah, that's some nice work there.

 

Thank you for enduring arrest for our benefit. Did Bean post bail for you?

[cfc]

Many of us at East Coast Bash thought it was a bit odd that SkyRush supports were stored in plain view along a public street, yet there were no pictures of them on the Internet (as near as we could tell). Thanks for the look at the construction, Chris.

Cwmania.com = mad at this comment

 

[Skycoastin Steve]

^I'm going to go ahead and say SkyRush could very well end up better than Leviathan. Obviously, the fun part will be finding out, but I'd put my money on an Intamin hyper over just about anything else.

More Skyrush photos.. Now with 73 percent more aerial photos

 

73 percent more aerial photos just made this thread 20 percent cooler!!!

[FaithnotForgotten]

Here is my update for the day, a third piece of track has been added and a few more little supports!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope to get another update on Wednesday!

[UnderCoverDrummer1]

It's amazing to see the men next to the track in the first picture. Really puts into perspective the difference in track size, even between this and I305.

 

Great pictures Cody! And thanks for the frequent photo updates!

[hersheycoaster13]

Are the three pieces of track not all conected together or there all connected at this point. And are the pieces part of the first drop.

The new Intamin track is just so darn sexy

Really hope to se them start making smaller coasters with this new track.
