This train design is really starting to grow on me.

 

do the outside seat riders all have to wear bondage straps then?

 

Looks awesome!

Is Sooperdooperlooper being sponsored by PennDOT this year?

ALWAYS wear a high-visibility jacket (or in this case, coaster train)!

That thing hauled @$$ when it just crawled over the lift. Imagine full speed?

I don't have the popularity on TPR to pull off that joke effectively, so glad someone else who does posted it instead.

Another video from Project 2012, of the 4th EVER test run.

 

[greatfundeals]

thanks for the video..opening day cannot come soon

[galindoverhere]

The Shaky Camera reminds me of The Hunger Games Looks nice, and my those airtime hills get so close to each other! That really looks like a one of a kind thrill and I look forward to riding it this summer.

 

Nice Job HP!

Seriously disappointed that Hershey isn't an option for me when I'm back east this summer, because holy crap that is a lot of airtime I can not wait until this thing is running up to full speed because it is really going to kick some major @$$!

[ernierocker]

Interesting video above. I especially love the videographers random impulse to quickly pan the camera on the guardrail right before the coaster began its first drop.

[coasternut]

Count me in for this one... I'm ready to rush the sky!

[Skycoastin Steve]

Was Michael J. Fox filming these videos? Either way, ride looks pretty damn good. Can't wait to get on it opening day!

[christianscoasters]

Has anyone figured out yet what those noises were? Sounds like something flying off the ride. Of course, it could just be the construction crew adding the final details to the ride somewhere. Hmm. Who knows.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^Bionic body parts of the cyborgs who were riding.

[coasterbear30]

^^^ LOL

 

OMG, this looks like the best ride EVAR! I mean look at it's sexy hills and OMG the airtime is going to be astronomical! I mean I can't believe how amazing this ride looks. It is like the end all, be all of ALL coasters. It came directly from the coaster gods. Intamin is GOD! There will never be a coaster better than Skyrush!!!!!!

 

You people make me laugh.

[PhantomNick]

^ I know! I mean, what kind of world are we living in?? A coaster is set to open up, and it has what looks like a great layout, and some coaster enthusiasts are EXCITED to ride it?!?! How terrible!

[Skycoastin Steve]

^He's just a little shell shocked that a coaster that nobody has ridden yet is actually getting love and nobody is complaining. I have to admit, it's a little surprising. Give him some time, he'll come around.

[Ed Farmer]

You'd be hard pressed to find a ride that looks more promising. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the steep angle of ascent with bulky track and minimal support lift hill is a pretty horrid look. It works well on a 300+ footer but gives this one a cartoonish appearance. Things like this are easy to look past if it gives the ride it looks like it's capable of giving.

[coasterbear30]

Honestly, Leviathan looks better to me. I wasn't hard pressed to come up with one. It was easy.

[coasterfreak101]

Ah, the B&M hyper-preferring people of the world. I'll never understand you!

[GeorgeT]

Me too. This thing looks as if it`s an airtime suckers wet dream...nothing short of amazing !

 

Too bad it`s not in Europe (End of criticism).

 

It will rock the polls...I see this as the upcoming nuber one in steel...everything else would be a surprise for me.

^The brake run is too high. Other than that it looks great.

 

 

What?.... Seriously the brake run is too high? And how high should it be?

 

 

In the test video the peeps commented on "screws flying off the train"- LOL

I'm just messin with you

[Skycoastin Steve]

You guys do realize that he was just poking fun at the people who were complaining about Leviathan's brake run, right?
