QueerRudie Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ^^&^ It will also hit up the new coaster at BGW and some other parks along the way! Kleenex, Please. Now. 1.) The Mother Zierer 2.) This F'ing coaster Hershey's been toying with me on now for six F'ing months 3.) Dolly. (Nuff' said- although if she's THERE while we're THERE, OMG!)

G-Force! Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I believe that picture is upside down. The upstops are typically smaller on the bottoms of tracks. Anyway, the pictures and everything all point to Intamin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm getting the vibe that Hershey is hinting at some sort of hyper/mega I305 style coaster which will make its way up and back the river which runs down the entrance to the park. Something themed to a constellation similar to Great Bear in the Comet Hollow area, which would make its way up towards chocolate world and back with lots of speed and airtime. I'm only speculating based on the construction so far and a passage in that RIT interview which says " The inversions or lack thereof are....leading many enthusiasts to speculate on the... without having seen the actual blueprints." Seems like "lack of inversions" is a pretty clear pointer to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmcdllr Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Answers to some of the submitted questions have been posted at http://www.rideinstitute.com/pdf/RIT_Interview.pdf Interesting wheel bogie on the bottom of the last page: This picture is confusing as it shows one wheel turned 90 degrees in relation to the other two....how is that supposed to work? I would guess Intamin 12 inversion coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The turned wheel rides the side of the rail, and the other two are top and bottom. But I think they're flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This picture is confusing as it shows one wheel turned 90 degrees in relation to the other two....how is that supposed to work? Those are the guide wheels that prevent the train from falling off the track to the left or right. You can clearly see them in the picture of Storm Runner below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah, I think that picture is upside-down - the bigger wheel that's on the bottom looks like it should be on the top of the assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Does this seem earlier than normal for stuff to start showing up? And wouldn't they try to get the parts closer to the main construction area as opposed to the opposite side of the park? What's HP's max height restriction? Sounds like they may be getting a giga to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 ^It's already been confirmed to be 212ft tall if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterSmi Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 WooHoo they responded to my question. I cannot see the first blacked out bit saying no inversions or similar, the rest of the sentence would not make sense. Also what is "the most ... of all time. Ever." Can we now pretty much guarantee this thing will have inversions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyEisentrout Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Fun, they answered my question. Interesting statement about Lap Restraint System. Could it be just a lap bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDcoasterMAN Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 ^Maybe he's hinting is more than just a lap bar... like the normal Intamin restraint. BTW. Screamscape posted a link to this site would have pics of Intamin Supports onsite. http://www.pacoasternews.com/2011/06/hersheypark-new-roller-coaster-supports-on-site/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom25 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I completely agree that airtime could be "All of which will produce the most," - just like BGW did when they opened AC and Intamin is the company that can deliver no doubt imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno...its 10 places for letters/space/characters. After playing the word game I place my money on "inversions" Since that is enough characters to fill the blacked out section. Airtime, air time, nor air-time would work because it would be an extra space somewhere in there... But anything is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If the leaked layout is the true layout, this will have exactly zero inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDo217 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Bleh, I really hope this is an airtime machine and not a looper. If the 212 height is correct though, I can't see how it would be a multi-looper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Instead of it reading Airtime, it could well say Negative G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Here's the believed layout again, to quell some confusion - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom25 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Jarmor, you really had me going with your logic until I counted the spaces myself and came up with 11. I think you forgot to count the very last space and as someone else posted, it could say "Negative Gs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
