bottom_feeder_13 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 They have to be overhead lap-bars for the outer seats at least, seeing as there isn't any floor to attach a standard one to in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 To be honest, the shoulder part of the Intamin harnesses aren't what bother me, it's the lap bar part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think I'm going to wait and see first before commenting on the restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intarider Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Actually, on the artwork the restraints look a lot like the system Mack uses on Blue Fire, don't they? If the restraints were basically i305-style without the OTS-part, they could indeed be painful for some riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Oh god here we go...it's going to be like the I305 restraint argument ALL over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'm not gonna get in on the discussion on the restraints, but from the look of the concept art it looks to be something new. Looks like a huge lap bar attatched from the top, like Blue Fire, or Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVicesAndVirtues Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ^What, nobody told you?!? This coaster is mini-305! !!!111 But, in all seriousness, I'm not crazy about the lap bar part of the Intamin overhead/ots restraints either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Whatever the restraint system will be, it will be overhead. That shouldn't be being disputed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It's amazing to me that soon the view in that second picture^ will have 5 different coasters in it. 5!!!! I swear, this park has a special ability to bring out the child in me. And it does it more than any other park I've ever been to. I can't wait to see what starts to go up over the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ^Behind Storm Runner's Cobra Roll. As for the lapbars, I would expect them to look similar to the ones on Shoot-The-Rapids or Pilgrim's Plunge. If so, then this might end up being epic!

UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ^ I couldn't see it until I zoomed in, Sidewinder was blending in with the tree branches. You're right, 6 COASTERS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ^^ Since when does Storm Runner have a Cobra Roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 ^^ Since when does Storm Runner have a Cobra Roll? I ment Immelmann. It was either one of the two. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I seem to remember Intamin calling the element a "Cobra Loop". If you look at the element from the side it is initially shaped like half of a Cobra Roll, which then dives down completing the immelman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Taken by Harry over at the Project 2012 facebook page. I have a photo update coming up from yesterday and I plan on snapping a photo of this later on today. It's estimated to be around 250ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a new update showing the crane in the air. According to one of the park's Twitter pages, vertical construction MIGHT start this week! http://keystonethrills.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/hersheypark-skyrush-construction-update-51-11-9-to-11-11-11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 That crane picture just gave me chills! I'm so excited to follow the construction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 The crane sitting on that gravel road at the bottom of the site is very interesting. There must be a very specific order of what piece goes in when, so not to block its path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
