eddie200330 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Kissing Tower overview pic makes this thing look like it is totally gonna haul ass!!!!!! Also it doesn't really look as tacky and out of place as I first thought it would....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ^^Quite the contrary in my opinion. I thought it was ingenious that they stuffed the restrooms under the station. Great way to save space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinTheAttendant Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ^Oh, of course it's an intelligent way to save space, I was just saying that the position of the sign for the restroom almost looks like it's advertising the coaster as "Skyrush" in that particular picture. I'm sure it's much more discrete in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I now have a much better feel for the closeness with Comet. That should be a fun change for riders. Even though it's now complete, Skyrush still manages to look more and more artful by the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It looks as if the coaster itself is called "Restrooms". No it doesn't, no one is going to think the coaster is called Restrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's pretty impressive how they built that large new ride in a fairly tight area. But will the restrooms be equally as impressive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 As much as Comet Hollow looks cramped now with Skyrush I must say that the ride looks incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they open now? Can someone give us a restroom Photo TR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If they had named the coaster Restrooms, I'd totally buy the shirt. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Engineer Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wow. This thing just screams sex appeal. I mean, seriously. I have wanted to go to Hershey for awhile now... I don't know if I can wait much longer. Need to start trip planning! These pictures really highlight how friggin' steep that lift hill is. WOW.

You're absolutely right, I had forgotten to include "in that photo" on that post. It was just my failed attempt at trying to get a little laugh. On another note, I love the clocks on the station's tower. It's such a charming touch and fits in well with the rest of Comet Hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Found some cool photos on the HersheyparkPR Twitter page: The catchcar has been installed on the lift hill! Computer room, I believe. The famous edge seat. Check out that zero-car! That looks like a long catch car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wow, that zero-car looks awesome! Certainly a lot better than what I've seen in the concept art. Is the floor of that front car not installed yet or something? Not really sure what's going on in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is it just me or does this seem taller than 200 feet? It looks more like 220 feet based on the aerial from the Kissing Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 No, if anything, I'd say that the ride actually looks shorter in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm just going by what I see in the aerial since I haven't seen it in person. Maybe the pit is giving the illusion that it's taller than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator305 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 No, if anything, I'd say that the ride actually looks shorter in person. Judging from the photos, it definitely doesn't look too tall... which is a good thing in my opinion! Hersheypark shouldn't have something that awkwardly stands out in the skyline which is why I think the height of Skyrush is perfect. It is plenty tall enough to get the hyper feeling, but also not something that will dwarf the surrounding area's great attractions since everything is pretty much right on top of each other. I also like how low to the ground the rest of the layout is besides the first hill as it allows the ride not to completely dominate that part of the park. Hersheypark and Intamin did a fantastic job designing this ride for looks, so I definitely can't wait to find out how it rides! And yes, those edge seats look awesome. They should give a very unique experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Wow, that train looks like one of the most bare/simplistic trains I've ever seen on a coaster of this magnitude. This is going to be an awesome coaster! Soooooo happy I'll be riding it this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm just going by what I see in the aerial since I haven't seen it in person. Maybe the pit is giving the illusion that it's taller than it is. I'm not sure. I remember the first time I saw Steel Force at Dorney Park (I was like, six or seven), it looked absolutely massive. Then, the first time I saw Skyrush in person, our tour group was in the pit now filled by the creek, and it was incredibly weird that it didn't seem all that tall, although the lift hadn't been topped off then. I even passed by it again in March with the lift completed, and it once again didn't seem as tall. But the height of the lift hill is in fact 200 feet, make no mistake about that.

Guy T. Koepp Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^I am quite certain, that at some point in my life, I will, in fact, make a mistake about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I find that it depends on what angle you look at it. If you are in The Hollow, it does look a lot taller than it is, but if you're along park Bulevard, it does look shorter, but then again, you are seeing it from 30 feet above the creek.
