thrillseeker4552 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This is fantastic news. The current restraints don't bother me as much as they do some people, but I am still ecstatic about this and for it to hopefully make the ride more comfortable and accessible. Velocicoaster/Pantheon/etc. restraints are really the best in the business right now. If Wildcat's Revenge already wasn't enough, I'm itching to go back even more now. And I was just there in 2022!

michaellynn4 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'm just happy I'll hopefully never have to hear the stupid nickname ThighCrush ever again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the only really bad coaster at the park this just makes its world class lineup even stronger. I know I got bias, been going since a kid and it reminds me of family (and later college) in PA but this park has a lineup only behind CP and with the new RMC and better restraints (granted I never found them thaaaat bad) this is even stronger now.

prozach626 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I mean... if the restraints cause no pain people won't complain about them causing pain. The restraints ruined it for us. Aside from that, we might go back this summer. What are the big differences between Hershey Hotel and Hershey Lodge? We had fun at the lodge in 2019. This time around, we're going to spend 2 days at the park and 2 days doing whatever. We're going to take a day to hang out by the pool. The Hotel seems to be geared a little more toward relaxation/luxury. That might be our ticket this time around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I had the opportunity to experience the "new" Skyrush yesterday. Overall it is a BIG improvement! And that's coming from someone who wasn't really bothered too much by the original restraints. You can truly enjoy the drop and airtime now without your thighs taking a hit. For anyone who wasn't a fan before, I highly recommend riding again! This was an excellent move by the park and, to be honest, I'm still a little shocked they did it. Lots and lots of other parks would not invest in something like this without an obvious ROI. The updated airline/plane theming in the station is also a nice touch. Oh, and Wildcat is awesome too. It's right up there with my favorite RMCs like Iron Gwazi, ArieForce One, and Steel Vengeance. In my opinion Hersheypark now has the best and most diverse coaster lineup out there. There is truly a ride for every enthusiast's or general public's taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I need to plan a trip back out to HP. Last time we were there neither of us were a big fan of SkyRush. However, it wasn't so much the restraints, as it was the fact the coaster had one of the worst vibrations we have ever experienced. - Then again, this was back when they were loading like half trains (Or 1 party per row) so the trains were running super light. Noticed this seemed to be a thing on a lot of coasters we rode at various parks during that trip when they were running at super reduced capacity. Also, I really need to experience Storm Runner again. It was down the entire day when we were there last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Step 1: spray chemicals Step 2: load trains half empty Result: More wait and more uncomfortable ride. I miss those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyRush had an awful shake in the wing seat I rode in and was pretty smooth on an inside seat. I only had the two rides. Looking forward to getting back and trying it with the new restraints. They didn't completely ruin the ride for me, but they were very, very bad. Now I just need SFNE to replace the god awful bricks on Superman.

I'm looking forward to eventually being able to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
