Fooz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was ready to accept any and all trims, but plans for none at all? This ride seems destined for hypercoaster royalty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I dont think it looks ugly; however, I like i305's look better. It just seems cleaner then what they did here. But I am happy its topped of, it looks great! I think once spring rolls around and all the trees are gown in, along with the decorative work being done around the creek, this thing is gonna look sweet. Right now with all the mud and construction equipment it is a mess. Also there really isn't any pics that are showing the full scope of things. Most of them are just up close shots of whatever work is getting done. When all is said and done and the world is right, this ride is gonna rock!

grrt Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Skyrush keeps looking better! That final piece really shows how good it's gonna look in the skyline. And an odd question... My friends insists that the park has removed sooperdooperlooper. I know this is not true... but he says he was just at the park, and the entire ride was gone. Is there ANY truth behind this? Or is it just another ridiculous GP comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ^Like five pages ago we were just talking about brand new trains for the ride. So don't worry, it's still there, and hopefully for a very long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just another ridiculous GP comment? sdL is being overhauled from the trackrails up this season, with new Gerstlauer built trains, Magnetic brakes and other hardware upgrades during the off season, which will extend it's lifespan by 30 or more years.

grrt Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Haha, thanks for clearing that up... After all, this is the guy I've taken with me to parks for years, and such a GP-ish comment really didn't seem fitting! And to contribute to the Skyrush discussing, I'm really wondering what the forces are gonna feel like on that first drop. Its bending is quite peculiar... I'm curious as to how it'll stack up against some of the great first drops out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom25 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Considering we're going to be thrown over the top at 19 MPH, I think the first drop will be full of airtime, while with a second hill at only 80 feet, this entire ride should be epic. (Magnum's second hill is 157 feet by way of comparison). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Absolutely stunning. Previously, I had gone back and forth in my opinions of the color scheme, but no more. I like how the blue blends in with the sky, and the yellow, which I've decided is the perfect brightness for my tastes, pops against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ugh, I still say that the stacked I beam look is hideous, yet Intamin can make it look good. I guess I'm coming around in regards to the look of this thing. I still definitely want to ride it regardless of how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wonderfully beautiful pics again Chris of the new baby- and so great to see this wonderfully sensual steel beast rising up over the Sweetest Place on Earth. Four more months... Four more months... Four more months... This coaster is going to suck A$$. And it is ugly too. Yeah well, Our Hyper's bigger than YOUR hyper.... And has MUCH cooler promo stuff! Wait... Is that a LaMarcus Brothers Mid Air Excavation shirt I spy on Goliath? Why yes, YES it is... (LaMarcus Brothers Mid-Air Excavation... Preparing the air for SkyRush's future!)

GeorgeT Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Man...I hate Skyrush. It`s ugly. And it`s in the wrong country. Should be somewhere else. Germany for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreimuth Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 it`s in the wrong country. Should be somewhere else. Germany for example Word!

You know that's quite a statement when the home country of some of the most INSANE coasters on Earth has people asking for SkyRush... (And that's coming from a devout Schwarzkopf Believer...)

OCJ48 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That's going to shock the GP when they see it from the front gate. You can't see any supports in that pic because of the way the trees are. I don't think I've ever seen such a large distance unsupported, aside from maybe I305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As magnificent as that shot is, I think it will be almost entirely obscured once summer gets here and all the leaves are in. BUT, it's gonna stick out like a magnificent golden sore thumb when seen from the parking lot. That's sure to get everyone talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
