^And you also have to factor in since this style of track will require less footing, that means less ground space will be taken up by the foundations, which is obviously a primary concern at Hersheypark.

I have a feeling this track will only be used when the forces on the track justify it. It's beefy as hell. It probably also couldn't be bent to the tight radii that the ZacSpin requires.

I'm loving the ground hugging turns!

LOL, I dont know if I'd consider the site being flooded when they are actually building in a river. ;) Good update!

I FINALLY got here for Christmas Candylane for the first time and I had such a great time!! They do such a good job with the park with the details of lights everywhere! I was very surprised to see the number of rides still operating during the cold months. I was extremely happy The Claw was open and could get one last ride in for the season. The N.O.E.L show was awesome! Watching it from the bridge by Sooper was amazing!
I may not know everything about coasters... what I do know is they are my life...

Buy cool t-shirts here!!!
