Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

[Ccron10I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

In a way, the concept art for Fahrenheit and this are similar and are similar to the real trains. The concept art also was released right around this time of the year for it as well. But I do agree that sometimes concept art can be totally the exact opposite of the real thing and doesn't really confirm anything yet. But I do hope though

By the way, the Stengel Dive was being installed today:

[djw44Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

It wouldn't shock me though, look at their track record lately with I305 and Maverick. I'll be interested to see how it plays out.

Fahrenheit, iSpeed, Formula Rossa, Cheetah Hunt, and a number of Megalites would take umbrage at that assessment.

Well Formula Rossa is trimmed to death and Fahrenheit is lousy and valleyed on its first run.

If Formula Rossa wasn't trimmed they would have to widen the exit ramp... so an ambulance could pull up to cart unconscious injured riders off the ride.

And yes, Fahrenheit valleyed. But I believe that the ride still opened that day after the train was pulled out of the cobra roll and completed its circuit. Not sure how that one incident makes Fahrenheit "lousy."

Fahrenheit is NOT lousy! It's my favorite roller coaster with inversions. It's not a crazy airtime machine, it's not a positive-G monster, but it is wicked fun.

Fahrenheit is stunningly average to me. Not counting bobsleds, it's my least favorite Intamin coaster. And it rattles............BAD.

[Bryce232Donkeys are my way of life!]

This construction has really taken off! Everytime I see just one piece of track installed, it looks 1000x more magnificent and jaw-dropping. I'm kind of glad Hershey didn't reveal an actual simulation because we get to see all of these pleasant surprises instead of knowing everything about the coaster. And thanks Ccron10 for these daily updates, I think I can speak for everyone here when I say it is much appreciated!

[Thom25Don't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

Well, for those that think Skyrush will only be an average coaster, the latest construction video may change your mind since the Stengal Dive is now complete !

Being on that first train as well as a Jr Researcher, I could be bias, but this really is moving fast and looking sweet !

NIIIIICEEEE... Love seeing this massive erection getting kinkier as it grows... And I too as part of the RIT 24 am already starting to get excited for 'first drop'....

Dude, Get a life. Please. Just because you don't like Intamin and think B&M makes the world's best coasters ever doesn't mean you should make snap and rush judgements of rides that aren't even complete. SkyRush, like many coasters, will have the same teething issues that EVERY COASTER ON THE PLANET has faced. But to bash a ride that's not even open based upon 1.) A coaster that goes 161KMH and needs to be trimmed BY DESIGN and 2.) A freak occurance due to exceptionally cold temps on opening day is absurd.

[adavisWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

"Shotgun."

Who in the RIT group would like to ride in the front row with me?

I'm talking more along the lines of I305 and Maverick track removal. I like Intamin, I was just commenting on how their engineering is not as solid as B&Ms as far as ride malfunctions and redesigns.
