Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

[A.J.Counts I305 as 32 credits...]

Megalites are a perfect example of this. If no one on TPR had ridden one what would be the overall opinion of them?

There wouldn't be one.

There's something about Intamin double-spine track that makes me... um... "very happy in a romantic way." That turn does indeed look like it's going to be blistering, especially in the inside wing seat.

Hersheypark is becoming one of the world's most awesome Intamin showcases.

I'm not going to lie, at first the ride didn't really impress me much. Now that its being built and i've taken a good long look at the layout, I'm getting really eRxcited for this. I can't wait for my first visit to Hershey and to ride this monster! =]

There's something about Chocolate parks and their love of a particular manufacturer... Europa has Milka and Mack, Hershey has, well, Hershey and Intamin AG. Not that I'm complaining or anything....

(I'm secretly fantasizing about a terrain Blitz coaster from them as their #4 Intamin....)

^A Blitz coaster would be swell, but I'm praying for AQUATRAX, baby!

[Myselfthe ghost seems to think there is a "Donkey Fairy"]

As I mentioned a while back, I wouldn't mind Intamin #4 being a Zacspin to fulfill the cancelled Turbulence plan.

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

No Aqautrax! The Coal Cracker hydroflume is a great ride and a classic. Cannot endanger that.

[coasterking2981When I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

^^^At least this coaster isn't 300ft tall!

That wouldn't have bothered me. Its just for me and yes I KNOW I should be grateful for any coaster we are ever given on this earth. I really do. Its just to me Intamin is losing its touch, just my opinion, where companies like Premier and Zamperla are jumping into the "Big" Leagues and making big boy toys.

What I meant was its not like Leviathan. At least Skyrush, relative to the terrain and land it has to fit in, seems to me like it makes better use of its height imo. Leviathan...not so much, at least not in my opinion. That long brake run could have at least been cut in half to make way for a few more hills and/or turns. But I've never been to Canada's Wonderland, so idk how much land the ride is actually going to take up, and maybe B&M decided to play it safe with their new design.

Anywho, getting back on subject...

The lift is going up! I'll have more photos posted soon.

I can't wait for more!!!
