sspaz1000 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 IN other news - things are looking quite promising!! Don't know when I'm going to get back to Hershey - but SkyRush is making me feel a tugging in that direction! I hope you do come up this way David!

Meteornotes Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The track looks really dirty. Imagine how dirty the restraints would be if the padding was already removed. Larry wins the thread. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The full train is now parked inside the station. Also, Looper's station looks like it's going to be painted a different color. http://keystonethrills.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/hersheypark-skyrush-construction-update-108-4-24-12/ Had to include this photo!

Tmcdllr Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Looks like SDL is getting magnetic braking? The pic shows the original brakes gone and fins installed in their place.... interesting. Maybe this could happen to Revolution (minus the trims)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffeine_demon Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 those restraints look odd - sort of "OTSLS"'s - (That's over the shoulder leg squashers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_RULES Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Looks like SDL is getting magnetic braking? The pic shows the original brakes gone and fins installed in their place.... interesting. Maybe this could happen to Revolution (minus the trims)? Those aren't magnetic brake fins, those are the brackets that held the old braking mechanisms in place as seen in the bottom left of this photo. Not saying they won't be putting mags in though, because the brakes are clearly gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinning man Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Squirrel plus coaster you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo1188 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I like the little red swinging doors they added at the exit stairway. All the coasters at Hershey have those wider blue exit doors and I always feel awkward letting them go because they swing with such force and I don't want to hit anybody, especially an unsuspecting child, with it. I feel like the red ones serve the same purpose while being a lot more miniscule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehaggar Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I stopped by the construction site today in hopes they would be testing the ride. There were a few construction guys very close to the fence, so I asked them if they knew when testing would begin. They told me there's a few bugs to work out, but testing could begin as early as "tomorrow or the next day" meaning Thursday or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 That's great news! I'll eagerly await the next few days. I expect the train to go slower in the first tests than later on, but I can't wait to see the train go around the track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinning man Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The other set of trains have arrived and are being placed on the track. Taken by the park and posted on their twitter page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
