Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

[chickenbowlJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

It's on Facebook. From what I've read so far, the consensus is that the best airtime happens on the bunny hops near the end.

That's not a consensus, that's what one person has said. So the reviews don't mean much, they're from two people that haven't been on many roller coasters and don't have anything to compare Skyrush with.

Where exactly is this page on facebook?

^it's a private group off of the Hersheypark page. I'm pretty sure you have to be invited to join.

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

The private group is mostly the Jr. Researchers that won the contest, the ride reviews on facebook can be found here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/Project2012/

Good deal, glad to hear the airtime is as good as advertised.

It poured off and on during the operating day at East Coast Bash last year, and I was still able to get on all the coasters I wanted to multiple times. It seemed like the park was kind of crowded that day as well. I'm remaining in "blue-sky thinking" mode.

Hershey has always seemed to be packed to the gills with people, but the ride lines never seemed so bad. I have had visits where you could hardly walk around the park because of the people yet never waited more than 15 - 30 minutes for any of the rides???? Kinda weird......

Trouble with waits mostly shows up in the waterpark honestly (and Fahrenheit of course), where you can end up waiting the full queue for the most of those attractions on a typical summer day ( and it only gets worse if the temperature creeps up), even waiting in line to get in the wave pool is common.

From this sounds of some of the reviews Intamin/HP may need to add some padding to those OTS lapbars, I'm hearing the unseasoned riders mentioning thigh pain from the ejector on this thing . I know I can't not wait to ride this coaster everything about it looks awesome imo, It may be short but it looks very sweet

I've never heard of a media-day taking place at night. Can't wait to have a full review of this beast.
