Hersheypark (HP) Discussion ThreadP. 988: "Christmas in Hershey" 2018 offerings announced!Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 4 guests Re: Hersheypark (HP) Discussion ThreadThere's the thing - I don't see twisty bits. I see fantastically-shaped hill followed by sweeping curve followed by fantastically-shaped hill. None of it's twisty, it's all smooth and it all flows.
Opinions are subjective, I know. But I just don't think you'll be able to compare it. I just feel like it's going to be completely different. ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ Check out my theme park 3D visualization portfolio!

Re: Hersheypark (HP) Discussion ThreadAnd then there's a quick directional change after the overbank/Stengel dive-esque hill, then as far as we know a twisty bit, a turnaround, and another twisty bit before two final airtime hills. Sound a little familiar?
Also, I305 has two of these fantastically-shaped airtime hills as well, and flows perfectly. It whips you, but it flows pretty flawlessly. And we haven't seen anything to tell us that we won't be thrown to the side on this either - not a single piece of track has gone up other than the first turn. 1. Skyrush | 2. Maverick | 3.

The parts of the ride after the first 2 hills is pretty twisty- and it's going to be absolutely flying. Just because it doesn't have the same shaped twists as I-305 doesn't mean it's not the same style, right? Re: Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
I mean seriously, I don't understand why everyone is getting so defensive. I am very excited to ride Skyrush this summer, I just don't understand the whole defensive aspect on the part of the fanboys. You may be, my lucky star! I'm the luckiest by far!
Re: Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
I don't keep tabs on the "style" of coasters (for example, "old-school vs "new-school" B&M). What I see in Intimidator 305 is a bunch of wide turns, one after the other, with two hills in a row built in between. I don't see any of that on Skyrush. ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ Check out my theme park 3D visualization portfolio!

Re: Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
Okay. So Sky Rush isn't like Intimidator 305. Who woulda thunk it? Two obviously different coasters....are different. Can we move on now.... Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
