COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^LOL!!! Anybody still think it's ugly now??? LOVE it! I dont think it looks ugly; however, I like i305's look better. It just seems cleaner then what they did here. But I am happy its topped of, it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^I'm not sure if this was your point, but the 2nd hill isn't built yet, so there's no way you could see it in any picture. The supports are built, and aren't visible (or hardly visible) in that picture. So my point is exactly that, that you can't see them in that picture, and since you can't see them you'll hardly see the track itself when it's there. I'm not that stupid.

The ride is going to be trimmed somewhere, I don't expect it to be flying through the entire layout without any slowing. So even if you cant see the (non-exsistant) second hill yet, id guess it wont be going full speed into it. But what do I know, I just heard that from the Chocolate Bar out front.

coasterfreak101 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^Do you have any evidence for trims? There isn't a single place where trims have been installed yet, and we've already been through how that line on the track after the Stengel Dive most likely isn't for holding trims, just like Fahrenheit's holds no brake fins either. So if you want to point out to me where the trims are going, you're more than welcome. But that's kind of an unfounded claim - if I305 can hit those transitions and hills in its first half without any trims, there's no reason for this to have any either - especially not before those first two airtime hills. And, yet again, the second hill's supports are there and you can't see them in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 No, I have no evidence, except history. Coasters have trims, plain and simple. Its likely there will be trims, that's the statement I'm making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 History in no way tells you this ride is going to have trims. History at Hershey tells me that none of their Intamins do. But that speaks nothing about this ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoguy1395 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My only theory of it had trims or not would be the experimental train design. (Lets hope not!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chroniq Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I wish "trims" was one of those banned TPR words. Whenever a ride is built, everyone becomes an engineer. -chris "brakes exist for a reason" connolly or -chris "dont worry it's intamin" connolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ^I just don't understand how people decide they can guarantee things about a ride when they aren't a single bit involved in the design and construction process. But everyone on the internet knows everything, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone on the internet knows everything, I suppose. Please calm down. The discussion had been civil up until this point and you seem to be the one who is getting bent out of shape over pointless details. Seriously, if talking about coasters get some of you this worked up, you can always turn the computer off for a while and take a deep breath.

We asked this question to Kurt Bachmann on our tour the other day and he said there will be no trims on SkyRush. So sorry, but your hunch is wrong.

Fooz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was ready to accept any and all trims, but plans for none at all? This ride seems destined for hypercoaster royalty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am happy its topped of, it looks great! I think once spring rolls around and all the trees are gown in, along with the decorative work being done around the creek, this thing is gonna look sweet. Right now with all the mud and construction equipment it is a mess. Also there really isn't any pics that are showing the full scope of things. Most of them are just up close shots of whatever work is getting done. When all is said and done and the world is right, this ride is gonna rock!

grrt Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Skyrush keeps looking better! That final piece really shows how good it's gonna look in the skyline. And an odd question... My friends insists that the park has removed sooperdooperlooper. I know this is not true... but he says he was just at the park, and the entire ride was gone. Is there ANY truth behind this? Or is it just another ridiculous GP comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ^Like five pages ago we were just talking about brand new trains for the ride. So don't worry, it's still there, and hopefully for a very long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just another ridiculous GP comment? sdL is being overhauled from the trackrails up this season, with new Gerstlauer built trains, Magnetic brakes and other hardware upgrades during the off season, which will extend it's lifespan by 30 or more years.
