Orion742 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I didn’t see Another thread about this but I saw that Hersheypark put a sign out in front of Wildcat that says. “You wanted it, you asked for it, here it is.”11/2/2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomPlague Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Why not. Various entertainment industries have been doing that for years. Announcements of announcements and even special websites counting down to said announcement. Teasers for teaser trailers, short teaser clips literally right before the actual movie trailer (that one really bugs me), and so on. I hope they go the Six Flags route and just attach a word before "Wildcat" Twisted, wicked, steel, iron... I'm hoping for Wild Wildcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 If anyone here remembers the Fahrenheit announcement and build up, this is nothing new to how HP announces things. Also, they're totally jacking UCs branding with the red and black claw marks. (/sarcasm)- edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think an eastern Pennsylvania amusement park has the intent of taking a secondary logo from a midwestern college who hasn’t used the scratch mark since the mid 2010s.

MDMC01 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Saw the video; looks pretty cool. Interesting choice going for a straight drop rather than Wildcat’s curved drop. A cool detail I noticed on the logo is that there are two claw marks- almost like “Wildcat II”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that RMC is straying away from curved drops. They've mentioned many times that the best option for lift structures is the steel lifts on rides like Zadra and Iron Gwazi. I have a feeling that almost every conversion will have these from now on. Also, notice the first element after the drop and it will make much more sense. The first inversion is what was the lift and drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Re: in bold) I kinda thought they’d do something different with the drop (as I saw part of a video either this morning or last night showing that the curved drop was removed), but it’s good to get a confirmation. Also, that layout picture is very helpful @DiamondbackFan. Thanks for (re)posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastercrush Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Straight drops has better airtime. A curved to straight like expedition GeForce would be ideal though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hershey has removed their Whip. It will be interesting to see if it ends up being sold somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 That's too bad. If Knoebels, Dorney, and Kennywood didn't already have their respective Whips, I'd hope for it to go their way. If KI wanted to, say, reimagine Coney Mall to be more like the Coney Island of old and kick that off by snatching this up, I sure wouldn't mind! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor.B03 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The Hershypark whip was not fun, when I went in 2021, me and my family rode it. It's not forceful at all, one of the saddest whips I rode. On top of that, the ride was VERY loud. They had earplug containers at the operator's booth because it was so loud. If you need earplugs to work a ride all day, there's a serious issue. We came off of that ride very underwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
