I think you should wait and ride it before you judge it. Just because you've seen an animated video does not mean you have any idea how thrilling or not thrilling it will be.

I would love to see a Farris wheel at Kings Island. If only CF had a used one sitting around at another park.

Yea...

I like it. Come on guys, it's better than nothing.

I would like to see something like Behemoth at canada's wonderland for king's island. It is awesome.

I think we definately need a roller coaster with 3 trains and 32 passengers to help keep the capcity up on new ones we get

OMG I would love Behemoth!

Hmmm.

I know a VERY similar coaster that is longer, goes faster and doesn't have brakes at the top of every hill. Not only is it longer, it completes its trip on its LONGER course in FIFTY SECONDS LESS time.

Those brakes at the top of every hill must have a MAJOR effect on this new B and M.

^Still can't figure out why B&M feel that they need so many trim breaks on their coasters. Look at Intamin...seems to be the opposite.

But the odd thing is the coaster I was talking about IS a B & M and is in New Jersey, of all places (a state with safety rules like no other!)

AWESOME!

By the way, an aside.

a. It's Hersheypark, not Hershey Park.

b. It's NOT owned by the Hershey Chocolate people! It's owned by Hershey Entertainment and Resort Company, which is not connected with The Hershey Company. Chocolate World IS owned by The Hershey Company and is NOT owned by HERCO.

Um, not quite...You have it mostly right though!

The Hershey Trust wholly owns Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company. Also, The Hershey Trust who owns HERCO Has majority of the voting stock ownership in The Hershey Company. By way of ownership, management aside, they are connected!

Once again, Interpreter is right in the respect that The Hershey Company does NOT own Hersheypark but it does happen to be majority owned by the same people that do own Hersheypark.

What About Chocolate?

Many people wonder how Hershey Entertainment & Resorts is related to The Hershey Company, makers of HERSHEY'S chocolate products. When Milton Hershey offered stock in the Hershey Chocolate Corporation in 1927, he segregated the business of making chocolate from his other enterprises. These other businesses were formed into a separate company called Hershey Estates, now known as Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company.

Prior to this, in 1909, he created a deed of trust establishing the Hershey Industrial School for orphan boys, later renamed the Milton Hershey School. The Hershey Trust, as trustee for the Milton Hershey School, owns Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company in its entirety. In addition, the Hershey Trust owns the majority of the voting stock of The Hershey Company, a publicly held company.

Today, the profits generated by these entities perpetuate the Hershey Trust, which in turn funds the Milton Hershey School.

^ Umm... O.K.?

In any event, Hersheypark is still the sweetest place on earth, and a place you will never find M & M's or Mars bars. At least not yet....

Bummer, there Yummy!

That would be a terrible addition too small capacity. Maybe a larger car would make it a decent ride. Behemoth looks great. (sorry couldn't resist bringing this topic back up )

It looks like a short ride so Capacity shouldn't be a problem, it also it depends of fast it takes to load and unload the train. EX:Firehawk

IMO, I think that ride is more of a Carnival themed type ride. Not amajor theme park ride.

*hides head as to not get it cut off.*

I've been on HalfPipe at Elitch Gardens. It wasn't that great. It was okay, but the spinning action wasn't that great, and the line was horrible. Of course, that may be because it was a Six Flags when I went, but still...

I always thought this roller coaster would be really fun so I think KI should build one, its small, would fit anywhere, and could be an adult version of Avatar

That reminds me of Wicked Twister.....Wicked Avatar

I think this would be a fun addition http://www.hussrides.com/index.php?option=...9&Itemid=57

Above is a picture and it holds 36 people.

I believe that ride was recently removed from SFNE because of all the reliability problems it had. Only one was ever put in a park.

I'm pretty sure there is atleast one other park that's in Europe and has on of those Huss Flying Enterprises.

Yeah I think it's only in one park in England.A Chance Morgan Aviator which has been stated many times would be awesome.I found this as well http://www.zierer.com/Starshape.htm go to that site and look for a Star Shape here is a picture .

Thanks Cedar Pointer for the link to the Star Shape.

That's cool.

I think they should get the Enterprise from Cedar Point or anothe CF park.

Given the great deal of interaction Cedar Fair (and Paramount Parks before it) and other park chains have had to have with Huss over various installations, I would not hold my breath waiting for them to install many more of them.

isn't that just a star shaped version of Delirium??

Nope...it goes much higher than Delirium, and if you look carefully, you will see the seats also rotate entirely around at the same time the arm itself is swinging around...

Here's Zierer's description of the ride action:

...The Star Shape will thrill you, swing you, turn you and spin you 360°. Your feet will dangle towards the sky and the earth. The sensation of smoothness, the feeling of freefall, the lust of speed and the experience of flying, the combination of all theses movements have never been introduced to the industry. First the main arm starts its movement followed by the movement of the gondola cross with variable speed. The gondola arms swing freely so that a wonderful upside down movement is possible.

This is from the link in the post you quoted!

There is actually a video of the ride in motion there, too!

I want an Enterprise. I saw one at Cedar Point and heard that a lot of the old Paramount Parks had them back when they were Taft or something. Plus they look like really cool rides!

There was a version of that Star Shape at the Ohio State Fair a couple years ago, and I was there with one of my friends and the guys running the ride were trying to pick her up, but she wasn't going for it, so when we got on it they left us on there three times longer than the ride had been running times before that. Mind you I have rode hundreds upon hundreds of rides but I have never been so sick as I was on that one, I had to lay on the pavement when I got off, not only me but there were at least 6 other people throwing up in trash cans. I think it could be a very fun ride, but I don't think people could handle being on it for very long.. When they stopped us at the top, and we were hanging completely sideways the thought of being at a fair and the security restraints failing was enough to scare you to death. I think Kings Island would see alot of cleaning up after people if they put something in like that.
