The trains look like Diamondbacks to me, but this is an Intamin AG, not a B&M

Interesting... seating like DB, but the even numbered rows are floorless... I'm up for another trip there. It's a nice park and after all, I've been there twice already and have yet to ride Fahrenheit!

Doin' anything Easter weekend next year, Dave?

I can't wait to see how this turns out. And I find it funny how the logo for the ride looks the same as Darien Lake's logo.

Gary, I would not hold my breath that this will be open Easter Weekend.

Titan, good catch, it does look a lot like that.

Gary, I would not hold my breath that this will be open Easter Weekend.

I wouldn't either. I was going to add "not that I think it will be open by then" but forgot to type that before I moved on to the next topic.

Lol, the POV was in No Limits.

I really, really hope that Intamin somehow tops Bizarro and El Toro. That is a TALL order, but I can always hope.

Looks like a fun ride - yet another reason I need to visit Hershey!

THis has a ton of potential. I tired to imagine the forces as we always do and if they pan out, this will be an awesome ride. It should feel a lot like I305 and Maverick but the train and seating is such a cool addition... I hope

I was really hoping for a Giga but... I305 really doesn't need to be that tall...

Did I really just say that?

What I don't understand is, how can these trains be the first in the country, but they are just like Diamondback trains? Is Ohio a new country know?

Diamondback's odd numbered rows are not floorless....

I see, thanks for the information Terpy. I did not realize that theirs were floorless.

This new coaster will definitely get me visiting Hershey next year. I wanted to go with the already impressive line up of coasters they had before this, and SkyRush just seals the deal.
