XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 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?

Titan Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Gary, I would not hold my breath that this will be open Easter Weekend. Titan, good catch, it does look a lot like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Crunch Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Lol, the POV was in No Limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I really, really hope that Intamin somehow tops Bizarro and El Toro. That is a TALL order, but I can always hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looks like a fun ride - yet another reason I need to visit Hershey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Diamondback's odd numbered rows are not floorless.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I see, thanks for the information Terpy. I did not realize that theirs were floorless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplock Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
