We are looking at going for Haunt like we did last time.

Then I guess I will have to attend my first CW haunt. Ouch and pay admission... Well worth it. Thats actually a decent call because the 10-5 portion of those days are really dead. I won't be around for the weekend on oct 13th fyi. Its my 5 year wedding anniversary and I'll be in Montreal. You could do marineland during the day on sat. Haunt sat night and then do a 10-5 wonderland on the sunday. Just an option. I think marinland closes the first weekend of oct. So if you wanted to do haunt and ML it would have to be that weekend.

Anyways back on topic. I am reallllly pumped about hershey this summer. Maybe it's because Hershey is the first place I went to as an "enthusiast" but I just love that place. The first time we went in 2008 we brought back our then 2 year old daughter a hershey sweater and she loved it. Obviously now its too small for her which made her really sad when she had to admit it didnt fit her. I can't wait to see her face when we show her and buy her the same one in a bigger size. It's the little things like that, that make places special. Also my wife makes the most insanely awesome cinnimon chip cookies and the chips can only be found in hershey pa, at chocolate world.

As for the ride.. It's flying under the radar for me a little bit but I fully expect it to be awesome. Rides are always better when their greatness sneaks up on you. When you expect alot you are almost always dissapointed. I think this is why I like Ravine flyer so much.

This footage is sick. It almost looks like they are fast-forwarding the video lol

I can't wait.

Neither can I. I still cannot get over how funky the trains look on an Intamin coaster.

When is opening day?

This looks really fun. I can not wait!

I guess the ride still needs some breaking in, the wheels are really squeaky going over the hills.

Millennium Force 44 · « **Reply #82 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:25:50 PM »

OMG this view is awesome!

Blackhand1001 · « **Reply #83 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:38:49 PM »

Very excited for this. Guess I may be heading out to Hershey soon.

B-mac · « **Reply #84 on:** May 18, 2012, 09:47:12 AM »

Less than 3 weeks until my trip, June 11th.

Ogolo · « **Reply #85 on:** May 18, 2012, 11:09:44 AM »

VIPeter (now just Peter) and myself have a Hershey Park trip planned for Monday June 11th also.

Official POV video from Hershey Park.
Looks like they have a winner!

Looks really nice. Hope it's not broken down when I visit. Hersheys Coaster line-up is so unique. That's one thing I really like about it.

AV Matt · « **Reply #88 on:** May 21, 2012, 03:56:11 PM »

Well it is an Intamin...

Here's hoping each of those hills is powerful and this ride truly rocks hard. I really want this one to be great!

You're a very confusing individual. Doesn't el toro meet that criteria lol.

Ogolo · « **Reply #90 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:25:28 PM »

Classic!!

The last hill on El Toro doesn't deliver every time.
So it doesn't fit the "every hill" category.

Hopefully SkyRush's restraints are a little more forgiving than El Toro.

AV Matt · « **Reply #91 on:** May 21, 2012, 09:59:31 PM »

El Toro has four fantastic hills... and four dead hills. I want eight fantastic hills. Hell, eight almost fantastic hills are better than the El Toro method.

Millennium Force 44 · « **Reply #92 on:** May 21, 2012, 10:20:58 PM »

looks incredible! The drop looks so steep in the POV

ChuckR · « **Reply #93 on:** May 21, 2012, 10:54:45 PM »

Next Monday I'll be there!

Ogolo · « **Reply #94 on:** June 11, 2012, 09:04:39 PM »

Hershey is such a nice park!

I'm not going to say much for those who have not ridden yet.
Back Right Wing is the seat!
The ejector air is much different than El Toro as it puts pressure on a different area of the leg.
Hope they don't change it but it does seem like an i305 modification could happen.
I was also amazed at how close you could get to the track for this ride. Shoe would have a field day with his camera!

That crazy mouse ride and Lightning Racer were the two surprises of the trip.
Wildcat train empty = good, Wildcat full train = horrible.
Storm Runner > Ka

Nice visit and who can complain about free sun screen and hand sanitizer!

B-mac · « **Reply #95 on:** June 11, 2012, 10:11:58 PM »

hi i will be uploading some pictures tomorrow morning. Really, really, really powerful. just need to make the harnesses more forgiving and actaully keep me somewhere close to the seat. I literally have never been so far out of my seat on a ride like that and i rode in the second row left wing.

B-mac · « **Reply #96 on:** June 12, 2012, 03:29:02 PM »

here's some coaster candy for you guys!

Can't believe you have never been before.

I really like the mouse there too. Best one i've been on.

Storm Runner > Ka is an understatement. Other than being short SR is epic.

What did you think of Comet? That was my pleasant surprise the first time. Didn't really enjoy it trip two.

Ogolo · « **Reply #99 on:** June 15, 2012, 07:35:21 PM »

Comet = Eh..Not so great.
SkyRush and Super Dooper Looper may have gotten all the love this off season.
Very small seats and we had a seat in the middle.
No seat choice due to how their Fast Track system works.
