I was surprised at the new lift structure compared to I305, but think it will look amazing when done. Keep in mind they still have about 70 feet to go before they top off the lift. While Hershey has maximized their space with this ride, I do not think it "cramps" the park because 95% of the ride...

Progress is is going very well, with the lift being next in line and expected to be completed within the next couple of week. You can see the latest update from yesterday at All American Thrills http://allamericanthrills.freeforumsblogs.com/t6-skyrush-official-discussion-thread#47

Yup it goes right over comet and then will travel basically over the running water of the creek. Since the creek is now flooded again, this vid will give you a sense of what the ride will look like AND how GREAT it is coming along. http://youtu.be/dpvuDdEEOZc

As an Intamin fan-boy, I continue to gush over how this ride is developing. Our favorite steel worker has posted 3 new videos, and it looks like another 90 degree banked turn has been installed over Comet as the last turn before the break run. IMHO, this ride is going to be insane. :shock...

I don't think we'll see any surprises like trims, and even if we do, the trims on RoS/Bizzaro aren't even noticeable. This was my Skyrush surprise this week - http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 9137_n.jpg I think Skyrush is going to be a mega-lite on steroids and an amazing ride...

I think after you look at today's latest picture, we can all agree it IS a Stengal Dive. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s320x320/395515_10150536449420930_500510929_11190904_381339874_n.jpg

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark A couple of us over at Facebook have been talking to the steel worker who took the video below and sent the following: Glad u like the vids. I was shooting them for family and friends. The roller coaster fans seem to really like them too which is fine...

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark One of the construction workers posted this amazing video of track being put into place. Enjoy http://youtu.be/yN-cmXRGAcE

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark Skyrush is currently scheduled to open May 24, 2012. It will NOT be open in April (sorry).

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark Joe, there are three (3) people on the facebook pages that work for the park and have connections and communication to upper management. They are convinced of lapbars for Skyrush and have changed the ride's description to reflect the lapbar...

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark Intricks, you seem a bit bitter not being chosen to be a Jr. Researcher by Hershey. You know the group, you know 2 work for Hershey, and you know we have been directly told by Hershey that the ride will have lap bars. I'm surprised at your "negative...

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark My source for Skyrush having only lap bars is Hershey themselves.

Re: "Skyrush" - Intamin Hyper - Hersheypark It has been confirmed that Skyrush will have lap bars ! :angel:

Re: "Shambhala", B&M Hyper, Port Aventura 2012 Great rendering, but it looks more like an Intamin than B&M :lol:
