One thing that strikes me as fairly odd about this coaster, and I've taken fairly long to notice it: As far as I know, Candymonium makes Hersheypark the first park with two conventional Hypers, but I thought it was warranted because of the size difference between it and Skyrush. I mean, several parks have a Hyper and a Giga already, and in this case one might not be a Giga but a little bit smaller, enough to justify having two-
... wait a second, Candymonium is only three meters taller than Skyrush? And goes 2.5 kph faster? Granted, it is 300 m longer too, but it still feels pretty identical in size and scope to Skyrush. Sure, the ride experience probably differs quite a bit, but still ... it's as if two different manufacturers were contracted to design the coaster using the same specs.
Hmm, come to think of it, that could have been a neat origin story for Candymonium:
Herhseypark Boss: "So, have you sent out the design tender for our new coaster?"
Intern: "Yes, sir! I found the file on the shelf on the left, made copies, and sent it to all the usual manufacturers. I think you had got the date wrong, however. It said "project 2012" on it.
Boss: "You dolt! It was supposed to be the shelf on the right! The left shelf is our archive! You've mailed out the old design tender documents for Skyrush! And there's no time to make a correction either. Oh well, we'll have to shelf the multi-launch looper project for 2020. It'll be nice to have a spare Skyrush in case the first one breaks down, I suppose."
