Hersheypark |"Skyrush"| Intamin Mega

Full of want from me. This thing looks graceful and everything an Intamin can and should be. Just hope that it has no problems like I-305

^^ The wheels should takr care of that. It loses about half of its speed during the stengal, but still goes around quickly.

Also, no flat turns taken at high speeds.

^^ I was thinking the same thing. It's probably just because we've never really seen anything like it before. I don't believe anything that hangs over the edge has ever been put on this type of track.
 
Re: Hersheypark |"Skyrush"| Intamin Mega

Who wants some wonderful and delicious stats?

Max speed is 76.3 at the bottom of the first drop.
Max Positive Gs is just shy of 5 at the bottom of the first drop.
Max NEGATIVE is -2.0 during those airtime hills :drool:
Next fact is a wee bit unsettling for the tall folk going onto the live: Height LIMIT is 6'5".

^^If you mean this track type specifically (the double spine type), not much at all has been put on it, but if you mean an Intamin triangular track, um, Furius Baco hangs over the edge a bit :p and yes I realize they are not very similar track styles but they are both Intamin "winged" coasters.

Hasn't this got lap bars? If so, why is there a height limit?

It will be because it's a floorless... I mean, wing malarky whatever Intamin are calling it.

So there's a risk long legs may enter the safety envelope between track and legs.
 
Wow -2?!

That's fantastic, I really want to ride this, it's one of the better additions this year!

^^^ What furie said and the fact that the winged seats are lower.

Hm, -2Gs. I wouldn't be surprised if alot of peoples belongings would fly out of their pockets on those hills, especially the first one.
 
^ That happens a lot on Coasters with a lot of Airtime anyway, it's got nothing really to do with the -2. I know it's happened a LOT on Goliath in Walibi too and I don't think that's -2? (has anyone got the stats on that?).
