Hersheypark announced its plans for 2008 today at noon (the hottest part of the day of course!) and it's gonna be hot!

Looks like fun. Though it seems sort of unimaginative and sort of just jumbled together.

Looks like powerful inversions and great airtime. I can't wait.

Looks to be of the similar idea of Maverick. I think they could have put in at least a few extra minutes in it and change the skin texture from the default.

I don't think that it's gonna beat Maverick...

I'm kinda disappointed by the ride, I though that it would more like maverick, and by that I mean quick transitions and a really original layout. Why a cobra roll and two Corkscrews?? this sucks...

Hurray for Maverick!! [:D]

Yeah it'll be a very solid ride but nothing too too special. Definately not that much like Maverick except for the drop and maybe ending...the rest is almost exactly like Speed Monster and the 8/10 loopers combined, as I'm sure you all can see.

ouch, The capacity looks pretty low. only 850 per hour. i don't know how the capacity in the rest of hershey park is, but 3 trains with only 3 cars? That's going to deliver huge queuelines...

the cars go up in the back of the car... first row is lower than the second... better views from each seat...

Stadium seating is when in the front of the tain the seats are close togeather and lowered where as in the back there spread out and raised.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

there isn't much land where this ride is going, they really did pack in as much as they could i think.

Not to me, seems like it's around 30 feet taller than the average woodie, with about the same amount of track. That extra height (and possible initial speed from the lift) should account for the extra loss of speed from what I understand would be increased friction and decreased mass, and let the ride keep speeding until the end. Seemed to work ok and pace realistically in the NL ride.

They should really consider using a different roller coaster sim. Oh and I just noticed that Dorney Park is getting a new roller coaster too. Wow, it must be roller coaster fever month.
