Skyrush - The 12th Coaster At Hersheypark!

Intamin wingrider/hypercoaster hybrid in Comet Hollow. Looks like a great ride.

For some reason I'm just not all that excited by this announcement. Idk why, but wingriders just don't look very interesting to me. I'm sure that will change the second I ride one. This will probably be a fantastic ride, maybe the best at Hersheypark.

I like the idea of wing-riders/walkers but only if they have inversions.  A hyper with OTSR's isn't something that gets me very excited.

I'm sure it'll be a fine ride either way.

I think this isn't a good use of a wingrider type ride a regular hypercoaster train would have been a better choice

It looks like it might not be full OTSR's.  It might just be the OTS lap bar, similar to the system on Pilgrims Plunge.

Looks fun, but also very short. Should have a decent PPH, but I doubt it will win any awards.

Not something that I'd make a special trip for, but would ride it if I was in the area.

The video sure doesn't do it any justice.

Agreed.  That's about as crappy as a promo vid can get.

With as much time and effort that they put into their campaigns I'm surprised that they don't put a little more towards the ride vids.

The lift hill is going to feature the minimalistic approach like I-305, is what I have heard

Or their renderings. I want more than a blueprint, I want to see exactly how it's going to be "interactive with the Looper, Great Bear, and Comet." I'm pretty intrigued by this coaster's location.
