Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
The trains remind me of Diamondbacks, without as much space between them, and them the outer seats flooring removed.
Wtf are they going to call Furius Bacos trains now if these are their Wing Riders...I am so confused and actually mildly disappointed with the animation.
Switching between the hideouts'...

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
I like the look of it the layout looks really good and has a great flow to it, but I bet the floorless seats will give the better experience.
I am a bit shocked they have not got on top of the vibration problem that Baco has, Raptor for example was fine I did not notice any at all.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
I will just refer to this as second gen wing rider. The animation was done quite **** to be honest, and that kind of put me off, but still, my interest in going to Hershey is now even higher.
That is until they realize the trains won't work and just have to use standard hyper trains, as it's Intamin something significant is going to not go right.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
I'm definitely thrilled. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Intamin hasn't created an airtime machine in the ~200 ft range right? So this is new in that respect, and the trains are definitely a step in a new direction as well. It's going to be so unnatural seeing 4 across trains on an Intamin (granted furious baco exists, but that's a very unique coaster in its own right). The trains are definitely unique, and will hopefully give a comfortable and quite different ride!
I love this style coaster, and I can't wait to see it built.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
I'm very excited to see how this ride turns out visually. The NL model looks nice (and reconfirms my happiness about recently purchasing the program. Although I thought it was pretty lazy of them to not even change the color of the track (considering they were willing to say "as you speed along a bright yellow track"). Anyway, something to keep track of and I'm more concerned about the outside seats being that unique as opposed to being worried about them rattling. I guess we will see when the trains are revealed and some test runs begin.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
Looks a lot better than I imagined. Seems like they have redone some of the layout when you compare the video and the drawing with the footers, the first part is nearly identical, but the last bit is different. This have definitely gone to the top as one of the most interesting coasters for next year.
Looks like Intamin have copied the new B&M hyper trains, but without the floor on the side seats, it should give a pretty awesome ride experience...
Time to move this topic to UC section now??

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
^The swarm is in UC and I'm pretty sure both these projects have had just about the same amount of construction work done...
EDIT: If you didn't realize, there have been a few footers there for probably about a month, and a lot of supports if not all are at hershey right now.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
^^ There have been ground clearing for some time now, the first footers are a few weeks old, and there is also support on site, where as Swarm is just dirt?? Also the Port Aventura one is also just dirt but is in the news section..
It should have been moved some time ago. Maybe the mods should make a template on what is required for a topic to be classified as news vs. under construction, so that it would be easier to know where a topic should be...

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
Superman Ride of Steel at SF America
Ride of Steel at Darien Lake
(they are all hyper coasters, above 200 ft)
Hydraulic launched accelerator:
Storm Runner at Hershey
XCelerator at KBF
However, these are all traditional 2-across seating, the new seating sounds awesome.
However, we have to remember that Intamin is known for pushing the boundaries of roller coaster technology and has paid the price for some miscalculations, such as I305.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
^^ I agree, the name doesn't seem very well thought out...I mean, it makes sense, but maybe too much sense. It's not just asking/daring me to ride it, ya know?
