Sky Rocket - Premier Rides LSM for Kennywood 2010

Not the most aerodynamic front right there...

Though that will most likely not have toooooo much difference to the main speed... Bloody Engineering degree making me think like that...


Oh well, looks awesome...

Wheres the rest of the train? =/

Jeez the sides look so.. unfinished..
 
These are the finished trains. They just need time to test them so this could open by at least mid-June
 
Wow, those trains look really ugly! The front just looks cheap and is way too big. The coaster itself actually looks better than I thought it would, looking forward to seeing some videos of testing.
 
I like them. I've barely paid any attention to this ride, so it's a nice surprise to see no OTSRs. :) Should provide some nice un-restricted air-time.
 
^Especially on the little bunny hills towards the end of the ride. If those are taken with speed, with the restraints, it could get some major airtime.
 
The trains are okay, I mean, they do look stripped down in that one pictures, but when they're on the track they look decent.

Excited to ride this mo'****a :p .
 
Am I the only one that was expecting more from the trains? I thought they'd be better looking that that.
 
^Agreed. I saw pics before of drawings and it didn't look too bad.. but lordy those are some ugly bastards.. lol
 
It looks too boxey, but whatever, as long as it rides well :p . We won't be paying attention to the frontal design when we're on it, haha. I want to see a video of it testing, and how fast it goes through the elements.
 
According to Screamscape, KW is aiming for a June 19th opening as crews are already going to start training around June 12th
 
Them trains are alright apart from that big flat front section. They should have put some shape to them like the MS cars.
 
Dang, it just crawls over the tophat going into the cliffhanger element. That could provide some good fun.

A second testing video at a higher speed:
