Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
I agree with that image all the way up until the last few turns, since I'm pretty sure that there will be a brake-run before the last turn around the wooden coaster, much like the way I305 is made...

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
Off topic here, but is there any coasters (aside from travelling coasters) that just slide up on into the loading station without a brake run?
Back to topic, yea...i am still not a fan of the inta-hyper that everyone seems to want, but i can see this working. Also, if this didnt have a braje run, wouldnt it be going around 55-65 mph...enough that a sudden stop would cause mass amounts of whiplash if not conjumbulated spines, ribs, mass bruising and other health issues, not to say the amount of wear and tear on the train itself. If anything, i see after the last dip n turn, a brake run to slow down enough followed a turn into a resting brake area. Possibly to run 3 trains at once if needed.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
There might be some that dont have clamp breaks and only use friction wheels to bring a train to a stop, but if a coaster has more than 1 train it must have some form of safty break before the station, just incase of slow loading or anything going wrong in the station.
Otherwise the train would just roll in and collide.
With a coaster with this height/speed (from what the plans appear to show) it's likely it'll need slowing down before it reaches the holding brake and going from what I305 and all recent Intamins have, I'm guessing it'll be a segment of eddy current brakes, followed by a tire driven holding brake.
If you actually look at the plans, try and focus on the scale of the thing. Firstly look at the station in comparison with the rest of the layout. You should notice that the straight piece of track before it is actually pretty long, atleast double the station, that's sufficient space to put a brake run, especially if it's sloped.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
Ok so it was a pretty poorly-worded post, but it's fairly obvious that D1993 was talking about an MCBR, folks. Of course this ride's going to have a final brake run. I agree with loefet that there could be eddy brakes before the final curve, which won't have the hills shown in the illustration and will be immediately followed by the holding brakes.

I don't see or think there will be any brakes before the final turn and suspect the final brake run is right before the station based on the footer lay-out. To me anyways, the footers look more like MF or any of the RoS coasters brake runs.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
ohhhhhhhhhhhh whoops.
you meant a brake run not a MCBR
haha ok i probably sounded like the biggest idiot there for a while.
yes obviously it needs a break run, otherwise that would make for a very ..... um. lets say interesting ride.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
Theyve released a more up to date version of the coaster as a watermark on some documents left behind. It doesnt have the i305 drop followed by the turn, but an EGF twisting drop followed by a hill half of its height. It bottoms out pretty much at the creek, not with the airtime hill happening over the creek. From the bew layout, it has one basic low to the ground over bank, a possible inverted tophat or extreme over ank (ala MF) and a theorized Zero-g roll. The hot spots are whether this will be a wing rider using a stationary and all frontward facing zac spin style seating or a traditional car, as well as whether it is a cable lift or a launch lift (ala Maverick) because of the housing unit for whatever.
Edit: Forgot to add this in, but they have also been hinting towards a possible tower ride as well to be either installed or convert the kisses tower. The name Skyrush has been trademarked by Hershey and the name doesnt seem to fit what they've given so far of the coaster clues. Someone brought up the fact that they have a few thungs happening in the park and instead of the entire thing being for the coaster, but to just group it all into one and call it Project 2012. Guesses have been towards a conversion to a gyro drop for the kisses tower, to an S&S launch tower, to the more recent of it being fitted into a star flyer/windseeker attraction (as it holds 40 people and a more recent picture with a hidden message states "In the end, only 4 (or 40 if you count the 4 replacing the o) wil Ride."
Also, the RIT website let people submit applications to become just one of 24 Jr. Researchers. As such, the main guess is those selected will get the 2nd train on the media day for the selected ride.
Not sure who all has been following this or just watches this thread for an update, but I decided to give what I know at this point. Announcement is tomorrow at 10:30am at Comet Hollow!

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
^ theres been so many clues and hints and riddles my mind is just way too boggled to think of what it could possibly be. and egf drop sounds pretty dam sweet to me!
and i think a drop tower of some sort would go great at hersheypark! i personally like the 2nd generation intamins the best, but thats just me.

Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012
The ride is 200 feet high and will reach speeds of up to 75mph. The ride will feature 4 across seating, with the outer seats floorless - a first for this kind of ride. With an 85 degree first drop and five airtime hills.

Wing Rider train, but with the inside seats floored... Possibly to stop Baco vibrations on the outer seats?
