Searching, finding, reading, knowing.

It'll be the third hydraulic launch coaster in the world.
The first with an inversion.

S

Yes, aparently Amusement Business reported early it would have a 45 metre high rise into the "top hat", 55 m drop down the other side, climbing up into an inversion that rolls out into 2.5 (?!) heartline rolls.

It sounds quite nice. Hersheypark is a great park but I haven't been there since 1999. I have a great reason to go back now!

But today at 12h we get the details. I guess 16h for you guys over seas. S

Here you go:

hersheypa.com movie.mov - Movie

hersheypa.com index.html - For voting for a name. If you don't know a USA zip code (I didn't) you can put in: 11788 (found it on the back of my Canadian FESTO catalogue S )

hersheypa.com fact_sheet.html - Data sheet

The animation (first link) makes it look fantastic. Wow! This is the kind of thing I wish Canada's Wonderland could get.

Hi, Iain,

thanks for the update information, I just voted Steel Stampede. I would have preferred Storm Rider as a name, but Runner, no not my taste.

Wait and see untill August 19.

Here you can find a graphic of the new coaster:

On this site you also can find two graphics with the track layout. One is a satellite photo; so you can see where the new coaster is located in the park...
