What is: Skyrush
Skyrush is a steel wing coaster, located at Hersheypark, in Pennsylvania, USA.
The ride was constructed by Intamin, and opened as the company's first roller coaster
to feature both winged and conventional seating.
The cars, which seat four riders per row,
feature two seats suspended over the sides of the track.
As a result, visitors can "Ride the edge",
which interestingly enough happens to be the tagline of the attraction.
Skyrush officially opened to the public on the 26th of May 2012,
at the cost of roughly 25 million USD.
The ride became the tallest roller coaster at Hersheypark,
as well as the third constructed by Intamin,
after the likes of Storm Runner and Fahrenheit.
Officially, the attraction was the initial prototype of the company's wing coaster.
Since 2012, only one other wing coaster has been constructed,
Flying Aces, at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.
A ride on Skyrush begins with guests leaving the station
by immediately climbing the lift hill.
Similar to other Intamin roller coasters, the ride utalises a cable lift hill,
allowing for each train to climb to its to highest point at a quicker pace.
As a result, riders of Skyrush reach the height of 62m (220ft), in under 20 seconds.
As they crest the hill, the trains disengage with the lift cable,
and guests begin to descend the first drop, at the maximum vertical angle of 85 degrees.
The train banks to the right, before undergoing a sharp turn,
and ascending the first airtime hill.
As the riders reach the bottom of the first drop, they achieve the top speed of 122kmh (76mph).
Once guests have navigated the first hill,
they complete a beyond 180 degree turn to the left,
and enter a second large airtime hill.
From this point on, highlights of the ride include a stengel dive,
an S-hill,
and a quick bunny hop.
The entire ride experience, from the first drop, to the major break run,
lasts for a total of 42 seconds.
During this time, guests navigate 1186m (3891ft) of track,
the majority of which takes place over a large lake.
The station building of the ride is located adjacent to another roller coaster at Hersheypark,
Comet, a PTC wooden coaster.
As a result, riders board and exit the trains of Skyrush from the same side within the station.
The building itself has been designed to resemble historic train stations
around the Hershey area, however, the ride as a whole features no theme.
This can clearly be seen on the trains of the coaster, which feature a generic design.
Each train is made up of 8 cars, with riders seated in single rows of 4.
As a result, each train seats up to 32 guests.
A total of two trains can navigate the circuit at any point in time,
leading to a maximum theoretical throughput of 1355 riders per hour.
Over its existence, Skyrush has become highly rated by many roller coaster enthusiasts.
Most appreciate the speed and intensity of the attraction,
as well as it's extreme ejector airtime and consistent high forces.
Unfortunately, the ride isn't perfect, as a common complaint involves the lap bar restraint.
Some state the restraint becomes excessively tight during the ride,
causing discomfort and pain to riders.
Because of this issue, the coaster has earned the nickname 'Thighcrush',
resulting in numerous visitors not enjoying their ride experience.
Does Skyrush remain a world class coaster even with its obvious flaws?
