Theme Park Discussion / Skyrush Review

Okay so I went to Hershey today and it was amazing. I literally had to wait only 10 minutes for Skyrush. After about the 3rd little hill I found out why. The G-Force is so strong that from the air time you get, your restraints lock harder into your legs. So when you go on each little air time hill it hurts your thighs more and more. Worse than that at the end when you're waiting for the next train to leave the station you are stuck with a restraint sucked into your legs. People if you intend to ride Skyrush prepare to damage your thighs. Other than that it's an awesome ride. The lift is very powerful. Being steep and zooming you up 200 feet with a cable lift, it basically builds the suspense for the big drop. Despite the hurting of your legs, the airtime is amazing. You can easily throw your hands in the air and go crazy. I recommend leaning a bit forward for each air time hill. Also the turns are pretty sharp so the restraints suck the life out of you there. In line for the Comet I stood there watching people gripping there legs and I could hear them talking about how it hurt there thighs so much that they weren't going to ride it anymore. Once the lap bar is released in the station it is a big relief. I still recommend the ride. It may be short, but those winged seats are quite something.

Note to self: Bring full set of armor to ride Skyrush.

Seems Fun. may go to Ohio/Pennsylvania and go to all the theme parks. That would be a shitload of fun.

I have a similar problem with Intamin's like Maverick. I just leave a wee bit of space between my thighs and the bar, as there is a vinyl seat belt securing you in. Unless the Op's are going around pushing the restraints down, I would suggest this. A definite must-ride next time I'm in the area.

^That sounds a lot like Maverick, my last few rides on it have been very much like that.
