RollerCoasters

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Hershey has announced they are putting new seats and restraints on SkyRush. I'm excited about the station improvements they talk about but I really don't know that the new restraints are going to make it a better experience..... SkyRush consistently scared the shit out of me and I loved it for that. I guess time will tell.

What do you think? Are you excited for more comfort or do you think the more secure feeling will take away from the ride experience?

I love the Velocicoaster restraints myself but I do feel WAY more secure riding VC than I ever did riding SR.... That sense of security kinda flies in the face of thrill in my opinion. SkyRusk is certainly going to remain an elite ride -- I just am going to miss that feeling that I'm going to die haha
