Skyrush

Skyrush is an Intamin hyper roller coaster with winged seating at Hersheypark in Hershey Pennsylvania. It opened to the general public on May 26th, 2012.

Skyrush is Hersheypark's 12th roller coaster, and its third coaster made by Intamin. Skyrush features a 212-foot (65 m) lift (measured to the creek floor), with a cable lift that brings the train up at 17-mile-per-hour (27 km/h). Skyrush has yellow track and light blue support columns. Skyrush's trains are the first of their type in the world. Each train weighs 13 tons. Two seats are regular, over-the-track seats, and two seats are hanging to the sides of the track, which is why Skyrush's motto is "Ride the Edge". Skyrush's top speed is 76-mile-per-hour (122 km/h). The ride's top g-force is 5 g's just at the bottom of the first drop. The ride's highest negative g-force is -2 g's which occurs on the second airtime hill.
