My 8 year old son and husband went on yesterday and LOVED it! I was scared just watching the test dummys go round all day friday.

I cannot wait for this ride! It looks awesome! I like the environment it is in and it will be the first ever intamin winged coaster and first ever winged hyper coaster! At first I thought the layout wasn't that impressive due to the lack of big hills, but I recently realized with the speed it has those smaller hills could get some awesome airtime. And some of those curving maneuvers look good too.

Yeah–I went in the middle of the week, but it was in August, and Fahrenheit was still a good hour's wait. In hindsight, it was probably not the best choice, since it has an unusually low capacity for such a high-profile ride. (And my coastering time was limited by the need to look after my five-year-old, though we did ride the Trailblazer together.)

My sister had taken her family on a weekday in June and said all the coasters were walk-ons or nearly so. I guess it's a matter of timing it right.

The lines can get pretty brutal at Hersheypark. Usually the park isn't as crowded early in the summer (June), but after July 4 into August, it gets pretty crazy. I won't go anywhere near the park on the weekend.

Skyrush, simply because I personally have a much greater chance of visiting Hersheypark than Canada's Wonderland.

Everything is better with a tunnel!

I suppose this couldn't really be a roller coaster showdown, but I suppose I'll ask anyway. Gearhart here mentioned that he couldn't decide which looked cooler, Skyrush or Leviathan. Personally, I'm more hyped up about Leviathan, but what about everyone else? Which one are you more excited about?

I agree that it will be great for a showdown. Judging by how it looks so far, it can definently go up against any hypercoaster out there. Hopefully those outer seats will provide some near misses with the ground and trees. It really looks good, and lets hope the park won't get more crowded then it already is.

It's been a while since Intamin has built a 4-abreast coaster, and with the outer seats hanging over the edge, I want one. I agree with you CC, it could use a tunnel. I wonder if an Intamin coaster upgrade in the future will exchange the trains for this style?
