Anyway, a bit of old news now, but just want to say I've been on Skyrush and you guys are all right, the airtime is EXTREME.

-2G according to Wiki and I've felt nothing like it.

People take it lightly because it doesn't do much and isnt so big, but then they realize what it feels like to ride a small coaster at 75mph!

The airtime feels like you WILL fly out and the quick flicks fling you out of the car. Intense

I'll have a post up about it soon. Manta at SeaWorld San Diego opened this weekend too.

Keep in mind, these are journalists, not enthusiasts, and it seems like the guy from Lancaster has never ridden a coaster before, let alone any of the ones in Hersheypark.

Human beings have ridden it! And didn't die!

The reports of -2g on the airtime hills actually had me a little worried; if it were more than instantaneous, that would cause redout. But it sounds like people just complain that the restraints are a little rough on their thighs.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to ride both next month. As far as Enthusiasts go I think Skyrush and Leviathon seem to be more intense experiences with probably more airtime and extreme g forces whereas it seems Verbolten is being considered a family coaster. Of course that isn't a bad thing. In fact I heard a lot of disappointment about Cheetah Hunt and I loved it. Personally as long as the ride is not rough and has some kind of enjoyable experience (i.e. speed, height, negative g's, themeing) I'm a pretty happy camper. In fact with most modern coasters (Intamin and B&M's) I am hardly ever disappointed.

That or Leviathon I guess ;)

And youre right- that hill must produce serious airtime.
