  • On July 1st, I got out to Hersheypark to ride Wildcat's Revenge. It didn't quite go as planned. I blame Skyrush.

    I think that Lightning Racer needs to get more love. I rode it for the first time in years yesterday. Rode in the back seat of the red train. It was hauling and is still pretty smooth. It really surprised me. What a great racing dueling woodie. Hershey Park. Coaster nirvana. Great video! Keep up the good work! My love for coasters began in the summer of 1977 when I got on the Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion. I will never forget the terror of going up that lift hill and looking over to the older guy next to me who said " your gonna love this". I actually thought that I was going to die throughout the ride but I loved it. I have been close to dying ever since that day every summer. I am older now and approaching retirement and had not ridden coasters for a number of years before I decided to get in the car and go to Hershey Park yesterday. It was a beautiful day. I was reminded of the magic that coasters provide. Thanks for giving some love to my response. I look forward to seeing more great videos.

    I was at Hershey literally the day before you, unlucky on timing! I did get lucky with Wildcat though, as we were told it wouldn't open for the entire day (after being closed all of the previous 2), but come late afternoon, we saw it running and managed to score the ride. Really enjoyed it, and also loved Candy, Storm Runner, and yes - even ThighCrush

    Keep taunting Skyrush Chris ... When you go this year to experience it with the new lap bars it'll probably be down for the day just because of all the times you've ridiculed it 😂😂
    Also, Thunder always wins from my experience 😂

      I love the new skyrush lapbars and I got a ride on lightning where it won. It was really close.
