The first set of brakes before the dip acts as a block so that they can run three trains. Its basically a mid course brake run but at the end of the ride.
@@Robchacha there could be a possibility that it could run 4 trains. Because the Actual final break run going into the station building looks like it could stack 2 trains. Then you have that fake "midcourse break run" part, and you can have one circuiting the track.
Once again: B&M played it very safe. The ride looks good without any doubt - but - just missing some new and fresh ideas ... But still: state of the art hyper.
Are you kidding? The banked airtime hill is something even Intamin has only just recently started in their designs (i.e. the coaster being built in the Jurassic Park section of Universal's Islands of Adventure).
Brandon What other manufacturers are you referring to? Banked airtime hills are rarely seen on any coaster beside RMC (or very recent Vekoma and Intamin).
It’s meant to make the ride feel longer if there is no train in the station, as the train will simply go through the final turn without stopping before it.
There are (2) Locations where the track seems like 10-12 feet above you-the near turn at the Kiss fountain and after the brake run (Right hand curve into the station) Those are good picture locations. For those of who who visited and don't like the long uphill climb from the old entrance gates to the Carousel-it's gone and leveled out. And the structure that held the carousel remains and how has tables and chairs for a shaded area. I am glad they left it like that.
Having ridden both, I thought this was worse. Maybe I had a good day but Intimidators I didnt notice/hurt the ride that badly. Both these I deff noticed, and the 1st isnt too bad but the 2nd really kills it. I like Intimidator more personally.
I've been on this 4 times now. Each time I sat in a different seat. This looks very ehhh on you tube. I was not expecting it to be what it was. I was surprised...in a good way! These videos do not do it justice! Insane airtime for most of the ride. The seats and restraints are very comfortable, by far the best I've seen/rode in. Sky rush is god awful, in comparison, these are nothing like sky rush. The last time I on rode on Candymonium yesterday, I noticed we were going faster, and the trim breaks kicked in, halfway through that ride...bummer!
Ride this before judging. I thought it would be an average b&m hypercoaster but it actually ties for my favorite b&m after riding it today. The airtime on the first drop is top notch and the ride has good pacing and airtime throughout. Solid ride for sure.
@@jeroenvangoch8886 it might have to do with the trims on this being magnetic instead of just regular friction breaks. i think mako does it like that too
That'll be the wires for the power and control of the trim, and the proximity switches. Not sure why it's routed on top of the track but I imagine it makes the maintenance a damn bit easier for the techs
The drop at 1:07 is my favorite part of the ride, right before the drop down around the (Still to be completed) Kiss Fountain. We will be back on Friday to ride again...
My 15yr old son and i Went to HP today. Rode this three times and could have almost walked on it all day long if we wanted. A really really good ride. Felt like half the ride i was out of my seat. Ultra smooth, and very well engineered. Skyrush and stormrunner are my faves at HP, but this is a great coaster as well.
It seems pretty fun and butter smooth. The new area looks very fresh too. The ride seems a bit tame especially with the trims though. The layout isnt as good as Goliath at SFOG or even Mako in my opinion but B&M hypers are veeery popular by GP in parks so good addition.
Pretty unique layout for a b&m hyper. Pacing does look a bit off though, but I suppose the video might be deceiving. That being said, Hershey sure has a sick lineup of coasters.
I didn't feel any pacing issues while riding. There is some set up time for the airtime hills, but they are smooth. You could do without a trim brake on the 2nd half of the ride (Before the upward helix), but it was moving well and enjoyable. Oh, and smile as you go up the hammerhead turn-that's where the camera is. I hope you get there and can ride it this summer.
You would think that with a name like "Candymonium" , the ride would be a little bit more thrilling with inversions like the Smiler in Alton Towers or Lost Gravity in Walibi Holland. This just reminds me of a smaller version of Mako in Sea World Orlando. Still nice enough to ride but just doesn't seem to fit the name.
Amusement part always gives me this giddy feeling and has for years. I feel like a little kid again. The only other thing that can do this for me is music. You know bands like Delta Parole, that music takes me back the most.
best coaster in the park. rode 4 times off of sheer luck. front once, middle once, back twice. without a doubt, the back row is the BEST way to ride this. you are yanked on every bunny hill, and that first drop is fucking bananas, and the airtime is borderline illegal. go add this to your credits immediately.
It is a nice coaster. Best time to ride it is at the end of the day. To kick your adrenaline one last time but also to sort of calm yourself down. Contradictory but that’s how it feels. Not as rough as Thighcrush (aka Skyrush) but still thrilling enough. And smooth af.
Just got to ride this for the first time yesterday, really fun but super short as you can tell. I wish they would've had another hill or something before the track turns around heading back to the station
Looks like a decent coaster. Weird little finish though. Not a fan of brown coasters, but I understand why the color makes sense at that particular park.
I think they were running the trim breaks to much, it really slowed the whole thing down quite a bit, rode it for the first time today and loved except for the trim breaks, it seamed a little bit like a small version of millennium force, I know they have different manufacturers they are both pretty lengthy and smooth coaster with decent drops
The closest you can get to a family style hyper coaster. It looks like a good time. I cant help but wonder why the bottom of the hills are so high off the ground!?🤔
When I was there the line was crazy. I feel like it was under whelming, it’s a great ride don’t get me wrong but compared to Skyrush (the park’s former tallest ride) it’s horrible. It’s 2 feet taller and 1 mph faster than skyrush. So skyrush is still my favorite
It's NITRO with a few turns instead of the helix and much less airtime. It looks like a good coaster. Nitro is my FAVORITE so it's not quite a criticism. But a different shaped Nitro.
The first half was really similar to *Silver Star* from Europa-Park : - The first turn (After the 2nd drop) like the turn after the 3rd drop on Silver Star - The 270° turn up in the middle, like the Silver Star - The rail design (But not the color)
Because both this coaster and Silver Star are a kind of roller coaster called the hyper coaster, made by a company called Boliger and Milbilard (B&M). There are about 20 of these B&M Hyper Coasters around the world and almost all of them are similar, some with slightly different heights and speeds.
Just got off of this, absolute best ride I’ve been on, I don’t do well with inversions so I was happy that I could actually enjoy a hyper coaster! It’s buttery smooth (as B&M are masters at this) a perfect way for people who are easily nauseated by inversions as well as people who want a good intro to more sizable rides.
I went on this yesterday and loved it! It feels so good in the front row, and it's so smooth I found myself going, "weeeeee!" Overall my 2nd favorite coaster I've ridden so far (El Toro is my #1).
Funny i saw this. We rode el toro a few weeks ago and candymonium today. My 15yr old said he like candymonium better that el toro. I think they are both great
Like Great Bear, Hershey have gone for the family market. This will appeal to the majority of guests without appearing too intimidating. But for the enthusiasts, it looks a little pedestrian. But that could just be the video.
Are those brakes at the bottom of some of the hills? I've never seen B&M put brakes that start at the bottom and go almost all the way up a hill. And they don't look like typical trim brakes
I love this ride, but I don't get why they added another hyper since they already have Skyrush. Or why they haven't gotten rid of **thighcrush** now that they have a good hyper.

Nice air time, smooth, simple and sweet layout. Great addition to the park. Can’t go wrong with a new B&M hyper.

Yeah but 4 kids would die along with some missing parents
The final brake is like Tatsu's - it brakes then does one last little dip for some reason
Hades 360 does it two.
Skyrush does it too
The first set of brakes before the dip acts as a block so that they can run three trains. Its basically a mid course brake run but at the end of the ride.
@@Robchacha - you are correct.
@@Robchacha there could be a possibility that it could run 4 trains.

But there is two twisted ejectors, which are nothing special, but I have never seen them on a B&M yet
Are you kidding? The banked airtime hill is something even Intamin has only just recently started in their designs (i.e. the coaster being built in the Jurassic Park section of Universal's Islands of Adventure).
Yeppp it's missing another hill and some banked turn like on mako. It's just average compared to other manufactures tbh
The first half reminds me a bit of Apollo's Chariot and the last half like Mako
Brandon What other manufacturers are you referring to? Banked airtime hills are rarely seen on any coaster beside RMC (or very recent Vekoma and Intamin).

i can assure you in real life going through it you are still zooming

Damn thing may have more trims than Intriminator at Carowinds
The trims after the turn around is the worst you lunge forward how hard they were, the second trim didn’t even engage on most the rides I had
Wtf is a trim-
@@Naiobia Trim brakes. They're placed on certain areas of the layout where the trains put a lot of strain on the track and supports.
Candystack?

Looks like an airtime machine, those hills look pretty steep on this POV
Yes, tons of airtime! I went on it three times back to back yesterday and I was out of my seat for most of the ride.
Its underwelming and a little dissapointing
Zion this POV is probably slow for a lack of people on the train and it being early morning (at least that is what I think it looks like)

ur killin me smalls. You stole that joke from that one movie didnt you

In my opinion, that roller coaster, although it was very short, that was incredibly, impressive and fast. They are the best and I love their videos.

Jack Walsh yea I work here and I avoid that ride lol
skyrush was built by intamin
Chip Skylark you’re saying?
@@chipskylark8475 that's why it's overrated, breaks down too much, and very uncomfortable coaster.
Hope I can get to Hershey this year🙏
What's up with those long trim sections before two of the airtime hills? I don't think we've seen anything like them on a B&M hyper before.
I think those are just the cables running up to the trim brake. But I have no idea why they decided to put them on top of the track like that.
@@jeroenvangoch8886 it might have to do with the trims on this being magnetic instead of just regular friction breaks. i think mako does it like that too
@@jeroenvangoch8886 Maybe just easier maintenance on them having them on top?
I was wondering that too.. it looks like a long section of lsm
That'll be the wires for the power and control of the trim, and the proximity switches. Not sure why it's routed on top of the track but I imagine it makes the maintenance a damn bit easier for the techs
Rode it yesterday July 3rd. Smooth as silk. Great drops, great airtime. The overbanked turn is perfect.
I rode it yesterday that first drop is a crazy rush close but not as intense as the 305
This coaster is the reason i got over my fear of big rides today, thank you candymonium.
This is what I am hoping for
Candymonium and Orion both opening the same week!! What a win for B&M
1:21:
Skyrush: Im I a Joke to you
Skyrush's lift hill is something else

😍that air time though, I need to go there, its like my favorite part of roller coasters over and over again!
I can just feel the airtime on this, PHEW... 😅😩
Tons of airtime!
I rode this on Saturday and let me tell you, my butt didn't touch the seat for about half of the ride. So much airtime on those 7 hills, its insane!
I was actually looking up this ride and when I was done, this is what I saw, great video
Unbelievable! A coster made from chocolate 🍫!? How exciting to even imagine 😍
At least the public will eat this coaster up.
*pun intended 🤔🤔🤔 lol
This looks a solid addition for Hersheypark. Have only done my home park Oakwood so far but in the future I will get out there and ride that
doesn't look that impressive honestly, however its good Hershey has a B&M Hyper now
I agree and to add, it looks very boring and bland
@@illusionzauto I promise, it's much better in person! I thought it looked blah on here too.

Chocolate coaster. Jesus I need to get my ass back to Hershey. 😂. I be there hopefully 2021 when shit settles down

Really? I personally liked it more than skyrush- maybe it’s because the restraints are so much better on candymonium. Skyrush hurts my thighs.

Oh I love Europa park!! I went last year it was amazing
It looks very similar in concept and layout to Mako at Seaworld. I can bet there’s lots of fun airtime on this one.
Looks like one of the best B&M hypers out there

Still like it every time :)

Better than Orion. Whoops did I say that out loud?
I’d take Orion’s first drop alone over this entire ride
@@JJJJ-he8bz yep not even close
I've never been on Candymonium before but this ride is 10 ft higher, 1mph faster and 1,036 ft longer than Skyrush.
I went on this ride about a month ago as well. It wasn't really as good as Skyrush. Definitely go on Skyrush if you want an epic experience there.
I went on this yesterday and loved it! It feels so good in the front row, and it's so smooth I found myself going, "weeeeee!"
Overall my 2nd favorite coaster I've ridden so far (El Toro is my #1).
Make sure you go weee before you get on the rollercoaster next time.
Btw. El Toro is number 1!!!
Funny i saw this. We rode el toro a few weeks ago and candymonium today. My 15yr old said he like candymonium better that el toro. I think they are both great
But when it's 40 degrees, will the whole attraction melt?
damn robb is the camera angled high enough up for you?
Like Great Bear, Hershey have gone for the family market. This will appeal to the majority of guests without appearing too intimidating. But for the enthusiasts, it looks a little pedestrian. But that could just be the video.
I went on this today and it’s the best... definitely recommend this
Mako is my number one coaster so this ride looks like everything I want!
Yur Boi this thing looks even better than Mako tbh
Are those brakes at the bottom of some of the hills? I've never seen B&M put brakes that start at the bottom and go almost all the way up a hill. And they don't look like typical trim brakes
Not in a million years that I am going on that roller coaster
Planning to go in October if this pandemic calms down by then!
I’m hoping to get to Hershey next month for my birthday. I want to ride the train and the monorail. Haven’t been to Hershey in years.
Glad it’s finally open.
Looks awesome!
IMO (as a person in between a GP and enthusiast). I think this has more intrigue and memorable moments than Orion.
An enthusiast is just a GP without a real job!
that first airtime hill after the turnaround...i could feel bodies lifting from their seats lol
This is pretty much my home park since I go every year, and ngl this looks even slower and less intense then I thought
Idk. I thought it was a really good ride
YES! IT’S FINALLY HERE!
I loved!! This ride when I went on it
This looks rideable for me. No inversions, smooth and not super fast.
Love this ride !!
I love this ride, but I don't get why they added another hyper since they already have Skyrush. Or why they haven't gotten rid of **thighcrush** now that they have a good hyper.
Nice! Looks like a great coaster!
