mmcirvinNow that they've got the lift hill completely done, they've moved the big crane away from it, and they can put in the track that previously would have blocked it from being removed:

There's going to be a great headchopper on that second airtime hill that crosses under the first one.
That first photo shows the vertical lift hill of Fahrenheit, Hersheypark's very twisty coaster from 2008 that I rode last summer. I liked it a lot, but the coaster fans seem to regard it as inferior to Storm Runner, the launched coaster, which I didn't get around to riding.
The other coaster-related Hersheypark development for 2012 is that the old sooperdooperLooper, which I did ride and considered my personal favorite, is getting an overhaul with brand-new trains from Gerstlauer (makers of Canobie's Untamed). Word is that these trains will stick with lapbar-only restraints, which is a very good thing to hear. I don't know if we're actually going to get back there this year, but I'm sure we will someday, since Hershey is conveniently located along our route for extended-family-visiting road trips (as are Lake Compounce, Quassy, and arguably Kings Dominion and Six Flags America).
