My favorite things about this coaster: 1. Fast cable lift hill 2. First drop and ejector airtime 3. second ejector hill 4. third ejector hill, and a bonus, a head chopper effect 5. Various twists and turns 6. Tiny ejector hill near the end. 7. Banked turn after the final brake run.

Genuinely have a fear of heights and I just don't love the new fast lift hills, unless it's an insane variation like Top Thrill. Kinda kills the anticipation and fear level for me. It may be part of the reason Maverick has never clicked with me and why I still put Magnum higher on my list than basically everyone else in the world. That clanky horribly slow lift hill where you seem to be swallowed by Lake Erie manages to freak me out every time.

I couldn’t disagree more. Skyrush has the strongest ejector airtime I’ve gotten on a coaster, and I have no problems with the lap bars.

The first drop and 2 camel backs give the best airtime I've experienced and the last hill gave amazing air despite me being stapled. I completely disagree with you that the middle section was boring. The 2nd Camelback gave just as good airtime as the first hill, and the stangle dive gave great laterals. That little turn before the cutback gave some of the best laterals I've experienced. On all of my 8 rides I couldn't stop my body from getting thrown to the side. That moment is criminally underratedI do agree that the cutback was really good.

Loved your theme park media part at the end! I think you seem like one of the nicest bigger KZread enthusiasts out there and it’s amazing what all you do for smaller channels!

Skyrush is a coaster at my home park that I’ve literally ridden more than any other on the planet (hundreds of times). It’s true that’s it’s developed a rattle over the years, particularly in the first banked turn after the first ejector hill. The rattle is more pronounced in a wing seat, for sure. Anymore I always try to ride it in a track seat. I like to ride with my hands up (the whole way) and it’s much less painful in a track seat. Wing seats wreck my back when riding with arms in the air. That being said, they key to not getting stapled is to put your foot on the tunnel and under the restraint when the ride op comes through. Yes, the restraints will inevitably come down on your legs through the course of the ride, but not being stapled going over the hill in the last row is insane. And yes, the last row is where it’s at! People always want to wait for the front row, but the best ride experience is in the back. And by all means, make sure you hook your legs under the seat when taking on those airtime moments. It’ll save your thighs! Out of 350(ish), it’s a top 25 coaster for me. Not be cause it’s perfect. Not because it’s restraints are painful at times. But because of what it does in an incredibly small footprint. When it’s warm and running well, the ejector airtime is second-to-none. Skyrush is a coaster that you’ll likely get off for the first time not terribly impressed. But as you ride it more and understand its nuances, will begin to appreciate just how insane it is.

This is in my top 10. Definitely a world of difference between the morning and later in the day (it speeds up a lot). The overall insanity level of the ride really adds to the experience, and I get some amazing laterals through those turns.

These restraints suck. Superman’s restraints may also be bad, but they at least have a reason behind their implementation, and the ride in itself still remains one of my favorites. Skyrush’s restraints have no reason for being as bad as they are. They staple right to your thighs.

Hey, in Paper Mario: The Origami King, you fight a giant stapler before you fight the final boss. I think the “don’t staple me” quote fits perfectly with this boss.

Those "Office" parodies with the Skyrush restraints had me ROLLING!! 🤣🤣 The lines of the clips chosen were so fitting, based on how you feel!

I clicked on this video fast! This is what I have been waiting for since I knew you went back to Hersheypark! This is about of as good of an apology as I could expect from you when it comes to SkyRush and I'll take it!! 😂 I can now respect your view on it! I personally love SkyRush but Hersheypark is my home park and I'm a season pass holder since before it opened so I can't tell you how many hundreds of times I've probably ridder it! Lol. I find I can get past my discomfort by the restraint and really enjoy it! I also feel like I definitely get some airtime on those airtime hills even with my thigh slightly stapled. All in all I'm happy to hear that you at least had a better experience and I'm glad it moved into your top 100!

I love Skyrush! That drop is insane! You’re standing on your head at the bottom. It helped that my nephew kept yelling “THIS IS HOW WE DIE!”. 😂 That head chopper is unreal! But, I totally see what you’re saying. I got the thigh crush on my last ride and I was like “yeah, I get it now”. It also could be longer. But I still love it. It’s so polar opposite to Candymonium so it’s a good fit at Hershey, I think.

I will never hold my restraint up. I've never got stapled except for Winja's Fear and the best thing is to hold your hands in the air while riding a roller coaster.

I'm glad you had a better time! But I've gotta say in 3 of my 4 rides on this, the lapbar literally was not touching my legs or lap on the brake run. It is far from inevitable to be stapled on this, I wish you even better rides next time!

The B&M roar is coaster enthusiast asmr honestly

Well, I'm just glad that you got some non-painful rides, and acknowledge that Skyrush has its moments! I'm surprised you didn't find the last two airtime hills strong, but either way, I think you have a point in that the layout is by no means top 10 worthy.

So I really love this coaster, yeah it does give some serious pain when you are sitting on the brake run, but I found a way to kind of not really be stapled by the restraint. When you get on the coaster in the station, pull the lap bar down a bit but not all the way and move up in your seat so the bar comes down more towards your waist rather than your legs. I am a skinny boi so I cant speak for everyone. I found that to be less painful, and I think it would help your opinion of this ride. But for me I could care less because this is my favorite coaster.

OMG CHRIS FINALLY!!!! I joked about how you'll get a good ride on SkyRush and change your opinion and that Cocoa Cruiser will now be your new SkyRush and it seems as if one happened 😂😂 My number one coaster!!!! (Be that I've only ridden coasters in PA as of now)

Ah man, back left is the magic seat! To each his own, though! Skyrush is my undisputed number one, even above other fan favorites like Steel Vengeance, Lightning Rod, X2, Fury, and The Voyage. I remember being bummed out when I saw the (horribly) animated layout in 2011, but for me, every part of the ride delivers... especially the "dead zone," which I find to be the most hilariously aggressive part of any US coaster. Interestingly enough, the ride I would most compare to Skyrush is Outlaw Run. Both have life-changing first drops, are unimaginably aggressive, and tend to staple you pretty bad. And I know you've shared on this channel that you're not a big Outlaw Run fan, either. Anyway, great video. I look forward to 2022 when it makes your top 10!

i honestly don't mind the restraints and I think it has a great layout in my opinion! airtime is also wild! i can 100% respect your opinion tho. great video as always!

I love the Stengel dive that follows the turn after the second airtime hill. In the back (and, I guess, when it's running fast) you get some amazing whip going out of it.

I rode skyrush for the first time in August. Those restraints are honestly pretty good considering what it does on its stronger days. I rode it in the morning and thought it was fine, but my afternoon/evening rides were bonkers, q front row right wing seat ride was absolutely bonkers, i felt the airtime so strongly even with the lapbar pushed down pretty hard, it felt like my torso was going to be ripped from my hips and above and it was awesome. Those banking elements also felt much better with the major feeling of elevation change from side to side. Its in my top 10, but overall I'd probably give it a 9.5/10. Its a powerhouse when its hot and warmed up, but its pretty tough to marathon

The great thing about you is the fact you are consistent! 🤣You're consistently overthinking it and making it way more technical than it is. it's a roller-coaster man, get on, have fun, and then go wait in line to ride another one. Granted everybody's favorites are going to vary, and some people are going to like some rides more than others... but I will keep watching your videos because they're entertaining and a great way to escape and think about what a privileged life you must lead, that enables you to have the time to break down to a science something as frivolous as a roller coaster💯

I'm super late but I rode it 4 times this week, first time going to Hershey Park. Restraints cause absolutely no pain what so ever and i grayed out all 4 rides. The ejector and first drop was insanity! I respect your opinion 100%, but holy hell that coaster is INTENSE.

I hope I can get to where you are with it. When I rode it, I got seriously bruised. Right now, it’s my last favorite coaster ever.

I hit coaster #450 with Orion this summer, so I've experienced almost the same amount of coasters as you. I've ridden Skyrush 10 times and only got stapled once. The front row is a complete different experience than the back, and the wing seats are a different experience than the middle seats, regardless of the row. It's a top 10 coaster for me. The middle seats remind me of Milly and the wing seats are intense if it is hauling at top speed. It is a unique love/hate ride experience coaster that varies each time. If you get that great ride experience on it, you will put up with the stapling and bad experiences to recapture the magic of a legendary ride. I wish I could say the same about El Toro...

Rode Skyrush yesterday and Saturday and it was hauling ASS in 60 degree weather. Got insane ejector in the front and the back on every element. Actually felt like I was going to fall out on some of the last few turns and I had to hold on. It was seriously insane. Really don't know if I like this or Candy more.... EDIT: Took a week to really sink in. Rode it 1 day after you posted the video so I was a little coaster high on it. But I still think it's a top 10 ride for me at least. I look at my list as if I had to take 1 last ride on it, and it's a seriously enjoyable experience.

I rode it back in September for the first time and i can happily say Skyrush is in my top 10. I had an awesome 10 total rides. It was running great both days i went to Hershey. The seats took me a while to get used too but in the end it wasn’t so bad. Backrow Left wing seat is where it’s at for me.

One of my last rides on there, I was on the second to last row in the back, left wing seat. I would definitely consider that the most intense seat. I would definitely try that seat if you want the most intense ride (in my opinion). Granite I am 5'5", and I don't know if that makes a difference compared to someone who is over 6 ft, but it definitely threw me around those turns. Either way, I'm glad you got to re-ride it and change your opinion. (You still need a ride in in the front row though) lol.

I feel this so much. I was super excited to ride Skyrush as I305 is at my home park. I couldn’t even take in the views because I just wanted it to end. Many don’t like Intimidator, but atleast it isn’t a painful ride.

One thing I noticed when I visited in 2022 was that they lift up the restraints a little bit once you stop on the brake run. That way, you're not sitting there in constant pain, which I appreciated. Another aspect was that first drop and those turns in the back row had some amazing laterals. For example, I was riding in the back left-wing seat with my hands up during the drop, just to be violently jerked to the right as I hit the bottom of the drop. Yeah, it may have hurt, but I've never had a coaster do that to me.

Can we appreciate this editing though! 😂

I absolutely love this ride, I moved it up into my top 5 from my trip there in August and it seriously is the most intense coaster I have ever been on.

Defintely an elite coaster for me, I rode it back in 2014 on my last US trip and would definitely love to give it another go. I have to add though, that I certainly also experiences the pain on those two airtime hills, but it was a hot and humid day, and the ride was so aggressive and intense... About the drop, it shocked me that the last bit really pulls you out of your seat so much, I did not expect that when I first rode it. To me it still is one of my personal favourite drops on any roller coaster. And by the way, I rode it 16 times when I visited the park (1 day) and left without bruises or anything like that ;-)

Honestly I’ve never gotten stapled on this, and I never try to hold the lap bar up at all. Also that second airtime hill always feels more powerful than the first. I will say that riding it early in the day is significantly different than the end. My first ride ever had barely any airtime and by the end of the day it felt like it was going to kill me.

@johnfoltz8183

I might have been stapled once or twice on this, but while sitting on brake run waiting for the other train to dispatch, they release the lap bars a tiny bit to give riders a little relief

This video is the embodiment of “you couldn’t live with your own failures, and where did that bring you? Back to me.” Nice job man :)

I am in top 10 camp. For my 5 rides, it was just Insanely intense. I could see the layout being repetitive and weak, but for me it's all about the forces! I remember on a front seat wing ride, it pulled me around so much, I actually had to white knuckle and hold on for dear life for the first time in 260 coasters because I thought it was genuinely going to rip me out the side of the train for a moment. I think the comparison to a mini i305 says it best. It's fast, forceful, and out of control-and that's why I instantly fell in love with it on my first trip to Hershey in over a decade this year....

I haven't ridden Skyrush before but I can't believe that it'd have more airtime than Steel Vengence. I prefer intensity over airtime but SV had by far the most of any coaster that I've ridden but my coaster count is probably only around 100 or so.

Personal thoughts: I have to pull as hard as I can on the lap bar the whole ride, and I get moderately stapled, not too painful. I went to Hershey twice this summer, and it was running really well, so I thought all the turn elements were super forceful, complimenting the airtime moments well. I definitely concede that unless you pull with all your strength, the bottom of the first hill will kill your legs. The first turn only has single spine track, and I definitely feel the rattle. Bottom line, I love this ride because I can (barely) keep the lapbar from killing me, and most of the elements popped when I rode it this summer. I totally understand where you’re coming from, and honestly think it’s just a bummer you’ve had a lesser experience than most enthusiasts with this ride.

I don’t know if this feature was always there or not, but when I went for the first time this summer, they had a mechanism that loosened the restraints while you were sitting on the break run. It was a nice touch

I still haven’t found my way to Hershey park, but I’m actually excited to ride this when I get there

Haven't ridden it but I'm intrigued. My home park is Cedar Point and was for a decade, Kings Island and only recently got back into coasters (thanks 2020 and endless youtube! and your channel!). I'm mainly intrigued to try out those seats and I am short AND chubby. Just got my first and ONLY ride (ugh access passes) on Steel Vengeance two weeks ago and my singular complaint was the damn restraints that put my stomach roll in some sort of "over or under" purgatory with all the airtime. Assigned seating but we ended up in the front row (as someone generally afraid of heights, that's usually my preferred spot but after an assigned last row on Millennium, I'm rethinking this) and I think I want to rank it at the top? But mostly it just scrambled my brain (in the best way) and I still don't even fully comprehend what all happened. On the other hand, I get what you mean about the layout. Sure, I haven't been on it but the first person videos and the general layout just don't impress me. It definitely looks like a LOT of filler. Hoping on a solid 2021 season armed with Cedar Fairs Platinum pass for the first time. If we end up going through PA, we will definitely revisit Hershey Park. I went once at the peak of my "horrified as an only child on a family vacation" adolescence around 2000 ish.

I just hate being called a gp just because I don't like skyrush. I've been on it about 10 times, and its just awful every time. As someone with large, sensitive thighs, this thing is torture.

My only experience on Skyrush was like your first. It was really hot and it was the last ride of the day. I found that the elements you mentioned were the highlights and everything else were transitions to those elements. I will say that it was hauling that day and you could really feel that airtime hill and the first drop but after that it was more sedate.

Hilarious. After 3 minutes - wait, is that the intro music??

Underrated comment!

I definitely agree that the layout sucks, but what's so incredible about it for me is the airtime, and forces in general. I also hated it the first time I rode and was in great pain afterwards, but I gave it a second chance and adjusted the way I sat and came out feeling exhilirated. Everything about the ride feels extremely intense for me, not just the turnaround like you mentioned. It's one of the most intense and aggressive experiences I've had on a coaster, and I say that even as someone who has ridden I305. Probably the most insane ejector air I've ever felt personally, and some of the turns can whip you with some strong laterals, especially on the wing seats. I still think the restraints suck, and the experience could have been a lot better if they were different, but the forces are enough to make it a noteworthy ride for me.

Chris, I run We Were Inverted. I just wrote a blog a few weeks ago saying how much more I like this ride than I ever used to. I'm only 90 minutes from Hershey. Been many times. I think they changed the padding to a softer material. It's not the same light blue anymore, it's now dark blue. And ride ops constantly ask me if I'm comfortable when putting down the restraints. I scoot up and arch my back up a bit. After they do their thing I scoot back into the seat and don't have any issues now. Sure, it could be better, but it isn't like it used to be.

Every element on this ride is insane imo. The drop has a double pop of airtime. The turns are super forceful, and every hill has insane ejector. The Stengel dive is fun and the turn after has insane laterals, and those final two hills are crazy. I find holding the bars on the side of the lap bar really helps make this ride amazing. I currently have this ranked 4/169, above steel Vengeance too

The airtime is great on all the hills for me. Those banked turns really throw you and I love that out of control feeling. It is over too soon though so it goes just behind i305 for me. Still, best ejector I’ve ever had.

Airtime thrills when the coaster doesn't fit his extremely specific and high expectations:

Honestly skyrush is my favorite roller coaster. The ejector airtime is insane and positive gs are great aswell. Also the restraints are not bad at all

I really think you just got it on a bad day, because when I rode it, all the airtime hills had some insane ejector airtime, & the train was hauling ass throughout the entire layout, it felt like it wanted to get rid of you, it was crazy fun. I do understand with the restraints though, they definitely can be painful, but personally, I don't mind them too much in the end, the ride is well worth it

AirtimeThrills: makes a vid on skyrush Me: dear god I never thought this would be what I am watching

I've only been on like 90 coasters but this is by far my favorite. Can't get enough of Skyrush

i actually really like the freedom from skyrushes restraints, and the pain isnt a big deal for me if you sit towards the left

I have pencil legs and the restraints have never bothered me ever since they modified them a few years ago. Even if you get stapled, the fact that you can still feel how aggressive the forces are is why I love it so much. On a normal day, those turns that you call dead parts of the ride absolutely slam your body around, and don’t even get me started on hot days. The ride almost feels dangerous. Just my quick run down on it

Never thought I'd see the day when you'd apologize to SkyRush. And great choice of intro music ....

YES! I knew you'd come through!!

Sometimes the pain makes it fun! Back riding magnum with all the homies screaming and laughing in pain was honestly the best

That's funny. Been riding Skyrush since 2012. I used to actually like it but I feel it's gotten waayy worse over the years. Bad rattle. Slower than it used to be so now it's not intense and it's over in the blink of an eye to.

I personally love Skyrush! Sure I've been stapled on one of my rides but if you don't get stapled, its Awesome! Its very intense and has amazing airtime and great positive G forces.

Im planning a trip out East next year, cant wait to judge this one myself. The only restraint I despise is the Vekoma SLC restraints so far.

A trick that I found while riding was to sit forward in the station so that the lap bar comes down on your waist, rather than your mid-thigh. This might only work for me because I’m relatively skinny, but it’s worth a try. The angle the lap bars come down at means the further you can get it down it will be less vertical and more diagonal. Also something cool, ride on the left side (preferably back row), and the turn after the stengel dive absolutely whips you out of the train, it’s wild. Another thing, a couple seconds after the train parks on the brake run, the lap bars pop up a bit. It varies from ride to ride, but I’ve gotten anywhere from 1/2 an inch to 3.

I am weird 😂, I don't mind getting stapled on rides with ejector airtime (but still, some extra room is always better). Sometimes when I was unfortunately stapled on rides like El Toro, the RMCs, or Skyrush, I get that weird pleasure of the negative G forces stretching my upper body upwards and I absolutely love that feeling (again, I'm weird 😂). I think that is definitely a reason to why I think Skyrush is a top steel coaster in the US. Especially when it is running really fast, on that occasion the turns make me grey out and the second airtime feels just as awesome as the first. The only pain I feel on this coaster when the train I was on got stacked on the brake run (on some occasions, the ride ops will actually loosen the lap bars of the stacked train by a bit because they knew it might be an issue). But personally, that pain doesn't really bother me that much haha. Skyrush is just a fun coaster to talk about. Like you said in this video, I do agree with the statement that this is probably the most polarizing coaster out there. And I just love debating with people about polarizing things, coasters or not 😂.

I'm surprised Hershey Park is still open during the fall. I used to press the B&M vest restraints so stupidly tight so I would probably be alright. Too bad I can't go there, Skyrush, Storm Runner, Fahrenheit, and Candymomiuem (can't spell) look amazing

Yes. Not all Intamins are as bad as they are made out to be. Great to see that you are coming around to it. Keep Up The Great Work Chris and Stay Safe

Rode Skyrush for the first time Saturday and I was amazed, and I was screaming my head off. Also I like it better than I305

I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while. Nothing against you just been busy. But this caught my interest. I haven’t ridden Sky Rush yet so I have no opinion.

Wasn’t expecting this video..

This is a top 10 KZread apology video right here

ThighCrush™... Expect bruises and red marks for days. 🤣 But I have to disagree with you about the layout, I think if it had great restraints, well, it would definitely be in my top 25. I haven't ridden nearly as many coasters as you though, less than 100!

That intro had me dying!

My favorite thing to do on Skyrush is ride in the front row, but take my shoes off. As soon as the gates open, I yank off my sneakers, and get on. It's so fun to feel the blood in your feet. I also do the same thing with B&M Inverts now.

I know u probably can’t but I’m going to KI on Saturday and I really wanna get my don’t staple me bro shirt by then also I love ur channel and ur my favorite roller coasters channel

Imma go 2 Hershey and ride skyrush soon. Last time my friend went, he got a back row ride and said it was great but hurt a bit. I’m curious how I’ll do.

I’m just waiting for him to go to La Ronde and ride Vipere There will be some great entertainment with that
