I rode this ride back in 2015 when I hadn’t been to many parks before, though I loved roller coasters I went with my parents and when we rode this, my dad and I sat on the ends with no floor, and after that first drop I’d never felt so scared on a ride. I usually always go hands up, but that first drop and turn made me feel like I was legit gonna be thrown out of my restraints. My dad had the same feeling. We didn’t know if that was intentional or not because it was absolutely insane how far forward my body flew I wanna ride it again since I haven’t been back since, and now I’ll be prepared for that, my opinion might change on how much I like the ride, cuz the first time, I was just happy to have survived

i went yesterday and i went on skyrush 6 times! the drop is crazy it makes you feel like you're gonna fall out of your restraints! if you dont like that feeling too much then i suggest do what i do. Basically when its about the time where that feeling happens on the ride i tuck my legs under my seat to hold me so i dont get that feeling as much. hope this helped!

Skyrush is light work. When I was on the roller coaster, I was about five years old. And I had no complaints. You were just completely over reacting.
I was one of the contest winners for Project 2012, and by sheer luck got the back outside left seat. The kink on that drop is the one moment in decades of riding that I felt actual FEAR on a coaster. For that brief second you feel like the train has come off the track and you are being flung to the ground. No other drop since has compared, and Hershey has probably the closest thing to a modern day Crystal Beach Cyclone in terms of intensity.

Finally got out to Hershey Park for the first time on Friday and knocked this off of my bucket list. Luckily the restraints did not bother me at all, I was too in awe over the sheer relentlessness of this thing to even notice. I got 3 rides in, all back row (two left wing, and one right wing). The first drop is a total "oh sh**" moment! 10/10!

the restraints are actually some of my favorite because they dont hurt, and they have no lateral support so you can lean outside of the train on the snaps
My #1 coaster! BEST RIDE EVER I’m happy you guys had fun on it as it looks like it
I rode Skyrush for the first time today and got two rides on it. First I did it in the back row. The drop was insane, and some of those hills have great ejector. Unfortunately I did get thigh crushed on that first ride. I was on the right wing seat. It was pretty shaky too which I wasn’t expecting. I rode Skyrush later in the front row in the left side and aside from the drop, it was sooooo much better. It was smoother, I felt the forces more on those turns, and I didn’t get thigh crushed. Even with that amazing second ride, I don’t know if I can call it a 10/10 roller coaster because of that first ride I had on it. Quite literally the definition of a love it or hate it coaster.
IMagine a debate Chris from @Airtime Thrills VS Sarah about Skyrush
Green hoodie trying to put his hands up but panicking once that pop of airtime hits speaks volumes about how insane this coaster is
Can confirm, the restraints are actually pretty decent now. I don't know what they did (I think it's just softer/thicker padding), but it made a world of difference. We may finally be able to retire the "Thigh Crush" name.

This could just be me but I noticed Skyrush doesn't destroy my legs as bad when I ride a middle seat compared to the wing seats. The ride is--- dare I say, enjoyable. Lol
I actually felt something crack in my leg on the sudden airtime pop on Fahrenheit, never had that on Skyrush. Its restraints may not be ideal, but a lot of it is just the amount of ejective force (appears they found the limit). I hold on to bar towards the side as needed to control lift forces instead of the useless handholds.

When it decides to ratchet down, it is painful sitting on the brake run so no, it isn't the ejector force.

@@gametime2473 the ratcheting doesn't help, but it takes 20 seconds at least of sitting on the brake run for the pain to approach that of on the ride -- and I don't think you're touching the seat during -2g's no matter how much it ratchets. Plus my ride technique really does work, while on some other coasters it's more important to reduce ratcheting. I agree the ratcheting contributes to the overall impression, and when you get the pressure release on the brake run it's a big relief, but I don't think it increases the maximum pain point.
bro, Coaster Studios... You're riding roller coasters everywhere. You are literally living out my dreams. By the way, I love your videos!
You should make a Hyperion vs Skyrush video like your iron gwazi vs zadra one.
The restraints on Skyrush usually are good, but then other times it locks down like a vise. My 10th ride on Skyrush on my last visit to Hershey was excruciating but the first 9 were great. I think once it is fully warmed up and running fast it is more likely to ratchet down.

Holy crap, just look how fast it went up out of the station, that's nuts.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new restraints
My family and I were fairly disappointed with Skyrush. I got 3 rides and I just thought it didn’t live up to the hype. The first drop is mild and gives slight floater, the airtime hills are strong but you don’t leave your seat because of the lap bars. The turns aren’t particularly exciting, just kind of meandering around. And then we got to sit on the break run for 5 minutes.

Sorry to be that guy. But I strongly dislike Skyrush, simply due to restraints. They destroy my legs as bad as T3. If this had Velocicoaster or Pantheon restraints, this would be a top 10 for sure. Hershey acknowledged it’s an issue, as that block zone before station they have begun releasing than a few inches so you can feel your legs again.
My least fav ride at the park due to the restraints. My femurs always feel like they are going to snap. I’m super skinny and it’s terrible for me.

We post videos that are quicker to edit in between. Think of it like filler. It's either that, or we don't post anything that day at all, and we figured this is the much better option.
