According to Screamscape, the first Frequent Faller coaster will be built at Hersheypark and will be named Turbulence. It is confirmed and is not a silly rumor. There are no official press releases yet though.

It will sport the colors of red, white, blue. It is 150 feet tall and 750 feet long. It will run 7 cars for 960 pph. Sounds pretty cool! :)

I was definitely thinking Hersheypark would be one of the candidates for that ride. They are limited on space and frequent falllers take up virtually no space. I was thinkin Hersheypark or Indiana Beach, one of the two.

Sorry for a stupid question but what is a frequent faller? Is that a freefall ride?

That looks cool.

However I think I saw a brake after every drop...

They're called block brakes. :D It doesn't necesarily mean they will slow it down.
