Unknown Hershey Park Coaster

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

This may sound weird, but I remember one time going on to Hershey Park's website and seeing that they were making a new coaster (not Fahrenheit). It didn't look like a normal coaster because the track was all vertical like on a wall. The trains were 2 across in 2 rows back to back and it swayed back and forth. But it was never made and I can't find anything about it anywhere. The only thing i'm not really sure on is if it was at Hershey Park but everything else I remember clearly. Does anyone know something about this?

I think that was a Proposed and almost built 05 or so coaster called Turbulance that was similar to a Screaming Squirrel but didn't go upside down. It was cancelled because the Designers raised the cost of the ride to reflect steel costs. Hope this helps.

Yeah, it was Turbulence! It's a Frequent Faller coaster made from Interactive Rides

http://www.interactiverides.com

I'd have to say, having ridden their only existing rides up on the Stratosphere, that i would have probably liked that coaster. They make decent flats and that would have been an interesting concept to have seen made.

Thanks alot! I think that would have been cool to see a new kind of coaster. It's not like Screaming Squirrel because the train is hanging off of the side of the track.
Are the rides on the Stratosphere the only rides made by Interactive Rides? If they are how is Interactive Rides still open? Did they take down the coaster on the Stratosphere? Their concepts do look fun, but the roller coaster doesn't seem accurate. Up to 450 ft going only 75 mph?
Thanks again!

^Yes, they took the coaster down, although some of the supports are clearly visible. Also, i do believe those are the only two rides in the US that are up....FParker help?! :lol: I still think it would have been cool to see the Frequent Faller they designed to fall off the stratosphere come true....

What if they put a frequent faller where Splash Water Falls was?

I would definitely like to see one go up somewhere, but i think a ride like that could fit in a smaller location than Splashwater Falls....maybe by Hometown Park or something...
