    I've ridden L.R. more than any other roller coaster. It's the only one that I ride every time that I go to Hersheypark. It has definitely gotten quite rough, and I hope that they can make it smooth again and keep it exactly the same (but even out the duel; the green side wins almost every time.) Don't go throwing inversions in there; I liked Wildcat, before it got painful, better than Revenge.

    It seems strange that they would leave the stage (even supporting the proscenium with wood structuring), if they are planning on tearing it down. Although its remains could become part of a queueing area. Screamin' Swings require a a flat loading platform and a circular path swept out by each of the swings and I'm not seeing it on that hillside. Also ADA accessibility considerations make that a challenging location for any platform loading ride. That site would be better suited to an S&S Steeplechase Coaster which could use the slope of the hill.

    My mum worked at the park in the 70s. Lots of old rides like the Rotor and the Bug that would never be built now. There was once a mini train that ran around the outer perimeter of the park- one of the cars is on display in the Chocolate Town retail area. There was also a tunnel of love ride called the Lost River and a walk through funhouse called Laff Land. Laughing Sal was rescued upon its demolition and she’s under glass at the Laff Track que now.

    I remember when Flying Falcon debuted. It was magnificent and certainly one of the best flat rides of all time. The ride looked great at night and each falcon had yellow lit up eyes! And I loved when it got to the top, slowed and almost stopped before spinning fast within each arm of the ride! Memories!!!

  • @herecomesthesun18
    @herecomesthesun18 6 місяців тому

    I completely agree with your points, but disagree too...I feel like before WC was RMCd, Hershey maybe could've RMCd LR which would allow another unique (dueling) RMC to the collection and then WC could be turned into something completely different. Maybe a dive or wing...? Then Hershey would have 2 great new coasters to add to their outstanding, diverse lineup 😀 Nice video though, I can tell a lot of thought was put into it! My family and I love Hershey and enjoy going there a bunch! What's your favorite coaster at Hershey? (I personally like Candy, I'm a floater and hyper coaster- type of person 😅)

    I don't think it's needed but I think Lightning Racer's days are unfortunately numbered. Sitting right beside the waterpark that the GP love and a strained relationship with GCI (they have kept those Wildcat trains in storage so they can service Lightning Racer themselves, without GCI's involvement) it only makes too much sense. I'd say give it 10 years but it'll eventually happen. I have nostalgia for it too so it also saddens me to say that.

  • @Yikes_its_Psychs
    @Yikes_its_Psychs 6 місяців тому

    I agree that RMCing it is a bad idea, however, I would like to see them retrack it with Titan track (keep the layout the same), or use the new prefabricatedtrack like found on the retracked portions of Grizzly. Then it wouldn't be so bad with the shuffling and jackhammering.

  • @imperialbagel
    @imperialbagel 6 місяців тому

    Lightning Racer is aging way better than Wildcat. It is very smooth as far as wooden coasters go, and it is a fun staple to the park. That's not even taking into account that Wildcat's Revenge is right next to it. This question shouldn't even be asked for at least another decade. If Hershey removes this ride anytime before then they will probably not see many people being happy.

  • @TheCycloneHunter
    @TheCycloneHunter 6 місяців тому

    I don't want to insult anyone who thinks that this should happen, but I've said it before and I'll say it again. RMCing Lightning Racer is quite possibly the single dumbest thing that Hersheypark could do. It's the same thing as when people were talking about Cedar Point getting a B&M Giga. Why the hell would CP want to build a ride that both directly competes with, and makes completely obsolete, one of their top attractions? There is a huge difference between parks like Hershey and Kennywood getting multiple hypers, or even parks like Fiesta Texas getting two RMCs, because those rides offer entirely different ride experiences from each other. You're never gonna get people saying "why should I ride Iron Rattler when I can ride Wonder Woman instead?" because they're completely different experiences. If they were to do this, not only would they be overfilling a gap in their lineup that they already filled with Wildcat, but they would have two coasters, on the same midway mind you, that look and act incredibly similarly. And if that were to happen, well then the whole issue of LR making Wildcat irrelevant would come right back. Why not have Gravity Group just come in and retrack it like they did with Grizzly? It would make the ride better and more popular, and it wouldn't give them a second, completely unnecessary hybrid coaster.

    I agree...leave it alone. I am more concerned about LR being torn down to add to the Boardwalk. However, I do wonder if the relationship between GCI and HP is damaged due to Wildcat's Revenge (Even if the known issue with Wildcat was the PTC trains it opened with did sooooo much damage)

    • @HersheyAddict
