Hersheypark’s popular roller coaster Skyrush is getting an upgrade
One of Hersheypark’s most-popular roller coasters is getting an upgrade.
The park announced this week that it is upgrading the flight experience on Skyrush to first-class, with all new seats and restraints, along with a re-imagined station platform featuring an all-new paint scheme, new lighting effects and a custom soundscape.
“The investment in the high-thrill attraction will provide coaster lovers with added comfort while experiencing the adrenaline rush they know and crave,” Hersheypark said in its announcement.
The new Skyrush upgrades will be available for guests to experience when the largest amusement park in Pennsylvania opens for its 118th operating year on March 29, Hersheypark said.
Skyrush will be open for Spring Weekends, summer and the Hersheypark Halloween seasonal event.
One of 15 coasters at Hersheypark, Skyrush climbs 200 feet into the air before flying downhill at 75 mph as it heads into four high-speed turns and five zero-G airtime hills for a thrilling ride experience. Skyrush was ranked as one of the top 10 coasters in the United States by USA TODAY 10 Best in 2023.
