It was done by JetPulse, the guy who supported Outpost 7.

Thought I'd throw that in.

Could that video cut away from angles any faster? Jeez I hope an epileptic doesn't end up watching that.

Though the track was done well nonetheless.

More Pictures! There are pictures of the second train which is a nice deep blue. I really like the look of the ride with the creek filled up. It should be a cool experience!

Wait, so when does this open? It's Memorial Day weekend, right? My school is going the week before, but I heard somewhere that it's open early in May.

Well honestly it looks like everything is done except the queue railings (which will take no time) and testing. Assuming everything goes well in testing I would assume May will easily be feasible, but I have been hearing Memorial Day weekend all along (and am planning a trip that weekend) so I would still say that is the target date.

To be honest these restraint designs seem notably different from the recent intamin restraints for them to be a style we have yet to see. Also I don't see why they would ship the trains without the over-shoulder harnesses and attach them once on site. Doesn't make any sense.

99.9% sure they're not adding shoulder harnesses. The restraints are as is. Note that even the bottom portion is different from what's depicted in that artwork hyyyper, so it's already not a valid argument. That was just used to show people a color scheme for the video contest.

I love those restraints and the fact that there's actually enough legroom for people more than 6 feet tall. Can't wait to ride in August.

I think it'll shoulder harnesses. What is the last time Intamin built something without them (in the US). What would have made them change their minds?

Hershey has said over and over again they redesigned the restraints tons of times to achieve one they wanted that would allow for the most freedom and no over the shoulder restraint...
