Skyrush review by Gazza

by Gazza, 6 years ago
Rated 4.5 One of the worlds best coasters. Steep airtime filled first drop, powerful hills, intense stengel dives and a relentless experience.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

The ride is relentless and feels out of control. This isn't for everyone, but if you are after a ride that pushes the limits you cant go past this.

Effectiveness Very Good

The ride is much more intense than the name and pleasant station building suggest.

Intensity Very High

Some of the strongest airtime you'll ever experience, and the the other twists and dives generate some strong sideways forces, particularly in the outside seats. You aren't riding this coaster, rather you are being dragged along mercilessly.

Rider Comfort Good

The harnesses can be a bit tight and press uncomfortably, however it wasn't as bad as what early reviews suggest. That said, it is odd that Intamin still struggle with a comfortable lap bar, when companies like S&S and Mack got it right on their first go.

Pacing Amazing

Belts through the course. Even the lift hill is fast!

Theming/Storyline Good

The station building is just generic US amusement park style, however the setting is mostly over and around a lake, which is nice.

Upkeep/Presentation Very Good

The ride was fairly new at the time of my visit, however birds nests were present in the station celing fans and should be removed.

Queue/Efficiency Good

The winged offset seating design means people tend to want to sit in pairs in the middle seats, resulting in a lot of empty seats, with no single rider queue to rectify this. Loading and unloading is on the same side, which is puzzling, and this delays when they can open the loading gates.
