Page 5 of 10 THE REBEL YELL A TRIP NORTH By Stephen Gray, Mid-Atlantic Assistant Rep A short drive from Washington DC is a great park that I find to rival any major theme park on the east coast. I am talking about Hershey Park in Hershey Pennsylvania. The town and the park atmosphere make this the perfect getaway for a great day trip if you live close by. Milton Hershey throught many years of effort took this town from little known cow pastures to the chocolate capital of the world. Those of use who like roller coasters are also starting to consider it to have a fine world class collection of roller coasters. It may not have the biggest or the fastest but it can easily provide excitement for any level of rider. As Hershey celebrates its 100th year as an amusement park we should remember that is the simple founding values that make this park so great. I have never had a bad customer experience or a miserable day. Even when it rains you still have the fun of Chocolate World to help pass the time. The Boardwalk was added this year to help celebrate the 100th anniversary. We all remember trips to the seashore with our families - the rides, the salt air and the food. This new section of the park nestled between Wildcat and Lightning Racer is their homage to the days gone past at your favorite sea side resort. Hershey pulled out all the stops to make this addition world class. Already in this section of the park you have Roller Soaker, Tidal Force and Canyon River Rapids.

    98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 6 Notes Modern Manufacturers So last week, we discussed many important early roller coaster manufacturers, but most of them (except PTC and Vekoma) don’t exist today. This week, we will discuss the currently industry leaders, as well as a few other large / notable manufacturers Intamin AG Intamin (abbreviation for International Amusement Installations) is one of the two most prominent steel coaster manufacturers today A Swiss company, they were founded in 1967 and begun building flat rides like observation towers They began their move into the roller coaster world by serving as an intermediary for Schwarzkopf when selling rides in America. Over time, they began building their own creations Their first coaster was only 19ft tall (Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point; ironically, 34 years later, they would add a coaster nearby that stood 400ft taller) One of their employees, who also worked with Schwarzkopf, was Werner Stengel, the greatest steel coaster designer in the world. He has had his hand in over 500 roller coaster projects and was behind such innovations as the modern vertical loop and heartlining. He later went one to form Ing.-Büro Stengel GmbH, a German company that designs most major steel coasters today, including those made by Intamin and B&M They perfected the stand-up coaster, originally invented by Togo in 1982, with the Shockwave at Six Flags Magic Mountain o The ride was actually designed by B&M, when they still worked at Intamin Their first popular model was the ‘Mega Coaster’ line starting in 1999, which were custom designed hyper coasters usually featuring out and back layouts with large helixes.
