Skyrush, Hypercoaster at Hersheypark, Pennsylvania, US.
The steel roller coaster reaches speeds of 75 miles per hour and includes a 200-foot drop with five zero-gravity airtime moments throughout the track.
Introduced in 2012, Skyrush represented a new generation of roller coasters with its wing-seat design and brought increased visitor numbers to Hersheypark.
The roller coaster attracts enthusiasts from across North America who travel specifically to experience its steep drops and high-speed banking turns.
Riders must transfer from wheelchairs, store belongings in nearby lockers, and meet specific height requirements before accessing the roller coaster platform.
The 2024 modifications include redesigned seats and restraints that eliminate the previous discomfort while maintaining the intensity of the experience.

This collection brings together roller coasters designed to push the limits of speed and engineering. The attractions feature diverse technologies, from hybrid wooden and steel structures to fully metallic constructions. The courses include multiple inversions, nearly vertical drops at angles close to 90 degrees, and speeds exceeding 87 miles per hour (140 km/h). Some models utilize the natural terrain to create prolonged acceleration sensations. Participating parks are located across several continents. In North America, Cedar Point in Ohio houses Steel Vengeance with its four inversions at 75 miles per hour (120 km/h), while Kings Dominion in Virginia offers Intimidator 305 with its steep descent at 53 degrees. In Europe, PortAventura in Spain hosts Shambhala, which peaks at 250 meters (820 feet), and Alton Towers in the UK features The Smiler with its fourteen inversions. Asia also has notable rides like T-Express at Everland in South Korea, spanning nearly 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) across hilly terrain.
