Skyrush, Hypercoaster at Hersheypark, Pennsylvania, US.
Description
Skyrush is a steel hypercoaster at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania that reaches a top speed of 75 miles per hour (120 km/h) and features a 200-foot (61-meter) drop. The ride includes five moments of zero gravity and several steep banking turns along the entire track.
History
The ride opened in 2012 and introduced a wing-seat design that places passengers to the side of the main track. In 2024, new seats and restraints were installed to improve comfort during the ride.

The name refers to rushing through the sky, and visitors can choose seats that hang on the outer edges of the track or sit closer to the center. Each position offers a different view and physical sensation during the ride.
