Hydra:The Revenge - NoLimits The NoLimits Team made this not me!!!
Footers appeared. Steel track arrived. Support (More) The NoLimits Team made this not me!!!
Footers appeared. Steel track arrived. Support columns rose. And this spring, Dorney Park will open Hercules successor: Hydra: the Revenge. In mythology, the story goes that Hercules once completed the impossible task of slaying a ferocious nine-headed serpentine monster. That monster's name was Hydra, and in 2005 Dorney is continuing the legend by bringing Hydra back to life in the form of an equally-serpentine multi-inversion steel twister of a floorless coaster. The company behind this new experience is Bolliger and Mabillard, who brought some of their Swiss magic to Allentown once before with Dorney's 2001 inverted Talon. For the same price tag as Talon - thirteen million - the park will get a completely different type of steelie using their unique floorless, above-track trains, and a longer, loopier layout. While Hydra won't slaughter old Hercules at all in the way of statistics, what it will do is put new uniquenesses into B&M's popular floorless coaster.
Starting out of the station with the first ever pre-lift inversion in the world, a heartline roll that Dorney calls a 'jojo roll,' riders will know that they're in for something unique. From a lift hill equal in height to the defunct ride, passengers will drop immediately into an inclined version of a dive loop making this ride the first of its kind to throw away the traditional vertical loop. And from there, the unique sequence of inversions continues as the stand-out lime and dark green track forms a zero-g roll, corkscrew, compact cobra roll, and second corkscrew in a course vaguely double-out and back, like the previous coaster. Along with inversions, Hydra will have plenty to offer with a layout including a high-speed S-curve, airtime hop, and carousel curve. The same terrain that Hercules once roamed has also been taken advantage of by Hydra: the Revenge, though more minimally, and riders will dive into five trenched valleys including one at the curving base of the ten-story first drop.
The concrete midway leads to the back corner of Dorney Park where teal and green steel waits to thrill. Passengers get in line near Hydra's first corkscrew and, sooner or later, ascend into the loading station up a flight of stairs. In the station, the queue divides into eight rows and the next group of thirty-two performs boarding procedures once the air gates open. Pink shoulder harnesses pushed snugly into place, the station floor retracts to reveal the green track directly underfoot. Once Hydra leaves the station behind, the train dips slightly and begins the first roll to start off the ride with a bang, and plenty of hang time, rotating a full 360 degrees to the right, and then completing a clockwise banked turnaround much as Hercules once did. The track straightens and then the chain lift starts riders on their trip up the ninety-five-foot slope. Passing over the Thunder Creek Mountain flume and the end of Hydra's S-curve, a leisurely climb brings the ride up just above Steel Force's double-helix out to the left and well over Lake Dorney beyond. Instead of the standard Bolliger and Mabillard dip, the first drop begins, ready or not, heading down straight ahead and down sixty-eight degrees. As the track pulls out, a banked fourty-five-degree turn to the right ventures into the first trench 105 feet below as rocks fly past on either side at fifty-three miles an hour. The track climbs and rolls left to enter into the sixty-five-foot inclined dive loop inversion, and once inverted the left half inclined loop takes riders down just below ground level again only to pull up into the second inversion. Two-toned green track climbs and twists over the top in the heartline spin of the zero-g roll before plunging and pulling into the first corkscrew. Hydra: the Revenge throws passengers for a right corkscrew diving down the hillside fifty feet and into another trench at the start of the cobra roll.

Are you in need of a problem? www.needaproblem.com
«Are you happy? Do you live a quiet, carefree life? How boring. What you lack are contrasts. You urgently need problems to solve. Youll see it works!»
As a world exclusivity, three young Swiss offer problems on www.needaproblem.com For this purpose, Martin Koncilja, Björn Hering and Hansmartin Amrein founded the company needaproduction. It was Martin Koncilja who originally had the idea. «I asked myself why it is that nobody has had this idea a long time before me» describes this young man from Bern the origins. «After all, everything that is humanly possible or impossible is already offered in the Internet. After the most intensive research, it became clear to me, however, that this niche had in fact not yet beed discovered by anybody.»
«The biggest enemy of happiness is apart from pain boredom.» Arthur Schopenhauer
We do not close our eyes. Every day, the majority of mankind are faced with serious problems. Never in our lives would we want to belittle what are real tragedies. All the more do we hold up a mirror to ourselves. At all places where the existential problems are solved one of lifes ironies boredom becomes an ever bigger challenge. What is not offered us today in the way of distraction and amusement Reality Shows, Live Education and whatever all the virtual formats are called none of them give us the ultimate kick any more. Therefore our proposal: Back to essentials, back to real problems. Because real happiness can only be experienced by those who master problems successfully.
«Pain is so close to pleasure.» Freddy Mercury
Always and ever equally beautiful is not beautiful any more.
Only those who have known hunger, enjoy eating.
Only after the tax declaration is filled in, do we again find pleasure in saving.
Only those who have camped in the dirt, can enjoy four-star accommodation.
Only after experiencing stress can we enjoy repose.
