My Battle with Wildcat's Revenge & The Curse of Skyrush | Hersheypark - July 1st, 2023 

Shoutout to the unsung hero of all this - Chris’ wife who watches the baby so he can live out our fantasy and document it for the world to see. I know that isn’t easy.

"Is it weird that I'm walking around Hershey by myself, just taunting coasters?" Well, yes. Very much so. But you are one of us.

8:59 Airtime Thrills: “Never enough airtime” Arie Force One: “Hold my beer.”

Wildcats revenge on a 90 degree sunny day is just something else.

I love having a coaster RU-vidr who is a normal age with kids, bless you and what you do

Sophie having over 200 credits is one of those things thats still wild to me. I have a lot of catching up to do!

Great video as usual. Sophie’s blasé attitude kills me 😂😂. She’s a tough critic.

I can truly appreciate the 4 mile limit to walking to a park for a day of walking.

I gotta wonder what the people watching Chris vlog in their cars four miles from the park think about the situation

Wildcat's Revenge is my top priority at Hersheypark easily

I actually ride skyrush for the first time and it did not disappoint. I was addicted from the start.

as a Tennessean I am proud to hear such praises about Lighting Rod. :)

For those of you who have summer plans for Wildcat’s Revenge: Go around 12-2, that’s when the line is usually shorter

Was just here a few weeks ago And Skyrush was by far my favorite ride in the park! I agree with you on how Hershey got everything right with Wildcat! Lockers and ops were so awesome!

Happy you guys were able to get on Wildcat!! I was there on that Wednesday and it was unfortunately shut down😔 I’ll be back next week though to get my ride in though hopefully!!!

I couldn't wait to see your reaction to Wildcat's Revenge. Hershey is my home park and I was super hyped when I saw the RMC announcement last year. I had never been on any RMC coasters before now so i have nothing to compare to, but I think it's easily the best coaster in the park. I'll be looking out for your review!

How funny that you post a Hershey vlog while I’m at Hershey today

My home park! These vlogs are amazing, keep it up Airtime Thrills!!

I completely agree with you about sky rush, it’s such a shame the air time gets killed by the restraints, that being said I’m 250lbs, I’m sure everyone’s experience may vary

I love your videos so much, especially the vlogs. Big respect from England

I was at Hershey literally the day before you, unlucky on timing! I did get lucky with Wildcat though, as we were told it wouldn't open for the entire day (after being closed all of the previous 2), but come late afternoon, we saw it running and managed to score the ride. Really enjoyed it, and also loved Candy, Storm Runner, and yes - even ThighCrush Hope one day our paths cross! :)

Nice to see Sophie and you enjoying rides again together!

That was a fun vlog one of my favorite videos and entertaining the coaster thanks Chris! The next time you see the Skyrush, (Thighcrush) you might getting expected the risk of downgrade credit…💀

I think that Lightning Racer needs to get more love. I rode it for the first time in years yesterday. Rode in the back seat of the red train. It was hauling and is still pretty smooth. It really surprised me. What a great racing dueling woodie. Hershey Park. Coaster nirvana. Great video! Keep up the good work! My love for coasters began in the summer of 1977 when I got on the Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion. I will never forget the terror of going up that lift hill and looking over to the older guy next to me who said " your gonna love this". I actually thought that I was going to die throughout the ride but I loved it. I have been close to dying ever since that day every summer. I am older now and approaching retirement and had not ridden coasters for a number of years before I decided to get in the car and go to Hershey Park yesterday. It was a beautiful day. I was reminded of the magic that coasters provide. Thanks for giving some love to my response. I look forward to seeing more great videos.

always love Sophie's reviews

Glad to hear your thoughts on Wildcat's Revenge! I need to get more rides on it and more RMCs in general, right now i have it between Steel Vengeance and Lightning Rod. I think I'm most hyped you popped it above the Phantom for best in the state. Sophie's review was great!!

You were there like 2 days after me...I was there on the day WR was closed all day! This was one of my favorite vlogs of yours (even with the 😂😂Skyrush hatred). I'm so glad you mentioned the locker system on WR. I was so mad when I had to pay for a locker just to go on InvadR at Busch Gardens last year. The WR locker setup is perfect.

the titles of your videos are so lengedary haha

My rollar coaster goals were last time I went to Hershey Park in July this year were Wildcats Revenge, CandyMonium, and Jolly Rancher Remix. And I rode on all three of these boys.

Wow you were behind us at the entrance. I can see us in the video.

If she thought Wildcat was too much, imagine what she'd say about Steel Vengeance

I rode wildcats revenge yesterday. I thought it was far superior to SteVe but I still prefer Candymonium for the best in the park.

Damn it missed ya by a day. And Sophie is still ahead in credits!

1:22 Thrills, you're making me nervous walking on the wrong side of the road lol

I'm looking forward to riding this eventually

Airtime Thrills and hating Skyrush goes together like Peanut Butter and Jelly

Sophie’s Devastating Reviews - sounds like a great new segment title! 👍

I’ll never understand the Lightening Racer hate. It’s easily one of the top rides in the park and vastly underrated.

Never fail man never fail

We saw you at strickers! Didnt get a chance to say hi! Hopefully you enjoyed our 2 old woodies lol

Thank you for saying what needs to be said.

I love that Iron Gwazi shirt! (I have the same one 😅) And coincidentally, I wore it yesterday when I was there! 😅

Chris v Skyrush is my favorite beef on RU-vid.

It was nice meeting you at stickers grove

I had some of the best rides I’ve ever had on a roller coaster on a super hot day full trains end of day rides on wildcat and honestly it’s my number two rn it was insane. I think you would see this ride as s Tier if you got to ride it the entire end of the day.

I feel Sophie on the shoulder to head, I had whole partner into me on a lateral heavy flat ride at my local fair a couple of weeks ago. My ribs still hurt a bit.

I like how Sophie appreciates long rides. So do I, especially if coasters aren't a walk on. I can see trying out Skyrush in the back in a middle seat, but it's not exactly my biggest priority. Thanks for posting!

I like that wild cat’s doesn’t really have too many filler elements and instead focuses more on having bigger elements that stand out more

Storm Runner has a little known magic seat. 3rd row from the back. Airtime over the entire top hat.

You're the king of hot takes for thighcrush 😂

Nice video

I used to agree with you about skyrush until i had some incredible rides a few weeks ago. As soon as I got off I thought of the skyrush NOT being the best drop and started cracking up.

Totally agree with Sophie’s thoughts on Fahrenheit. It just doesn’t slap as hard as people say it does! Still a good ride tho.

That credit face 😂

Lightning Racer counts as 2 credits

google says the walk from that insurance place to hershey park was over an hour. i'm tired just thinking about that walk

Regardless what people think of the coasters at Hersheypark themselves, the park does have a solid lineup all around. Hersheypark is my home park as I only live 10 minutes away so at the start of the video I was like hey that's my neck of the woods.

If I had two hundred and nine credits, Every coaster would be GREAT. -envious coaster fan

I was there (for the first time) the same day lol right after I got my ride on Candymonium (I waited the whole day for the cred the line was insane😭) the rain just started going ham!! I got to Wildcat’s right after it went back up for the day, it was insane

Wow, I missed you by two days, I went on Monday. Between the threat of rain and it being the day before the Fourth, the longest we had to wait was 45 minutes for Candymonium. Pretty successful trip

After the disappointing start to coaster season I’ve had this year, I can’t wait to go back to Hershey Park. I still have half the credits to get, but I might skip out on Laff Trak since I hear its capacity is horrendous.

That rain stopped and they opened revenge back up and we got a few laps on it before close and it’s a different ride at night right after rain. I was the one who recognized you getting on great bear

Rode it a couple days ago. . . oh my goodness!!

Skyrush might take my legs, but it won’t take my dignity

You went to Hersheypark on Canada's 156th birthday, lit

It’s very ironic since I was actually at Hershey today.

Need to add one cred to the count. Lightning Racer counts as 2. 2 completely different tracks.

as someone who practically lives at hersheypark, ive waited for this for a long time (wildcats revenge >>>>>>> skyrush btw)

Buy or Sell: We will see another Zamperla Lightning coaster in the US/Canada before 2026

Aireforce one or Wildcats revenge? Which one did you think was better?

I am probably going to Hersheypark this weekend

I wanna see a comparison video on which was better AF1 or Wildcats Revenge.

*doesn't sit in the back left wing seat on skyrush*. "it's overated"

you did the long walk from the town also. I didnt realize how it the walk was

I rode wildcats revenge yesterday. I loved it. It's still not better than Skyrush. I also rode candymonium for the first time, loved the first drop and the powerful floater airtime think it's better than Nitro. Nice video.

Heading there soon. Is Fast Track worth it if you only have 1 day, a weekday nonetheless but I want to make sure I can do everything plus maybe some rerides

They should add 2 coasters. 1 should be a Vekoma Tilt Coaster thats themed to KitKat, and the 2nd should be a ride thats skyrush but WITHOUT THE KILLER LAPBARS AND VELOCICOASTER LAPBARS!

I just got to Canada’s Wonderland earlier today although I didn’t get on bat, silver streak, and height limits on snoopy 😢

Hey airtime thrills! Havent seen you on my recommended feed in a while, and im glad youre back there! Anyways, im going to kings island on a school trip in august, any tips to save as much time as possible and best plan to try and fit as many rides in as possible? I havent been there in like 7-8 years now, and want to expirence everything i can.

Completely agree on Skyrush. Ive tried every seat...morning...late rides...everything. Trying to understand why people absolutely love it and I just dont understand. Its average at best

Dude I went to Hershey park for the first time ever on July 2nd, looks like I just missed you lol

Really want to get coaster studios vs airtime Thrills: skyrush edition.

Did Mean Streak to Steel Vengeance qualify for worst in the state to best?

I went out there last week and was there for two days, closed both days. Absolutely shattered

I know all rmcs have to warm up but Wildcat it's especially true and I think this goes for any "new" rmc except for maybe Arie lol. But Wildcat after 6-7pm is literally like an entirely different coaster than from the 10-2 version. Wicked cyclone is still my #1 but I have Wildcat right behind it!

BRUUUH I COULDVE MET U AT HERSHYS PARK I LITERALLY WENT THE SAME DAY 😭😭😭

I dare you to take the 40min walk from the closest full time bus stop in Charlotte to Carowinds (it only has 2 peak busses with 2 round trips a day that pass it)

9:00 Great use of Never Enough from The Greatest Showman.

You can tell AirtimeThrills is a real one cuz he counts Lightning Racer as one credit.

Will there be one of these videos for Six Flags Darien Lake or Canada’s Wonderland? I’d have to guess no but I figure I ask.

I take it that you got in your steps that day.

We'll see if Skyrush still holds up for me in about a month. Currently my #2 overall, absolutely love that thing. For the level of ejector I experienced last year, I didn't mind the restraints at all. Especially considering that Railblazer, the only other coaster I've experienced that level of ejector on, has some very uncomfortable collars on it. I much prefer the open feeling of Skyrush's restraints personally.

Bro was so dedicated he got the Miccy-D coffee

Hi Chris. My son Alex and I rode WCR Tuesday and Wednesday. It actually has a violent transition near the end that threw us laterally with airtime and banged both of us. SkyRush again crushed our thighs with the restraints constantly getting tighter during the second half of the ride. It kills all the fun! Sophie has caught Alex with around 220 credits. I think WCR was #655 for me, so I'm still ahead of you, but not for long if you're going to Europe. I'm waiting for Primordial to open to finally visit Lagoon (the $800 flights from Detroit don't help) and the same story for Silverwood. I would then only have the Disney parks to visit to have hit every major or mid level park in America. There's a handful of tiny parks that I don't care if I hit. I can still get to 700 with only attending American and Canadian parks. Alex is 14 and I don't think my ex wife wants me to take him to Europe until he's 18. I'm 54 and am getting burned out by riding so many coasters in a short time. (500 from May 2018 - March 2023) The heat really effects both of us and neither of us fair skinned people can stand the sun...I know vampires that do better in the sun than me! lol It's getting super expensive to travel a lot and it's harder than ever to be an enthusiast. More power to you guys!

Not Amy mean mugging the camera at 7:33 🤣 . she wanted all that smoke! She's not scared of your fans 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

hey on 0:24 i see u went to Canada's Wonderland, because of that big mountain in the background, hope u had fun there

Agree about Hershey getting everything right with Wildcat's Revenge...although I kind of miss the honking brakes! I took a bunch of friends there on the 26th. We had issues with storms closing rides, but half their coasters still delivered fun. I think Skyrush would be better if it wasn't so compact.

wildcat warms up like crazy

I have yet to go to Hershey Park but I've always heard its amazing, however those crowds look pretty dreadful! 😂 I'll have to take my chances soon 🤷‍♂️

Why is it all the people who don't appreciate roller coasters get to ride the most.
