RideZone is pleased to present the
following photos of what is one of the most anticipated new roller coasters for
2005. Hydra The Revenge has risen up and destroyed Hercules and now
commands the hillside where the legendary wood coaster once reigned. Just as with the park's past two major coasters (Steel Force and Talon The Grip of Fear), Hydra is specially designed and quite different from any other coaster that shares the same floorless design. Hydra will take a cue from Talon and be a ground hugging ride which will provide a forced perspective on the visuals and speed. With the ride dipping below ground level at numerous points, it should be quite captivating and prove to be another success in a park where no less is expected. Look for Hydra The Revenge on the opening day of the 2005 season. Click on any photo for a larger view |
