What happened to Turbulence?

I was on the Hersheypark website today and couldn't find the link to the Turbulence stuff. Has anybody been in Hersheypark lately? Have they torn down GIANT WHEEL yet? Pictures and/or info are appreciated. *** Edited 12/7/2004 3:20:13 AM UTC by Coasterjosh***
Wow. That's weird... It's usually right on the front page of the site. I even clicked rides, and it showed Storm Runner's announcements.

I've often wondered from time to time, how to write good poetry- and make it all... Work.

I wonder if the plan fell through..
I just used the search function on Hershey's website and Turbulence produced no results. Wierd.

2012 SFGAm Visits: 26 2012 Season Whizzer Rides: 84 X Flight Rides: 91

Giant Wheel is gone, though I can't remember where I saw the pics. There were pics on one of the sites of its dismanteling...

If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.

The press release isn't even on their sit anymore
It seems as if the plan did in fact fall through... hmmm....
Wouldn't it be a little late to decide to scrap a ride. Interactiverides had this on their site for months before hershey announced it saying that a north american park was getting it.
Who knows, maybe someone accidentally deleted *all* the files that involve Turbulence. Unlikely, but I don't think I've seen a park just "scrap" a ride after it's been announced and everything. Perhaps they're redesigning the website? Or renaming the ride? Who knows. The possibilities are endless...

Mayhaps Hershey is updating the Turbulence section?

They'd leave the old stuff up then. It's not like you have to take it down to update it.

Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."

Yea, its odd that EVERY mention of it is gone from the site. Maybe they are just renaming it or something, because Interactive Rides still has it listed on their site in the press releases.
Call me crazy, but methinks someone missed this:

That's from the town of Hershey I think, the park's site was indeed Turbulence-free.
Maybe...(wild idea here) they didn't quite scrap it...perhaps they're going to change the plans and get the taller version (and more complex layout) of the ride. Just a thought...

Haha no I'm not giving Patrick the finger

that is really strange.....any ideas?


still trying to think of a good signature...

No it's not. Go to www.hersheypa.com and see for yourself. It's the main page for the Hershey Entertainment and Resorts company. Why else do you think Dutch Wonderland gets its own spot on the front page? :)

Well, Im saying it's not the park's website, that would be here: http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/hersheypark/index.html
Well, I emailed the park so we should either see it reappear on the website or get a reply within 48 hrs...

If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Anyone ever consider that it could be something as simple as some sort of technical issue with the site that forced them to revert to a pre-Turbulence version temporarily?
