Who's this nerd speaking?

[@bluetoothenjoyer]

COASTER BOT some British boi I heard he has a toaster channel

[@epochemu3505]

I wonder

[@cslkenny]

some weirdo who drives around in a parrot...

[@StamfordBridge]

COASTER BOT I bet he has Harry legs.

[@epictomboygamer]

idk I think he likes a biscuit called chocolate digestives?

[@LucasBradley]

I'm 6'0" and I have t h i c c thighs, but I somehow still manage to ride this at least five times each time I go to Hershey.

[@RollerCoasterPsycho]

Lucas Bradley same i used to weigh a lot 267(lost 80lbs) but it wasnt that bad, now that i lost weight i feel it lol

[@EndiXIV]

Maybe your thighs cushion it?

[@Foxy02016]

Lucas Bradley I’ve don’t ride many coasters but I think y’all are taking it to the extreme

[@rubyelizabeth7714]

Lucas Bradley it really just depends, some people (like me, sadly) are at that awkward point between clicks and the attendant pushes it one more time.

[@Soonjai]

I still need a "How to Ride a Vekoma SLC without loosing your Head" guide. That would be highly benefitial to people all around the world.

[@baggy5737]

There is no way to ride a Vekoma SLC without losing your head

[@davidperry4013]

Ride Great Norester at Morey’s Piers. The owners of that pier park and vekoma worked together and turned the worst invert to the best invert.

[@estop1332]

God I love Coaster Studios. And I like Coaster Bot, too. :)

[@coasterbot]

Only like for me? Disappointed ;)

[@estop1332]

COASTER BOT Well the comment would have sounded weird.

[@JaredParker23]

If Hershey Park changes the restraints... 🙏🙏🙏 (god music)

[@StamfordBridge]

Six Flags King Seriously.With non-sadistic restraints this coaster would be perfection.

[@randomtraveler9854]

They use a softer material than when it opened and release them as soon as you stop. It's not near as painful as it was.

[@dethklokemployee]

then you wouldnt feel like your going to die.... no point in not feeling alive for the last 6 seconds of your life ..

[@DevinSeeleyDevilO]

at least hershey park lifts your restraints on the brake run so its not very painful

[@davidperry4013]

Not only a more economically shaped lap bar that feels slightly padded but also add stiffer check valve springs into the hydraulic restraint cylinders to prevent getting your thighs crushed as well for a more comfortable and scarier ride experience.

[@thomaskelly5183]

I actually liked the restraints. I’m 6’2” so my legs were numb but the feeling of being throw out of your seats I’ve never experienced (I was on the side).

[@kappapride1232]

Make more of these please, cause I love both of your channels

[@coasterbot]

That's awesome to hear, I do hope there's more coming in the future too! :)

I love this ride as much as i305! Keep up the good work!

[@viperdmk1483]

Fact: skyrush is my fav coaster ever from the drops to the airtime I love it

[@themeparkcentral3059]

Plz do more of this, Taylor!

[@rebeccadumaine9112]

Amazing, Coaster Bot and Taylor. Best "How to Ride..." yet, in my opinion.

[@danielworleyyy]

I'm really excited for this coaster when I get the chance to ride it. The airtime can't be worse than my first time on Lightning Rod when it was going way above 73 mph.

[@matthewmiller7207]

I got to ride this beast back in July. This was my third hyper (second from Intamin). But I can see why they call it Thighcrush. If I didn't pass up Laff Trak, Skyrush would've been my 30th coaster credit!

[@pacoasters3651]

Great video! In all actuallity the best way Ive found to ride is by setting the lap bar just above your leg. Now when the attendant checks the restraint its about 50/50 whever they staple you or not, and if they dont your in for a treat!

[@StamfordBridge]

IG Coasters The best way for me (and a lot of people) is to scoot forward, so that your back is barely touching the seat and so that the restraints come down as close as possible to your hips.

[@TheRealMtnDewMike]

Thanks for the heart Taylor it means so much I love jour channel

Just ride the ride

[@deoxysspeed5011]

This is great I’ve always wanted to know how to ride Skyrush

[@kylefronheiser7197]

6’1” and this is still my favorite

[@Xolivas1]

Hahaha. This was pure gold. Made me chuckle a bit. 😂

[@jamesliu7970]

Thighcrush

[@yugiohguy]

Is there a noticeable difference in airtime between the inner seats and the winged seats?

[@leoallentoff]

Should've gotten a B&M

[@Relly2pro]

Leo Allentoff welp they just made one for HersheyPark called candymonium

[@leoallentoff]

darrell washington yeah lmao

[@Relly2pro]

Leo Allentoff but I am just now seeing you posted this two years ago😭

[@Sir_Jake15]

This comment aged like a fine wine. 👍

[@meddoxsocool]

As a person going to this video for actual info this was very helpful! 😂

[@makariarhodes3000]

Perfection!

[@jbsthecoolest]

I love these videos 😂

[@coasterbot]

Awesome!

[@jbsthecoolest]

COASTER BOT I laughed at everything and my mom's slightly gp and doesn't remember riding this with me when we went and all she said was "did I hear them say something about the Intimidator" 😂

[@Redfoot138]

I haven't ridden this since 2014. I should be good to go again!

[@luc6284]

Thanks for uploading this! I hope I can ride Skyrush next year when I come to the US (hopefully) and well... my legs... well... at least you can skip lines because you're disabled... I guess...

[@andressantiago4785]

Best how to ride video

[@dawgswithavlog]

I am going to Hershey this summer and so excited to go on this but this just made me nervous 😂

[@rogerbordine7]

Don't listen to these people. They clearly have some messed up legs or torsos or something. I've ridden skyrush a lot and it doesn't hurt my legs at all. It must be the awkward way these people position themselves in the seats or something. Just try to act big or something so that when they check the restraints, you have more room to move around.

[@ciearakimberly523]

I love this omg

[@Kickfeeb321]

Rode this today in the back wing seat, and I have never felt anything that painful. Was not enjoyable in the rear left wing seat. New restraints would make a hell of a difference.

[@planetguyalex]

Here’s my opinion on the restraints: I put socks in my pockets which actually helped 😂 5/6 times I rode was in a middle seat, and it wasn’t that bad. Front wing tho....nope. The restraint didn’t lock correctly with the socks. But overall it’s my number 1 coaster.

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

This is one of the better ones.

[@fpgmatthew]

Yea I rode this a year ago, and I’ve never felt more scared for my life. Right at the bottom of the first drop, my top half got thrown forward and I legit thought I was coming out of the ride. I put my hands up on everything, but had to actually grab on because I was t prepared Is that’s how it’s meant to be?

[@bugmonster1]

FPG Matthew yes

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Yep, my mother had the same thing happen, my guess is you were right wing seat in the back.

[@darkzzoid4636]

if i go to hershy dis year, i will ride this

[@madelinegarber7860]

I think so. Sounds like really strong ejector/inertia.

[@sophiesblog0489]

Yes the leg this was halarious!

[@jessnicole12]

2:12 WAIT THAT GIRL IN THE GREEN SHIRT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ONE OF MY FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL AND WE LIVE PRETTY CLOSE TO HERSHEY PARK SO IT ACTUALLY COULD BE HOLY CRAP WTH

[@graysonvouga814]

i rode sky rush twice 2 years after it opened and i still cant walk the same to this day. any lap bar restaints give me ptsd back to my 2 rides on skyrush.

[@intwaves9269]

Step 1: Don't This has been coaster tips.

[@VestedUTuber]

That's basically how to ride a Vekoma SLC.

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

lol that dab was funny at 0:40

[@andrewyates1789]

the leg stuff was filmed at KD if front of the rock shop

[@kevkev9723]

I’m going next Sunday so this is handy

[@wertyfrom4237]

It never hurt my legs, but man that airtime was amazing

[@WitherslayR]

Idk it's my #2 rn I love it

[@armyfallatthediscotwentyon5019]

I was scared to ride this because of my legs. I'm heavy so I thought it would hurt. The only time it hurt was when they closed them. During the ride it was fine. Also the air time is amazing

[@penisballs4346]

I’m going to Hershey pretty soon and I’m pretty scared got any tips for this ride

[@wczinx1487]

I got stuck on the ride it killed my legs

[@angelstrunk1197]

@@wczinx1487 I feel so sorry for you rn

[@masta6726]

Yo you still alive?

[@PDBMH_]

The part we’re he said to raise your hands instead of trying to lift the restraints is relatable

[@drewschannel9767]

Is it possible to fall out of this ride?

[@PhonixzGaming75]

Ok like for real is there any way I can ride this without getting leg pain? I'm going to Hershey next year and I want to ride this.

[@tolatalyrealvillan139]

YE

[@weefslider]

Bring two small pillows and stuff them into your pants beforehand.

[@randomtraveler9854]

It's not as painful as people claim. Yes it's tight but you're not going to using a cane for the next two weeks. Swing your legs after they pop the bar if it hurts.

[@ARIA221]

I remember going on this with my mom a few years ago. I liked it but I do get the legs dying on it lmao my mom HATED it tho xD and I showed this to her a while back lmao

[@j4kez]

I needed this😂 But what I want to know, is how to ride without getting a headache

[@reid1139]

How to ride the ninja at six flags St. Louis. I rode it a long time ago when I knew nothing about coasters, and I got a bad headache.

[@joshdorazio7084]

Do how to ride the smiler

[@owensimmons3882]

Do more parody’s plz Taylor even though their hard to make they are the best things on your channel

[@alexguerin9472]

Do one of these for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit!

[@jtbackup4553]

Alex Guerin Yess. That’s my favorite coaster ever.

[@StamfordBridge]

I’m with you. One of the greatest coasters I’ve ever ridden, but also the most painful. And no, those two things are not related.

[@DHDZ0304]

What if im 6ft and 200lbs, does that cancel out the pain

[@who-sr9nn]

i think so yeah

[@jacobg8640]

Ha. Being only a 5'6 guy has its advantages I guess. When I went there it rained for a few hours and everyone left the park. My cousin and I were the second group in line so we got the front row very quickly. Say I deserved it considering the last time before then I went to Hershey was my 8th grade school trip which went there literally ONE day before Skyrush opened. They even told us it was opening the day we went, but they lied. They were only testing.

[@Bryan_Beast04]

lol I can't even go on it I don't live near there but if I go on sky rush one day I can use this for help

[@alyssa6815]

I’ve never had a problem with this ride and my legs haha

[@coastersavage64]

This needs a coaster parody like if you agree

[@joshuaa8355]

is the crushing really thaaaaat bad?

[@lolitshaley4327]

Joshy Bubble yes.

[@themeparkjunkies8471]

When you plan a trip around riding skyrush and el toro only to learn they r closed for the season..... i wish i could lose my legs riding it

[@bluewaveproductions4017]

1:51 it says hooray

[@imkyle5460]

When I was 14 I rode this it was actually about 5 months and it’s so painful I almost cried

[@benjaminraifer6735]

I love step nine.

Hmm, great advice

[@lucasippolito105]

How to survive a vecoma slc

[@timtakacs1341]

Sooooo true

[@p-atches]

HAHAHA definitrly the Thigh Crusher. Everytime I ride this it feels like the restraints are pressing so hard that a mush of leg muscle and fat spews out of the sides while the restraint keeps pressing until it reaches bone

[@TheEpic22]

“Step 1: if you’re above 6ft” Welp I’m out. See y’all on comet

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Intamin, pls. We have B&M Stand ups to crush our thighs, and new trains on some vekoma slc's to break our legs. I really hope those poor people at Energylandia won't have to deal with this trains. Also Hershey get Wildcat RMCED, like on the radar/waiting list, it'd be great addition!

[@LCucu]

OneAndOnlySound Intamin has improved their skyrush-style restraints and has implemented them on many rides. Just to name a few - flying aces, taron, soaring with dragon, red force, and probably the energylandia hyper

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

It really is not the bad, want to know what real thigh pain is like? Go to Cedar Point, ride Magnum in the third row and staple yourself has much as possible, you will literally come off with bruises on your thighs!

[@oneandonlysound3453]

it's not that bad. on the other hand, bringing up magnum isn't going to help here i'm afraid. It's no better or worse, it really can use some new trains like B&M made for an overseas coaster. With skyrush it's kind of ridicoulous someone in 2012 (Skyrush) versus 1989 (Magnum) couldn't make more comfortable restraints, prototype design or not.

[@wynonaa.980]

i agree with you on wildcat. it’s rough. VERY rough.

[@lazor222]

This ride would be pretty amazing if it weren't for those restraints... I don't get why they can't lock into place after being checked to stop them from tightening so much.

[@TheRealMtnDewMike]

Very funny video

[@kkaiser.8521]

My dad got a Charlie horse after riding skyrush. I don't ride it because every time something happens it would kill my legs

[@camelsquad6741]

Yay Boy!

[@landonberg5272]

Like the new intro

[@CoasterStudios]

Landon Berg it's actually not new, I've used it in a few other survival guides. I only use it for these videos, but i'm glad you like it!

[@VestedUTuber]

Honestly, if you're going to go on a trip to Japan you should at least make sure you're not going to starve over it.
