The easiest place to hide the compressor, would be with Tripple towers compressors. It is not very far, about 400 feet going around the food court on the creek side. By comparison, Finnigan's Flyer is about 200 feet from its air compressors.
I'm not a physics expert, but I can imagine there may be an issue with that kind of distance given the time it takes to deliver the necessary pressure volumes... And accounting for loss along the way.
 
New photos from today, July 14th. Pathway next to Looper's loop is closed off, from the bridge across the creek at SDL all the way to Coal Cracker/Oola Bowls. It does look like there is a big marker on the stage and flags nearby, so it's unclear what (if any) of the building will remain.

I wonder if they’re going to try and pull a BGW and put the giant air tanks inside that building to minimize noise impacts from the ride. Screamin Swings are notorious for being loud rides.

I'm in the middle of moving to a new house right now, but I've driven past Hersheypark twice this weekend. There are S&S air tanks hanging out behind Candymonium, in a makeshift staging area, and painted Twizzler red. Also what look to be concrete retaining wall pieces near the HE&R office parking lot. I'm guessing they will make an announcement by next weekend?
 
Hersheypark really wants that "Worst Name" award for the class of 2025, don't they? The name is atrocious.

Solid addition otherwise by the looks of things though, yeah? Terrain really helps take these things up a notch and the placement here has that covered. Certainly not the most visually appealing ride or area, but 🤷‍♂️, it's Hersheypark, it's probably fine.

Additional concept art below (warning: huge images).

Hershey’s ride naming and “theming” has it become one big advertisement for their low quality candy. It’s beyond stupid and worse than Six Flags, putting advertisement wraps on their rides.
 
I think this is a great addition, love to see more candy theming at this park. A gyro swing would have been more appropriate and more interesting, and would've made me book a trip to Hershey next year.

I don't mind the name. Generic amusement park hyperbole is the tradition

Gotta get rid of The Claw first.
