Coaster reviews

Launch

The launch is too much, I see why other might like that intensity, but for me it's just not enjoyable. The anxiety it causes me is just not worth it. I'm very excited for this ride to receive an LSM launch because I just can't handle the hydraulic one.

Harness Intensity Headbanging

It's... Not bad? It's enjoyable? It has some really janky transitions but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The vests really help. I'd ride it again :)

Inversions Location Intensity Dead spots

Lower-tier B&M invert. The setting is surreal and the inversions are whippy, but it's a tad short and it has some dead spots. I prefer Talon and Raptor, but I'd take this over a Batman clone. But I don't mean to sound negative, it is very fun.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Capacity

I love Fahrenheit, I think it's #2 in the park. The drop is very intense, it delivers a good gut punch and a pop of airtime to riders, the Norwegian loop delivers some crazy positive gs, the cobra roll is fun, although rattley, the corkscrews are two of the greatest inversions of all time in my opinion, and the final airtime hill is very strong. I have one complaint, Fahrenheit's capacity is DREADFUL. This line never dips under an hour, and on weekends, it can reach up to three hours. But aside from that, there's nothing wrong with this ride.

First Drop Comfort Dead spots

Candymonium's drop is very good and the first and third hills have some good floater, but the trim breaks kill most airtime on the second and fourth hills. This ride is best in the winter when they turn the trims off.

Fun Rattle Dead spots

Lightning Racer's middle section is fun, as you quickly traverse multiple low-to-the ground turns and hills, but the first third of the ride is dreadfully rough and the last third is slow and dull. Lightning Racer seriously needs some Titan Track.

Fun Rattle Discomfort Dead spots

Lightning Racer's middle section is fun, as you quickly traverse multiple low-to-the ground turns and hills, but the first third of the ride is dreadfully rough and the last third is slow and dull. Lightning Racer seriously needs some Titan Track.

Fun Smoothness

It's a fun spinning coaster, and the theming definitely adds to the experience. I just wish that Hershey had a more creative family coaster instead of just plopping down a clone of a ride that already exists in the same state.

Inversions Fun Intensity Launch

Hydraulic launches make me irrationally anxious, but the rest of the ride is great. The inversions are snappy and Storm Runner features a few good moments of airtime. It also tends to be more reliable than other Intamin Accelerators. The audio was great before it went out of sync with the launch, so I have to knock it a few points for that. Overall though, Storm Runner is a very solid Intamin. It's miles better than Dragster.

Smoothness Too short

It's alright. It's probably the weakest Arrow Mine Train in the US but they keep it running smooth.
