Coaster reviews

Airtimes Rattle

Wild Mouse has some good laterals, which is to be expected, but unlike the others, it's very light on the trims and actually has one or two moments of weak floater, so that's nice. Unfortunately, it's also pretty rough. I'm hoping Hersheypark will replace this with a custom family coaster someday.

Smoothness Too short

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

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.

Airtimes Layout Rattle Lap Bar

This ride is best when it's running slow. Past that, it's just too painful to enjoy. During early entry, I'll ride this in the front row middle seats and have a great time. But as it warms up it gets rougher and rougher and it's just too much. I think this is the only ride that I wish had trim breaks.

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.

Theming Intensity Smoothness Capacity

This ride is AWESOME! Not only is the ride very smooth for a Vekoma Boomerang, it's CRAZY intense, and the theming and soundtrack add this extra layer of excitement that just gets you hyped to ride. Sidewinder was fun, but I am so glad they rethemed it and updated the chassis, it's just so much better now.

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.

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.

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.
