An incredible rollercoaster. Let's go through the entire layout. The hydraulic launch definitely lives up to the hype, and is just as insane as it looks from the ground. I'm always attracted by view from the tophat of Kissing Tower Hill, and the Hollow. The descent into the cobra loop, and then the flying snake dive. The flying snake dive is my favorite inversion to date, and gives surprising ejector. After than, it's a few turns, and a brake run. A near-perfect ride, only held back by its length. Just one or two more elements, and I firmly believe that Storm Runner would be the greatest on Earth. But sadly, it's not. Still a wild experience, and a must ride at Hershey, especially since the Intamin accelerators are an endangered rollercoaster, and don't have much time left.

The intensity of this ride is tricky. One hand, I love how fast it spins, and how fast the ride goes in a very compact layout. On the other hand, the ride is very confusing and disorienting after the first drop. This ride is also very short, only lasting about 50 seconds, including the lift hill. The ride is killed by the tiny plot of land it's on, which is what gives it the short length. Short, and sweet. It feels it's niche in the park as the main event, and there's nothing wrong with that when your park is this small.

Bad capacity, nice view on the way up, and a few drops that have you looking straight down. Trim brakes really kill this thing, and there's not much e...

Bad capacity, nice view on the way up, and a few drops that have you looking straight down. Trim brakes really kill this thing, and there's not much else to say about this ride.

I don't exactly know where to start with this rollercoaster. The loop is definitely more intense than you would expect, and the helix toward the end is fun. Other than that, the layout drags. After the loop it's basically a ride back to the station, with a helix. Still, it was my first looping coaster, so I can't hate on it too much.

Comet is almost 80 years old, and is still in excellent shape. Love those bunny hills towards the end of the ride. This ride always has a long line, and the buzzbars were done away with a few years ago, which i'm glad I got a ride with. Other than that, an excellent wooden coaster.

Just a fun ride in general. A spinning glow in the dark coaster. I don't remember much, other than an abundance of trim brakes, but those don't really...

Just a fun ride in general. A spinning glow in the dark coaster. I don't remember much, other than an abundance of trim brakes, but those don't really kill the ride. I will say that Laff Trakk has terrible capacity. That's mainly my only nack.

My first woodie, and my first favorite rollercoaster while I was still getting over my fear. Over the years re-riding it, every time it gets more rough, and painful. This rollercoaster is very important to me, and yet the only good thing about it now is it's short lines, and racing aspect. I will say that this thing doesn't stop at all until the brake run. Which is a pro, and yet a con, since it gets rougher the more the ride goes on.
