Inversions

Honestly, this ride gets so much more hate than it deserves. I rode this ride this past weekend and it was running beautifully and it was never that bad in the years previous. I find standing slightly on your tip-toes makes the ride a lot better. I did not get any headbanging, only part I kind of had to brace I guess was the corkscrew, which has a hell of a whip. The turn around after the loop has a very fun spot to jump at and the helix is surprisingly good, one of my favorites! The seats this 2018 season seem to have become easier to move up and down, which was probably my biggest complaint before.

Inversions Launch Ejectors Trop court

Storm Runner is absolutely explosive. The launch is, well, explosive. The airtime into the top hat is huge, and the immelmann is forceful. The flying snake dive is the best part of the ride, airtime into a double barrel roll, and the second roll dives down mid roll. Add some twisty s-bends at the end, and the ride is over. Obviously it's very short, but man is it so sweet.

Fahrenheit is an odd coaster, but a fun one and a Hersheypark signature! The first drop and Norwegian loop are awesome, with airtime and positive forces in action. Unfortunately it rattles through the cobra roll, but is smooth for the rest of the ride. The two corkscrews are fun, and the airtime hill at the end is a fun surprise! A fun coaster that fits the park well.

Great Bear is an incredibly underrated masterpiece invert. It has an awesome, forceful helix before even the first drop. The loop, immelmann, and especially the zero-g are super forceful, whippy, and in quick succession. There's an airtime moment into a fast turn over the creek that I didn't expect! Then after a speedy straight past the creek, we twist and turn forcefully upwards, and corkscrew the opposite direction very forcefully, and then meander into the brakes. It's oddly paced, sure, but so forceful and whippy. And it's awesome looking, super engineered support structure is marvellous to look at, and even creates footchoppers! The setting itself is marvelous, it adds to the ride tremendously. A really fantastic invert that I find is greatly under-appreciated.

First Drop Situation Intensité

I rode this bad boy on its 18th birthday! It's the only wooden coaster I've ridden to focus solely on lateral and positive forces, and succeed. The laterals on the turn between the two lift hills are huge! The furst two drops are among my favorite wooden coaster drops ever, and the rise after the first drop gives huge airtime. The double rose bowl helix is the highlight; Enormous positive forces on a wooden coaster, with laterals between the two dives? Yes please! The ride finishes with a tunnel and some airtime hills, and is just a blast to ride.

Airtimes Situation Intensité

It's not the most forceful hyper in terms of airtime. The airtime is pretty solid throughout, but nothing mind blowing. What is mind blowing is the helix, which is absolutely enormous and gives a huge combination of positive and lateral forces. For that helix alone makes this ride kick ass.

Inversions Situation Fun

It's not forceful or whippy at all, but it has hangtime, airtime, and cool shaped inversions that are really cool to go through. The coaster is gorgeous, and the situation on a hill contributes to how fun it is.

Airtimes Fun

A fun, classic little wooden coaster. Such a good time to ride.

Airtimes Inversions Situation Baffes Trop court

A short little ride with an airtime hill and some loops. There's headbanging on the corkscrews, but otherwise it's a fun ride that I hope sticks around, especially because of how awesome the corkscrew midway is.

Inversions Intensité Layout Baffes

This stand-up coaster meant layout works beautifully for a floorless coaster. The first drop, three loop varieties, twisted airtime hill, and twisty second half are so unique from any other floorless, and more physically intense than any other either. The downsides are that it's short with less inversions, and headbanging kicks in after the inclined loop. I was able to move my head forward to avoid it, but others may not. But since I was able to negate the roughness, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
