Storm Runner

Hershey, Pennsylvania is known as the Sweetest Place on Earth. They have a totally sweet amusement park too. Hershey Park. They have some awesome roller coasters. But, the have a very sweet Intamin Accelerator dubbed Storm Runner. This one isn't as tall as Kingda Ka or Top Thrill Dragster, but this one has a feature that the other two don't. Inversions. That's right, inversions. 3 of them in fact.

    You start with a small s turn out of the duel loading station. On to the launch track. This one is very short. Unlike it's larger counter parts. Then, you launch from 0 to 72 miles per hour in less than 2 seconds. Reaching a height of 150 feet and freefalling 180 feet. Where at the bottom you reach a top speed of 75 miles per hour. In to the first inversion. An immelman that is 135 feet. Now, you go into the zero g roll. Finally, the ride holy grail. The flying snake dive. A corkscrew that dives toward the water. Under the monorail and into a wierd twist thing. And into the brake run. I really love this ride. I give it a nice 9.5 out of 10. It truly is great.
