Fahrenheit

   Fahrenheit. Some say it's a wierd name. People make fun of it saying that if it was in Europe, it would be called Celsius. Well, there is actually a reason for the name. The drop. 97 degrees. A whole 7 degrees beyond vertical.
   Upon entering the station, you are greeted by small 3 car trains. You pull down the comfortable shoulder restraints and get ready. After a right turn out of the station. You get the chance to look up at the lift hill you are about to experience. A 90 degree lift that takes you up 121 feet. And that's just part of the thrill. Once you crest the lift hill, you can't see the bottom of the drop. And you go down a large drop. And straight into the Norwegian Loop. An awkward inversion that was originally found on Speed Monster at Tusenfryd. After that, you enter a forceful cobra roll. Then into the double corkscrews. Through an over bank. Over an airtime hill that really delivers. And into the brake run. Be sure to see your face of sheer terror in your picture. And run to the entrance for another ride.
   I really like this ride. I personally think it is overlooked by coaster critics. I give it a solid 8.5. Head to Hersheypark now to experience a ride you will never forget!
