I'm not a Fahrenheit superfan myself, but I cannot deny that this is an excellent coaster. While the steep drop, cobra roll, corkscrews, and last airtime hill are all excellent elements, the crown jewel for me is the unique Norwegian loop.
You go up to the top and get airtime if you're in the front, and twist into a nosedive downwards. The positive gs at the bottom are awesome. You twist out again at the top, and drop back down again to get airtime in the back rows. This is two inversions in one, has airtime, and is essentially a regular loop flipped on its head, so you get all of those positive g forces from a 360 loop plus two spirals and an extra drop. The element completes the ride and makes it somethin truly special and unique.
No trip to Hersheypark is complete without a ride on Fahrenheit. Though Skyrush and Candymonium are newer, taller, faster, and closer to the front, in my mind Fahrenheit will always be the signature coaster of...
Read moreThe ride itself is a pretty average roller coaster however, the line management is very poor. They let too many fast pass people go on at a time, and everyone else waiting in the normal line has to wait a crazy amount of time. Also 9 times out of 10, the ride runs with several empty seats. This makes the line move even slower. They should offer a separate single rider line so that the entire cart can be filled every time and make the line move faster. The last time I went I had to wait in line for 2.5+ hours to go on this ride, despite the Hershey Park app saying the line would be 60 minutes (which may have been true if the fast pass people did not get on the ride instantly). This is not the best ride at the park by far, so waiting for that amount of time is truly not worth it. I would only recommend going on this ride if the wait is less than 45 minutes. Overall, the staff need to do a better job at managing the line to make this ride...
Read moreWow. Where to start with this. First of all, it’s crazily underrated. The vertical lift sends chills down my spine every time, the 97 degree drop is one of the best I’ve experienced and one of the best in the park, the paint scheme is cool, the inversions are awesome, and there’s even a crazy pop of ejector airtime towards the end! Here’s the order of elements: 90 degree vertical lift, 97 degree beyond vertical drop, a rare Norwegian loop, cobra roll, two super whippy back to back corkscrews, banked turn, camelback, another banked turn, and into the brakes you to. It is a pretty short ride, but it packs a mighty punch. Intamin hit it out of the park with Fahrenheit. It packs in 6 inversions on 2700 feet of track. The total ride experience is 1:25, but it’s nonstop. It’s disorienting, it’s fun, it’s whippy, it’s fast paced, and it’s hot. Ride Fahrenheit and feel...
