Fahrenheit- Coaster Review

By Anonymous -
Fahrenheit brings the heat! This one of a kind Intamin looping coaster located at Hersheypark brings riders up 121 feet, vertical. Then, riders crest the lift hill into a 97 degree Beyond Vertical drop. From there, riders travel through six inversions at a top speed of almost 60 mph. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.
Theming and Scenery
Fahrenheit doesn't really have a theme, but the ride area and surroundings is pretty nice looking. The station, which can be seen above, is very nice looking and fits in well with the natural trees which surround the area. The color scheme of the ride, while faded, also looks very nice.
Theming and Scenery: 6/10

Trains
Fahrenheit has Three 12 passenger trains. Each passenger is secured by a vest restraint. These vest restraints were added a few seasons ago, and replaced the hard restraints seen in the above photo. The ride in the front of the train is extremely smooth, where as the farther back you sit, the more of a rattle there is. All in all, they're pretty comfortable, but I wish the capacity was a little higher.
Trains: 8/10
Speed and Pacing
Fahrenheit has a top speed of 58 mph, and it keeps a good amount of its speed throughout the entire layout. The pacing on the ride is very good! The elements on the ride just come at you, and the airtime hill at the very end still provides good ejector air. I think the speed is just right, and the pacing is great!
Speed and Pacing: 8/10
Inversions
This coaster has six breathtaking inversions. These include a Norwegian Loop, a Cobra Roll, and two corkscrews. The Norwegian Loop, which consists of a dive loop followed by an Immelmann, is a very rare element, being featured on only 3 coasters! The inversions are all great, and taking at perfect speeds!
Inversions:9/10
All in All, Fahrenheit is a great ride, full of great inversions and forces. It is definitely in my "top 3" coasters at Hersheypark. This coaster is going to receive an overall score of 8/10

Take a virtual ride below!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
