The park’s tallest and fastest coaster is not only their best creation, but could quite possibly be one of the best steel roller coasters on the planet right now. However, Hersheypark has finally hit their first bulls-eye with Skyrush. In general, Hersheypark doesn’t have any bad coasters, but none of them have been home runs that are constantly debated as the best in any ranking system. Fahrenheit is pretty unique with its vertical chain lift, 97-degree drop, and compact, intense layout, but is generally superseded by Maverick. Storm Runner is a great launching coaster, and incredibly reliable, but can’t hold a candle to the likes of stratacoasters Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka. Great Bear is a fine B&M inverted coaster, but pales in comparison to nearby Dorney Park’s Talon, and doesn’t come close to world-class custom layout inverts like Montu, Alpengeist, Raptor, and Afterburn. In fact, aside from Lightning Racer, Hersheypark has rarely had one of their roller coasters appear on most polls and best coaster lists. However, the park’s compact design and limited open space has always resulted in coaster designs that were solid, but rarely best of their kind. From the historic Comet and its double-down-and-back to Fahrenheit and its beyond-vertical first drop, Hersheypark has just about every kind of roller coaster an aficionado could ever want. įor years, Hersheypark, has been building a world-class and diverse collection of roller coasters.Russell Meyer Hersheypark has a 'destination' coaster in Skyrush June 21, 2012, 11:03 AM
