Download The Storm Runner Video (Hersheypark)
In 2004 Hersheypark added the third “rocket coaster” installation in the world. Their offering is known as Storm Runner. It features a slightly more complex layout than the previous two built and includes inversions. Having the luck to have ridden all three rocket coasters, I feel I can say with little hesitation that Storm Runner was far and away my favorite.
Short but sweet – leaving you wanting more. A launch that jets you from 0 to 72 mph in 2 seconds. A great top hat with a vertical drop. A funky looking “cobra loop”. A barrel roll/snake dive combo that delivers solid airtime beginning to end. A funky “s” shaped double-up ending that’s banked for maximum thrill. The ride is good fun from start to finish. Check out the video and capture just an ounce of that fun!
