Fahrenheit, Hershey Park, Hershey, Pennsylvania
Hershey, the so-called "sweetest place on Earth" got edgier when they opened an inverted loop "lift" coaster-the Fahrenheit. This majestic ride swoops up riders to 121 feet above ground only to pitch them right back down in a gut wrenching, 97-degree negative drop, which is supposed to be the steepest drop in the U.S. . At the 121-foot crest, the forthcoming drop is at such a sharp incline that the only thing riders in the trains see is- nothing! No track at all. After you survive that first drop, there is more to come: a 107-foot inverted loop, an inverted corkscrew roll, cobra element, airborne inverted S-roll, another inverted corkscrew, a little airtime hill (stomach floating), a high-speed banked curve, another hill, and yet another high-speed banked curve to end it. All this action takes place in about 85 seconds- less time than it takes to polish off a Hershey bar.
