BRTeller Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 A few weeks ago Tyler, and I went to Hershey for the day. Since the place was packed from head to toe, we rode some of the rides we normally never do. Also got some neat pictures from places we haven't yet. Hope everyone enjoys them! Hello Great Bear, to bad you were running one train, with a huge line. But you still are loved. Um, can't think of a comment, oh yeah, pretty! Hello Sooperdooperlooper. But its still Great Bears time to shine, and it sure is shining! I <3 Great Bear. One last picture, then on to some other coasters. Hi there Comet, your still pretty good. I lied, theirs more. Great Bear is haunted, notice the spirit bulb in the corner. Pretty. This is the last one, I promise. Well hi there. Your not over hyped, to me at least. Umm, wha... Oh yeah, PRETTY! Intamin, equals gold. A little closer, ironically Closer by NeYo is playing. (I'm serious) Boardwalk, would be fun if you could actually ride some things without a two hour wait. But your worth it, but not today. It was relax time. Cobra Roll, yum. Wildcat, I truly like this coaster a whole lot. It's been a favorite of mine for years. Two really great coasters, oh and that Vekoma thing peeking up. At least Hershey has a smoother one! Now the two favorite pictures of the day before we end. Awesome picture number one. Awesome picture number two. Thanks everyone for reading, its really been an awesome summer. But the excitement isn't over! I can guarantee everyone at least 4-5 more reports from various parks. So again, thanks everyone. I wouldn't take the time to write all these if it wasn't for all you guys and girls, and the continuous support and posts. -Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil jimmy norton Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Nice pictures. I think Hershey's Boomerang is the roughest I have been on. Granted, I've only been on three. Great White at Moorey's and Tidal Wave at Ocean City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Great pictures, especially of Great Bear! I can't wait to get to hershey in October. I also think Sidewinder is the smoothest Boomerang I have ridden so far. It was alot smoother than Sea Serpent at Morey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bspellx5 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ^I thought Sidewinder is the smoothest I've been on, I've been on 5. The only thing I don't like is those Arrow trains, they are the worst.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm in love with the Fahrenheit overalls. I also like those woodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiFan Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 "Hello Great Bear, to bad you were running one train, with a huge line. " I am really getting fed up with Hershey and their bad operations. I witnessed horrible operations a month ago and almost every TR I have read since then mentions some major ride running 1 train with a long line.

DBru Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Great photos! Love the one with Great Bear's train behind the trees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRTeller Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks everyone! Yeah Hershey has been running one train a lot on things recently. But normally at most its one ride, but I suppose it could still be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bspellx5 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That is bad though, Hersheypark has had good operations in the past, I've never been there when any of their coasters were not running maximum capacity, except for the Trailblazer once. Can the Comet run just one train?Ive never seen a transfer track, maybe its just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRTeller Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 When I go Trailblazer more times then not is running one train. But I'm not complaining, it isn't that bad. But after thinking about it, a lot of there rides were running one train, and thats why we only rode LR. Fahrenheit opened with one train for most of the day, Storm Runner later broke, and then started operating one train. Great Bear ran one train all day. I also think Wildcat had one train. So yeah it was an off day. We still had fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 1 train on Fahrenheit?! Wow and I thought 2 trains running and the single rider line closed was bad when I went (especially when some trains went out with as many as 2 empty seats!)

BRTeller Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think Fahrenheit always runs two trains, I've never seen the third run. They don't seem to run the single rider line a lot. Some times they load it fine, other times they never use it, and just let people stand there not filling empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bspellx5 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 ^Both times I was there this season it was running 3 trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRTeller Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thats really weird, the four, or five times I went when Fahrenheit was operating. I've only seen two, I just assumed it was a spare, lol. I also only saw two when it was testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yeah the only time I was there this year while Fahrenheit was open it was running three trains with a 35-40 minute wait. They were stacking all three trains almost every other run. The rest of the park had maximum capacity on the coasters except Lightning Racer.

DBru Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Two of the three days I was at Hershey, every coaster was running at maximum capacity. (The 3rd day, there was a total of 10 people in the park; 3 of which were Brandon, Tyler, and me. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Great Photos! I still can't wait to get my first ride on Fahrenheit. Hope to see you at the HPCrazy meet-up next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
