Fahrenheit Review - Hersheypark (Hershey, Pennsylvania) Intamin Amusement Rides

- It was 2008, and vertical lift roller coasters were still relatively uncommon in the United States. Gerstlauer was starting to heat things up with their Eurofighter models. European parks were starting to build these attractions at a rapid pace, while the US was only dipping their toes in the water with Mystery Mine and SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge. Well, along comes @intaminofficial . Spotting the potential with these smaller, compact inversion filled coasters, they decide to construct Fahrenheit, their first and only vertical lift roller coaster.

Kudos to fahrenheit for being a breakneck intensity machine. I thought it was just as intense as Maverick on my last ride
Orange and Blue are polar opposite colors, and I feel like whenever a ride uses opposite colors, it looks awesome somehow
that's color theory for you
I think it’s called complementary colors.
That’s probably why appollos chariot and dueling dragons (in China) look so good
@@kylebetz9684 I don't personally like how Dueling Dragons look, but Apollo's Chariot for sure does.
It’s super loud and you can’t miss it anywhere at the park
You KNOW it’s Fahrenheit lol and Skyrush also
This is short but sweet ride, Hershey is lucky to have they’re two hypers a good invert and this. If they got top tier woodie they would be elite.
In my opinion comet is better then great bear
And Storm Runner just cries in the corner
@@thecyclonehunter6244 storm runner is goddamn awesome
@@johns.774 Ikr
@@thecyclonehunter6244 i wish I could of gotten on that ride, but it was closed in September my only visit. I got excited actually when I saw the top hat thinking it was part of Fahrenheit. Kinda disappointing but still it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of this ride.
Agree with everything you’ve talked about here. What struck me the most on the ride were the headchoppers tho, particularly with the supports during the corkscrews, and the ridiculous one under the break run with the airtime hill. For sure caught me off guard
I love this ride! Especially the wide array of forces you get! Definitely unique
I love this coaster! I agree with you on the vertical lift being scary, I was terrified at the lift of Dare Devil Dive at SFOG.
Great review! Love this coaster!!! Keep up the great work! - Brandon
Thanks!
Glad to hear I'm not the only enthusiast who thinks vertical lifts are awesome whenever they're implemented
They’re sick!
I love your videos why aren’t you more popular
Help me get more popular 😁
I didn’t really have any expectations for this during my first visit to HP this summer and I had an absolute blast riding it, got 6 rides in, HP is amazing.
I thought at first that this might be my favorite in the park, as it impressed me a lot, while Skyrush's rattle bothered me, but in the end, I did like Skyrush a little more. And without being able to ride Storm Runner, Fahrenheit is solidly in 2nd place for me. If there was any rattle on my rides, it didn't bother me at all. I love the mix of hangtime, inversions, and 2 great airtime moments. Crowds were light when I was there, and I actually rode this more than anything else. That Norwegian Loop is kind of like a pretzel loop on a flyer, just on a sit-down train, and getting flipped into it and flipped out of it.
I hope Intamin makes more of these unique coasters, it is like a mix of a Gerstlauer Eurofighter and an Intamin blitz.
A clone is actually being built right now called Barracuda. I believe it's in China!
Fahrenheit has one of, if not the best ops crew at Hershey. It may not hit 850 and hour but I would say it's close. They constantly send trains like pros. The small trains do effect the line. But the line is always moving. It's one of the most popular coasters there by the GP and the fact that its beside the entrance of the waterpark keeps this line long. Great review! Just wanted to throw this out there cause I'm there every week. It's also the best coaster to get footage of lol. It's so easy to get many angles and trains are constantly going through the layout
It's a great ride to film 👍
You really hit the nail on the head with this review, awesome video! Fahrenheit is a solid ride! Hersheypark being my homepark, I slept on this ride until this year. I guess cause Storm Runner always outshined Fahrenheit for me. But with Storm Runner being closed this year, I grew to love Fahrenheit so much and appreciate what it has to offer!
I get very nervous on vertical lifts for the same reasons too! 🙈 I also wish i I got to experience this with the new restraints!
I rode this the summer it opened! Sick and smooth 🤘🏻 that loop is so unique
I wish Intamin had stuck with this model, it would’ve been a great way to expand their market to smaller parks looking to provide a premium experience for their guests. Nowadays there’s definitely more saturation in the compact coaster market with Gerstlauer, Premier, and now RMC, so I doubt they’ve got the motivation to reintroduce this model, especially considering their recent success with the much bigger and more profitable multilaunch coasters. Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
yeah, 850 riders per hour would require to send 71 full trains in an hour. Getting 40 trains out is possible with perfect dispatches which is only 480 riders per hour. You are right, 850 is way too optimistic.
Great bear is now my favorite hershey park rollercoaster.
It sounds like if maverick and a B&M flourless had baby
The first time I rode this back in 2016 I wasn’t really a fan but I rode it this year and man my opinion has changed
It's been operating a lot better this year
This Intamin “looper” grew on me so much.🥃
Intamin is actually a new Vertical Lift Coaster! It’s called Barracuda and it’s at some park in China. But Fahrenheit is no longer a one of a kind!
Wooo been hyped for this one
Ocean Paradise in China is actually getting their own Intamin vertical lift coaster that sounds similar to Fahrenheit- rcdb.com/15142.htm
Great review! I agree with a lot of what you said. Especially with regards to the capacity. This ride always runs 3 trains, but it is always stacking them so there's no way it hits the theoretical capacity.
Thanks for sharing! I heard something about this but couldn't find it on RCDB.
Looks like one of the best intamins in the US
It’s definitely solid. Better than skyrush and maybe even storm runner. Haven’t ridden candymonium yet tho
I'm sure the people you talked about would disagree with me on this as I prefer Comet to Farenheight. That's not to say it's bad but it didn't do much for me and a buzbar airtime packed woodie beats standard looping coasters for me. However I am dpeaking from the perspective of having ridden it on a school trip many years ago where the purpose of the trip had nothing to do with coasters and I just happened to be an enthusiast in the group. Farenheight was the clear GP favourite. It's not the longest I've ever waited for a coaster (that would be the 6+ hrs I waited for Steel Vengence opening weekend) but it's definately in the top 3. And it was by far the most undeserving of the line (2 being Maverick on my first visit to CP, and I already discussed the longest I've waited)
On a rainy day Comet is the least fun woodie in the park. It’s much older but the two GCI’s in the park do much better maintaining speed despite a soggy track. I think that’s why I wasn’t getting much airtime, but I’m also starting to the think the buzz bars are there because more security just isn’t necessary.
@@HiCaballo Somehow I was getting standing airtime when I last rode it in May 2015 after a rainstorm. I'm seriously tempted to put Comet in the park's top 3 as of when I was last there (probably top 4 when I go in a few weeks for Candymonium, I absolutely love any type of airtime you can give me). I wish Comet was open for Candylane instead of Wildcat so I could see it it's as good as I remember it being. If Skyliner, which I rode earlier this year, a similar buzbar woodie that was originally put where it currently is to compete with Comet (Seriously, look up the failed Boyertown USA) than it probably is as good as I remember.
Fahrenheit is my favorite. I haven't ridden Skyrush or Candymonium yet.
The corkscrews are crazy intense
I went on it last month. It's a great ride and it's in my top 25 (I have 75 credits) It's in the Hershey top 5 but Candymonium, Skyrush, and Storm Runner are easily better than this. I didn't notice that much of a rattle on the cobra roll, I thought it was ok. I never did it with the hard over the shoulder restraints so I have never gotten any headbanging during this ride.
there is actually another intamin vertical lift coaster opening up in china
Yeah, I had issues locating it on RCDB, but its there now.
@@XscreamThrills yup
Loved this review! Fahrenheit gets way too much hate IMO. The positive Gs on those corkscrews and intense ejector on that airtime hill afterward is one of my favorite series of elements on any coaster
I didn’t think much of this ride before my visit to Hershey, but when I saw this running in person I was highly anticipating that final airtime hill. I was not disappointed with it either.
My thoughts:
Had high expectations for this ride, but I didn’t really like that much at all. The drop and the airtime hill before the brake run were really good, but the ride had such a bad rattle for me, even in the front row. I had a smoother ride on wicked twister, that’s how shaky fahrenheit was. I wasn’t impressed with the layout or any of the inversions tbh
I can see how the rattle would ruin your experience
Intamin are actually building 2 more vertical lift coasters, one at Ocean Paradise in China and one at Nickelodeon Universe Chongqing
They haven't showed up on RCDB
@@XscreamThrills The One at Ocean Paradise definitely is there
The one in Chongqing hasn’t started construction yet but track is definitely on site
Thanks, someone sent me the link
"mostly prelevant" 6:03 lol
My feelings are mixed on this ride. I'm not a fan of the pacing and it's not rough, but it's very shaky in some parts. But I am a fan of the first drop and that airtime hill near the end.
This is listed as their only vertical lift coaster as zac spins aren't completely vertical lifts because they are always curved.
I’m not a fan that this coaster vibrates a lot especially on that cobra roll I still love it though
The cobra rolls are actually one of my favorite inversions, even though they’re the weak part, but it’s pretty fun
Even though I haven’t been to this park, i think that this ride has a little rattle
Honestly I don’t mind cobra rolls. I actually like them. They often offer great whip and even positives sometimes. Plus it’s better than a normal banked turn as a turnaround. I don’t remember the cobra roll being rough at all
That camelback ejected me harder that the first hill on skyrush in the front
Always wondered why there weren't more Norwegian Loops in the world. How were the G's on the bottom?
I don't recall the g forces being super intense at the bottom of this element
The corkscrews definitely pull the most Gs out of all the elements on this ride
So I have a question for you guys. I am going to hersheypark in a couple of weeks, but I am a bit scared of coasters. Are there any good coasters that aren't that thrilling?
Trailblazer, Wild mouse, Laff Trakk, Cocoa Cruiser should be good to go 👍
@@XscreamThrills I was thinking around lightning racer max. Thanks for your input
Literally every ride at Hershey (except Fahrenheit, storm runner, skyrush, great bear, and candymonium) are all family friendly. Except maybe sidewinder. Lightning racer is family friendly, but forceless (and it barely ever not racing so that’s why it’s so good), wildcat is rough but family friendly, sooperdooperlooper isn’t a major thrill coaster and is a great first looping coaster. Great beat is pretty forceful but not with the stomach dropping feeling type thing, but rather high gs at points. Storm runner, skyrush, and Fahrenheit all have big steep drops, so I wouldn’t recommend them for u. Basically Hershey if geared more towards families on most of their rides, but some are very intense, mainly the intamins.
@@CoasterHorizons thanks
@@frankiemegandegrand460 no problem! What’s the biggest coaster you’ve been on? Have you ever experienced an inversion?
Isn’t China getting one of these soon, it’s a little weird it’s come so late but it looks really solid
I haven't seen any pictures nor was I able to find it on RCDB.
@@XscreamThrills This video got me to look into it a bit more, www.themeparx.com/hainan-ocean-paradise/?fbclid=IwAR2PqxK74JCiMxfOlMez4axK6fUCOcTcB_M_qAB0Zb0Z_ZK7wWVUpsztHOo. It’s at one of those several Chinese parks under construction, looks like a nice improvement over Fahrenheit IMO
I was going to go on this ride but stupid COVID
Yeah it's such a buzzkill
Celcius
1:56 Kärnan would like to have a word with you
Lol
hey in the 100th comment!
🎉
It's better than Great Bear. Change my mind
Your opinion 😉
And intimin shortened the seat belt so i can't currently ride
I did notice the belt was considerably shorter
@@XscreamThrills how much shorter do you think it is now campfires to the old seat belt length ....the ride op supervisor told me that intimin made them shorter
I have no idea 🤷♂️
