About Fahrenheit

The park's 11th coaster is a vertical lift inverted coaster that drops riders at a 97-degree angle, after an initial 90-degree, 121-foot lift. The Intaride coaster also features an inverted corkscrew roll and an airborne inverted S roll. -- Last edited by James Rao

Best steel coaster in the park. Super smooth. Nice 97 Degree drop. Longest line in the park when I was there. Best to ride when the Park opens. Terrific open air cars. - Joe Schwartz

It looks slow while watching, but is actually quickly paced when riding. FUN!!! - Ian Kampert

Amazing. In my top 3 coasters of all time. - Danny Melillo

Not too bad considering what they had to work with. This coaster packs a lot of punch into a very little space. The lift is pretty interesting as you lie virtually on your back while you're whisked up the first hill. The 97-degree drop is best experience in the back row as the train flings you out of your seat down the first hill. The Norwegian Loop is not as impressive as I expected. The g's at the bottom of the loop are good, but the intensity coming in and out of the element is less than impressive. The cobra roll was strangely rough and felt pretty slow. The element probably should have been designed tight, especially since the trains are so short (6 rows). The corkscrews were very good and disorienting, especially ending with the half-helix. The best part is the monster shot of air before the final turn and brake run. Overall the coaster is pretty decent, but is not going to bowl anyone over, which is par for the course for Hersheypark. They tend to build slightly above average coasters that have long lifespans, and Fahrenheit should continue to thrill riders for many years to come. - Russell Meyer

I really loved this ride! The drop had insane airtime (I have ridden SROS SFNE), and the norwegian loop was unique and intense. The only complaint I had was the ride was shirt and rattled around alot. - Patrick Gorham

Second Best Roller Coaster In Hersheypark After Storm Runner. - James Kurek
