Reader reviews of Great Bear
a good coaster for kids riding there first inverted rollercoaster. - Steven D THIS IS EXTREMELY INTENSE I COULDNT FEEL MY FACE AFTERWORDS! It was a very fun ride that was very smooth. I was so scared on it because It was so intense. It is a MUST-RIDE! - Dakota S so fast and so smooth, my only complaint is that it's not very long after how long one usually waits for it. - Victoria Jurkowski a very smooth and enjoyabe ride. One of the best inverted coasters out there in my opinion and one of the best coasters in the park. - Jen T Great ride love the helix before the drop definitly an 8/10. - James Kurek LOVE IT!!! I usually hate roller coasters because of the stomach-drop feeling but I didn't get anything on this one. One of my first roller coasters. Amazing! - Alyssa Dravick For some reason, this didn't really get up to my standers for the job I had expected from another B&M invert; I was really looking forward to a better ride. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great ride, just not exactly what B&M is capable of. Maybe, it's because B&M and hershey weren't allowed to put the supports on the water, and that created a huge mishap of avoiding it. (If you pay attention in the next youtube video you watch of great bear, the supports never touch the water! Leading up to the final flat spin, the support has a square shape that goes under your feat!) - Eli Katzman
