As cool as Storm Runner is, it's really not worth a wait of more than a half-hour when other rides in the park are twice as long, or even longer, have less waiting time, and are just as fun. Storm Runner also has a tendency to have long periods of downtime, and might not even be open during your visit. - Mike Brilhart

A Perfect ride! You dont have to wait till GO! to experince the lauch because right at the WE it launches. the heartline twist and the flying snake diver were the most amazing elements at the park! A MUST-RIDE! - Dakota S

Compared to other coasters like this (Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster) Storm Runner is quite overlooked. it actually wouldn't be far-fetched to say this is better than both because of the inversions are unlike any other. Coaster fans should not miss this. - Derrick O. Foreman

This ride is gotta b byfar 1 of the best roller coasters ever only prob is 2 short. - James Kurek
