As of '07 (never got out to hershey in '08, and in early '09 it was raining), this couldn't have been better! No, I don't really need it to be longer, because it would take up too much space. It's great how it is, especially with the very good, fast launch, and the flying snake dive. One of my favorites! - Eli Katzman

Loved this ride on my 2006 trip! Definitely a highlight and a must-ride for coaster fans! - Beth Olliges

The launch and first hill were great, but after that I lost interest in the ride and it became quite rough, but still a cool ride. - Patrick Gorham

An amazing ride! Zero-to-72 in TWO SECONDS. Awesome! - Buddy Custer

Storm Runner is a good ride, but it's riding a lot rougher this year(2008). Also a headbanger. Yet still a blast... - Ian Kampert
