Storm Runner
Storm Runner is a launched roller coaster located at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Manufactured by Intamin Amusement Rides and located in the Pioneer Frontier section of the park, the Accelerator Coaster opened to the public on May 8, 2004. It reaches a maximum height of 150 feet (46 m), a largest drop of 180 feet, and launches from 0 to 72 mph (116 km/h) in two seconds. Storm Runner features a top hat element, three inversions, a dual loading station, and a magnetic braking system. In addition, it was designed to interact with three other Hersheypark rides: Dry Gulch Railroad, the Monorail, and Trailblazer.
Storm Runner was the first Accelerator Coaster to utilize over-the-shoulder restraints, and the first to have a dual-loading station with switch tracks. It was also the first Accelerator Coaster to feature inversions. A replica of the ride was included in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3's Soaked expansion pack under the same name.
