Eh. This was my first launch coaster, and the launch itself was great. Ive never gone from 0-70 in 2 seconds or whatever it is before, and what a thrill that is. I look like a sharpey (sp?) in my on-ride photo as my cheeks are pressed flat against my face in layers...LOL
Launch aside, Stormrunner was a letdown. The Immelman and Zero-G roll didnt do much for me. The speed was a lot slower through the body of the ride and after the initial launch the rest of it seemed like a kiddie coaster to me, plus the restraints werent that comfortable and there wasnt really anything to hold on to, and this is definitely not one of those GET YOUR HANDS THE HELL IN THE AIR type rides.
Launch coasters arent known for their lengths or elements, and I knew this before going to Hershey. I didnt expect to be blown away and I wasnt. I only wish I spent more time on the woodies...
