Hidden somewhere in this mountain of wood is a good coaster. The biggest criticism is that Hercules is rough, and there is no doubt about that. This has to have been the roughest coaster I have ever been on. Some complain also about the trims at the top of the first drop. Actually, by the design of the coaster, if these were not there, I have the bad feeling that it would tear itself apart (it is certainly trying to even with the trims). Many have also said this is a one trick pony… if not for the first drop, it would be nothing. I disagree there. It has a wild run from the station to the start of the lift hill, and even after the drop and turn around near the surface of Lake Dorney, it has a second half course that could be interesting and enjoyable if it were not so darned rough! If it were re-tracked, and perhaps reprofiled a little, especially on the main drop and the turn around over the lake, you could have a very enjoyable coaster here. Even a it is, if you can stand the roughness, it is not really all that bad. Beware of this one if you have a weak back, neck, or are prone to hedaches.
