Storm Runner in Hershey Park ( Hershey , Pennsylvania , USA ) is a steel roller coaster of the Accelerator Coaster model from the manufacturer Intamin , which opened on May 6, 2004.
It was the model's first roller coaster with inversions .
technology
In order to achieve a higher capacity, two stations were built that are parallel to each other. This means that two trains can be loaded at the same time. There is a switch in front of both stations, which connects the respective station with the main line. If train 1 drives over the switch on the acceleration section and then drives over the entire route, the switch switches to station 2 in the meantime so that the second train can be sent to the acceleration section after the first train reaches the magnetic final brake Has.
It reaches a height of 46 m and accelerates the trains from 0 to 116 km / h within 2 seconds. It has a top hat and three inversions and, in addition to the double charging station, also has an eddy current braking system . It was also built to interact with Hersheypark's other rides.
Trains
Storm Runner has two trains with five cars each. Four people (two rows of two people) can be seated in each car. The seats are equipped with shoulder bars.
