Hercules

The Hercules roller coaster stretched across 4000 feet of track, featuring a 95-foot height and reaching speeds of 65 miles per hour during its operation.

Opening in May 1989, Hercules held the record for the largest drop on a wooden coaster at 151 feet until its closure in 2003 at Dorney Park.

The attraction incorporated Greek mythology themes into its design, connecting with the strength and power associated with the legendary figure of Hercules.

Two trains operated simultaneously on the track, each containing six cars that accommodated 24 riders in a two-across seating configuration.

The roller coaster utilized the natural terrain near a lake, creating a distinctive drop sequence that combined constructed height with natural elevation changes.
