Fahrenheit, Steel roller coaster in Hershey, Pennsylvania
Fahrenheit features a 121-foot height with a record-breaking 97-degree negative drop that plunges riders down at speeds reaching 58 miles per hour through six inversions including a Norwegian Loop, cobra roll, and two corkscrews along its 2,700-foot steel track.
Opened on May 24, 2008, Fahrenheit was manufactured by Intamin and designed by Werner Stengel, replacing the Western Chute-Out attraction as part of Hersheypark's $12.1 million investment to modernize their roller coaster collection with cutting-edge engineering.
The coaster represents Hersheypark's commitment to providing world-class thrill experiences that attract roller coaster enthusiasts from across the country, establishing the park as a premier destination for adrenaline seekers in Pennsylvania's entertainment landscape.
Riders must be at least 54 inches tall to experience this intense coaster, which operates with three-car trains accommodating four passengers each and features a ride duration of approximately 1 minute and 25 seconds with vertical chain lift technology.
Fahrenheit holds the distinction of featuring one of the world's steepest roller coaster drops at 97 degrees and incorporates the rare Norwegian Loop inversion element, making it a standout attraction among American theme park roller coasters.
