Great Bear, Steel roller coaster in Hersheypark, US.
The Great Bear inverted steel roller coaster reaches speeds of 61 mph and features a height of 124 feet with dangling feet throughout the course.
Opening in 1998, this roller coaster marked a significant milestone as the first inverted looping coaster in Pennsylvania, with construction costs reaching 13 million dollars.
The ride takes its name from the Ursa Major constellation, incorporating design elements that represent the number of stars within this celestial formation.
Riders must secure loose articles and remove prosthetic limbs before boarding, while a Fast Track pass enables guests to reduce waiting times at peak periods.
The track layout weaves through multiple attractions, including SooperDooperLooper roller coaster, Coal Cracker log flume, and Spring Creek, covering 5 acres of hilly terrain.
