Lightning Racer POV at HERSHEYPARK

[@Hatwards]

The dueling on this ride is so good I love this thing.

[@peep6017]

How does the dueling work? How does one become faster and slower each time

[@Brando7867-j1u]

@@peep6017 it really depends on the weight of the train when loaded with riders.

[@DevioussJohnson]

@@peep6017 Because gravity and weight

[@DevioussJohnson]

@@Steelcityeditz I explained it to someone who didnt understand and you came 4 months later to say something about it lol

[@livi_raine]

I went on this for the very first time yesterday and I thought I was gonna pass out lol, but in a fairly good way i guess? I have 0 experience with coasters and this was my first one. The wait was like two minutes and i was happy with that. It was a sensation I've never felt before and I loved it, even though I was a little terrified of how fast it felt like it was going.

[@livi_raine]

btw, i was on the Lightning side and we won!

[@ChuuMoon777]

@@livi_raine me too! I felt proud lmao

[@zjones9876]

It very rarely has a long line. It's at the back of the park and some people don't even know it's there.

[@catz_crazy6672]

I love this ride because its fun and you can marathon it all day long because its always a walk on

[@igniteddevil6183]

SAAAAAMEEE THAT WAS MY FIRST COASTER

[@k9feces]

This is an underrated coaster. Loved it at night.

[@MrVekoma1979]

gci needs to build more racing coasters

[@shmackadoomcbeeferton]

that means parks need to buy two coasters which is very rare and expensive. use your brain

[@undercoversmartdude]

Don’t be scared to ride this, it’s so fun. Third coaster I’ve ever been on, first two being wild mouse and laff track. It was so fun and so fast it didn’t even give you time to process the fear.

[@Justcallmeminty]

I went on this when I was like ten it has been five years and I’m petrified I really want to do it though😅

[@carleestankiewicz1791]

lol before I went on this ride, thunder got stuck halfway up. Everyone left the line and we went right away. 💕😂👍

[@mitchellries256]

This is the Thunder side. Would've been more excited if they also had a video of the Lightning side.

[@AlexisBraun-zv1pm]

I love this ride so much because this ride is just amazing ❤

[@Texaslawhorn]

My favorite coaster at Hershey!

[@it.is.jilly44]

This ride was so much fun 🤩

[@tworebornlovers4205]

By far this and the wildcat are my favorite rollercoasters

[@evanchase8907]

I like how fast this one goes

[@Thesussycrew]

I Like This Roller Coaster despite its roughness

[@woxof6969]

Lightning Racer is a double wooden roller coaster which has the thunder and lightning trains.

[@JethroT000]

I rode this 6 times in row today and i still wanna go on it

[@jesusvalencia2996]

do the rollercoasters always go at the same time? first time going to PA this summer

[@spease116]

This ride was my first large ride and I god really scared at the drop my older cousin jd calmed me down

[@Thatpickleguy]

When I went on this I said hi to the other people while passing them

[@Thatpickleguy]

Just a tip green one/Thunder always wins

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

@@Thatpickleguylightning has been winning quite a bit recently.

[@nicholasdisneyland4768]

Some people say that this is the best GCI out there, anyone who has been on this agree?

[@thedavinator37]

I think wildcat is better honestly

[@md03250]

Yeah

[@prettyluhemari8632]

Nicholas Disneyland I wish

[@DanTheCaptain]

Nicholas Disneyland It is awesome, however I don't think it is the best. It is up there though!

[@sonimatic]

This is my 2nd favorite behind Mystic Timbers. I haven't ridden Prowler, Gold Striker, or Thunderhead, but I like it more than Wildcat, American Thunder, Apocalypse, and White Lightning.

[@reesehanley7073]

What cart wins Cause i am Going to hershey August 2nd 2018

[@Stealth-hg1jl]

Reese Hanley it depends

[@alysonsullivan4322]

Best ride in the park

[@peep6017]

How does dueling coasters work?

[@LukePedulla]

the more weight on the train the slower it is, so the train with less weight wins i believe :)

[@peep6017]

Luke Pedulla oh wow I didn’t think of that thank you!

[@kohnea1]

I’d think the heavier one would win. F=ma. 😂

[@peep6017]

How does the winner change every time?

[@doodlebugugg]

I think they randomly sent one cart up a second or two before the other one at random

[@Solorclasher]

I think it’s gravity and it depends on how much weight is on a car. Pretty sure the more weight in the train wins.

[@woxof6969]

This was filmed on the thunder train.

[@CrazyManhog]

How does this ride feel less painful comparing to Wildcat

[@NathanHydra]

its newer than wildcat was and wooden rollercoasters get very rough over time if they arent taken properly care off, if you want to keep a wooden coaster smooth over a long period of time you need to spend a lot of maintenance on replacing aging parts

[@joeyouknowthejoke1057]

Who counts this as 2 credits?

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

Nah

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

Me. No reason not to since it’s two different coasters.

Pretty much copied ghostrider! Ghostrider the best! ( In my opinion)

[@squidward7853]

It's made by the same company. Of course there are going to be similarities. Plus their layouts are quite different, my friend.

[@eduardo0444]

I don't see much of a difference in the layout, but whatevs

I just looked up a POV of Ghostrider, and I must say, they are extremely different but whatevs
