Rush just wants you coming back for more. No other coaster has "enhanceable elements." Those restraints are so damn free. You can enhance an element, improve an element, or counteract a lat within an element by moving the body. It's hella fascinating.

[@CoasterDash]

That’s absolutely true! There’s nothing else like it out there.

[@Jeanisshy_]

100% true. Came off it with a sense of inspiration, creativity, imagination, jubilation, and hope. Hope of future genious innovation.

[@appliedforcesJYG]

Exactly. There's uncertain features of the ride making it impressive. The air is one thing, but there are countless other things. The emotions I get on this ride I just can't explain..... I'm smiling or laughing during the stengel dive then I have nervousness and anxiety as the coaster enters the following s-curve. Sometimes I'm even too scared to lean my body to the left before it since it slashes your waist in half.

[@TrentonLarge]

Big bear mountain at Dollywood gives you that level of freedom as well!

[@NoobDog2100]

Love the restraints so much.

[@jamesmaxton5016]

I’m glad u brought up skyrush restraints, I’ll take a little thigh pain for my whole upper body being free

[@adamned8943]

I road the Wildcat the first time in 2021, which after, I referred to it as "The Chiropractor". Well I'm back and saw the updated Wildcats Revenge. Was skeptical til I saw the Best Coaster 2023 sign. Had to try it and holy crap it did not disappoint! Never have I rode a rollercoaster like this! It was amazing!

[@andrewwinarski9525]

Think best ride in the park!

[@BakedSports]

Hershey is my home park, get a season pass every year i love it

[@CoasterDash]

It’s amazing.

[@hitzgaming8747]

Sky rush actually got new restraints this year and there really good! You should try them out.

[@halo364]

This is dope, I agree with basically every single one of these rankings! Great video as always!!

[@erikm8372]

I went to the park for the first time the summer Great Bear opened. I remember everything was themed to Great Bear, like the brochures, signage, etc. I was 13 and was so impressed with the park back then, and half of this list wasn’t even there! 😂 I wish they had been though. I went on Wildcat well before the RMC treatment, and I can recall being shocked at how rough it was back even then.

[@Dalton.J]

thanks for this video bossman, i enjoyed watching it. i learned alot from it for our trip.

[@CoasterDash]

No problem! Glad to hear that 🤙🏻

[@AmusementProductions.]

If I get to Hersheypark (with the rides they have currently) I would bet that Candymonium or Skyrush would be my favorite!

[@DJ_week]

Trust me, candymonium is better than you might think, it’s smooth as glass and is an incredible night ride

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely Outstanding

[@jamesmaxton5016]

I love Hershey park, maybe even more than great adventure. It has a lot of thrill factor, but also has insane charm, and a clean appearance. Probably one of the only parks I’ll go on a “tour ride” (the candy one) because it’s so nostalgic

[@michael7054]

Great video! Very good variety and nice collection of coasters this park has! I enjoyed watching!

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks Michael!

[@michael7054]

@@CoasterDash You're very welcome!

[@kyckrox1]

Thanks! I’m going for my 8th grade trip next year so I’ll have to save this 😊

[@cb_styx3392]

Rode some of these 2 days ago. Awesome rides

[@AirtimeProductions]

I can’t wait to possibly visit this park in 2024! The top 2 looks great, and I need to experience that 1-2 punch for myself

[@Persephonova]

Hiii you’re my fave coaster channel 💖

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you 😊

[@KeyDash753]

The top 6 are quite extraordinary. Even on busy days, there is usually a short line on one or more of Skyrush, Stormrunner, or Great Bear. Fahrenheit used to be my favorite after my first rides were super smooth, but later rides have been shakier. It seems like it varies a lot.

[@jamesupchurch6037]

My first ever roller coaster with inversions is the Vekoma boomerang coaster in Six Flags St. Louis and I loved it

[@skatecharlie2152]

I went 20 times this season and I have ridden every major coaster over 100 times, but I still haven’t rode wild mouse…

[@MattMcIrvin]

Hersheypark was my favorite theme park when I was a kid, and I think it was because of the number of family rides that were there at the time--I was coaster-phobic. The only coaster I rode then was Trailblazer, and that only once. I went once as an adult about a decade ago and couldn't do a lot of coastering because I had a small child with me, but I did get to experience Fahrenheit and sooperdooperLooper. Fahrenheit is fantastic--the only problem with it is its low capacity, which makes for rough lines. It's interesting to see Intamin do their take on a Eurofighter/Infinity-style coaster. I particularly liked the corkscrews near the end. sooperdooperLooper fascinated me because I remembered seeing it when it was new and being terrified by it. You could describe it as a Mine Train with one punchy Schwarzkopf loop right at the beginning--by modern standards, not a super-thrilling ride. But I liked finally getting to ride it and it was the first time I'd ridden an inversion without over-the-shoulder restraints (that was a rarer thing then than it is now). The setting and visuals are nice. It's kind of crazy how many rides are tangled together in that part of the park--even back in the 70s, sooperdooperLooper had an exciting interaction with the Coal Cracker flume. Trailblazer is short and tame as Arrow Mine Trains go, there's not much to it, but since it's my first roller coaster, I have some sentimental attachment to it. I did make sure to ride it again with my family on that visit--my daughter was about 5 and she was grinning the whole way. It wasn't her first coaster but I do think it was the first that had an extended layout with a lift hill. My wife, who is very much not a coaster enthusiast, describes Trailblazer as about the level of ride she's comfortable with. I think what Hersheypark needs now is not another coaster but some kind of transportation ride to bring people to the back of the park and even out the traffic flow. The monorail and the steam train don't really take you anywhere and, while fun, are no help at all. When the layout was much smaller than it is now, they had a Von Roll gondola skyride (much bigger than the little chair-lift one that is still there) that went from the front of the park to what was then the back, near Coal Cracker. They should revive that and turn it into a triangle, with the third corner in the Midway America area or near the waterpark. It'd make it much easier to get around.

[@CrazyCoastersConnor]

I agree with the whole list, but I would switch great bear and Fahrenheit. Good video👍

[@solarwinds5114]

I am very lucky to have this park as one of my home parks along with Dorney and SFGAdv! Skyrush is definitely my favorite as well but Wildcat's Revenge is a close #2 and an incredible addition to their lineup

[@morganmcmahon3021]

Well done👏🏻And here’s my rankings after my recent trip no kiddie coasters : 1. Skyrush-Duh I can go on and on over how much I adore this ride. The drop, speed, wicked ejector airtime, color theme, restraints, and my poor dad having been used to airplanes all of his life his response after it was, “Violent!” Hopefully in the coming years a roller coaster can beat this one for me. 2. Wildcat’s Revenge- Riding this in the dark was absolutely crazy, RMC outdid themselves with the remake of this wooden roller coaster. 3. Fahrenheit- That 90 degree drop is classic, love the color scheme, and inversions. This is one of my all time favorite Intamins. 4. Great Bear- This was the first B&M invert I ever rode. Love the vertical loop and other inversions. 5. Comet- My first time on this woodie as Wildcat and Lightning Racer were my favorites before. Smooth, fun woodie and love the bunny hills. 6. Laff Trak- This came as a pleasant surprise. It’s a family coaster, but really enjoyed spinning around in the dark. I’m sure it’s fun with the lights on. 7. Jolly Rancher Remix- Of course a long time ago I was terrified on this Vekoma boomerang and it made me love roller coasters, but there’s just better ones at the park. New theming is cute with the lights and Jolly Rancher candy pieces. Please ride it on a return trip for the millionth time please 😂 8. SooperDooperLooper- A tame family coaster with one loop, good introduction to the thrill of roller coasters 9. Lightining Racer- This used to be my favorite woodie at the park and I loved the dueling aspect, but it was kinda disappointing during the latter half of the ride. The first half is solid, it’s smooth, but after that tunnel, you can feel the jankyness. 10. Storm Runner- I do love launch coasters, but this one is a little too intense for my liking. Going up the top hat is absolutely terrifying to me, but then the ride starts to get a bit more bearable with the inversions. Sadly missed out on Candymonium due to some high winds☹️

[@CoasterDash]

Fantastic list!

[@morganmcmahon3021]

@@CoasterDash Thanks, you’re a great teacher😊🎢 I couldn’t differentiate between manufacturers a year ago and was probably still on the upper cusp of GP

[@danielward4868]

I have never been to this park, and I am jealous that it has such a stacked coaster lineup

[@lkeshow86]

Great video again, i agree with most of your list.. I'd switch 3 and 2

[@feesrmt]

lightning racer used to have a long line back in the day😂 like every train was full no single riders ect, it was always a timee

[@mediocreangler5924]

Great list! Comet is my #1. I have ridden probably 150 times.

[@CoasterDash]

Wow, nice!

[@skyguyismyguyr12turn]

Liked this video

[@0010plays]

When i was there most recently skyrush had the longest wait by far in the park with close to 2 hours they where for some reason only running one train on it i guess they where not expecting it to be a busy day or smth but it was a very busy day and i didn't get a chance to ride it on both of my trips it was raining the first tims and thid the second although stoem runner was great we where in a rush to go in to all of the rides and get out so waiting 2+ hours for skyrush was nlt an option

[@CoasterDash]

It’s been getting looooong wait times this season because it’s only been operating with one train at a time :(

[@360coasters]

First lol. Great video!

[@TheKnexMaker]

love b&m hypers, shame we done have any in the uk. my first and only one was Shambhala at portaventura and that remained my number #1 coaster until september this year when I got to ride Zadra and Hyperion at Energylandia. My top 3 are now Zadra, Hyperion then Shambhala. Thorpe park is my Local so it will be intresting to see if there new Mack Rides Hyper coaster, Hyperia will beat any of them for me

[@gianfeliciano9816]

Trailblazer has the honor of being the first roller coaster i've ever ridden. I was 7.

[@iidizzynuke6775]

Honestly I'm suprised you put skyrush over wildcats revenge because when I went last weekend and rode skyrush front row, I didn't really get any forces now that could be because it was early in the morning but it just overall didn't have much bite to it, but I had a great first ride on wildcats revenge and it blew me away, it's definitely up there with other RMC's I've been on like Twisted timbers or Lightning rod.

[@warriorfam3489]

Dorney got a new coaster :)

[@TimBrought-nw6cf]

The scent on jolly rancher remix made my lungs feel weird and gave me a headache

[@feesrmt]

miss this place haven’t been since august 2017😖

[@Hakuna65Matata]

They did change the restraints on sky rush

[@MaxG-fz1de]

8:30 who’s grippers are those?

[@joeypowers1434]

When jolly rancher remix was still sidewinder the ride ops closed my hand in the restraint and sent the ride before I had the chance to alert them I rode the whole ride with my hand crushed in the restraint

[@elizabethnicole2455]

Omg this happened to me too!

[@andyroman8223]

I only rode Fahrenheit once, but that one ride was one of the roughest coaster experiences I have had. I probably got a bad ride though, and am eager to try it again at some point.

[@CoasterDash]

That’s so odd, but you aren’t the only person i’ve heard who has had a rough ride.

[@Apollosdemise]

i thought it was really smooth, weird

[@elizabethnicole2455]

You have to sit towards the front. That thing rattles like crazy

[@andyroman8223]

@@elizabethnicole2455 Problem is, the first drop on Fahrenheit is one of my favorite elements on any coaster, and is way better than Skyrush's first drop (haven't ridden Wildcat's revenge or Skyrush with the new restraints).

[@alantrotter2077]

One of the stronger roller coaster collections especially after Wildcat's Revenge replacing a bad woodie in Wildcat. Here is my ranking for Hershey Park's coasters: 1. SkyRush 2. Wildcat's Revenge 3. Candymonium 4. Storm Runner 5. Great Bear 6. Fahrenheit 7. Lightning Racer 8. Comet 9. Laff Trakk 10. Jolly Rancher Remix 11. Wild Mouse 12. Sooperdooperlooper 13. TrailBlazer 14. Cocoa Cruiser

[@CoasterDash]

Very respectable list!

[@vxnasq]

i love jolly rancher remix but the tunnel does not smell like jolly ranchers and i was really excited for that only to find that it smells like.. chemicals?

[@6darren6]

Is that Drownin playing the back?

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Hershey

[@Goliath146]

you are right about super dooper looper being peoples first upside down coaster, it was mine as well and sadly comet wont provide the airtime it used to it got new trains that dont have buzz bars Edit: Candymonium opened in 2021 not 2020 Covid happened in 2020 nothing was open💀

[@CoasterDash]

Hersheypark reopened to the public in August, 2020 and Candymonium opened with it.

[@weegeeweegee]

Bro wild mouse is goated because when I rode it it was a lot of fun and you can't rate something like wild mouse to candimonium tbh but hey, that's just my opinion

[@NoobDog2100]

Just went to Hersey. Have to say, I was blown away by wildcats revenge…. Amazing. I also loved sky rush. Particularly the restraints… I LOVE the lap bar type restraints. They feel super comfortable and I feel super free (I know that’s not what everyone wants on a roller coaster). It reminds me of my favorite roller coaster of all time, Velocicoaster. (Yes Ik they both intamen)

[@meghanwilliams4316]

I do not mind the intensity of skyrush but I do not like the restraint at all. I rode it once and won’t ride it again.

[@btk22279]

Really love Hershey, but I do think Lightning Racer is getting very rough and that could have something to do with the short lines. Talon at Dorney is better than Great Bear in my opinion.

[@JOD_Sneakerhead12]

i got comet over lightning racer all day

[@coastercult4142]

Coco cruisers is easily the best ride

[@1grandpa654]

Coco cruiser snubbed should’ve been 1 tbh

[@andrewwinarski9525]

Rush was waaaay too short. Other than that agree one of the best.
