Culture For The Non-Cultured

I never, ever understood the draw of roller coasters, although I grew up right near Great Adventure. I think I’m missing the I-want-my-stomach-to-lurch-through-my-throat gene that so many people have.

But, if you have the gene, you can now go to Hershey Park and ride on a new roller coaster called Farenheit, which is simulated on the video at the end of this post.

Farenheit features

– A 97-degree angle – more than vertical.

– As you face downward on the drop, the track actually disappears.

– The ride hits you with 4 Gs of force, more than what NASA astronauts experience.

– It goes up to 60 miles per hour.
