HersheyPark - Front right seat ride on SooperDooperLooper, HersheyPark's classic steel looping rollercoaster, filmed June 8, 2009 using Flip Video.

The SooperDooperLooper is the first looping coaster on the East Coast. It was designed as a terrain coaster by Werner Stengel and built by Schwarzkopf. Even though it opened in 1977, the ride is one of the most popular and most-ridden coasters in the park, due to its low height requirement.

The train first goes up a hill, makes a small left turn, and then descends and enters a loop. It then makes a sweeping left turn that travels through the middle of the loop and enters a tunnel. The ride concludes with a series of bunny hills and helixes. The trains on the SooperDooperLooper use a single lap bar to hold riders in the seat. This design works because the forces from the loop (and helix) press riders in their seats, and are a common feature with Schwarzkopf looping coasters. The tunnel that occurs part-way through the ride used to house a mechanical spider prop that would drop down towards the train. The ride opened with three trains. Today, it runs two.

Always have a special place for this coaster. When I was a kid I remember going on with my Dad and there were a few times I would go on it, then for whatever reason other times I would chicken out at the very last moment and my Dad ended up riding by himself while I walked backwards through the line.

Interesting how the name insists it loops sooperdooper like but it only loops once at the beginning.

[RandomImmaturity]

it sounds so smooth

i hope that ride was more fun than it looked...kinda lame for an 'agressive thrill ride'
