HersheyPark - Ride On Lightning Racer , front seat ride POV! Wow! Hershey Park wooden rollercoaster

https://twitter.com/FrontStCoasters . HersheyPark - Front left seat ride on Lightning Racer (Lightning train), HersheyPark's classic wooden racing duelling rollercoaster, filmed June 8, 2009 using Flip Video.

Built by Great Coasters International in 2000, it is the first wooden racing and duelling roller coaster. The ride makes use of Millennium Flyer articulated trains for a smooth and comfortable ride. During the ride's first two years in operation, the park played recordings for the winning train, which sometimes included local celebrity voices. Bruce Bond had talked about his recordings publicly on his afternoon radio show.

While fans of the ride may have a particular side (Thunder/Green, or Lightning/Red) they enjoy more, both sides travel through the same elements, although at different times. However, the Lightning (red) train consistently wins most of the 'races'. Keep in mind that speed is affected not only by weight on the train, but by weather conditions (rain, temperature) and maintenance. If one track gets greased before the other, it will run faster. In this case, this probably means Lightning (red) gets greased before Thunder (Green)

Also, the lifts' speeds can be slightly different, which makes a huge difference.

I love the feeling of the first drop on rollercoasters when you feel like your stomach just drops and you gasp and before you know it the ride becomes your favorite one.

Lightning usually wins. I went on it...and lost.
