 Review of Great Bear @ Hersheypark
0 Rating Posted by: RCGenius on 1/9/2005 8:55:00 PM
A fun coaster back in 2000, but a really boring B&M invert right now. I cant even tell yall how many times Ive been on Great Bear, & this ride just keeps getting more & more boring. Its not just because Ive been on it so many times, but I feel like the elements it provides will have that effect on you that doesnt really stick out for your tastes. It cant even compete with the other B&M inverts Ive been on so far (Talon: Grip of Fear, Raptor, Montu, & Dueling Dragons: Fire & Ice). Theres just too much straight track on it between elements that couldve been used to add a cobra roll, another corkscrew, & a double helix at the end. The only good parts of Great Bear are the helix before the first drop, the first drop itself, & the zero-g roll. After those elements, the rest of the rides mediocre. I know that it was designed to be a B&M family invert, but theyve taken the whole B&M family invert thang to a whole other level. Id still ride Great Bear at Hersheypark since its the second best steel coaster there (which doesnt say a lot since their steel coaster departments weak anyway & why I believe that 2007 should be the year that they should get a B&M or Intamin hyper), but dont even bother with it if theres a huge line because its not worth it. Comet, Storm Runner, Lightning Racer, & Wildcat are much better rides anyway.

Welcome to dis joint yo!
I admire how well HP can squeeze their coasters together, even if it creates some unique/weird looking stuff like GBs first drop.

The unique drops and tight fits are one of my favorite things about the park. In some parts of the park it reminds me of roller coaster tycoon.
