At the time I rode this, I thought the launch and top hat for Storm Runner was flat-out amazing. After riding KK, well, its safe to say that neither are quite as impressive. Still, its fast and tall (comparitively speaking for both), and its a lot of fun. Thankfully, the ride does more than just blast you off and send you through a top hat. I dont remember the sequence (or type) of inversions after the top hat, but I remember being seriously disoriented one time after another. The OTSRs were fine, despite some criticisms leveled at the ride in its first couple months. I agree with others who said the powerful voice at the beginning of the ride add to the mood. After riding this, I spent a lot of time walking around the house saying, "Get ready...here we go..." This is easily the best ride in Hershey Park. I only hope Hershey adds more quality coasters in the years to come.
