I am not sure what to make of this ride. I guess it'.s supposed to be a modern interpretation of the classic multi-looper. Only I can think of several older looping style coasters that I would rather ride than this, including one that was built some 30 years ago.
Much of my expectations for this ride were based upon my experience with Maverick, which was my favorite steel coaster up until very recently. And there are similarities: Height, trains, use of inversions, etc. But, Maverick this ride is not. Part of what makes Maverick work so well is that you hit the first drop with quite a bit of speed. Not so with Fahrenheit, and the speed never really seems to pick up. None of the elements are taken with that much speed. Sure the Norwegian loop is fun, but it did not blow me away. And, I think that can be said for the entire ride.
