Lightning Racer is one of my favorite rides!!! The hills are steep and fast, but not too fast and steep. The speed is fast, but not too fast. And of course, the dueling part is AWESOME!!!!!! It is a lot of fun when you go on the ride with someone, and each sit on different trains! Lightning Racer Rules!

This takes my number 1 spot. Vibrating machine style roughness on the climb of the secnd drop. An purely amazing layout. Just a huge amount of track going everywhere. WOW, is all I can say. I'm surprised it has such short lines despite the fact it is such an amazing ride.

I think this is the best dueling coaster I have been on. It's also the smoothest wooden coaster I've been on. I love this ride! Definitely in my top ten.

This is my favorite wooden roller coaster at Hershypark I love that whenever I go this is the one ride that hardly ever has a line. You can usually get right on it. My friend and I rode it almost ten times in a row once. =] But I always seem to get on the losing one.
