i want to puke just from watching this

this is the baddest, gnarliest, steepest, corkscrewiest roller coaster in the country.  just looking at this wormy constrictor makes me want to yak.  it’s called Fahrenheit and is located in hershey, pa.  here’s what coaster-net.com has to say:

Fahrenheit will feature 121-foot tall lift hill that propels the three car, 12-passenger trains up to the sky at a 90-degree angle. Riders will then experience the steepest first drop in the US, which is angled beyond vertical at 97-degrees.

Riders will hit a top speed of 58 mph at the bottom of the first drop before flying into an element yet to be used on a roller coaster in the United States. This element is known as the 107-foot inverted loop, and then the train immediately barrels into inverted corkscrew roll. In all, riders will challenge six inversions, which include the two just mentioned, a cobra roll, an airborne inverted S roll, and a second inverted corkscrew roll.

holy fuck!!!! that must be similar to what justice feels when he’s playing with bulge’s man meat. i gotta get out to hershey this summer.

here’s a first person video of the ride. bad ass!!!
