Rank the Hersheypark coasters

Hi guys. We already have ranking topics for some of the big American heavyweights like Cedar Point and SFMM, but another big coaster park in America is Hersheypark in Pennsylvania. With 14 coasters in total, the park is home to one of America’s biggest coaster selections, and with rides like Skyrush, Storm Runner, Fahrenheit and Candymonium, amongst others, it must be one of America’s most respected, as well! So I’d be keen to know; if you’ve been to Hersheypark, how would you rank their roller coasters?

I’ve never been to Hersheypark, so can’t contribute, but if you’ve been, how would you rank Hershey’s coaster selection?

This is probably what I would say, except:
  • Not done Candymonium, but expect that placement would be about right
  • Anything after #10 just fall into the 'turd' pile.

Oooooh, list topics <3 ....Let me go be controversial. I've not ridden Candymonium yet but I do have the old Roller Soaker credit,

1 Storm Runner - <3 for sure my favorite ride in the park and was a top 10 steel coaster for me back in like 2005. It was supposed to be my 300th but because I had missed a few credits leading up to it on that trip (Kingda Ka was closed, Batman side of Chiller was closed, Pocono Lightning was closed,
Keansburg Wildcat was closed...) it was my 299th (and this bad boy became my 300th the next day https://rcdb.com/404.htm )
2 Skyrush - Wish I could have ridden it before they slowed the lift down but its an extremely fun ride for a layout that's basically Rita, with a lifthill.
3 Sooperdooperlooper - <3 classic looper, haven't done it with the new trains yet tho'
4 Lightning Racer - Fun, good racing, maybe someday I'll see the waterfall turned on...Does it even have the waterfall anymore??
5 Great Bear - fun ride but it has days where it runs better than others.
6 Comet - Fun ride but always has a long line for some reason.
7 Wild Mouse - Basic mouse
8 Roller Soaker - Not as good as Flying Super Saturator but still a fun ride but slow loading.
9 Jolly Rancher Remix - Only ridden it with the original trains, it's a boomerang.
10 Laff Trakk - Swing and a miss? MS spinners can be super fun and with the theming and everything this one could be great but it was sooooo MEH and didn't really spin (???)
11 Fahrenheit - 💩, not sorry. Went for its opening season and after a horribly long wait, the ride was disappointing. Slow, rough, meehhh. I gave it a second try a few years later and was still underwhelmed
12 Trailblazer - Second most boring Mine Train ever (only ranking better than the one at Carowinds)
13 Wildcat - Hated it. Hated it for being ultra rough with the PTC trains, hated it for be super slow/laggy with the GCI trains.

'14' Cocoa Cruiser - non-stand out kiddie coasters shouldn't really be rated.
