The Great Bear Roller Coaster at Hersheypark, Hershey, Pennsylvania

The next coaster on our tour of Hersheypark is The Great Bear.

The Great Bear is an inverted coaster built by Bolliger and Mabillard for Hersheypark in 1998.

The Great Bear has a different feel to it when compared to most inverted coasters by B&M. Instead of just immediately plummeting after the lift The Great Bear takes you through this high helix before getting to the big drop.

With the unique start to the ride The Great Bear has more of a relaxed fun feel to it instead of being nothing but a high speed thrill machine.

With the station half the way up Hersheypark's Kissing Tower Hill The Great bear only has a ninety foot lift before a descent of one hundred and twenty-four feet into the valley below.
