The big appeal to having a vertical lift for a coaster is that you can really squeeze a lot of a ride into a small space making for a really twisted and fun coaster.



My only complaint with Fahrenheit and Storm Runner is they use Imtamin's very hard over the shoulder restraint that is a bit painful when you slam into it as you are twisted and flipped over.  If they switched to the cloth restraint like on Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion these coasters would be as close to perfect as you can get.



With Fahrenheit's hundred and twenty-one foot tall first drop over with a beat of the heart this coaster gets down to business quickly sending you through six inversions.



As many times as you are inverted it feels like for half the ride the world is upside down.



I have to say that after plummeting face first to the ground, being twisted and whipped around 2,700 feet of track and being inverted six times Fahrenheit was damn fun.  This is a stand out coaster but the problem is it is in a park filled with stand out coasters especially Skyrush, Sooper Dooper Looper, The Great bear and Storm Runner so it doesn't come off as good as it is.  If Fahrenheit was at a park like Six Flags St. Louis it would be THE coaster to ride.
