Coaster Review- Hydra

After visiting Dorney Park in Pennsylvania, you cannot forget the ride of your life on Hydra: The Revenge, a floorless style coaster that brings riders through six spine tingling inversions. What makes this coaster so unique you ask? Hydra is well know for having an inversion (heartline roll) while coming straight out of the station. The ride takes guests up a lift chain and sends them through the ride of their life filled with extreme air time, all while their feet dangle above the track. You will experience corkscrews, zero-g rolls, a cobra roll and more as your   heart continues to pound with nonstop excitement. The first inversion, the heartline roll, causes riders to slowly suspend upside down, having nothing but the restraints holding them into their seats, as they hang for a split second. The rest of the ride quickly brings guests through several more gravity defying elements that will make you beg for more. Hydra takes two pictures for guests to purchase; one upside down during the hearline roll, and the next after the corkscrew before the cobra roll. Once purchased, both pictures will appear on the photo card. Hydra is a great ride for those thrill seekers who want something new. The ride has nonstop excitement and will have you jumping back on line just to get the full rush all over again. After experiencing Hydra, you will realize that there's nothing else like it out there. An interesting thing to know about Hydra is that there have been many disputes to whether or not the ride has seven inversions since it hasn't been professionally proven just yet. The "dive loop" after the first drop may seem to bring riders completely upside down; some agree to this while others feel they are close to it but not nearly there. Why don't you ride it and decide for yourself?
