The Great Bear is the only inverted roller coaster at Hersheypark, which means that the car is hanging from the track above. Opening in 1998, this steel coaster has a total height of around 90 feet, a 124-foot drop, a max speed of around 60 miles per hour, and has 2,800 feet of track length. This ride lasts about 2 minutes and 55 seconds. It was named the Great Bear because of the sound the car makes as it drives under the inverted track. The Great Bear was custom designed by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M).
