| Facts: | Prior to its first drop, the coaster begins with a helix. |
| | On the final section of track, as the Sooperdooperlooper train comes close, riders seated on the far right have the opportunity to "kick the Sooperdooperlooper." |
| | The coaster was built over a stream. Because Hersheypark had difficulty getting permission to place supports in the water, B&M had to create some unique structural elements and footers (see picture 8). |
