As for constructive critisiasm I really don't have any towards your park, there is nothing I dislike at the moment. Maybe some more rides, the park looks a little empty in that department, but the rides will come with time.

Thanks for taking your time to answer these questions. I just have one question and it's quite simple. How does it feel to help design one of the best coasters in the world like El Toro?

235 feet. It will be the second drop, the first drop will be around 200. The second drop will be large due to terrain of course .

Just from the looks of the park you can tell it has great atmosphere just like Dollywood. It also hows that mountain look.

I knew they were either yellow or pink. But yea nobody ever seems to use the single riders lane.

The only thing that i noticed different from when I went in 05 was that the GB's restraints are now a different color, they were pink in 05 and are now all black, Idk if that has anything to do with it.

Im going to throw in my 2 cents and say that I doubt B&M will build anything 300 feet or over.

Dare Devil Falls looks amazing, how does it ride?

GB does have single rider lanes. Row 5.

GB does have single rider lanes.

Whatever it is, It has made Dispatching wayyy slower, the slowest for any B&M I have ever been on.

This park just gets better and better.

Mine was a Classic Arrow Mega Ouch Looper, The Great American Scream Machine. I was quite scared.

The waterpark was a good move but I don't like how it operates, there is a line for everything, even to get into the play area.

Sidewinder.

I also was not to thrilled about the Comet's wait time. It really was both the GP's fault and the Staff's fault. Once the people walked up the ramp they just stood in the way thinking they couldn't pick a row until the ride Op told them. Numerous times I heard the ride Op saying row 4 is empty can some please fill it in. Me and my brother would just walk by people.

I was dissapointed on Saturday with the Bear on Saturday. It was not what i remeberd it to be. It just meanders around until the MCBR. If you want my full Hershey Trip report check it out, its on this page.

Nice PTR. 2 best parks in the south? How can you not include BGE?

You will definatly have a fun time^.

Thats true. They can't run it with two trains. I was sitting on line thinking, I can load/unload this ride faster then them.

Same, every train that came back just sat on the brake run, with another train still in the station! I hate when operators stack trains. Also B&M's usally have good capacity but that day the lines was just slow and people were not filling rows. How many trains does the Great Bear have? Do they only have 2 trains?

Stormrunner's operators were just amazing Saturday, they were shipping people in and out of that ride like it was nobody's business. A different story for the Great Bear .

When I passed the park on the way home today it looked absolutly packed. But it was hot out so you may have to put the Boardwalk into consideration for the crowd. As for the question which is better Fahrenheit or Stormrunner, I like Stormrunner better it has more speed and the launch is just mind-blowing. My brother had never ridden either and he thought Fahrenhiet was better, just because the length and first drop.

On Saturday me, my brother, my mom, my aunt and my cousin plan to take a one day/night trip to Hershey Park. We left Staten Island around 7:45 am and arrived at Hershey Pennsylvania around 10:30. We checked in at the Best Western, by the time we got to the park it was 11. I was expecting huge crowds since it was a Saturday in July, but the line situation was not too bad since most of the people were at the Boardwalk. None of the lines were over an hour except for Fahrenheit. I was excited for the park since the last time I went was 2005. Nothing has really changed except for the area around Midway America. The service was excellent and the park was clean like usual. We rode all the coasters we wanted to at least twice. This is why Hershey is one of my favorite parks. Now on to the coaster reviews. (Sorry for no pictures when we arrived at the park I realized I forgot my camera). 1.Fahrenheit 2x- Wow. This coaster was everything I expected to be. The first drop was amazing, the Norwegian loop was even better. The coaster Maintained good speed throughout and had some nice pops of airtime. The vertical lift was amazing. Themeing was somewhat non-existent but it’s hard to theme a ride around Temperature. I waited an hour and a half both times but it was well worth it. I rode once at night once during the day. Great ride but still Second Fiddle to Stormrunner IMO. 9.5/10 2.Stormrunner 3x- This ride never ceases to amaze me. It still packs a punch after 4 years. There is nothing not to like about this ride, speed, airtime and inversions there is nothing not to like. Also the wait was only 25 each time! The ride ops on this coaster Saturday were doing a fantastic job. Still the best in the park! 10/10 3.Wildcat 2x- Ouch, ouch, airtime, ouch, ouch. That is still the description of this ride. I sat in the back row both times. It was also a walk on both times. It is still a fun ride with some good air. 8/10 4.Lighting Racer 4x- Best 2 woodies in the park. This ride is just a buttload of fun. No matter what side you choose it’s always fun. I prefer Lighting. My record for the day was not good I went 1-3. Only winning once with Lighting. We rode each side twice. It is really awesome how this ride always has a little or no wait. The fun factor is just off the charts! 9/10 5.Great Bear 2x- This was the only ride I had beef with the entire day. The line was ridiculously long and it really shouldn’t have been. The operators straight out sucked. They were slow with unloading and dispatching, and on top of that they were stacking trains. Also the ride was not as good as I remembered after the Zero G-roll the ride just seems to meander around till the brake. Sure there is the flatspin but even that was just like blah. I was a little disappointed with the Bear Saturday. 8/10 6.Sooper Dooper Looper 3x- It was fun. That’s all I can really say. There is nothing special about it. It is not like the other Schwarzkoph’s I heard about. But it was still fun. 6/10 7.Comet 1x- This ride had the slowest moving line in the park so we only rode once. It was a fun old woodie with some nice pops of air. 7/10 8.Sidewinder 1x- Your run-of-the-mill Boomerang. It was almost a hassle to ride it. I don’t really enjoy them. 5/10 9.Wild Mouse 1x- From what I have heard this is supposedly one of the best Mouse’s around. It sure was. I nick named it the wild mouse of doom. You really fly around the turns. 7/10 Overall I had a great day at Hershey park, like every time I go !
