Sort of like a mini Hersheypark?

By the way, you seem to find lots of coaster news.

Who cares. I had too much fun at "heineken experience Amsterdam". They should build it near Brussels instead!!

Ever since I have seen Chocolate Factory I have always said that it would make a sick park...Lets hope they do a good job.
