TR - Hersheypark 8/22/06---with rollback :-)

[deguy123]

First things first....The rollback was on Reese Extreme Challenge...lol...The ride was starting to go and then all the sudden lights went out and we were rolling backwards into the loading area...for a minute I didn't think it was going to stop but it did.

 

I took my 6 year old daughter who is a "Hersheys" so she could not get on Storm Runner or Great Bear which was fine. Hersheypark never fails when ever I am there, its just such an awesome park.

 

We arrived around 9ish and the gates werent opening until 10 but they opened them early and we were in at 9:45. We headed straight for Comet Holloe since that area usually has everything open. The Comet was first...

 

Comet - 10 minute wait - 2 trains

My daughter loves this ride and so do I, its just a fun ride all the way though IMO.

 

Then we rode Tilt-a-whirl and the Wave Swinger and headed towards Sooperdooperlooper which was closed. My daughter was really excited to get on that so we just headed to Coal Cracker.

 

Coal Cracker - No wait

This ride is the way it should be at Great Adventure with the hump thingy. Why is it that Hershey can do it but Six Flags can't? I love this log flume and hopefully it stays for a really long time.

 

After that we did Trailblazer which IMO sucks...way too short but my daughter liked it

 

Next we did the water rides...Canyon Rapids, Tital Force, Waterslides. The park is really moving ahead with the 2007 Boardwalk project. Its great to see a part start early...that way its open when the park opens next year.

 

After the water rides we did more rides and coasters

 

Comet 2 more times

Wildmouse 2 times

Wildcat - 25 minute wait - 2 trains

Lighting Racer - 2 times - maybe 5 minute wait both times

Flats - a bunch and hardly any waits

Reese Extreme - 30 minute wait - I thought the ride was pretty cute.

 

Notes

- The park was clean as usual

- BEEF SANDWICHES - still the best thing in the park!

- Sooperdooperlooper was closed and someone in line was a ride attendant and not that i beleive her but she said its been closed on and off for a few months because of problems...anyone know anything?

 

Great day at the park as usual....im tired and need to get to work...i could type more but need to go...lol...and i didn't check my spelling

Sounds like y'all had fun. Lightning Racer is my favorite ride in the park, when I went there I got to ride it 8 times because I could always find an open airgate the line was so empty!

 

Haha, there was a rollback on RECC, that amuses me so...

 

Nice TR

Haha! The height signs. That is probably the most genius height system I've ever seen in a park. It saves so much of the trouble of waiting in line for two hours, just to find out that your kid is too short. I wish I could go back to Hershey - the Comet was my first roller coaster. They have so many great rides now, I really need to go again!

EDIT:

 

I totally forgot about Trailblazer! I can't remember much about it, but I remember that I started crying since I was so scared to go on it. (I thought it went upside-down and didn't trust the rest of my family who had already gone on it.) However, by the end of the night I ended up going on it.
