bigstevet07 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Ah a Dutch Wonderland pic. That brings back many young memories. I haven't been there since i was like 10 or so. Is it weird that I've been to Dutch Wonderland, Seasame Place, but never Hershey? That will have to change as my uncle lives 5 minutes from there now. That smores pic made me freaking hungry. Great TR!
ghost007jas Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Great trip report, I can't wait to go in May... Did you see any track pieces, or any kind of vertical construction?
Team Thriller Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I really like these pics! I love how you showed the mid-ways because then I have a good idea how the park has changed over the years! (Probably not much since 1999)
natatomic Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Did you see any track pieces, or any kind of vertical construction? No, no track or anything. Still just dirt piles. I think they've just recently begun the land-clearing, so it might be awhile before we see and vertical construction.
crazyrider06 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 nice trip report... the ferris wheel is so pretty all lite up like that.. and as jayjay719 was saying we got soaked too haha yeah for duckin in and out out of areas huh jay.. but at least we got to ride everythig before it rained!!
Ccron10 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Sidewinder ain't that bad, but the only problem is the lack of arm space with the restraints. Besides, you can hear the famous,"verrrr----kerchink" sound! lol
lil jimmy norton Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Very nice ptr. I love Hershey, and I really hope that I can get there next year. Were did you get the Smores from?
coasterdude28 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Very nice Trip Report! I really hope I can get back to Hershey next year. Your S'mores picture is nice, but I still think I hold the title for best S'mores picture...not to brag or anything. This picture is from this TR, http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37242. Best S'more EVER!!!
RIP Psyclone Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Great PTR, Natatat! I hope to see more from you.
Scaparri Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Dang Natalie, you take some really good pictures! I thought I took some pretty good ones when I was there this summer, but I'm realizing that half of them are crap now. Nice TR!
TexTitan01 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 This TR makes me miss Hersheypark soo much... I hope I can make it out one more time before the season winds down. I bet with all the leaves turning colors it looks GORGEOUS. You took some really good pictures, too. Nice TR!
rgb60 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I like the pic of LR from outside the park, and the Immelman on GB with the tower in the background. I've never seen them pictured from those angles before. Very cool. BTW, that Amish woman is a bit peeved that you stole her soul. The smores look good-- but has anybody had a funnel cake there w/whipped cream & chocolate syrup? Angina on a paper plate! I guess it's just the way the calendar worked out this year that HPITD is only two weekends. The first weekend of October is usually buyouts, and I suppose they need two weeks to get everything set up. If the 31st is closer to or on the weekend, they've had the event over three weekends instead of two. Next year, Halloween is on a Friday, so I hope they're open that whole weekend.
printersdevil78 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Great trip report, Natalie! I was there yesterday and had planned to do a TR, but you beat me to it! Trying not to repeat, here are a few of the highlights. (No rain for us!) Oh, and also, a gratuitous Jack-o-lantern shot from ZooAmerica (free with paid admission to Hersheypark in the Dark). Goodbye, Hersheypark! See you next year! Na na na na na na na na, Bat Lemon! I got a credit on Trailblazer. Or as we took to calling it, "Small Thunder Mountain." An on-ride photo of Storm Runner! OK, so technically the ride I was on when I took it was the Monorail, but still.... Frankie says relax. Also, go left. Splat! ...snowman on the other! This decoration has a split personality. Scarecrow on one side... What do you get from a Hershey fountain? Why, Hershey squirts, of course! So what does a vampire Hershey bar eat, anyway? Guess who? Welcome to Hersheypark. Now eat me! Pippin's is now the Tudor Grill. Avoid the chicken and waffles! How can we make the Chocolate World gift shop more realistic? I know! Add real shoppers! How can we make the chocolate factory ride more realistic? I know! Add singing cows!
Nrthwnd Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Dutch Wonderland.... SUPPORT CENTER??? I take it this was set up, after BarryH's visit here? Great TR. Too bad the S'mores weren't deep-fried, yum yum. Thanks for sharing your trip to HP.
natatomic Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 Great TR for you too! I LOVE the "on-ride" photo of Storm Runner. You know, though, the poor snowman looks like he's been hanged, poor thing.
