Old Hershey's Chocolate World Photos

[mrconradbirdie]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone would happen to have any old postcards or photos from the Hershey's Chocolate world tour ride. I am working on a big article for dafe.org about the history of the ride if you can help please send me the photos to my e-mail at lightdoctor@aol.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

James T.

Go down to the Coaster James photo gallery and there should be at least one of them.

I have gone thru my Hersheypark stuff and came across this stuff from the old Chocolate World, not much but I hope it helps.

Hope you will post a copy of your report on here when you are finished with it. I think it would be interesting to read.

Some things haven't changed from what it looks like. The tour queue entrance almost looks the same.

 

But when you get to the exterior of the building and gift shop area, it looks a lot different.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Was that ride's manufacturer Arrow? I know they did people-mover stuff, and those cars look like they're from Arrow suspended coasters.

^Yeah. The old cars are about the same as the current ones execpt these don't have lapbars.

 

By the way. Shane, do you have any old Hersheypark pictures? I am currently helping a friend of mine set up a fansite for the park.
