Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

[Jcoaster]

I guess the part of me that loves the old Hershey is from the nostalgia of visits to the park when I was young. This nostalgia being the late 1990's when the parks lineup was SuperDooperLooper, Great Bear, Comet, Wildcat, Sidewinder, Trailblazer and the Wild Mouse.

[TyRush]

It's complete!

Real or just fantasy?

[TB305]

Wow, that is amazing, and your attention to detail is stunning! I remember seeing those exact style railings, trees, and lights while I visited. This is awesome!

 

You should make a thread for it in the games section! I would love to see more pictures!

^^Beautiful Job!! Will you be making this available for download? I just upgraded my computer and am running NL2 awesomely.

[TyRush]

Thank you guys! I will eventually make it available for download, I am still working out a few kinks in my park package files before I do!

Hey guys. Visiting Hershey park for the first time today. I know a lot of schools went back into session. Just curious if anyone familiar with the park would know what kind of crowds we should anticipate today?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

 

I was there last Sunday, and while it was moderately crowded, the only rides that had long lines were Laff Trakk and Fahrenheit. Everything else was 10 mins or less.

 

Have fun on Skyrush, my fave coaster of all time!!!

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it! We are just getting here now after grabbing a bite at a nearby restaurant. Can't wait for skyrush

[amy_mel]

Download their app. Very accurate wait times and you can set alerts to let you know when the lines are shorter.

I'm going to Hershey next week, however I'm going alone. I've been there multiple times with groups, and never noticed a single riders line on any rides. Is it possible to sit on standby waiting for an open seat? Or do I have to wait in line?

[Cj1990]

It's pretty crowded today. I'm hoping the crowds will thin out a little bit later on

Sorry, there are no single riders lines except for X-treme Challenge. I wish there were for the coasters.

I wonder if I can be "that guy" and shove my way through the queue going "SINGLE RIDER SINGLE RIDER"

[yay101]

I agree. When I went there was no single rider lines for the coasters, and obviously I think there should have been. I will say, though, that if you're going a weekday the crowds will not be too bad at this time of the year. (I don't think...)

[coasterkid124]

Does anyone actually follow the "Single riders group in the middle of the train" policy either? I've had no problem picking whatever seat I wanted. Even after I was assigned a row on Skyrush, I still went to the back of the train and nobody really cared.

[njcoasterguy34]

I didn't follow that policy. Nobody seemed to care. I was able to ride in the front on Fahrenheit, Sky Rush, Storm Runner, Wild Cat, both sides of Lightning Racer, and in the back on Great Bear.

Is there any buzz about Hershey Park for 2016?

[Coaster Hero]

^Not yet. I'm a bit surprised actually. I hope they get a good drop tower someday, that would be the perfect fit there

I was there this weekend and it was the only thing that park lacks.

Agreed, the park could really use a nice drop tower to round out the flat selection. A Star Flyer would also be a solid addition for Hershey.

[TyRush]

I feel like a water park addition is next. I also agree a star flyer or wind seeker would be a perfect addition. I have been praying for an Intamin Sky Jump since the announcement of Falcons Furry and Hershey's partnership with Intamin, but we'll see

Wow that would be incredible. I could totally see a unique drop tower coming to Hershey.

[Coaster Hero]

^Agreed. A unique drop tower like that, the only one in the north and the east, would be incredible. Here's to hoping it happens someday!
