Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

Not for nothing, this is honestly super effin cool if you think about it. Who would have predicted that any park would at one point have a B&M and Intamin hyper right next to each other? Both the same-ish height/speed, four across seating, lift hills facing the same direction, etc. Its comical. But its also totally awesome. Poop and pee colored too. Also, Candy/Crush.

The best part is that, despite having similar stats, they will have drastically different ride experiences. One for the mild enthusiasts, and another that should be illegal and not allowed to exist in America.

 

Candymonium will be a great ride I'm sure, especially if Mako is any indication that B&M's newer hypers are their best. With that being said, if I ever make it back to Hersheypark sometime soon, it will be to ride Skyrush again. That ride is unreal.

A B&M hyper is great, but one that takes the attention away from said somehow legal insane Intamin hyper right next to it is even better. People will eat up the less intense B&M (I told my wife Hershey is building "chocolate Nitro" and she said book the room now) so hopefully lots of walk ons are in order at Skyrush this year.

So are we going with Snow Mako or Chocolate Nitro?

If it involves Nitro or chocolate my wife is all for it. Combine the two and she pretty much wants to move to Harrisburg.

 

For the rest of us Snow Mako is probably a better descriptor.

The park has posted some great new photos on Facebook (Some of the photos in this post are older so I didn't include them, but they're great too). Click the full res links, the quality is great.

Hershey Highway is too easy, but I feel like im missing another way to say it.

In case the pictures weren't enough, Hershey has posted a aerial flyover video on their Facebook:

This has gotten me really excited about this new addition. I can't wait now to visit this summer!

Trains revealed for Candymonium... Reese's, Almond Joy and Twizzlers.

 

[PKI Jizzman]

Can't wait to hear about people skipping the Almond Joy train because they hate coconut, haha.

[southpuddle]

And skipping Twizzlers because they taste like plastic!

[prozach626]

Do they have any diabetic friendly rides?

[coasterbill]

I hope the Twizzlers train provides a comparatively disappointing experience for the sake of cohesive theming.

[Haymaker]

Almond Joy is disgusting.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Obviously we all agree Reesesmonium or GTFO.

[Haymaker]

Id still ride the Almond Joy train though, because sometimes I feel like a nut.

[coasterbill]

Almond Joy is disgusting.

 

I'm coming around to Almond Joy which I hate because it means that I'm getting old and turning into my dad.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Could be worse, guys. Zero is a Hershey product.

[JG-77]

I actually don't mind almond joys, but twizzlers are pretty dull unless they're the pull'n'peel variety.

[Haymaker]

Official ruling from HP IG is that the blue car is Kiss themed, not Almond Joy. My thinking was that the track was Kiss themed so Almond Joy made sense but I guess I was wrong.
