Who are you fooling Dave...you know you're peeing your pants in anticipation for the DARK RIDE.

Sounds like an interesting take on the whole concept. Whatever Hershey gets I'm sure it'll be better than all the shoot-em-up rides we've got over here.

 

Except the Berry Bish Bash of course.

isn't it the winner of the rct3 contest?

I hope you're kidding.

[DATman]

I hope he's kidding too^

 

It looks like it will be fun, and kids will really enjoy this one. Also, if you get free recees at the end, who cares?

The thing I think that I'm most shocked by is this will be the first chocolate themed ride at the park (well, besides the kissing tower I suppose).

 

Excuse me for thinking that a park built by a giant chocolate company would have at least a few candy themed rides.

 

Also, am I the only one that was reminded of superstar limo when I watched the video?

This ride looks great. It seems like the type of ride that will appeal to everyone including those who want rides that aren't intense yet still be a lot of fun. I can't wait to try it next year

[Montu]

This thing looks like a load of crap that doesn't even begin to compare to Men In Black: Alien Attack at USF.

[CoasterFanatic]

Why is that a problem? Outside of Disney and Universal, I can't think of too many dark rides that come anywhere near 800 pph.

 

Exactly. Hersheypark doesn't need some omnimover/dual-track 2000 pph people eating monster. This will be a perfect fit.

 

// Isn't Mr. Toad something like 700 pph

Intresting, shoot the jocks ride. Be a big hit with RC Dartarro and other school band members.

[bobpuppet]

Sports, guns and candy in one ride. How can you not love it? If they made it a coaster I would never get off

Hersheypark is owned by Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, not The Hershey Company (formerly Hershey Foods). HE&R (formerly HERCO, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company) used to own a lot of stuff... Lake Compounce in the mid-80's, a Pocconos resort complex, and a hotel in Corpus Cristi, Texas. In the late 80's, they consolidated, and after purchasing Dutch Wonderland (and it's Lancaster County History Museum, Wonderland Mini Golf, and Old Mill Stream Campground) a few years ago, now own Hersheypark, The Hershey Hotel, The Hershey Lodge, Hershey Nursery, a laundry and dry-cleaning service, the Herhsey Museum, Hershey Gardens, the Giant Center, Hersheypark Arena, Hersheypark Stadium, the Star Pavilion (at the Hersheypark Stadium), Hershey Highmeadow Campground, Hershey Country Club, and several restaurants. They do NOT own Chocolate World, that IS owned by The Hershey Company.

it is the winner of the contest! what professional park would name their coaster THAT!? i mean, the name alone sounds like something you would see in rct3. lol

[oralawson]

thats ridiculous.

[UberBeavis]

I see a couple of posts mentioning "dual tracks" on this ride, but I don't see anything on the site, or the video tour that resembles that - it's a two car train of vehicles, but one track as far as I can tell.

[Stitch]

All I have to say is, what about Mr. Good bar?! The ride seems like any other dark ride at amusement parks, families will ride and it will more than likely bore enthusiast.

[ECZenith]

Wow... another shoot the cardboard cutouts ride.

 

I wish they could get the Frequent Faller project going.

[jackskellington101]

Like the idea...odd themeing. To give Hershey credit, the CGI tour is not extremely well done, so maybe the actual ride will look better than the CGI. Heck, they're having a whopping 6 animatronics in the ride! I want to see giant animatronic chocolate. As for the coaster name thing, it could be worse. When the "name the coaster" thing for Roller Soaker came out, I sent in the name Diabetic Shock. I'm shocked I didn't win.

Pretty bizarre concept, but it's no Superstar Limo, at least (which could've used some sort of target-shooting feature).

 

You know, I've lived in the mid-Atlantic area for years, but still haven't ventured into Pennsylvania theme-part territory. Maybe next season . . .

[BarryH]

It looks pretty neat, but I'd like to see a dark ride where you don't shoot at stuff. It seems like dark rides are heading in the direction of the interactive shooting stuff ride.

[Mind Eraser]

Barry, I totally agree! I hate when they expect you to shoot stuff on darkrides. Whenever I ride a Sally interactive ride, I refuse to shoot anything, and my friends get upset with me, lol.
