ejot 6 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Found the contrast to a 4hr wait interesting. It was a bit surreal to ride a brand new B&M for the better part of a half hour without seeing another guest. Not everyone's preference, granted. I enjoy raucous full trains and Zen solo rides alike.

Canobie Coaster 80 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Fyi to anyone going to Candylane. If you intend to ride Candymonium, you also need to watch out for wind. Candymonium closed due to wind before any other coaster yesterday. Winds were listed as 16-18 mph on my weather app. Link to post Share on other sites

They MAY NOT open unless temperatures are above 38 degrees and rising: Fahrenheit; Ferris Wheel; Great Bear; Hershey Triple Tower; Kissing Tower; Lightning Racer; Capital BlueCross Monorail; Sidewinder; Skyrush; sooperdooperLooper; Storm Runner; Wild Mouse; and Wildcat. Candymonium may close as temperatures approach 34 degrees. So Candymonium can operate in lower temperatures because of these bogie heaters: At night they give a nice glow: These are the first in the US, no? Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 316 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Maybe on a B&M hyper (not sure about Raging Bull) but wheel heaters are becoming increasingly common. I just caught the part about how it will close at 34 degrees even though it has wheel heaters. That's absolutely adorable. Link to post Share on other sites

I am curious: what is the lowest temperature you have seen Nitro run? Genuine question from a West Coast-er who thought 40 degrees at SFMM's Holiday in the Park was absolutely freezing.

coasterbill 316 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 18 degrees. They’ve never closed it for temperature. It also doesn’t have wheel heaters. Link to post Share on other sites
YoshiFan 1 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 New restrictions in PA starting Saturday https://www.wpxi.com/news/top-stories/new-coronavirus-restrictions-just-announced-by-pennsylvania-gov-tom-wolf/A4KPJWHDJ5HNBP27NTUMMQQTKM/ Quote All in-person businesses in the entertainment industry serving the public within a building or indoor defined area, including, but not limited to, theaters, concert venues, museums, movie theaters, arcades, casinos, bowling alleys, private clubs, and all other similar entertainment, recreational or social facilities, are prohibited from operation. It sounds like the park should be able to stay open but indoor rides might not be able to run and no indoor shows. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 316 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yup. Laff Trakk and Cupfusion are now listed as closed. I’m sure the Chocolate World ride will be closed also. Link to post Share on other sites
DorneyKid14 4 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Family took the day and went to Hersheypark for their Christmas Candyland event. Weather was perfect; cold and overcast. Park looked beautiful with all they lights. The snow definitely added extra beauty to everything. The new Chocolatetown looks fantastic. Cant wait for the restaurant and ice cream parlor to open up! I did not ride Candymonium, did not feel like doing the walk of shame. Now onto photos! The new entryway is great. Love the openness and the view of the water and coaster. I like fun and chocolate Love the color of the ride. The sign is one of the best i've seen! I always need to take some type of sunset picture! Wish the lights went up the tree more, but they still looked great! New this year was TREEville At the Boardwalk. Some tree were decorated by a certain group and if you took a photo in front of them, you got a price. And the price was...... HERSHEY CANDY this was decorated after hot chocolate! This was themed to.... PEPSI (Coke is still better) Seems a little cold for the wave pool. Waterpark themed tree!! They had the 'welcome' sign at the end of the treevillage. Grabfries are a gods gift from heaven. From Fahrenheit all the way back towards the whip, they had the 12 days of Christmas. Unfortunately, this is the only photo that came out half decent. We did ride the train, but we did it before the sun had fully set, so we didnt get to see the lights in their awe. Triple tower looks good in christmas colors! So the area down by the water was absolutely beautiful. The trees were all full of lights. Some videos of the light shows! Here is a quick hyperlapse! 20201220_183234.mp4 20201220_183124.mp4 170351803_20201220_1830451.mp4 Fresh giant donut? YES PLEASE!! Lastly, we made our way over to Chocolate World to end the night. New entry way looks nice at night! This house of candy was absolutely incredible! I can not imagine spending numerous work days building this. Love the kit-kat flooring. Really brighten ups the house! This was so cool to see. Great job by the people that built it! All in all, it was a great day at the park. The new entrance was great. Hershey really made a great investment with that. Hopefully I can come back and ride Candymonium. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
