deguy123 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I finally got to Hersheypark this year with my friend Stacey and the kids. I was excited to go because this is the last time we would ride Canyon River Rapids since they are taking it out this year. The ride reminds me of being a kid since it was the first thing my family would always go on. A Wave Pool is SOOOOOO much better...cough cough...It's STUPID actually but on to the day.... So we started out on the Rapids which was soooo much fun and the kids loved it. After that we decided to hit Tidal Force while we were soaked. Tidal Force was sooooo much fun...although I almost lost my daughter glasses. I dropped them but could not reach them and then the boat went up the lift draining. After the ride I was able to find them...thank god! Wildcat - 5 minute wait/No wait - I think this is a much better coaster with the new trains. It's still a bit crazy but IMO I think thats what makes it fun. Lighting Racer - no wait - Still fun but I kind of was bored on it for some reason but still great. Wild Mouse - 10 minute wait - This thing is just insane, the breaks were not on and we just flung around those corners! Comet - 40 minute wait - We didn't get on this until later since the line was pretty long. I have never sat in the back and it was much better back there. My daughter was screaming like crazy! SDL - 20 minute wait - Still a great ride and glad they have kept it thoughout the years since its getting up there in age. Great Bear - 30 minute wait - My daughter chicken out last minute so I didn't get on. Trailblazer - 10 minute wait - Kids loved it but that thing is sooooooooo boring. We didn't get on the the new coaster because the wait was too long and no one wanted to get on or wait. It looked awesome though and was mad I wasn't able to get on. Notes: - It stormed really bad for about an hour and the rides closed but then reopened - Someone was carried out from Roller Soaker...no clue why. - The Rapids is going to be missed by alot of people....I can just see the General Public being like....WHERE THE HELL IS IT?? - We rode most of the flats which had hardly any wait - The staff was great as usual Starting the day! Hmmmmm long day huh? Going up! Looked awesome! Fun little Ride! Made me sooooo sick..lol... Wasn't able to get on! From the Kissing Tower....Great Bear, SDL, Comet Random SDL Station Entering the park...I love how it hasnt changed much over the years! On the Tram! She's finally not a Hershey!
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Your report gives me hope that the crowds wont be too bad for my trip next week. However, how long where the lines for Fahrenheit (sp?)?
deguy123 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 They were about 1 1/2 hours long for Fahrenheit ....But the rides were closed for about an hour(Storms) so after that it was a little worse.
