Spideyfreak Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey everybody! This past Saturday I was at Hersheypark with a private group of 7,000 people. Rides were mostly a walk on all day, which gave me lots of picture and ride time. Hershey has also wasted no time in demolishing the rapids ride and Rodeo to make way for "The SEAquel." The day started out with a ride on Fahrenheit and several rides on Storm Runner in the 50 degree wind. I saw Trailblazer running and decided to take a ride. The station was empty and it pretty much turned into Trailblazer ERT. Then I went on the monorail, which proved to be a good spot for pictures. Then I pretty much ran all over the park several times riding most of everything. Anyways, without further delay, pictures! These are pretty much posted in the order they were taken. Thanks for reading! It was then I realized I had no chocolate all day! Old Skyride station. Theme Park Review was here. Yes indeed... Wait....good picture opportunity? Another random house. Nice attempt to help out the single riders like me. I love this shot. Bent identification tags. But wait....does anyone know what this building is for? It must be the planning office for the new Mega Coaster! Wildcat time. You were also closed. You are not open today. Lightning Racer... No stalled train here... Sunset. Note the balloon. I mean, Sidewinder! The park wouldn't be complete without a Boomerang. I lost my Flyers virginity. That's more like it... Skyview... See? I wasn't having good luck with timing trains that day. Good timing, bad place. Happy riders... Comet... NERD SHOT! Ok, I promise no more nerd shots. NERD SHOT! Music Express insanity!!! The pussy whip... Whip control panel porn! Whip, or as some of us call it "pussy whip." So what's so great about this Wild Mouse? It has no trims on the top part, and it has a hell of a lot of airtime down the first drop! Yes...you all have just had the best Wild Mouse ride ever! Rodeo area... Rapids destruction... :-*( Storm Runner's station. Trailblazer. Yes it's true. Hersheypark has their own version of Mystery Mine. It's right down there! If only there was a train... I love this shot... Sooperdooperlooper... Through the trees! Almost had the perfect shot... Nerd Shot! *sigh* If only there were a train. Storm Runner madness! Now-operating Faclon/Condor ride. We see you Comet... Laser-snake-horse-dive...errr....thingy... Cocoa bean storage. Kissing Tower... Non-operating Condor/Falcon ride... Storm Runner awesomeness! Great Bear... Through the trees!!! Monorail time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsor Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Great pics, Matt! So do you get Fahrenheit yet? I still don't. But it's better than a three-point shootout upcharge attraction, I suppose. Glad you popped your flyers cherry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itnotfair Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Awesome TR! Hershey park looks like so much fun! Except for the Falcon/Condor ride!! OMG I remember when SFMM had the Condor. Puke city. Population: Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerryB Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Great TR! It was so good meeting you on the ECT. Glad to see you got back for some more chocoholic time. I am still upset they decided to tear out the rapids, but what can you do. It's still a beautiful park and the Lightening Racers will always hold a special place in my little competitive heart!!

HPCrazy Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Awesome T/R! The old CRR area looks so open. How come you didn't get any more pics? My and and I we'll be meeting up with Chris (CCron10) and his friend for HP in the Dark this Sunday, the 19h, so we'll have lots of pictures of the SEA-qual construction as well as general park photos. Also, what was your opinion of the old skyride station's new paintjob? Looks kind of bland, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
