coastercrazed49 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm stopping at Hersheypark around the 8-10 of July. I just want to know what to expect for lines so I can plan accordingly. If you have any other tips, like good places to eat or which rides I should do first please share. Any advice is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I went in July last year and the crowds were bad but not awful. For advice here is some other threads about Hershey.. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50783 http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have one more question. How does the Hershey preview plan work. This is when you go to the park the night before for free before the day you get the tickets for. Do you buy the tickets the night before and just go into the park from there, or do you need to get the tickets in advance in order to participate in the preview plan?

Hercules Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You go to the park and purchase the tickets for the next day, and then you are allowed to go into the park for a few hours for the preview. You do not have to get the tickets before going to the park. Just go the night you want to preview and get the tickets. July crowds can be bad to horrendous. I wish you luck. You should be able to get everything that you want to get done though. It is just hell to walk through some of the narrow parts of the park in the summer.

Maverickrocks Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I went last year in mid-July on a midweek day and the crowds were bearable. I did all the coasters I wanted to execpt Roller Soaker, which pretty much always has an unreasonably long wait because of its bad capicaty. I used the single rider line for Farenheight, so I have no idea how long the wait really would be for that. From what I saw and waited, Stormrunner was about 20 min. in the late afternoon and over an hour in the morning, Great Bear pretty much was always 45 min to an hour, Lightning Racer was always less then 25 min, Wildcat was less then 20 min., Superdooperlooper was about 5-15 min and Comet was about 30-50 min until mid evening when it was 20-25 min Make sure to check the concert schedule to plan accordingly though...if there's somthing going on at the adjacent Giant Center the same day, I've heard that the park can get pretty busy.

coastercrazed49 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 We are going on a Wednesday, 2 days before a Nickleback concert, so I think we should be alright with avoiding the concert crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
