Elissa pretty pissed off..

[Twister II]

In the Hershey Park video Elissa looks pretty pissed off on Lightning Racer!

What happened to PG-13?

[ParkTrips]

Looks to me like she's doing the "choke" move....

[ebl]

I can't see Elissa flipping off anything, to be honest. As ParkTrips said, it looks like the choke...

I don't like Hershey Park, and I think Lightning Racer is one of the most overrated coasters on the planet.

[ebl]

^ Yeah, I know you don't like Hershey, but I still can't see you flipping it off.

 

But...did you?

[SharkTums]

No, I wasn't flipping anything off, I was doing the choke thing...I know, beam me back to the mid-90's!

[Bubba Z]

Besides LR, It's the whole "that's not a Prairie Dog" and "I'm in the yellow" that makes her hate Hershey even more.

[Nitro X 230]

I don't like Hershey Park.

I really thought I was the only one! I had that same expression on after nearly all of my rides at Hershey (except Wildcat)

I think the official name for that gesture is "gag me with a spoon." 8)

[ChrisZer0]

Hey, if shes flipping it off, no skin off our noses. Let people do what they want man. Theres quite a few parks I like to flip off quite often

[imbordisux]

I thought "Hersheypark" was slightly overrated when I went a few months ago (crowded walkways, several "ok" coasters), but it was still a lot of fun.

 

"Storm Runner" is f'ing awesome, though.

[ChrisZer0]

To me,at least, elissa doesnt seem like the type who'd get pissed off too easy. Robb would only know that answer, so I defer this question to him

Being from Cali and brain washed by Moon Unit Zappa's song "Valley Girl", I have to agree with you. I have never heard it called the "choke", but that is what makes local vernaculars (sp) a good thing! Right???

[Homey G.]

I believe the quote was ...

 

"It's not a Prrrrrrrerrrrrie Dog"

 

Elissa = accent girl.

pourquoi? (why fer?)

[SharkTums]

I just think the whole place is overrated and I've never really had a great visit there.

 

As for Lightning Racer, I'm just not a big GCI fan...too much twisting not enough airtime.

Good points. I made another visit (4th?) this summer and the excessive crowds and heat mde it very difficult to have a good time. Had the same problem at Holiday World last year. And the claustrophobic queue houses didn't help...

[momo1tx]

Strange, my only visit to Hersheypark was one of my best visits anywhere. I think that's because I went for a special event in April, where it was pay-per-ride, with $20 wristbands, and most rides were walk-ons. The only downside was that Midway America was closed.

[MattJackson]

This was in the video? Where? Is Hersheypark worth going to if you live in one of the states east of it?

[robbalvey]

I personally really like Hersheypark a lot! When I lived on the east coast I had a season pass there and would go at least a half-dozen times per year.

 

Honestly, it's not an "amazing" park by any means, but it always seems like such a sigh of relief from the corporate giants (not like Hershey ISN'T a huge corporation, but you know what I mean.)

 

The coasters there are at least better than average IMO. I really like Wildcat (but ONLY in the very front seat), SooperDooperLooper is a great Schwarzkopf looper (yes, enough though it only has ONE loop), I'm one of the few that actually likes Great Bear, Comet is a decent woodie (although could be better with the trims off), Roller Soaker is GREAT fun, and Storm Runner just flat out kicks ass.

 

I do agree that Lightning Racer is probably overrated, but I've always "liked" it. It's not a blow you away ride, but I've always thought it was just "fun"

 

So overall, the park is worth going to, IMO. It's usually pretty well run and clean. I would NOT reccomend going there on a Saturday, though. It's not a good park when it's crowded since there is not any line skipping options.

^^It is near the end of the video. Elissa was only doing the gag reflex for about 3 seconds.

[MattJackson]

Thanks guys!!

[zburns999]

Well, I've been to Hershey more times than I can count, and I've only had one bad visit, and that was on labor day weekend. The crowds sucked! Anyway, I agree with what has been said so far. Hershey is a great park, with pretty good coasters. Although, when you compare it against other parks, it probably has some of the best depth (more than a few good coasters). After a while though, it starts to loose its charm that it had when I was little, but whatever, its still one of the best parks out there in my opinion.

Hahaha, I was standing to the right of Robb when that footage was taken. Good times on that trip.
