I rode this coaster all the time as a kid (I still ride it today), and I’ve always thought this coaster was short, scenic, and sweet (No pun intended)!
"Weeeeeeeeeee... Trailblazer!" It is nice hearing adults act like kids on a roller coaster (that is also likely for kids). It makes the video feel more lively.
I haven't ridden this one in a while but I'm glad they've kept it around for the families with young kids that visit the park. It's great for everyone to ride. I remember riding it before StormRunner was built and the que line wasn't under this ride and it obviously didn't go by the station and launch track. It was more scenic in that area and dark at night which is fun.
Amusement part always gives me this giddy feeling and has for years. I feel like a little kid again. The only other thing that can do this for me is music. When I listen to bands like Delta Parole, the best
There used to be statues, native american tribe, and maybe a saloon you could see from the ride. I guess the coasters que next to is is where they were? Anyone else remember that? They were just for this ride only in the woods.
Looked pretty "smooth" for an Arrow of that age. These mine trains were like the 2.0 version. 1972 Dexter Frebish Electric Roller Ride @ the defunct AstroWorld had the 1st 2nd generation mine train. It too had a single lift and went about the same speed as Trailblazer. It's also nicely painted. Hershey is a great park!
This was my first roller coaster, sometime in the late 1970s. For many years, the only one I'd ever ridden. I remember finding the headchopper under the Dry Gulch Railroad scary intense.
(I'd say I have warm nostalgic memories about that but I actually forgot I'd ridden it once as a child until my sister jogged my memory. But I have nostalgic memories about my SECOND ride on it, with my 5-year-old daughter.)
@ChiWasHere Nice! I'm very happy to hear that! I can't wait to get it on it again! I just went to Hershey Park last week for the Christmas Candyland and it appeared to be closed
@@F4billionyearzag0during the Christmas celebration only a handful of roller coasters are open and Trailblazer is not one of them. If you’re looking for the older coasters of your youth, Comet is not open during Christmas either but SoonerDooperLooper is. Jolly Rancher Remix is kinda old and that is also (it used to be called something else but I’m drawing a blank. It’s basically a boomerang coaster)
I feel like that's a newer thing, I don't remember it slowing the train down that much, if at all. I rode it years ago and don't remember it hitting at all and it really gained some speed at the bottom of the final helix which was fun.
@@mhtube01 Yeah, maybe it was just that I was a young kid at the time but I remember it taking that underpass with some speed, so that there was a significant headchopper illusion.
You have to look for it as it doesn't stand out unlike their other coasters. In fact it's almost hidden unless you walk through the right areas. If you walk down the hill from Great Bear's station back towards StormRunner, you'll pass it.

One of the greatest rides at the 36" level. Amazing intro to a kids love for coasters!

Same here!!!!! I NEVER stopped riding this one. Such a beautiful little coaster. Soooo underrated.
The setting really makes this one. Herseypark is a beautiful park.

The official coaster of "comon grandma you can do just one!"
This is a delightful family ride. My kids have really liked this over the years, and we can all enjoy it together.
Hersheypark has so many great coasters. Trailblazer was my first coaster to ride at Hersheypark. After that it was Lightning Racer!
Step up but lighting racer is pretty easy, my brother was a huge baby about it
0:54 is my favorite part of the ride. Going through the pine tree canopy it's a beautiful scene.

So beautiful there, looks like a Japanese garden.
I want to ride this coaster and visit this park!
Family coaster in the front!
Thrill coaster in the back!
There used to be statues, native american tribe, and maybe a saloon you could see from the ride. I guess the coasters que next to is is where they were? Anyone else remember that? They were just for this ride only in the woods.
YES! I forgot about the theming!
Those used to be all around the trailblazer/train area! They’ve all been removed over the past 10 years except for one statue.
@@alllostfootage thank you I knew I was not dreaming that up.
MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE

My kids love this ride. It’s honestly a little painful at times for me. Also, it’s a tiny bit more thrilling in the back.
I took my son on this for the first time 2 months ago. He was two and a half. Great starter coaster. He loves watching all rollercoaster gideos.

Even on a gentle coaster, things can get pretty crazy!
One of my all time favorites since I was a kid! Absolutely loved Trailblazer! I hope Hershey Park still has it. I haven't been on it in at least 20yrs
They still have it I just went in august!!

I haven't been on Trailblazer since the late 1990s; video makes it seem considerably slower than I remember. I don't recall the mid-run brake.
Woo Hoo ❤️ Hershey Park !!
The brakes though
You can see Storm Runner's extended queue area at the top of the lift hill!
We totally missed this part of the park when I was there I would have went on this
This man out riding rollercoasters, while I'm stuck in lockdown and a 6.0 magnitude earthquake just hit us🤣
Damn, it seems that you survived though
@@masterdirewolf it happened in the morning no one got hurt, I mean I was sleepin when it happened lol😂
WOW 😲
I’m glad no one got hurt!
Where was the earthquake?
Sort of like the mini mine train at Six Flags Over Texas.
I wanted to ride the trailblazer when I went to Hersheypark but they didn’t have it open😭😭😭
I love Hersheypark
Its small. But looks fast enough
I went on this it was a rainy day so it was a walk on since they were running 2 train ops
0:10 does anyone else wonder where that bell is coming from?
No I don’t
It's the miniature train which is also in that part of the park.
From the nearby little steam train.
Looks pretty tame.
makes me wonder just how this coaster would feel if the trim brake before the bridge underpass wouldn't actually set in
I feel like that's a newer thing, I don't remember it slowing the train down that much, if at all. I rode it years ago and don't remember it hitting at all and it really gained some speed at the bottom of the final helix which was fun.

I went straight to comet I was like yay up we go: to AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Please do POVs of Great Bear, Sidewinder, Wildcat, Skyrush, Candymonium, and Laff Trakk.
Candymonium was funnnnnnnn!
Okay.
Wack with a captial W
This is my idea of a roller coaster.
I mean this coaster I guess would have been fun when I was 6, but now it just seems boring.
I was at Hersheypark not to long ago and I don't recall this ride being there.
Well, it's been there since 1974....

Wow
0:42
My mom was scared out of her mind on this. Idk why 🤔🤔
Do you get the stomach feeling?
Not at all.
Anybody else ride this and try to grab the branches of the tree while going through the helix
Worst Arrow mine train ever
CrAzY!!!!!!
