    You are correct! The big tent in the middle of the park used to cover the carousel. I was so bummed when they moved it with the remodel.

    9:28 As someone that have been to this park before a bunch of times, that tent used to be where the carousel was before they moved it near the entrance. Then again, the park entrance used to look way different before 2020 so there's that.

    I was very fortunate to have worked there at Hersheypark for the summer of 2018. Best summer I ever had. And yes the circus tent was the original spot for the carousel, Hershey moved it up front when they made Chocolatetown area.

    Jacob, if you haven’t done it yet, you should take the trolley tour sometime. It takes you around the town of Hershey, tells you how Milton Hershey got started and it talks all about the Milton Hershey school. I think you would enjoy the trolley tour.

I remember she was the center attraction of their dark ride, and her body would move back and forth as she laughed. It really scared me, and fascinated me at the same time!

    Fun facts: Chocolate World is not the flagship store for Hersheypark...actually owned by different companies and not affiliated at all. CW is owned by The Hershey Company (the actual choc company, hence the special chocolates and "factory tour" there); HP is owned by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts.

    You actually found a Mr. and Mrs. Laughing Sal at Caufield's Novelty in Louisville. You just looked at them and said they were scary. When i was there last year I was talking with the owner and he turned them on for us. He said he got them from a closed park but i forget where he said. He restored them with a friend. Next time you are in Louisville, go back and check them out, it may be one of the only remaining male Laughing Sals left.

    My mom grew up in Hershey and lived on Chocolate Avenue. I worked at Hersheypark about 40 years ago, when the Kissing Tower was new, and worked mostly on the Kissing Tower. We had to give live speeches back then. Once, after the park closed, some of my co-workers and I got the tower stopped at the top, and went outside and sat on the top of it! (We got in so much trouble!) The Kissing Tower ridegroup also worked the sport and antique cars--those were fun. Also yes, you are correct. The circular tent in the middle of the park was where the old carousel was. Not sure what happened to it.

    I grew up not far from Hershey use to go to park in the 60's when rides were individually ticketed. Also use to tour the actual chocolate factory the smells in the factory were amazing. They didn't build the chocolate ride until later. Only main coaster they had was the wooden Comet
