    Honestly, the best part of Hershey is standing under bear and in that area between comet, skyrush, and superdooperlooper. hearing all the sounds with bear and screams is euphoric. It will forever be my favorite part of the park, as much as i adore the rides.

    Taylor, as a dad I'll tell you that having kiddie rides spread throughout the park is a very VERY good thing. It's one of the many reasons I think BGW is one of the best parks in the country.
    If you have little kids and they can ride something everywhere in the park it really makes a park day nicer. Otherwise, they get bored and then you have to spend 30-50% of the day in the kiddie area because your kids want to ride rides and don't want to just stand in lines while mom and dad do parent swap for a ride the kids won't get to ride.

    Thanks for pointing out about the kiddie areas. I live not far away, so I've been going to HersheyPark since my kid was very small. I like the fact that if you're only doing the kiddie rides, you're not stuck in one small area of the park, and can experience the whole place. I also like that the coasters have a wide range of intensity, so if you're introducing a child to coasters, the park always has something appropriate for them as they grow. It's a fantastic park for families, in my opinion.

    Hershey park is my home park I’ve been going there for years so I absolutely adore it. I also am probably one of few people to actually know exactly where to go and where everything is in Hersheypark. I will admit it is confusing. Also the water park is there as that is the space where they had other water attractions at the time so it jsur fit there nicely when it first opened.

    Went to this park for 2 days recently. It was really fun. The first day was ok and I only got 6 rides. The lines were hell and most lines even stretched out of the queue. We booked a Sunday and Monday. So the Sunday lines were explainable. We assumed since Monday was supposed to be rainy and somewhat colder, it would be less crowded, but it seemed like it was worse then the 1st day. Luckily I got the fast pass and the day went so much better. I was able to do the entire park plus the boardwalk. I clocked in like 20 rides. The place is extremely fun. I always loved this place.

    Grew up in "the sweetest place on Earth" and have been to Hersheypark over 50 times in my lifetime (still young). I can say without hesitation that this is an extremely accurate and respectful review that highlights both the good and bad about HP. I felt your criticisms were extremely fair, as some rides do have long operation times and the parks layout makes no sense, however you also highlighted some aspects of the park that I feel I didn't even fully appreciate. HP does truly have an amazing selection of rides and food, and I am pretty glad I got the chance to experience them al throughout the years. Great review, keep up the good work!

    I go to Hersheypark probably way too much so I can explain everything.
    Before the Boardwalk was made there were Roller Soaker, and The river rapids.
    In 2012, they removed the rides, and the rides in Midway America were already there, so Hersheypark decided to add the most of the boardwalk while roller soaker was being removed. And then you were right about the terrain, this is a very good park for terrain, and the greenery is nice. I like to hear people’s opinions about Hersheypark.

    I grew up in Hershey and my first job was the Chocolate World tour ride you mentioned earlier in the video (looked VERY different back in 2009-13 ie no animatronics, the cows were Gabby, Olympia, and Harmony. To this day, I could recite the beginning of the ride. Oh man do I have stories lol), but the thing I miss the most about HersheyPark was that for a few years, they let you in for free for the last 30 minutes it was open. My friends and I would always go every weekend at 9:30, ride Skyrush twice, and grab kettle korn on the way out. This video brought back some memories!

    Thank you for making a review for Hersheypark! Hershey is my favorite park and I have been going for over a decade now. There are so many awesome park/ride review videos from all around the world, but I never see a lot of Hershey rides in those videos. I absolutely stand by your opinion that Hershey is one of the best parks in the country, if not the world; in my opinion, its unique theming alone warrants a visit. The coasters are second to none as well, almost all of them have an eye-catching moment that you can see from the ground that just makes you want to get on and ride; whether it is Fahrenheit's extreme angles, Storm Runner's take-off, or Candymonium's height (just to name a few), I'm filled with awe and wonder every time I see those coasters in action.

    We discovered Hershey Park in the 90s by sheer dumb luck because my mom always grabbed pamphlets from the hotel lobbies to see what attractions were offered in the area we were in. We were driving down to Florida and decided to stay in Hershey for an extra day to go check out the park and we were pleasantly surprised. I agree with you about the chocolate factory dark ride, it's quite enjoyable.
    We went again in the early 2000s for a long weekend and we stayed for an extra day at the newly-opened water park, which I also really enjoyed. Seems like the park has kept growing since then and we are due for a new visit.

    Hershey is a very old park. It grew organically, realky quite a bit, especially since the 70s. Its also land-locked like Kennywood. They put stuff where they have room, or where they can make room. Thats why the waterpark is in the middle. It was a big flat area that used to have a rapids ride there, which they took out to put the wavepool in. Plus, in the old part of the park, the paths go everywhere as that the way old-school parks were done., in a more meandering layout.

    i'd say this is my home park away from home, especially these last few years. I've visited it 3 times between 2018-2019, making it one of my most visited parks. Great coaster collection, and LOTS of them are great coasters to start with. as an intamin fanboy, this park is perfect for me. well, except skyrush, which i've ranted about *plenty* on youtube and reddit. it's not great, but it's not bad. the only things holding it back are the length and restraints. Haven't ridden Candymonium but it looks great imo. I agree about the layout, but with a map, it's just fine. Its layout reminds me of when thoosies are trying to figure out where a park will put its next coaster :p
    also, i don't think the fact that they don't have a kiddie section is a bad thing. picture this: you're a little kid, visiting an amusement park with your family. your family wants to ride the newest thrill coaster, but you either don't want to or aren't big enough. So, your dad stays behind with you. Instead of having to go to a totally different area to find a ride you can go on, you just cross the pathway and boom, there are a bunch of rides perfect for you

So, when the time came to actually expand, they had to do it however they could. Also, I'm very happy to know that I'm not the only person that thinks Hershey's restrooms smell good lol. Finally....Please RMC Wildcat!!!

    HEY Taylor.... I'm only 5min into your video..... Love it. I honestly can say I backed the Right channel years ago... Good Job Sir....
    Now, so far.... I'm hearing your smh 🤦‍♂️ moment with the water park.... It came afterwards my friend... There use to be a lovely grass area where boardwalk sits today.... Plus a couple rides/food stands that were removed to make way for Waterpark..... It was truly a nice asset to the park..and then came the Cram&Jam session that is The BOARDWALK AT Hersheypark....

    @Aloha745 3 года назад

    We went two years ago and I was very impressed!! I definitely agree on it being a bit challenging at times trying to find out how to get to certain rides or areas. I think a simple solution would be for the park to add more signs. Beyond that, their coaster selection was awesome!! Lots of great rides all around for various ages. One point I’d like to say is how Hershey Park gives a free “preview” pass the night before you’re planning to go. If I recall, it’s from 7-close, so just enough time to get a layout of the park and ride a few rides. Definitely an awesome perk!!

    I think there's a lot great things about Hersheypark. The kid rides spread is good as it's not all doing non kid rides or kid rides. I like that they're not all chain foods. The coasters are great. I enjoy the layout as it's nice to get some walking in and not just be on ride after ride immediately. But, we're less than an hour away from it, too.

    First of all, great review. I haven't been to Hershey Park in so long but we went pretty often as kids. The last time I went to Hershey Park was around 2005. I agree with the confusing layout lol. I remember being confused even as a kid, it's set up like a maze. At the same time, I've always loved the old school feel and vibe of the park. I haven't been in so long but from the looks of this video it has improved all while retaining the original feel of the park. I'll make it back some day. Good video.

  • @Porcf81
    @Porcf81 3 года назад +1

    I have always adored the coaster collection at Hersheypark. It’s probably my favorite.
    As for the layout lacking a master plan, if you know the history of the park, then you know it grew organically and expanded over 100 years. There was no master plan. I love that about it.
    I agree and have always hated the placement of the waterpark. I wish it would move.
    The spread out kiddie rides has always been something I loved at any park. SFOT does this and I applaud it. Kiddie areas are great but giving families the ability to travel the whole park and have something for everyone nearby anywhere you go is brilliant.

    My home park - love hearing it praised so well. Most definitely the best coaster collection out there with Wildcats Revenge added.
    As far as Candylane goes, they’ve made LEAPS and bounds. Up until around the mid 2010’s, they would only be open from Minetown to Music Box Way, and had no coasters open. Was the reason as a kid why I thought coasters couldn’t run in the winter 😂

    I have always loved Hershey but I used to disagree with the notion that Hershey has one of the greatest coaster line up’s in the world. However. I’ll admit I was very wrong on that especially after my last visit last year. Hersheypark shines with their coaster line up, it truly is one of the best coaster line ups in the world. Right up there with Cedar Point, Magic Mountain, and Great Adventure. Best of all, that’s not even talking about the rest of the park.

    I am a local to the area and grew up going to Hershey Park. Comet was my first coaster, but I hit super duper looper and wildcat the same day. Since I have only ever been to one other park, 6 Flags great adventure, I cannot comment much on other parks but I never would've expected Hershey Park to be considered one of the best in the country if not the world. It is a wonderful park though, and I always look forward to going!
