Hersheypark

Hershey Park is a well rounded park with water rides, roller coasters, rides for small kids, and very wholesome entertainment. It is a manageable size. The new Fahrenheit roller coaster had a 90 minute wait on what was an otherwise quite slow day at the park and left us disappointed in what it was compared to the wait. There was no shade for much of that line so be sure to bring lots of sunscreen. Security at this ride for items that have to be left by riders (glasses, cell phones, etc) is very poor as there is just one open set of shelves that another group of riders has access to while you are riding. My daughter had her sunglasses stolen. The park does better at other rides so I am not sure why this is such an oversight here. Storm Chaser is still our favorite. The admission price and food prices are expensive though not out of line with other parks. A day for a family of four for just parking, admission, and food (lunch and one round of snacks and medium drinks - overall food was not very good) cost about $330. That did not include any games, souvenirs, or other expenses.

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: Food was low quality/expensive, Security at new ride is poor - had item stolen

I have been visiting Hershey Park for 40 years and never tire of it. It is a great place to take friends and family. I travel for work and have visited many parks across the country but Hershey will always be a great park. It's a great size and doesn't take an hour to walk from one end to the other. They have added so many new rides over the years and that has just enhanced the parks mystic. I always try to go once a year. It's easy to get in and out of (parking wise) and the tram runs fairly often. Also, if you get bored with the park, there are other things to do which are close to the park. The Hershey museum, Chocolate World, and the AACA Car Museum. All in all, it's a great place to visit. I can't imagine going any where else!!

Pros: The Comet, Great Bear, Bumper Cars

Cons: None to mention

Hershey park is a great fun family amusement park. They care about their customers, not just their money ! A very nice festive atmosphere ! I have never experienced any crowds or problems in my 5 years going to Hershey Park. The Roller Coasters are great (Wooden and Steel) !!!!!! Plenty of attractions, rides and games for everyone in the family. The park is always clean ! The food is good, reasonably priced and the service is excellent. I drive all the way from Connecticut bypassing 5 other choices of amusement parks including Great Adventure (not the type of adventure I'm loking for !) to come to Hersheypark. It's worth the drive ! I will recommend Hersheypark to anyone looking for a Good Fun time !

Pros: no crowds, clean , great rides

Cons: parking

Great place that cares about the people who come there to visit and spend money. We as park goers can spend our money and time anywhere. Great Adventure has alot to learn, and won't see a dime of my money again. Even if they are half the trip away.... I give it a BIG thumbs UP!!!!

Pros: Clean, Good Value, People Minded

Cons: Candy, Candy, Candy

This park is awesome. It includes many roller coasters of all kinds, water rides, and a lot of rides for children too. It's most prominent feature is probably the Comet, which is a very old wooden roller coaster. I would reccomend going on the Wildcat and the Great Bear if you ever go there. Also, next year it's getting a new coaster that goes 0-72 in about 2 seconds!

Pros: Inexpensive, Sometimes Crowded, Ride Selection

Cons: No Free Parking, Sometimes Crowded

Wildcat and Lightning Racer are two really great wood coasters in HersheyPark. It also has Great Bear, a suspended coaster with some impressive twists. Overall, I'd say this park is very good for coaster fans, and it's decently maintained and has reasonable food. If you have time, stop across the way at Hotel Hershey for the brunch. Great food for $18.

Pros: Uncrowded, Good rides
