Hersheypark 6/16.....Best Day

At work so typed really fast!....might have some spelling errors!

The trip was even better cause we did not have to pay to get in...My brother won tickets on a radio station and had a bus ride up...We arrived at the park around 10:30 and the parking lot and new entrance was amazing which is a good thing cause great adventures sucks....hopefully someone from that park goes there and see's what that park looks like...waliking throught towards comet hollow you can see they really care about the park, the flowers and trees looked very nice and people where saying hello all over....we headed for comet hollow cause The Comet is always packed for some reason.....

Comet....10-15 min wait....2 train running (4 rides)

The Comet always gives a good ride cause I love wooden coasters..The drop was great and the speed was good but could be better if they didnt have the brakes on..And even though this is an old ride they still landscape it!

QUESTION: Did they get new lapbars cause I cant remember and they looked reallly new unless they keep good care of them...

Superdooperlooper.....10 min....2 trains running (1 ride)

This was the longest I waited for this ride ever and it seemsed to be more busy all day.....The ride was great and is always fun know it was the first looping coaster on the East

QUESTION: Are they repainting the ride cause all the supports where Green?

Great Bear....10 minutes....2 trains running (5 times)

This I think is really under-rated cause its so short but this ride is amazing i think.. The drop is really fast cause of the helix at the top and when your at the top you are so high!....going through all the other rides really makes this one different from others...the front is realy good and the back is the best!

Trailblazer...1 train... (0 times)

The line was way to long and wasn't going to wait for that ride for the longest time in the day....

Sidewinder...5 minutes....(1 time)

I was amazed at how clean the train was!....it looked brand new which it may be....There was only headbanging going through the cobra roll backwards and it wasnt even really that bad...

Wildcat....hardly no wait....2 trains...(5 times)

This has seemed to inprove a bit even thought its really rough, I remember going on it 2 years ago and it being too much...We had a great time on this ride and was able to get some re-rides....

Wildmouse...no wait....(1 time)

Me and my cousin where laughing the whole time on this ride cause tis feels liek you are going to fly off the track....this was not as rough as i rememeber it either but it was a good ride..

Lighting Racer....5 minutes wait (4 times)

I love this wooden coaster and its my top favorite...although i lost every time no matter what train I was on....the station as usual looked amazing and is the best anywhere I think...

Roller Soaker...20 minute wait

This was my first time on this coaster and it was really fun. Me and my cousin sat facing forwards and it was really fun getting sprayed with the water from every direction...

Other rides..

Rapids-10 minutes-still the best rapids ride i have ever been on..

Coal Cracker-10 minutes-Fun

The Claw- looked amazing but noone would get on with me so i skipped it....

Tidal Force-15 minutes-great ride

The Park

As always it was a great day and the park just looked amazing I didn't see one weed until the wildcat and it wasnt even that bad....the park just has a good feeling and everyone was having fun. Midway America is the best section of the park...and the Minetown is very relaxing....but I dont know for how much longer cause everyone says a coaster is going in that area and there was markers everywhere and spraypaint so who knows whats going to happen...the new kiddy rides where so cute and cant wait to take my daughter there...

The Food

I swear I think i ate everything in the park which was not good but the food was so good and you can find anything you want there....

Ok I would type more but im soooo tired so I'm done :-)
