I think us enthusiasts forget GP don’t care or know specific stats / manufacturers, and take the ride for what it is. As we probably should try to again!

This airtime even with the trims is still very strong

The element at 8:55 reminds me of a Hershey kiss.

I rode Candymonium on July 2, 2020- within the 1st few days of operation. I am a Season Pass holder, rode it 2x- once in the middle once in the back row. It is definitely a thrilling coaster ride and SMOOTH! I did notice a bit more airtime in the back- Much more than Skyrush. I actually rode that earlier in the day and am still wondering after 10+ times overall how you do not fall out on Skyrush. I felt that Candymonium is still thrilling but less intense. An overall thrilling, smooth coaster ride. I also give Candymonium a 9 out of 10 overall. Can't wait to go on it again in a couple of weeks or so. Once the overall Chocolatetown area where this is located, in the front is completed with trees, Kiss fountain, landscaping, etc.- this overall experience will be very memorable every time you ride it.

I was counting 6 seconds of airtime on the first camelback. I hardly got trimmed and had nutty air on the rest of the ride each time I lapped it.

“Skyrush is a pretty good hyper” People disliked that.

Thanks for your review. I look forward to riding it at the beginning of August. That first airtime hill sounds very similar to the one on Mako, which is one of my favorite airtime moments on any coaster.

Thank you for the wonderful review😀 if I had to rank my coasters right now at Hersheypark, not counting storm runner because it’s closed for the season, I would put Skyrush #1 & Candymonium #2. I’ve ridden it probably @15 times so far. The amount of time you are out of your seat is amazing. It’s just incredible👍🏻

The track looks so delicious I honestly want to eat it

Thank you so much!!! I’m going this week and I heard the ride was great. I needed to make sure it was good!.

I totally agree, I felt the rattle in the back too. This was my first b&m hyper and at first I was under whelmed but, I would give it a solid 8. I was able to get 4 rides on it.

I’m going to the park later this month can’t wait

Was there with the family on 7/14 and Candymonium was nice and I kept my eyes open for the first big drop but then closed it most of the way since I started getting an immediate headache with the G forces and the mrs getting a headache herself and adding to my headache with her yelling. My son and daughter opted out on getting on. I did like the ride but my favorite is the Great Bear and Storm runner but the storm runner is closed for the season. Social distance and limiting the amount of people to the park made the wait lines very bearable .

Wait until you go on Skyrush though 😶

When Hersheypark announced the name for *skyrush* I said "what a stupid name for a coaster at Hersheypark. Was the theming department on vacation?" Skyrush is quickly becoming *not family friendly* and for a theme park in the "family friendly" business..... that's an issue. Every really good coaster feels like it is a mile too short.

@groovynipple7092

Exactly, that’s why I feel they added this coaster even though they have Skyrush already. They needed a massive thrill coaster that was still rideable for the whole family. I love this coaster. I can’t wait to get back and ride it again.

Looks like it gives Mako a good run for its money!

My recent rides on this have been much better than the rides during the first 2 weeks. Most of my rides were barely trimmed on the 2nd airtime hill which made the ride much better imo.

Am I the only “enthusiast” that doesn’t differentiate between “types” of airtime?

Hershey in 5-10 could most likely get a Giga but 200ft and above is still a very tall coaster Hershey has some amazing coasters some of the best out there and maybe they could get a Giga in 5-10 60-80 percent chance of earlier or a bit later but most likely could happen eventually and the rides there will last a very long time and won’t get outdated for a very long time

Hershey is a more Choclate version of SixFlags with just as good of rides

I think sky rush looks much better than this does. Candymonium looks like just another typical B&M hyper coaster. Orion, Goliath at over goeriga, Diamondback felt the exact same. The only difference is Orion was much taller and faster than the other 2 but the ride felt the same.
