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.

I feel like I've been spoiled having this place as my home park for so long. I often take for granted just how good their coaster collection is and overall how good the experience of a day at Hersheypark is! It's hard not to enjoy this place honestly.

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.

I rode like 17 rollercoasters in one day (the same ones over and over) last weekend and man it was great until I started to feel sick bc of how fast we were riding but I could never get bored of HERSHEYPARK

The reason the kids rides are spread out is because Milton Hershey wanted the family to be able to “play together”- which is why it’s all spread out ❤

Hersheypark seems to be a small local park that became a big super park, on the level of Six Flags and Cedar Fair. Therefore it has elements of both a big chain park, and a homegrown park with a tiny bit of disney sprinkled in with Chocolate world and their characters

It's been my favorite Amusement Park since 1982, love everything about it. It's not just the park but surroundings, like the town, tour, service, camping, zoo and experience. Visited there from the Bronx NY and now I reside in Philly which is even easier to get to.

Hands down my favorite park. The ride selection, food, staffing are all top notch. Also just a pretty cool town and area.

I feel so blessed to have Hershey as my home park! I actually went to Hershey Park in the Dark and rode Laff Trakk without lights on (which I wasn't expecting or prepared for) and it was almost twice as fun! Love this place

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.

yes! I have been waiting for u to do updated version! Ty Taylor!

Hershey is the best candy company as they have so much variety! They have a huge variety of chocolates, taffy, B&Ms, Intamins, GCIs, and more!

The reason for the placement of the water park "The Boardwalk" is that site is the former location of the river rapids ride "Canyon River Rapids". Most of the rides behind the water park, "Lightning Racer" etc. are older than the water park is.

I agree regarding the park layout. It's almost as if they never expected the park to become as popular as it is, or need to expand as much as it has. 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.

Very blessed with having this within 2 hours of me. My favorite park. Besides the steep hills, it's so much fun. And my favorite rides barely have long lines. What is funny, is that, I don't recall having food there other than subway and kettle corn and kettle chips.

I just visited this park a few days ago. And the coasters are phenomenal; especially with the addition of Wildcat’s Revenge. But you are 100% right when you said the desert foods are a big factor! As someone who has a sweet tooth, this place was HEAVEN for me!

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. I love seeing Hersheypark get these essay type videos!

So proud of my home park 🥺🙌🏼. Been going my whole life.

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'm planning a trip to Hersheypark for this summer, so I needed this!

Hersheypark is my home park. I've been to Hersheypark almost every summer since my childhood. I really enjoy riding the roller coasters.

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 love Hershey Park. Every time I go I have an absolute blast. I’m obsessed with the adrenaline rush that roller coasters give me so I love it.

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 always enjoy your review video. 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.

super grateful to call Hersheypark my home park ❤️ I do agree that the park layout is a bit weird and can be tough to navigate through. I'm curious to see what the park will add with all the new land around Chocolate town. They could use some more high thrill flat rides.

God... I grew up going to Hershey Park, I moved out of state last year and this video really makes me wanna go back. First rollercoaster was the wild mouse.

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!

We love our park here in town- thanks for showcasing Hersheypark!!

I remembered I first visited Hersheypark since 2018! And I had a very fun time at there!

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.

I wish I lived closer even tho it's my home park.

Hershey Park is easily the most charming amusement park ive ever been to. I have so many great memories there and they have kept the spirit of the park intact through my entire life

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

Thank you for the rundown on this fun looking park.

Hersheypark has been my home park all my life. Been going there since before I could walk. So much has changed over the years. I've also worked at Hersheypark since 2015 and I have met some of my closest friends there. Great review man. Dispatch

I love this place-it’s such a good park with rides for everyone! Also Candymonium is awesome

I’m so glad I got to work here between 2013 to 2017. The layout definitely could’ve been better, but it was always fun to come to work and operate the games. It is mostly just a summer job for high schoolers, so most of my friends have moved on to other jobs. My favorite roller coaster though is lightning racers. Usually fast lines and doesn’t break down that often. Been going back at least twice a year. If you want discount tickets, go to the Hershey Giant Food Store near the park. The customer service counter sells tickets, 45 for adults, I forget how much for kids. It’s always great going for the entire day. Stay later in the evening to get on rides faster as most people are leaving. The only problem with that is traffic sucks getting out, even with their 2 lane roads.

As a Pennsylvanian I’m happy you enjoyed my summer tradition. Great Bear is my favorite roller coaster, first ride every time

Ok!! That’s my new vacation destination. Place looks awesome.

I remember doing a band competition here back in middle school, I had a lot of fun since we did the competition 1 day and had the second day to explore the park.

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.

I always felt very magical whenever I went to Hershey Park for the day! I'm glad I had the chance to visit back in the 80s early 90s 🍫 🎢

Great video, I'm really thinking of going there now, especially with them adding their new b&m coaster!

Hersheypark is my favorite park outside of Walt Disney World. I’ll agree with you about the hills and walkways I’ve been there probably 50 times or more and I even find myself doubling back on a path every now and then. Great video!

Dorney is technically my home park. But I have so many memories at Hershey and it's crazy to seen how they've grown over the years. Tbh I never thought they'd amount to much given how tight they are with land but they've really built an amazing collection of rides and roller coasters over the years that rivals some of the top parks

Hershey is so much fun in spring and early summer. Ride rollercoasters all day and go to a hockey game in the evening. I also visit Hershey Gardens across the street - just beautiful.

As a coaster operater at Hershey, I like that lightning racer, laff track, and the Ferris wheel r in the back bc it gives the back a nice skyline veiw as well

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.

I love the whiff of chocolate smell they pump through the chocolate world building. Honestly if you’re not into roller coasters chocolate world by itself is already really cool.

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 😂

Loved visiting for the first time this year but was super bummed stormrunner wasn’t running. Great park and love how Knoebels is little over an hour away

Awesome film love Hershey Park look so amazing your film angles look so good keep going amazing video! 😄👍

To address the water park issue, historically the water section of the park was next to the old entrance and down through the hollow, by the Comet and Super-Dooper-Looper. There were spring fed swimming pools, slides, and one of those skipping flume rides, all along the creek. But in the 70’s, the park got hit by a series of storms, that brought devastating floods to the hollow. The removed the water section, and for a decade or so the park had no dedicated region for wet attractions. When they finally were able to expand, a water park was at the top of everyone’s minds, even though the expansion was at the far side of the park away from the entrance.

Hersheypark is my home park. Thing about this park when adding more attractions is that the park is pretty condensed now these days. Thankfully the new area of land that was bough where Candymonium is, we can see more expansion of the park with new extreme flat rides and perhaps another coster. The food is good and unique at the park with some name brands and even independent small business owners that contact with the park with their food stalls! East Coast doughnuts for one are amazing and it's a mom and pop bussiness!

Heading there end of June for the first time! We'll also be hitting Dorney, Kings Island and Cedar Point all within a week! lol

This park has so much nostalgia for me. Used to go every year from the time I was like 8 through college. First with family, then friends, then bc we went to school like 30 mins away. It's been great to see this little park slowly grow into this beast with one of the best coaster lineups out there! So wonderful and despite all the parks Ive gone to over my life this is still my second favorite behind CP. The layout is deff not great, and I think it actually stems from how much the mark has added. Like seriously theres so much more than when I was a kid and years ago I recall thinking "How will they fit more in here?" I think answer is....stick rides wherever you can lol What a park and now that I've accepted Im an enthusiast its been great going yearly again.

I love Hershey Park! Getting older I've had problems with motion sickness but for whatever reason Skyrush just didn't trigger it in me.

As someone who has been to Hershey more times than I can count, those random pathways are great, if you know where everything is, those give you amazing shortcuts without a ton of people if you do it right. But I can totally see how it’s confusing to new people 😂

I live about 30 mins away from Hershey Park and besides prices, parking, line waits, and well... prices it's awesome. Honestly go one a Monday or Wednesday to have the whole park to yourself... I went on Saturday and line waits we're at 2 hours and 4 for candy monium... if you go any other day get there early and start from the back... lightening racer was a 5 minute wait... good luck to anyone that goes and well made video! 👌

I 100% agree about the layout. The first time I went there it took me a pretty long time to go from ride to ride

Got to Hersheypark for the first time this past summer, absolutely loved it! Spot on about the lack of a dedicated kids area, that was the only negative for us - we always like to set up camp in the kids area where there's a lot of rides to keep the kids busy while the adults take turns going on the big rides. Couldn't really do that here which was a big challenge, especially since it adds a lot more walking for the kids, which wears them out even more than usual!

Hershey Park is a special place to me because it was the first time I got over my fear of roller coasters, and what a place to do it.

When I was a kid in NoVa, the closest thing to a "home park" we had was Kings Dominion, but we'd visit Hersheypark quite often on the way to visit family in the Poconos, and it was my personal favorite park (near-tie with Busch Gardens Williamsburg). It's still up there. At the time I was a timid kid about rides and I liked the large number of family rides, and the way they didn't seem to be an afterthought--it's actually more of a thrill park now, but they've still got many of them.

I live about an hour or so from Hershey and I always look forward to going every year!!

I actually used to live in Hershey when I was 6-9 years old and I recall we went to Hersheypark and Hershey's chocolate world all the time then. Even though I'm more of a Disney parks person now, I still miss Hersheypark and I want to go back someday, especially with how much the park changed since me and my family last went

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!

I’ve been going since I’m an infant love this park so much going back next month can’t wait

Great review! Grew up going to Hershey Park, been a little while now unfortunately. I'm almost sad to hear they totally redid the entrance, cause that old town area was iconic in my mind. But it was also a huge choke point trying to get in and out of the park, so I get restructuring it. And I agree with the layout being a little bit of a mess, not unusual to get turned around a few times in that area between Storm Runner and Great Bear. Love the rides, love seeing this park repped. Hope I get to go back sometime soon and see the new entrance and rides.

Loving all of the updated videos

I freaking💕 Hershey!! It's my happy place when I'm home👍. Their deserts are to die for soo delicious!! It's the best😘💕🎉

I feel like Hersheypark is like what my best RCT 3 park would look like finished. Great coasters, randomly placed flat and kids rides, not overly themed, but proud.

RCT 3? ….. Have you tried Planet Coaster yet? 😅

Revisiting this video ahead of my trip this weekend, and man am I so excited! I'm sad I won't be able to experience a lot of their headlining coasters (other than Candymonium, of course), but I guess that just means I'll need to come back one day.

I visited Hersheypark for the 1st time in September 2020. I think your review is spot on!

I don’t go here often but this place has a special spot in my heart

Hersheypark is without a doubt my favorite park (and I’ve been to CP). There’s just a different feeling you get when you even pull into the parking lot and see all of the rides. I can’t really explain it, but it just feels so good when you’re there. The park is very well maintained, and yes the layout is probably one of the worst I’ve ever see, but it has so many great rides for the whole family, great food, great entertainment, the Halloween and Christmas seasons are also really nice, and not to forget ZooAmerica is a nice little FREE zoo to enjoy for an hour or so. I 🤎 Hersheypark!

That's great that you love the factory ride as much as I do!

To your points about the waterpark - that was put in place *after* the coasters were already there. So the spacing and walkways are weird because of that. Hershey only purchased the land near the entrance and towards the Giant Center a few years ago so they were only able to work within the space they had, and Skyrush, Laugh Track, and the drop towers were a few of the last rides they added before the land purchase. They have been sandwiched between the downtown area of Hershey, the mainline railroad tracks, and the major routes and roads with little room to expand until now.

I’m actually planning my first trip to Hersheypark next year and I’m really looking forward to it.

I've been going to Hershey Park pretty much my whole life. My brother was a boy scout and they did camping every year at Hershey and I always loved going. I revisited in 2020 for the first time in a while and I actually became a passholder because I knew I'd be coming back a lot. I went to Hershey Park in the dark and honestly I missed the summer season so I don't know how it is at night during the summer but it didn't feel much different besides using the waterpark space as a walkthrough for kids to trick or treat.
