My Ranking Of All The Rides (I went on) At Hersheypark This Past Weekend

If you really think about it from first principles, is it actually any stranger to theme your rollercoaster to a candy bar than to a talking cartoon mouse?

1. Candymonium

2. Storm Runner

3. Wildcat’s Revenge

4. Jolly Rancher Remix

5. Great Bear

6. Fahrenheit

7. Superdooperlooper

8. Lightning Racer

9. Hershey’s Chocolate Tour

10. Trailblazer

11. Laff Trakk

12. Skyrush

13. Wild Mouse

Everything 8 and above was good, everything I’ll say 5 and above was great (albeit nothing breaking into any sort of all-time-top-ten or anything.)

Net/net, I would put Hersheypark as equivalent with Six Flags Great Adventure, in that there’s a few more rides I prefer at Six Flags¹, but Hersheypark is much cleaner and better refurbished².

Also, Did Not Ride, and therefore Can Not Rank:

• Any of the water rides or slides (they were all closed)

• the Monorail or Dry Gulch Railroad

• Comet

• Cocoa Cruiser

• Any other non-rollercoaster

1. Though RIP Kingda Ka

2. Caveat I have not gone to Great Adventure since the Cedar Fair merger, I’ve heard things are already notably better this season
