Another of North America's new for 2020 roller coasters is now complete as Hersheypark just recently placed the final track piece for Candymonium.  The park's new hyper coaster, fabricated by B&M, now has a completed 4,636 foot long course.  The final track piece, seen above, was located just before the brake run at the end of the ride.

Candymonium is the biggest ride in the park's new Chocolatetown entrance area, which is all new for 2020 as well.

Less recently than the instillation of the final track piece, Hersheypark also shared photos of the coaster's three shiny new B&M trains.  There will be three color schemes for the trains, the blue one above represents the famous Hershey's Kisses.  There will be a red train as well, representing Twizzlers.

The third train is orange, signifying Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which can be seen above.  The trains have both milk and dark chocolate color schemes as well, seen on the beautiful B&M clam shell design above.  Candymonium starts with a 210 foot tall lift hill and the three trains will hit a top speed of 76 miles per hour as they race out into the newly developed land the park is utilizing.

The entire Chocolatetown area is a massive renovation of the entire entrance area to Hersheypark, and this recent photo shows that much progress has been made on the area.  You can see Candymonium in the background, along with all the new buildings that fill up this part of the land.  There's even a Hershey's Kiss shaped planter that can be seen here, a fitting way to welcome guests to the land of chocolate!
