While I've been hibernating the winter away, Hersheypark has been hard at work on Wildcat's Revenge, the Rocky Mountain Construction conversion of the Wildcat wooden coaster into a modern steel tracked thriller. That's a dramatic introduction, sure, but the new version of the ride looks awesome!
The park released these images a while ago, and honestly has made much progress in the weeks since. Crews did not wait long to start removing the Wildcat's wooden coaster track in order to build up new supports that will handle the crazy steel track they've designed. The first major element to be constructed is the "world's largest underflip," the rise into which can be seen above.
The element comes directly after the ride's 140 foot lift hill/first drop and actually utilizes the former coaster's top-of-the-lift supports and the former first drop. The new element is much taller that the ride's original lift hill, so RMC just built up the supports to match the harrowing height of the new underflip.
When Wildcat's Revenge was first announced the park did not release the full animated point of view ride video, but they have now! Not much is really a surprise in this video as we already knew of the coaster's new layout, but it's always great to get extra excited for a new coaster via the ride's animation. Take a spin below!
Meoooow! Hersheypark has announced the renovation of the park's Wildcat wooden roller coaster, which has already closed to the public as announced, which will see the coaster reopen in 2023 as Wildcat's Revenge. As many predicted, the ride will become a steel tracked hybrid experience, as provided by Rocky Mountain Construction. A considerable bit of the ride's layout will be changed, and the steel track will allow for RMC's thrilling elements to be added, including inversions! Definitely a different ride than the wooden roller coaster that opened in 1996.
Wildcat's Revenge will start with a much different lift hill experience. Gone will be the wooden lift hill the ride had in the past, replace by a truss style steel support structure that stretches 140 feet into the sky. Remember, original Wildcat stood 106 feet tall, so the new ride is gaining quite a bit of height. The ride's first drop will plunge the trains down at a steep 82 degrees, sending the trains flying along the red track at 62 miles per hour.
From there the trains will head up into an underflip element - described as the largest of its king - that utilizes the area of the old ride's top-of-the-lift-hill. The underflip has the trains invert as they climb only to immediately begin to curve and descend in one fluid maneuver. Next up is a giant air-time hill, which will no doubt be pretty forceful in the best of ways.
The rest of Wildcat's Revenge's 3,510 foot long layout includes several wave turns, and three more inversions, a large stall element and then two corkscrew kinda zero-g rolls, it's hard to tell for sure as the official POV animation has not yet been released. But when all is said and done there will be four inversions on the coaster. The ride will feature three trains with some really awesome theming on the front - as seen in the above image.
While we wait for next summer for the coaster to open you can check out below the preview footage that the park released for now!
Hersheypark has announced that they will be permanently retiring Wildcat, one of the park's wooden roller coasters, on Sunday July 31st, 2022. The park posted the news on their social media channels and asked fans if they had any ideas as to what the park can do with "3,100 feet of wooden track." Quickly Rocky Mountain Construction posted that they have a couple of ideas. You can draw your own conclusion there, but the future of the ride seems pretty clear at this point. Oh, and Hersheypark said they will have more details "later this year" - if you were just closing and tearing down a ride what additional details would there be?
While we wait for official confirmation of what Hersheypark plans to do with Wildcat, let's reminisce. The coaster opened in 1996 and was Great Coasters International's first big project. I recall seeing the above ad in trade magazines that being thrilled at what looked like a layout of a ride from decades ago, and not really seen since then. All those smooth twists and turns looked thrilling, and indeed they were! It was even more exciting to go see the ride under construction, also pictured above, well before the 1996 season even started. The ride has become rough in the decades since it opened, and perhaps its next chapter will help smooth things out.
The coaster stands 106 feet tall, features a 85 foot first drop and a top speed of 50 miles per hour. The exact track length is 3,183 and the coaster is named after Hersheypark's first coaster.
Hersheypark has announced that the theme park's two new attractions - the Jolly Rancher Remix coaster and Mix'd Flavored by Jolly Rancher - will both open on Saturday May 28th, during Memorial Day weekend. Both themed after Jolly Rancher candies, one attraction is a total makeover of one of the park's existing roller coasters, and the other is a brand new family thrill ride.
Mix'd Flavored by Jolly Rancher is a new flat ride the features spinning arms that look like they might collide, however that's all in the fun of the mixing attraction (seen in the first photo up top). Riders will sit back to back as the arms spin and the attraction is sure to be memorizing for those watching it from the ground. There are not many of this style of ride in the U.S. at the moment, so it will be great to have another one open up.
The other photos in this article are of the Jolly Rancher Remix coaster, which is a renovation of the park's existing Boomerang roller coaster. The new attraction features a bright paint job reflecting the flavors of the Jolly Rancher candies, but has some extra treats as well. A new tunnel has been added (see middle photo) which features both special lighting and scents that randomly change each time the train is dispatched. So while inverting 6 times both forward and backward, guests will also smell scents like Watermelon and Green Apple.
Jolly Ranchers are very 'in' this year at Hersheypark, as the popular theme park has announced two new attractions themed on the famous candies. Seen above, the park will totally repaint and retheme their 1991 Vekoma Boomerang coaster, formerly known as Sidewinder, into the Jolly Rancher Remix. The ride will still invert passengers a total of six times during the 90 second ride, but the coaster has received some interesting upgrades.
Aside from the bright new paint job, which features the colors of the Jolly Rancher candies including bright green track, the coaster will also have a new tunnel installed with special effects. According to Hersheypark, "each ride is different with five randomized flavor rides like
Watermelon or Green Apple, complete with different music, lights and
scents for an only-in-Hershey sensory experience." Sounds like a sweet-smelling take on one of the park's coasters!
Located under the boomerang element of the Jolly Rancher Remix coaster, a new family flat ride will also debut, named Mix'd Flavored by Jolly Rancher. I'm sure most guests will just call the ride Mix'd, as that's a great description of the ride's visuals. The attraction is one of Zamperla's Nebulaz rides, which the manufacturer describes as a "visual riddle."
Mix'd has four arms that seat riders at the end of each, and the arms "swing about horizontal axes in a circular motion while the central tower rotates around itself," as described by Zamperla. It's a mesmerizing ride to look at, but still family friendly as passengers do not invert during the ride. The seats at the end of the arms face back-to-back and the ride spins both forwards and backwards, so no matter where you sit you get both directional experiences.
Both Jolly Rancher Remix and Mix'd Flavored by Jolly Rancher are set to open this summer at Hersheypark.
Hersheypark has been given the green light by the state of Pennsylvania to open, and quickly announced plans to welcome back visitors. The park will open for season pass holders on July 1st and 2nd, then open to the public on July 3rd.
As with other large attractions, Hersheypark has also unveiled a set of substantial changes that will be in place in order to follow regulates by the CDC and state officials. These include touchless temperature screenings upon entering the park, the requirement of face masks to be work by guests and employees, and a reservation system that will be used to monitor attendance levels.
The Boardwalk, which is Hersheypark's water park area, will also be opening alongside the theme park. Other attractions associated with the Hershey Resort, such as Chocolate World, are already operating with restrictions in place.
The park has also made it clear that they plan to open Candymonium, their new B&M hyper coaster, on July 3rd as well. The ride is the most thrilling addition to the park's new Chocolatetown expansion, which is a massive transformation of the park's entrance area.
As construction projects have begun to be allowed again in the State of Pennsylvania, Hersheypark has picked up where they left off on their massive Chocolatetown expansion. Before the construction pause the park had finished the track and supports for Candymonium, and now we have footage from some of the coaster's first test runs!
The park has shared this footage on all their various social media outlets, and it's great to see a new coaster roaring through the tracks! I must say that Candymonium looks to have some nice speed through its layout, especially in the turnaround. As with other hyper coasters, air-time will be one of the main draws for the coaster. With a multitude of bunny hills throughout the course, this ride is sure to deliver.
Here is another video of Candymonium testing, featuring plenty of footage from different angles. Some of the best views can be found at the end, so be sure not to miss those.
Candymonium is one of B&M's popular hyper coasters, standing 210 feet tall, with a maximum speed of 76 miles per hour and 4,636 feet of track. While no official opening date for Hersheypark has been released, I'm sure plenty of fans will visit the park this summer to check out the new ride.
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!
Hersheypark's mega-2020 expansion, named Chocolatetown, recently was blanketed in a pretty layer of snow, fitting for January in Pennsylvania. The park took advantage of the beautiful construction site and took to the skies to film some awesome drone footage, and promptly shared it with us all.
Not only are we able to see how far along all of Chocolatetown is, but we also get a nice status update of the park's new signature roller coaster, the B&M hyper named Candymonium.
The park had topped off the ride a while back, so we already knew the coaster had made a lot of progress. These shots let us see that track and supports have extended all the way out to the ride's turnaround, which can be seen being constructed in the above shot. The coaster will have a traditional high turn around element that jogs slightly to the right of the main layout. The track then points the trains back toward the main park - it's neat to see how many times the ride crosses over the stream that runs under it!
Chocolatetown is looking very nice as well, with the major new buildings all up and enclosed. You can make out many highlights of the area, Candymonium's station is at the bottom, you can also see the new fountain that overlooks the stream and the Carousel building as well.
The $150 million expansion is going to completely transform the entrance area for Hersheypark in 2020, allowing for faster entry and much more breathing room. It also will feature a host of new dining and retail locations, all of which will offer mouth watering Hershey treats.
Keep up with the progress on Chocolatetown via the park's website, and check out the whole aerial video here.
We just covered the latest photos of Candymonium at Hersheypark the other day, but since then the park has topped off the ride! That's some pretty big news, so we can't pass up sharing a bit more about the ride from the footage the park released to mark the occasion.
After the top of the lift hill was carefully put into place Candymonium was proudly standing 210 feet over Hersheypark. The video that the park sent out had some neat drone footage that gives us amazing views of not only Candymonium but also the progress that has been made on Chocolatetown. You can see the new buildings for the area spread out in the construction zone, and of course Candymonium is looking pretty good too!
This aerial shot is the first good look we've had at work on the rest of Candymonium's layout, and you can see tons of footers for the out and back portion of the ride already in place. The ride will cut directly through nearly the entire length of the area that Hersheypark gained in recent years. I can only imagine how this area will be filled with additional park expansions in the future!
Here is the full video that Hersheypark released of their brand new B&M hyper coaster being topped off!
Candymonium, Hersheypark's new B&M hyper coaster, is growing quickly under the pretty blue fall sky, as seen in a batch of new photos posted to the park's Construction Zone website. The page has been added to the robust offerings of the Chocolatetown website, which is dedicated to the massive expansion that the park will open in the spring of 2020.
We previously saw that the park had started to build the coaster's lift hill, and these updated photos show that they've also been installing a lot of other track. B&M hypers often go up in order, from lift hill to final brakes, so it's interesting to see the ride going up in different segments. Above is Candymonium's upward helix that drops into an outwardly banked fall, before zooming up and around a new iconic fountain that will be built.
Another photo from the group was taken a bit before most of that track went up, but shows off the great elevation changes that can be found in the area of the ride. While these were visible in the original plans for the expansion they're even more noticeable in these recent photos.
Candymonium will tower over Hersheypark with a lift hill standing 210 feet tall. The ride's first drop will send the trains over the 4,636 foot long course at speeds of 76 miles per hour. Riders will be treated to many air-time hills along the way, a staple feature of these kind of coasters.
Chocolatetown will not only include a totally new entrance to Hersheypark, but also several food and retail locations. Recently announced dining additions include The Sweeterie Confectionery Kitchen, Milton's Ice Cream Kitchen, and the large Chocolatier Restaurant Bar & Patio. Those looking for anything Hershey related will also enjoy the Hersheypark Supply Co. store.
It's time for Hersheypark's skyline to change forever! The park has starting to build the lift hill for Candymonium, their new for 2020 B&M hyper roller coaster. The photo was taken from far back in the undeveloped land that the park recently gained, and makes the height of the ride look even more impressive. When complete this lift hill will stand 210 feet over Hersheypark, and there's still plenty of more lift to go up before the top is reached.
Candymonium will stretch 4,636 feet in length and as hyper coasters tend to do, will feature a bunch of air-time hills during the layout. It was pass near the main plaza of the new Chocolatetown near the end of the ride, swooping around an iconic fountain. If you look close in the background of this photo you can see the giant new building that has gone up to support many of the food and beverage outlets that will be featured in Chocolatetown.
Since the ride was announced in the summer it might be helpful to check out the video of the ride that the park released as a refresher. Candymonium will be the star attraction of Chocolatetown, but the massive development will certainly change the look of Hersheypark forever. Coaster construction should continue quickly now that the lift hill is going up!
Today was Hersheypark's big 2020 roller coaster announcement, when Candymonium was officially revealed to the world. A centerpiece to the park's massive new Chocolatetown development, Candymonium will be a Bolliger & Mabillard hyper coaster that's completely themed to Hershey's candies from head to toe.
Candymonium will make its presence known soon after visitors enter the park's new entrance in 2020, with chocolate brown track and silver supports rising to a height of 210 feet over the park. That height will make it Hersheypark's tallest roller coaster to date, and as the park's 15th coaster (by their count which includes a water coaster), they will have the most coasters in any park in the Northeast.
The coaster will feature a candy-themed station filled with popular Hershey characters and bright colors. The park says it will be their "most immersive coaster station to date," with "extensive theming." Each of the trains will be themed to a popular candy, including Twizzlers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey's Kisses. After the ride's first drop the trains will plunge downward at a top speed of 76 miles per hour. A large air-time hill will follow, with a horseshoe turnaround after that. There will be a total of 7 air-time hills throughout the 4,636 feet of track.
The ride's path will cut directly into the new space recently acquired by the park, covering 7 acres in total. Other design elements include a 123 degree Hammerhead Curve and a Panoramic Banked Curve that surrounds a central fountain in Chocolatetown. The ride time is estimated to be 2 minutes and 26 seconds, and Candymonium will have a 54 inch height requirement.
The park also released this preview video of the coaster, check it out below!
Hersheypark will announce their brand new roller coaster, opening in 2020, on July 24th and you can be there to see it! The park will allow the first 500 guests in line at 10:30 am at the Chevrolet Music Box Theatre inside to watch the announcement live. The park also shared the above photo, blurry we know, but quite obviously a view from the front seat of the car looking down the first drop toward the ground.
The ride has been well known about for a while now, and is expected to be a B&M Hyper Coaster themed around Hershey's candies. We don't know the exact statistics of the attraction though, those will certainly come when the park announces their 15th roller coaster in just over a week.
You can get a refresher on the layout of the new coaster in many of the images that Hersheypark has shared of Chocolatetown, for instance the one above shows the entire layout. True to B&M hyper style, the ride features a tall first drop, several large air-time hills, and a helix around a water fountain that is central to the park's new entrance.
Just in the past week the ride has actually gone vertical, with the track for the final part of the brake run being installed. To get a view of the chocolate brown track in place, check out this video.
A visit to Hersheypark isn't complete without stopping in Hershey's Chocolate World, originally a corporate 'visitor center' that has over time expanded to be a major attraction of its own. Well known for its Chocolate Tour dark ride, which takes visitors through the chocolate factory and of course has singing cows, Chocolate World offers several other attractions along with dining and retail options.
New this month, specifically May 20th, Hershey's Unwrapped will debut as the latest featured attraction dedicated to chocolate. Described as a "tasting journey" but also a "theatrical experience," Hershey's Unwrapped will require a separate ticket to enjoy.
The experience will be hosted by two of Hershey's "most dynamic Tasting authorities," and last approximately 30 minutes. Chocolate World further describes the attraction as including "the bean to bar and everything in between, this all new attraction is sure to dazzle your taste buds, fill you with laughter and sweeten you with Hershey heartwarming moments."
The combination of immersive theater along with tasting chocolate sounds quite intriguing to me, and the attractions that Chocolate World has created in the past have been unique and great fun for the whole family. I have no doubt this new one, though I think there's still more details to be shared on exactly what we can expect, will fit in well with all the others.
Other attractions within Hershey's Chocolate World include the aforementioned Chocolate Tour dark ride, a 4D Chocolate Move, a Create Your Own Candy Bar experience, and more.
To coincide with the official groundbreaking on the massive Chocolatetown expansion at Hersheypark, the property has also updated their website to give us new views of the $150 million addition.
Set to open in 2020, the project is so large that the park has already started construction on it. It seems the theme park will be using a temporary entrance during the 2019 season as the current one will be demolished by then.
The above aerial image shows the entire Chocolatetown expansion, and you can also make your way through the area and see what will be built using the park's new interactive map.
Another bonus from the new images that have been added are some additional views of the new roller coaster that will anchor Chocolatetown. What is expected to be a B&M hyper coaster, themed to Hershey's candies, will feature brown track and silver supports. A major part of the coaster, a helix near the end of the ride, will surround a giant fountain in the middle of the park entrance plaza.
Images of Chocolatetown from afar show the entire layout of the coaster, which is very much in line with many of the other B&M hypers out there. The ride will have a steep first drop (expected to be above 200 feet) a huge air-time hill, a hammerhead turn around, then many smaller hills, a helix or two and then the brakes.
Hersheypark just had the groundbreaking for Chocolatetown recently, and since then has started major demolition work inside the former entrance area. Work had already begun previously, but now things have kicked into high gear.
Browsing some Hersheypark fans groups on Facebook reveals plenty of photos of the work. Looks like most of the buildings are going to be quickly smashed to bits. Above is a photo from a gallery on Hersheypark Connoissuers, and here is another aerial gallery (drone footage, not posting here as I can't be sure they were taken legally).
One last thing I wanted to mention. If you're still curious about how the new entrance will fit over the existing one, then make sure to scroll down on the new map page the park debuted. It has several images, like the one above, showing just how the park's entrance facilities will change in 2020. Pretty neat to play around with!
Hersheypark has made their grand announcement, revealing that a new 23 acre section of the park is being developed for 2020, named Hershey's Chocolatetown.
Designed to be a place where guests can dine, shop, play and more, Chocolatetown will also totally redefine the way that visitors enter both Hersheypark and enjoy the Chocolate World visitors areas.
This aerial view of Chocolatetown shows the entire development in one shot, focusing on the new entrance area to the park. A key component to the plan is a much more modern, larger and friendly entrance to the theme park. The front gates and associated plaza will be moved forward toward the tram drop off area, which is also right near the entrance to the visitors center.
This ground level view shows what visitors will be greeted with when they start their day at Hersheypark. With amenities such as ticket windows, rentals, guest services and more available well outside the entrance, the flow of the area will be greatly improved. Also located in the plaza will be a big new Kettle Corn location, accessible without entering Hersheypark.
Located just to the left of the park entrance will be a large structure (seen above), open year-round, that will hold several additions in 2020. First, there will be a flagship Hershey store, 10,000 square feet in size and filled with merchandise unique to the property.
Also in the building will be a confectionery kitchen along with an ice cream parlor. A large part of the structure will also hold the biggest full service restaurant and bar that Hersheypark has ever had. The restaurant will have a patio space that overlooks Chocolatetown, serving as another great gathering spot for visitors. With year round operations, these amenities will make the visitor center experience, although in a separate structure, sweeter than ever.
Once inside the park, visitors will find a large Hershey Kiss shaped fountain waiting for them, with a giant roller coaster zooming through the plaza. The fountain is designed to be a perfect photo spot, which looks wonderful from these renderings. It overlooks the station of the park's new coaster, and has a steep drop-off beyond it to the creek below.
Curving to the left, visitors will find the park's classic Carousel (which will turn 100 next year!) moved to a prominent new location within Chocolatetown. Also along this pathway is another new building, a 2,200 square foot full service Starbucks with both indoor and outdoor seating. The renderings show a couple other smaller buildings in the area that were not yet detailed, so there may be even more to come as the development proceeds.
For those familiar with Hersheypark's current entrance, most of it will be removed to make way for all of Chocolatetown's additions. The structures marked above with a red X will be removed, and land currently blocked by the road (since removed) will be used for the plaza and roller coaster station.
And speaking of the park's new roller coaster, Hersheypark is only saying that it will be the property's 15th coaster, and will be their fastest, tallest, longest and sweetest coaster to date. The park's animations for the expansion show the ride's station (above).
Different parks of the images that were released give a good look at the ride's layout, and from these it certainly appears to be a B&M hyper coaster - standing around 220 feet tall. The steep first drop is followed by a large air-time hill, a carousel turn around, more air-time hills and an upward helix. The trains look to then dive down toward the creek and swoop through the entrance plaza before the final brakes.
You can also see in the animation that there is an orange, red and blue train on the chocolate colored tracks (with silver supports), which matches up nicely to the Reese's, Twizzlers and Kisses images on the station concept art. While more details on the coaster won't be released until next summer, it certainly appears as though the ride will be as Hershey themed as they come!
Here is the full animation of Chocolatetown that was released with the news today. You can really tell how dramatically different the entrance area to the park will be once the expansion opens in 2020.
In all the park is spending a whopping $150 million on Chocolatetown, and although the entrance will be heavily modified it will still function to get visitors in the park all next year. Construction will start in January of 2019, and Hersheypark promises to release new details of the are in batches over the next 18 months.
