Can you buy the tickets days in advance? I'm going Sunday and I want to buy them today to save time when I'm down there.


The tickets from Giant are good for any normal operation day for the summer. They are not date stamped.

Enjoy your trip!!!

Thank you very much! It's a good thing too because we decided to cancel for tomorrow because of the weather coming in.

I have been to the park during the week once and I can not remember. Are Fridays usually crowded in the park? Trying to plan a day there next month and do not want to go on the weekend.

The last two times I've been to the park have been Saturdays, and due to luck (read: sorta bad weather) the crowds were pretty light on those days. Pray to the gods of Kinda Crappy Weather to deter people.

^ Go to the back and work forward! But if you are going both days you will have plenty of time. When I go to a park for more than a day I just pick a ride and go in a circle from there. I HATE criss crossing in a park.

Just go and do what comes across your path. Jumping from here to there will only cause you to miss out on the little things that so often go overlooked at the parks.Take the time to look around and see all there is. If you are doing the preview plus the next day you will have more than enough time to "do it all".

If there are any attractions that you think you absolutely must do (Skyrush for example), knock 'em out on the Preview night. That way, you have an entire day to do everything else!

Okie dokie, I need some consumer advice (I think).

Are there any spots in Hersheypark or Chocolate World that have open Wi-fi networks? I'm thinking about sending one of my buddies a souvenir and my mobile phone battery absolutely sucks, so I'm thinking about using iMessage to communicate back and forth with my iPod Touch.
