I can't wait to get out to Hershey this year! The park looks fantastic, although I still think Great Bear and Storm Runner need some new paint. Pretty soon Storm Runner will be pure pink! :lolr: Anyways, great photos Derek, looks like you guys had an awesome time!

I probably guessed that you'd go on the opening day. It looks cool how they decorated the Kissing Tower. These pics could be a good reference for my RCT recreation.

Great Trip Report, and great photos.

I'm trying to convince my parents when we are in PA to take a side trip to Hershey because it looks so awesome.

Awesome pictures Derek! It was great hanging out with you on Sunday. We had a blast! No lines, awesome weather, lots of chocolate, and some serious GCI goodness. I still give a slight edge to Thunderhead, but Lightning Racer was very close and Wildcat was great too. Storm Runner was fantastic (although not quite as good as Xcelerator) Great Bear was a solid B&M invert, and Sooperdooperlooper was very fun also.

All in all, a very fun park that we will definately be visiting again, along with all the other great parks in PA. Hopefully I'll have my pics up in the next day or two.

looked like you had a great first weekend up there! I've got a question for you, do you think big people can fit onto Storm Runner? I ask this because I'm planning on going there sometime in the next little while and i want to know if I'd have any problems getting onto that ride, please message me back.

Yeah, it's "big people friendly."

Looks like a great park. I wish we would have something like that over here in Europe... Maybe a Milka-Land or Haribo-Park :-)
