Hershey Park in the Dark Photo TR

[Wild 1]

I went to Hershey park on October 25th and it was great. It was only $22 to get in and all the coasters were running all their trains (Not Trailblazer but that never has a line anyway), that made it so almost all the coasters had 5 minute waits or less. First we went to the Trailblazer for a warm up coaster, got off it then went to the Comet. This ride for some reason had the longest wait in the park at 15 minutes, but it still was a good smooth ride. Then we went to Wildcat because one of my friends had never ridden it. When we got in line they were putting the second train on the track and testing it so many people left the line, then after 2 train loads of people it broke down, and we waited in line for ten minutes for them to fix it, By the time they did most people had gotten out of the line so we got spent less time in line. Great ride and we rode it 3 times. Next was Lightning racer, a good ride but just over to quickly for me. Then back down to Trailblazer to calm us down, after that was the Sooperduperlooper, no line at all and my friend first Looping coaster, we almost had to drag him on it but he loved it. Next was the Great Bear which we rode 3 times, at night this thing is just crazy! Then was Fahrenheit, and it is a great coaster but a little shaky. Then due to lack of time we rode the looper again and Comet again. This ride on Comet was really fun because while going up the lift hill I realized that my seatbelt was really loose. Then we had to leave.

Wildcat, you enjoyed, but Lightning Racer was too short?
Makes no sense. Lightning Racer is longer.

ANyway, great trip report! Great photos too.

Makes no sense. Lightning Racer is longer.

I know but for some reason it just felt faster, however I did rate it higher then Wildcat. It is not bad at all and a smooth ride, I just like rougher rides like wildcat. The line flies really fast and they were some of the best ride ops in the park. The worst award has to go to Comet's crew, the guy who lets the ride go was not paying attention and while the people who checks the lap bars were singnaling that the ride was ready to go and the other train was on the brakes in the station.

That Fahrenheit sign is seriously cheesy. It's almost as bad as the banner at Maverick for most of this year, or the Lapland park!
