Hersheypark

Hey all, I'm going to Hershey tommorow (sunday).

Any suggestions on what order to do things? I'm thinkin Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, then GB and then w/e after that?

Also, I havn't been there since 2 seasons ago. Sunday crowd shouldn't be too bad correct?

Sooperdooperlooper and all the woodies...

Ignore farenheit, just go to stormrunner, it's empty in the mornings.

I don't kmow much about Hershey Park becuase I live in California, but I think Sunday would be the worst time to go.

the genral rule of thumb is that Tuesdays are the emptiest days in pretty much any park.

Yea I wish my family was staying an extra few days...are Sundays better than Saturdays there? Ive only ever gone there on a Saturday.

Usually sundays are better than saturdays.

^Really?

[slosprint]

no, I just made a random useless post based on nothing just to ruin somebody's day. [/sarcasm]

Sundays better in morning because families go to church. And at night because adults have work. During the middle of the day it will be busy.

Yea that's what I was thinkin...I tihnk we're gonna get rides in on Fahrenheit, SR, and GB in the morning and then work our way back to LR and Wildcat and then w/e had low lines on the way out hit a few more times.

The wait for Lightning Racer should not be too bad. With 4 trains running, the line moves really quickly! Ride SooperDooperLooper in the front - amazing G forces in the loop like no other looping coaster.

Tuesdays usually have the fewest people there. Also, if you can run fast enough when they let you into the park, you can make it to the front of the line on Fahrenheit. I managed to on a Saturday.

When I go there I start in the back and move my way to the back to the main gate. But I got the handicapped policy thing going there so I guess star with the least popular first then move your way to the other rides.

Hey all.

Just returned.

Hit Fahrenheit right as we got in and quickly moved to SR and Sidewinder. A quick circuit on Trailblazer and it was off to SDL in the front a GB in the front of course. Then a ride on Comet in the front was very fun. After that we headed to Wildcat which I think is much more enjoyable with the MF trains now as opposed to my last time on it 3 years ago. Wild Mouse was a walk-on and then we hit LR...I won both times (one on each side) and then I video taped everything. Roller Soaker wasn't worth the 2 hour wait seeing I've ridden it before.

I must say that even though we all had a great time, I was somewhat disappointed with the operation of a few rides. Great Bear was dispatching very very slowly and even though there was less than 100 people in line or so I waited at least 20 minutes. I know Fahrenheit is a low capacity ride, but they were also moving quite slowly throughout the day. Aside from those 2 however everything was running great and smoothly so overall an A- for the day. Thanks for the advice.

P.S. Also must add that Wild Mouse had NO braking in the first half at all...so it was probably one of the more enjoyable mice i've ridden.

Glad to read that you had a great time. I agree that the dispatch times for GB are slow. However, it's not always the ops fault. Silly teeny-boppers trying to decide who should ride in what seat are often to blame. The three car trains on Fahrenheit are also a capacity killer.

Absolutely...As great as Mav and Fahrenheit are...the 3 car trains kill the line wait times.

I think fat people are the #1 cause of slow wait times and most other problems.

I agree with Matt's statement.

I third it, only in the USA.
