Hersheypark looked like a simpler park on the verge of becoming a major destination back then.

Wow, this brings back so many great memories as a kid. We couldn't afford Disney World, so we went to Hershey only once a year for my birthday. To think we used to be able to ride everything in 1 day...nowadays that's quite a challenge without paying for the line passes. Regardless, I think it's still a great park.

Thanks for the upload. 1993 doesn't seem that long ago until you see a video from then.

Wow talk about nostalgia! I made the tapes for the Flying Falcon that year! 1993 was the season a PA system was added to play music for riders! Thanks for the upload! 😀

i wish more parks had observation towers

[@disturbedkrazey]

Love it! Childhood memories unlocked!

Why would they get rid of the white water rapid? That was a stupid decision, that’s usually one of the most popular rides at any park.

[@MackenzieBroderick]

It says “It was replaced by a wave pool called The Shore and a lazy river called Intercoastal Waterway - this was part of the “SeaQuel” expansion to The Boardwalk that opened for the 2009 season.”

Love that they were playing Queen in the park!

[@masterbuilder8849]

Actually it was known as canyon river rapids before the water park I am looking forward to taking a vacation there

The narration is great! I love the "yinzer" accent! :-)

[@jh1328]

Such a dad move to overexplain the height meters and how the rides work. 😂

This must be 1996. The wildcat opened that year and I can see a 1996 Chevy S10 Blazer on display in the park

[@johnfoltz8183]

Sadly, as of 7-31-2022, Wildcat has closed for good. 😢

[@MackenzieBroderick]

And now as of 8-21-2023 It’s now Wildcats revenge and got that RMC treatment

[@chrispa9573]

Wildcat is not better than the Comet lol
