This video features binaural audio, so wear your headphones for the full enjoyment!

[@sfpdonblem3200]

I came here because I just went to Hershey again after a long time. God I loved this song, it was exactly what made this tour memorable. They took this awesome ride, took away all the personality and fun and made it feel so fake. I will never forgive them for this.

[@Maw0]

Yeah. Now it's some woman doing it on a screen. Not nearly as fun. I miss this version of the ride.

[@mcs-bl6sg]

Sooo much better than the new ride. The old song was Hershey's official theme song. The new song is forgettable and not nearly as catchy.

[@alesiagirona3123]

I agree

[@snickthegreat]

Michael Shipman the new song is trash. The ride now is just total shit and EXTREMELY cheesy

[@onyx8231]

The old song was waaaaay too catchy. It kept going and going, I had to turn the video down halfway through because I could still hear it.

[@kobeangelesdamelio]

I actually prefer the new song

[@acceleratedcreative]

The new song is very easy to get stuck in your head as I used to ride this a lot and just rode the new one

[@r.j.etrogames]

"Taste the Love" ain't even close to this masterpiece.

I went on this ride once when I was like 7 and I STILL remember this song.

They changed it? That’s sad

[@SupermarketSweep777]

@@medicfdumbo Several years ago. But yeah it's a downgrade.

[@Maw0]

@@medicfdumbo They have a little screen with a woman giving the introduction, and they replaced the cows with the new candy mascots. They still have a designated area for the cows, but their names are changed to candy-related names and they don't sing this song anymore.

Thank you for uploading this. I’m glad I can still see what it used to look like before they changed it and ruined my childhood memories. I don’t really like the new version.

[@Scarz1991]

Me and my dad just got on this today. I still prefer this version better.

[@RayzMoto]

Wow I was watching this reliving my childhood lol. So disappointing to read it’s changed. I guess all rides eventually get a refresh 😭

[@SprightlyValentino]

The soundtrack was my favorite part of this version of the ride. I love how it all comes together at about the 6:30 mark, with the rhythm of the factory sound effects matching the music, and the conveyor belts all around and above you. I got goosebumps.

[@khmam]

Maybe the factory sounds are in 4/4 time just like the music is!

[@user-cx8zx5nj5z]

I went on this ride so much throughout my childhood. The soundtrack is so comforting. It sounds and feels like Christmas

[@fnaflolbit1018]

This version is definatly better than what it is now. I was in the area yesterday and we went on this ride. I had no idea it changed completely. Plus I find this song catchier

[@kristinkrebs2725]

THIS is the chocolate world I remember. I was there last week and was disappointed at how many things had changed. It was almost like a movie.

[@Mizaxa]

I can just smell the chocolate smell of this ride, i've not been to chocolate world since the change and im afraid to see the new version

It sucks

[@noellemly]

i can’t express enough how much it means to me that this video exists !! this version of the ride was my entire childhood, and i’m so grateful to see it again how i remember it, like i could run through again and grab another sample of whatever new product they were testing at the end of the ride

[@TrueMarble64]

Same! ^_^

The cows are not scary they are cute

Super Rosalina Broderick he's talking about the really new ones

[@CassidyAnimator]

I know! The new version sucks 😑

[@r4ndomth1ngz]

i went to the ride a week ago. When I saw the cows I legit went wide eyed ad started giving a stare to my mom. A stare that meant "umm are they supposed to be that creepy. Why did we wait 20 minutes for this?"

[@jferson]

Sue Sansom THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVED THE CITIES!! I LITERALLY MISS THIS VERSION SOOO MUCH NOW :((

[@katelynhanft602]

I found a video of the original 😭😭 i’m so happy i hate how hey changed it and i just never go anymore 😭😭

[@danielandlucycartoonsmadne5885]

I KNOW! It's ruined!!!

[@paulstuart7446]

Yeah. They changed the entrance to this stupid “modern” thing. I and my family used to love Hershey park, might still go this year and next. But it won’t ever be enjoyable to the extreme it used to be.

[@agirlhasn0name]

I live in NJ and my family frequently vacationed in Hershey...always went on this ride. One of my favorite things to look forward to. The entire thing, from entrance to gift shop, is awesome. Our photo of me giving my brothers bunny ears in front of the building is now in one of their yearbooks. ;u; And we’ve got several souvenir photos in our photo cabinet. :’D Thought it was longer than 10 mins-but everything seems larger and longer when you’re a kid. Oh, and to say nothing of the insanely catchy and wondrous theme song...”Hershey’s chocolate, Hershey’s chocolate, it’s a Hershey chocolate world...wherever you go, no matter how far, you’re always near, a Hershey bar! Hershey’s, the great American chocolate bar!”

[@AbsurdJANGO]

8:40 is 100% pure nostalgia

[@CrazyManhog]

The music OMG the chills keep coming back for this old thing

[@CrazyManhog]

0:45 This part gives such a warm welcome to the factory tour. The excitement and adventure your about to finally see how Hersheys Chocolate is made! 1:17 I mean look at this! It gives the chills and tears going into the belly of the factory and hearing the exciting (HERE WE GO!) music 3:39 Wow I just love how they made a comeback and especially the Cow with the Camera at the end The ride gave such a JOY how far Mr Hershey has come. Why we celebrate what Hershey has done to make this world a better place. (That is until they decided to go to far with the high tech and replace everything with just plastic and Hershey and his friends. However I don't blame them. Kids now days wouldn't even like the characters and yet being afraid of them instead.)

[@TrueMarble64]

I would have to agree, I actually enjoyed those characters back then before I saw the current renovation. (I'm alright with the current one but i think it is a bit high tech.)

[@CrazyManhog]

​@TrueMarble64 Right to much fake stuff when they couldve kept the realistic machines

[@myshowbiz1234]

Been there many times when I lived in Lancaster, PA...The ride was free and fun. They pipe in chocolate smells and at the end of the tour you exit into a gigantic retail space to buy candy...Do you buy? I never left without being at least fifty bucks poorer (AND FIFTY BUCKS HAPPIER) It is the sweetest place on earth. God bless America, capitalism and chocolate.

Sadly they changed it

[@bphussar]

I'm just going to point out the obvious, that isn't the legitimate factory. All those boxes are empty and go on a continuous loop. The kisses are glued down. The mixer filled with chocolate has probably been there since 2000.

Used to go here every year and always rode the tour a bunch because it was fun. Maybe will go again sometime.

[@FeebleSaturn3]

Grew up nearby and thought about this ride this afternoon for the first time in so many years. I saw a video that was uploaded from last summer (I think) of what they did to this ride and holy crud it slightly made me angry. I had to come back to this one - still after the first remodel I remember as a kid, but this is so much better than whatever the heck is going on there NOW.

[@reiddylans8895]

I also grew up nearby, I remember sometime between 99 and 09 them actually using model trains to transport beans on the tour. Anyone else have this memory?

[@exodia9817]

6:43-6:56 As you can see, we have a bunch of different chocolate treats to choose from. We combine our famous Hershey chocolate with the equally famous Reese's peanut butter to make Reese's peanut butter cups. We combine our chocolate with peppermint and cream to make York Peppermint Patties. We cover wafers in our famous chocolate to make Kit Kat bars. And we combine our chocolate with coconut, or both coconut and almonds, to make both Mounds and Almond Joy.

[@tommysdirtandsoultommytheh1569]

So many changes to Hershey over the years. I miss the old days. I remember back in the 80's the version of this ride that was even older than this video had a robot attached to the front of the car that narrated everything. Actually the whole building was different including the entrance to the ride itself. It was up front near the building entrance.

[@matthewweikert20]

I’ve always liked this version of the tour

[@bruhddyholly]

I literally live in Pennsylvania and just went to this ride today and it was changed by far and yes I noticed it was eight years ago

[@FlawlessBeauty97]

probably because they're smaller. so like the amount of chocolate it takes to make one hershey's bar, can make 10 kisses.
