Hersheypark Vlog June 2019

[@JC-bh6gu]

genuinely my favourite people on KZbin, perfect duo.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@WAMMO678]

My favourite thing about these road trip videos is the “we’re really tired” before “let’s find some chicken tenders” and Alex demolishing a whole pizza 😂 Admire the dedication of pushing through this trip while your body is probably running entirely on deep fried chicken and RMC hype

[@AlexHallGB]

Me & my partner saw Alex at Alton Towers last week & he was so polite & lovely to meet and gave us so much of his time. Please can u pass on our love and support to him, the internet is a cruel place sometimes. We miss his adventures with u and Charlotte on the blogs, he is ur Dec to ur ant lol

[@furgulley8077]

That was very nice of jeff bezos to show you and alex around the park!

[@rondalmcdondal4192]

This channel is one of the most entertaining on KZbin. It's just a guy and some friends that review theme parks, but they find a way to be entertaining, and that's pretty cool.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

I was always amazed by the support structure on Great Bear.

[@Balootoyoutoo]

No one ever talks about how Shawn literally uploads a full length 1 hour vlog nearly every day, the guys schedule must be nuts. We really appreciate your hard work as always Shawn!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much!

Stormrunner: "Im short" ... Stealth: "Hold my drink"

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Another fantastic looking park. Thank you for covering so much and putting out these really detailed vlogs. I don’t know where you get your energy from Shawn, especially living off a diet of chicken tenders and fries! Watching these road trip vlogs has opened my eyes to so many fantastic looking places. I will definitely be planning some middle America trips to take in parks and learn about the cities and states along the way.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@ianb1968]

Had a great couple of visits to this park in 2009 when I was living in NYC. Definitely worth the drive.

Thank you for watching Charli

[@jamesstanley9082]

Oh Shawn we visited Hersheys Chocolate World ride in 1988 on our honeymoon, no we didn't go there for are honeymoon, but visited it whilst on a coach tour of the eastern states. I think we were going from Harrisburg PA to I cant remember where, but chocolate world looks just the same with the smell of the chocolate. We didn't visit the theme park, but like shawn we do not think much of Hershey chocolate would rather have cadburys! Jim and Sue

[@teddym2808]

Sorry just commenting as I am going along LOL.. yeah, I really like great bear also.. underrated coaster.. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Zatoka.]

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO APPRECIATES GREAT BEAR!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Revox67]

whoa! Those Paqui Cool Salsa Verde chips at 1:08:46 are THE GREATEST CHIPS EVER! You should've reached back and snagged that bag!

[@tmh943]

Hershey used to have a rapids which they took out to expand the water park. It was unique for me as it had the first large scale dryer as you came off the ride. The blowers were awesome and got you dry fast since the rapids were a complete soak. The other reason they had the dryer was the unique water coaster. That was a riot of a ride. I am glad that I got to ride it before it was removed.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information!

[@silvaroo]

Fantastic vlog of Hersheypark! Glad to know you all had a wonderful time :)

[@cc-fy8dw]

40:38 one of the funniest moments on this trip

[@Aidan_minotti]

As a Hershey coaster operater, this park is amazing, and so fun to work at, it’s got the best b and m invert, skyrush, candymonium, stormy, cats revenge, farenhight, and the park entrance looks so much different than it does today, im 17 now so I was 13 or 14 when they had the old entrance, dam, it’s making me feel old even tho I’m now

[@ibeg1951]

Great vid. Everybody say stormrunner is short...but forget about rides like stealth...red force etc. For a intamin accelerator it is not short. I mean if one can use the same reasoning...than top thrill dragster could have been waaaay better if it had 1 or 2 more air time hills and a hellix ..

[@boweryboy07]

Dude ate an entire cheese pizza and then complained about having a stomach ache? 😐 And what’s up with his milk obsession? Anyhow, love the vlogs. Glad you guys had a great visit to the US.

Leave the Milkman alone, despite his review on SkyRush, I always get the big glass of milk at Dollywood, and have to wait an hour to ride. Lol.

[@stephanievitale1482]

Really enjoy your videos. Hope I can travel one day to visit roller coasters

[@coasterport]

Hersheypark really needs to consider giving Wildcat the RMC treatment

[@arkitect156]

It needs a re tracking that's it honestly cause in the front cars the airtime is great and for the most part at least for me smoothish

[@edwdscissorhands]

GCI made a statement saying that they wouldn't allow RMC to treat it.

[@Jackie25637488857657]

Those monorail trains look awfully familiar. They brought back a lot of good memories because they used to be at Magic Mountain and now Magic Mountain have no monorail, but some of the abandoned tracks still exist in some areas of the park. That track looks exactly the same. It's a shame though because as big and as hot as Magic Mountain gets they really need a transport system.

[@stephensworldofadventure]

Love the chocolate myself 🍫😂 Park looks really nice. America do have some lovely looking theme parks

[@SirRobertDole2]

My dad lost his glasses on that wild mouse because someone suggested he put them in his pocket to be "safer." They actually let us down there to find them and we did, but he always wears his glasses on rides now instead of pocketing them lol.

[@attractionshubno1]

Another great Vlog from your USA 🇺🇸 Strata trip Shawn

[@rossh688]

My number 1 park. Just love this place. I actually have Skyrush and The Voyage ranked as my number 1 coasters. I live near Detroit which is 8 hours from Hersheypark and would rather go here than to Cedar Point which is only 2 hours away. As far as Skyrush goes, I was there in July. We got in for the last 90 minutes of one night and marathoned Skyrush for an hour. I got in the hour early the next morning and rode it for 75 minutes straight. Then, for the last hour of the 2nd night, I marathoned it again. It's definitely a "hold on for dear life" ride. I have only ridden close to 300 coasters, all in North America, so, I apparently need to travel abroad if there are coasters much better. As far as Great Bear goes, it really needed 1 or 2 more inversions at the end. It just dies off too much. Love the helix at the top and the fact that there is no dreaded cobra roll, though. Anyways, awesome park. I always thought it was just a family park with weak rides until I visited for the first time in 2016. Boy, was I surprised.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@venessa130]

My husband calls Storm Runner “half a coaster” Just when you’re enjoying it, it ends quickly LOL! This is our Home Park and we absolutely loved seeing your reactions! We’re also not big fans of Skyrush nor Wildcat (I do appreciate its history,) but our favorites there are Great Bear, Storm Runner, Comet, Racers and Super Dooper Looper. Amazing video! Can’t wait to see all the other reactions to the other parks we have also been to! Especially Kneobals and Busch Gardens.

[@elliotlusty5171]

Great video and keep up the good work 👍

[@porkins74]

1:18:14 that woman was so confused! hahahaha

[@Peterwrayadventures]

Its alwats good to see you get locals etc to go with you to make the park wasier to get round as some parks your 1st trip to. Thanks for sharing. The bear has got it covered.

[@pproteinc]

Milk? In that heat? Oh no I’d be sick. I do love how Great Bear growls while its traverses the course

[@scottnelson9]

Yep! Every B&M in existence.

[@glmalkus22]

I only ever drink milk so i'm with Alex 😂

[@eriklakeland3857]

Love your use of “traverses” it read as gracefully as a B&M

[@jamesjetter2016]

Did you notice the street lamps in Hershey? They are shaped like Hershey Kisses (some with wrappers, some without). I remember going to Hershey Park as a little kid (the park is about 100 miles from where I grew up) and being fascinated by those street lamps. You can see the street lamps from the monorail. Also, the monorail used to stop at the actual chocolate factory. Originally you could tour the actual factory. But they stopped doing that years and years ago due to corporate espionage and they opened Chocolate World.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love this!

[@jacoblevi2829]

I love Hershey park at night it’s so calm and beautiful

[@GrantH2606]

I wish I had friends shared my love for rollercoasters

[@spaceistheplace2293]

During the summer brief rainstorms are very common in America. They’ll come up quickly, rain for about 20 minutes, then leave. Also, I count my credits but I’d much rather get re rides on Fahrenheit and Storm Runner than wait 20 minutes for a kids coaster.

[@tiernanwoollaston1669]

U might not like Hershey chocolate, but c'mon u gotta admit that Reeses peanut butter cups are the absolute dogs bollocks ;)

[@b.b-notebrown]

Hershey Park is a gem! I truly admire how they have maintained its classic charm, while updating the grounds with new attractions. The new area is going to be spectacular! I can't wait to see how they continue to expand this beautiful park. Great Bear is my favorite ride there. Sky Rush is also great. My favorite aspect of Hershey, regarding its roller coasters, specifically their wooden coasters, is their usage of the classic-style chaser lights. THAT is what makes a trip to a theme/amusment park memorable...how the park takes on new identity at night!! Great vlog!! Keep them coming!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really is an awesome park!

[@WapoStudios]

Skyrush takes a few hours to warm up. If you go on it in the afternoon or later in the day, it’s a top 5 coaster.

[@ElementerChannel]

I went on a hot day and rode it at about 11 am and it was phenomenal. Later in the day it still rode amazing.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a good ride, but we preferred other coasters at the park!

[@adief1353]

Great bear is a back row ride in my opinion

[@rcky6506]

7:05 First? Literally everything you’ve said has been controversial

[@flaffstar_99]

Ahahha true

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We're always very honest on our channel and like to share our genuine opinion. Overall Hersheypark was excellent and we had one of the best days of the trip there!

[@corkscrewfoley]

You say you prefer airtime over inversions, but then say SkyRush wasn't as good as Flying Ace because it didn't have inversions? What the deuce?

[@WAMMO678]

I mean I think his point was that it as a specific coaster type is better with inversions, and especially since he went on flying aces (and baco I guess) first I imagine SkyRush not having any inversion it’d feel like it was missing something or lacking that same intensity.

[@corkscrewfoley]

@@WAMMO678 Yeah, too true. That said, Flying Ace & SkyRush are two different layouts. Apples & oranges.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I do prefer airtime over inversions, but that still didn't make Skyrush one of my favourites. This ride type benefits from inversions in my opinion, however I still enjoyed it and it did warm up later on in the day!

[@zacharystewart5344]

I mean personally I would prefer Flying Ace over Skyrush as well as Skyrush is simply a torture machine for anyone 6ft or over imo

[@ChloeClements34]

Great Vlog, just a reminder for Cadbury lovers in chocolate world they have small dedicated section to Cadbury. Most of the good stuff is there and it was fun trying familiar yet slightly alternative versions of Cadbury goodness.

[@RyanWeaver-i3j]

sean i need your help. what american park would yiou go to if you had 3 to choose from?? im thinking out of these options sfmm sfga + hershey weve done cedar point so many times kings dominion/busch gardens

[@mrasmussen90]

Hershey Park has some of the best staff hands down. We’ve never had a bad experience there.

[@howenator]

My Skyrush afternoon ride, which I waited an hour for and was in the back right seat, was ranked behind Stormrunner. I felt like I got no airtime. Then I got 3 consecutive night rides, bumping it up until my favorite coaster at the park and my current #3. I felt the airtime and laterals and the intensity. The drop is one of my favorites, with that crazy banking and that compact turn. I don’t care about the pain on my thighs it inflicts.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It certainly warms up later in the day!

[@derekhart3308]

Been there 3 times over the years! Got family there! My cousin has dairy farm and some of there milk goes to Hershey.

Just realised that when Candymonium opens, Hersheypark will have more hyper coaster model coasters than the whole of the UK. A bit sad for us ngl haha

[@scare.3982]

Cough cough Thorpe park u seeing this. Yeah, B&M hyper coaster please

[@MattA-nz9ze]

@Eric Thomason Exactly! I haven't actually ridden the Big One but I've heard it's not great ngl

[@Formula1st]

Or an RMC or a big intamin launched like stealth but bigger ( can’t remember the name) or a big wing coaster or a big dive coaster or a coaster like the famous one at phantasialand that I can’t remember the name of

[@scare.3982]

Formula 1st it’s called Xcelerator. But the thing is, stealth needs to look like the big ride in the park tho so maybe something like expedition GeForce

[@RS-dd2wi]

The uk needs some major investment into rides. Thrope Park hasn’t had one since 2012; they waste money on stupid stuff - bouncy castles or e-sports. If they’re not careful everyone will just take a cheap flight to Walibi Holland, Parc Asterix or Liseberg etc instead because they’re better parks

Hershey's my favorite park to go to, in fact I go there twice a year once for summer and the other for Christmas Candylane which is amazing, the whole park covered with lights and decorations, plus a light show timed to music over the creek near SooperDooperLooper and Great Bear and they have reindeer there too. I'm so glad that you guys loved Hersheypark, it's pretty hard to hate it there. I love ZooAmerica as well. One of the things I love about this park is usually the people in line with you are very nice to talk to and the ride operators and staff are very nice and friendly, there's this one time I was in line for SooperDooperLooper and this one ride operator was getting the people in line to sing Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer it was pretty cool, he also would ask the riders how it was when it came back into the station. Great Bear is my favorite roller coaster there and of all the ones I've been on which isn't quite as much as what you, Alex and Brett have. I also really like SooperDooperLooper, Comet, Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, Laff Trakk and Lightning Racer, the only roller coaster that I actually had a night ride on here are Fahrenheit and SooperDooperLooper. You guys did really well for a Saturday, Hersheypark is usually very swamped on the weekend and the ride wait times are very close to 2 hours for the coasters and I avoid the water park too because you stand in line for so long there too. Hopefully, you can come back to Kennywood and Hersheypark both so you can ride Steel Curtain and Candymonium. PS: Hersheypark used to have a rapids ride, I think it was called Canyon River Rapids or something like that, I never got to the chance to get on it, they closed and tore it down by the time I started going to Hershey every year. Also, the old entrance you'd have loved because it would have reminded you and Alex of home with the Tudor style buildings, I loved it and is a bit sad they took that out. :'( Pretty nice that Jeff met up with you guys and showed you around. So sorry for these long comments.
