Hersheypark Coasters

There’s nothing sweeter than chocolate and nothing more exciting than amusement parks, which you know well if you are one of the millions of visitors that have explored Pennsylvania’s Hersheypark. Originally opened in 1906 by Milton S. Hershey, the famous confectioner and founder of Hershey Chocolate Company, Hersheypark started as a small leisure park for employees of the company and has grown into an award-winning theme park that spans 121 acres in Derry Township, PA.

Modern-day Hersheypark features several incredible attractions that appeal to young and old alike, including 70+ exciting rides, ZooAmerica, and six different themed areas. Just when you thought that this thrilling theme park couldn’t get any better, Hersheypark broke the mold again by revealing their “biggest announcement ever” on October 3, 2018—a huge $150-million expansion that features a brand-new hypercoaster, making this the largest capital investment in Hershey Entertainment & Resorts history!

Taking Hersheypark to the Next Level with Chocolatetown

When Hersheypark announced that it will be opening a new theme area called Chocolatetown, they said that they will “unlock an all-new chapter” in the park’s legacy. Suspicions over the expansion began back in June of 2018 when the park submitted plans for approval to the Derry Township Planning Commission. These rumors were confirmed on October 3, when the park announced that its 23-acre Chocolatetown expansion will include several new attractions:

  • Restaurant and bar
  • Confectionary kitchen
  • Ice cream parlor
  • 10,000 sq. ft. store

What fans of Hersheypark are most excited about, however, is the announcement of the new Bolliger & Mabillard hypercoaster! Standing taller than the park’s other hypercoaster at over 200 feet, this new hypercoaster attraction is sure to be big news all the way up to its grand opening. In fact, Hersheypark has plans to open up Chocolatetown and the new roller coaster for the 2020 season—although that might still seem like a long wait for rollercoaster enthusiasts that love visiting the park every summer.
