With the opening of the park announced just in time for the 4th of July holiday, Hersheypark is excited to debut it's 15th roller coaster, Candymonium.  This ride is going to be epic at 210 feet tall, speeds of 76 MPH, and a length of 4,636 feet.  I can't wait!  Candymonium joins an already stellar cast of coasters of Hersheypark including my favorites - Storm Runner, Skyrush, and Farenheit!  

Along with Candymonium, Hersheypark will also be opening Chocolatetown which will feature a new restaruant, ice cream parlor, and shopping!  For more about these exciting additions, check out this video!
