Vacation Day 3- Hershey's

Well today my Dad and I went to Hershey's Pennsylvania. Yes, this is the same Hershey's that makes chocolate and other candies as well. Getting there was not to hard but finding our way back was a little tricky. The whole town is centered around this factory. The theme park was pretty big as well, I did not realize it was so big. The park did give the WoW factor but not as much as Disney or Universal Studios. Right off the back, we headed to there newest roller coaster called Fahrenheit.
This roller coaster had an 90 degree angle drop, it was amazing. From there we hit three wooden roller coasters. Two of the wooden costers went together they were called Lightning Racer. One coaster was lighting and the other was thunder. The two would race as you were on the coasters and the end there was winner. (Its was rigged) Then we check out the water park inside Hershey's park and it was pretting cool to see. My newphews Joshua and Jonathan would of loved this place. After this we headed to ride called the side winder. This ride would take you up backwards then it would release you where you head forward and go through some corkscrews, and turns. Once you go through that, then you do it again but backwards. My dad got a little light headed after that one so we took a little break and went on the monorail. After that we ate lunch, saw a show, and went on 2 more roller coasters. I forgot to mention that it was raining the whole time. Not a pour but a slight drizzle. It was enough to keep the 2 big steel coasters from operating. We were tired of the rain so we went to the factory experience. Once inside we went right to the tour where they show us the process of making chocolate. The tour was also a ride.
 Once we got off the ride, they gave us chocolate. As we were walking and eating our free chocolate, we ended up in one of biggest candy stores I have ever been too. There was Hershey's candy and stuff everywhere you look.


There was a Hershey's Bakery, custom candy bars, Hershey's shake, Hershey's cafe, and just Hershey's everything. It was just such a awesome place to be at. Before we left i had to ride 2 more coasters that were closed before because of rain. Since it stop raining, I had to go ride them and my dad took pictures this time instead of riding them. Well that concludes todays blog.
