Hershey's Chocolate World circa 1988

Back in 1988, someone at Hershey thought it would be a good idea to spruce up the traditional Hershey's Chocolate World ride with a talking robot and $4.5 million worth of new special effects. The public hated it and the company quickly reverted back to the original ride. This video is every bit as dumb as I remember it (being a sensible 11-year-old at the time).

@PinballBrendan That's so funny you said that you prefer the robot over the singing cows. I could imagine that right now seeing that.

Wow, I visited Hersheypark at least once I year since the mid 1970s and I dont remember that version. I remember the Test Kitchen they had at the end of the ride.
