 Hey friends today We are hanging out in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and we are going to be going to Hershey Park This is one of my all-time favorite theme parks, and they have amazing roller coasters In fact, they have a brand new roller coaster called Wildcats Revenge And I wanted to come out and show you guys around so we're gonna eat some food ride some rides and have a Beautiful Hershey Park kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this And we have made it to Hershey, Pennsylvania I can smell the chocolate already in front of us is Hershey's chocolate world Which is like a little chocolate factory tour and then the theme park is over here But I think we're gonna start off in chocolate world Hershey's chocolate world is completely free to the public and you don't need to have a theme park ticket to go inside And it's really awesome in there because they have a dark ride that shows you how chocolate is made and they Can buy a bunch of candy and I highly suggest if you come here to start off here and then walk down to the theme park Because that's where you're gonna need to buy a ticket to go into the park itself That's where all of the rides are and I love this dark ride. It's so much fun When you buy a ticket to go into Hershey Park you actually get all of these included in the ticket price You get the boardwalk at Hershey Park Which is like a Hershey Park water park and then they have a zoo America Which is a North American wildlife park and then Hershey's chocolate world and Hershey Park So it's kind of like you're getting four different parks with one ticket except for they're just a little bit smaller Hershey Park has 76 rides here That is so impressive for one single theme park and it also has 12 roller coasters Well technically 13 roller coasters if you count the newest one wildcats revenge revenge, which just opened up like two weeks ago Once you get inside Hershey's chocolate world. They have a bunch of different interactive Experiences, but the thing that I love most is the chocolate tour and I think we're gonna head right on over there Bob, what are you getting some twizzlers some twizzlers? They always have oh Fill twizzers, I always say they have interesting twizzers like flavors of candy hair orange creamsicle Orange cream pop. Oh peach twizzlers. That's fancy Whenever I say Hershey, I'm also referring to the town itself because we are in Hershey, Pennsylvania In Hershey's chocolate town at Hershey Park and it can get a little confusing But it's everything Hershey over here. It's known as the sweetest place on earth And even the signs and the lights and everything like that all say Hershey on it. So it's really cool Right now Hershey's chocolate world is celebrating its 50th anniversary and it has changed a lot since 1973 look at it and this is the ride that we're going on now. It's different ride vehicles, but look at how cool that is I Can definitely see this ride being an Epcot because it's like that perfect like little educational ride, you know Welcome aboard the Hershey's chocolate factory tour for your safety Please remain seated with your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times We're on our way to the Hershey's chocolate factory. Your guide will meet you at the entrance. See you inside These cows Look at the pig hopping out of the hay. Oh and then we got a little cupcake here Here at the Hershey's chocolate factory I was asked to be your guide today, and I can't wait to show you around Everyone ready? Let's go It all starts with cocoa beans which are harvested and shipped to us from tropical regions around the world We send the cocoa beans to my clean machines and screen and thoroughly remove unwanted parts like pups and bits of cacao hot For the blended cocoa beans it's a large revolving roasters which get extremely hot Toasty in here, isn't it? Next we quickly cool the beans and feed them into a raking chamber which packs open the shelf at high speed Milling machines generate lots of heat through intense pressure and friction The grinding turns cocoa beans into the smooth dark liquid used to make milk and dark chocolate We pasteurize it to dense the sweet milk and then blend in the perfect amount of unsweetened chocolate This is where the almond chocolate making all comes together As the mixture cooks it begins to form a delicious baby dish that we call chocolate crumb It smells so amazing in here The old ones that grind and refine the chocolate until it reaches the clean, uniform consistency Here's our credit card. Let's try the next step in the process Slow down the refined crumb until it reaches the silky liquid texture of milk chocolate Bye, Trinidad! After punching, we temper the milk chocolate, heating and cooling it to just the right texture and consistency Hey, don't forget about Reese's Bean Buttercups, my personal favorite The packages are ready to go and I better get going too I literally I just it smells so amazing in here every time we ride through here I'm like wow and it makes you want to buy candy as soon as you get off and they have candy for sale as soon as you get off Hershey's Oh, what is this? Wow Wow, this is fancy. I don't remember this Oh, this is all new because of the 50th. You can see wow Wow, that's cool Once the tour is done, there's someone at the exit that actually gives everybody free candy So you get a little free candy when you go on the chocolate tour Thank you Look at that A little free Hershey's Milk chocolate and look at this place. Look how big big it is in here This is honestly you can spend a lot of time just in chocolate world alone Now that the chocolate tour is over it's time to head in the park itself and look there's candymonium right there The tallest roller coaster at Hershey park. That's such a fun ride But they have so many roller coasters. This park is actually massive and It takes a long time to actually go through all of it We bought our tickets online. It was just about 62 dollars a person And then they had an option to buy like a fast track like a skip the line option And that was 120 dollars A person so it's double the amount of the ticket to skip the lines I don't know if we're gonna need that today. So we're not gonna purchase it And we're just gonna monitor the wait times and see how it goes And we have officially made it in the park look at candymonium right there That is such a fun roller coaster and you can see a lot of rides as soon as you walk in So, uh, we're gonna see which one we want to go to first. Maybe over to the newest one One of the things I love about Hershey park is it's got like the big time thrill rides of like a major theme park But then it also has like small like wooden roller coaster and kiddie rides and also like amusement style food So it's almost like you're getting the best of both worlds Look at this. You can actually meet twizzler and hershey. Look at that. Hi. Hi guys Very cool. It's very nice to meet you. Thank you I love that Well, that's a great way to start as soon as we walked in the park We got to see hershey and twizzler and there there's characters all around that you can take photos with You can take a photo with jolly rancher. There's actually a jolly rancher. There's uh, the kisses our kiss There's so many of them and it's really awesome. So we're gonna keep our eye out for more characters The first ride we're gonna go on in the park is honestly What I would consider the scariest ride in the park the sky view and the main reason I want to do it So I want to give you guys a kind of a aerial shot of how big the park is And this is basically like a skyline gondola, but it just scares me This is so cool, but scary at the same time You can see we've got sky rush over there. You got comet one of the oldest roller coasters in the park Bonnie's in a twizzler there. Looks like she's talking to that man The gray bear The super duper looper over there. I'm so excited. I don't want to drop my phone. But look at this. We're high up Oh my lanta. Oh, I'm in a Reese's peanut butter cup. I just noticed that you got the drop towers over there Look at us. There's the kissing tower right there. It goes all the way up the kissing tower I can't wait to just ride all these rides I'm not that scared once we start going. It's the initial takeoff though. I get a little nervous. I mean, I Why is this cord dangling? Look at that one random cord just hanging down low like that. Where's that going? Oh my lord. It's shaking a little bit Look at Bonnie Something that's really cool about this ride is the roller coasters get super close to you though Look, here comes the gray bear coming at us. Watch you can see it come do it. I think it's loop right here And like we're right here too This is a fun ride. Here we go Look how close that is All right, it's time to head on back This ride takes you over to one side of the park and then takes you back and drops you off where you started But I just wanted to ride it to show you guys a little bit of a higher perspective of the park I told Bonnie I'm not riding with you. Look at here. She comes See you later. See you at the top The sky view was a perfect way to start and now we're going to make our way over to the newest attraction here at Hershey Park Wildcats revenge which it used to be a regular wooden coaster called wildcat and now it is a hybrid It's a steel wooden roller coaster. So I'm very excited. It just opened like a week ago Oh look, there's Reese's actually taking photos too Wow, that's my favorite. I'm a Reese's guy A majority of the rides are not allowed to bring cameras and cell phones on but we're still gonna actually Show you pov footage that Hershey Park has provided for us And it's really fun because the lease gives you kind of an idea of what the rides are like And here it is Wildcats revenge Oh, I'm so excited. It looks so shiny with the red track there And it looks like somebody looks like a car is heading up right now This is going to be fun. I think the top speed is like 62 miles per hour So it's going to be really interesting and it's in the same location. Like I said, this used to be a A regular just wooden roller coaster We're going to have to put our stuff away in the locker now But I'll pick up with the pov footage of the ride itself Bob what'd you think? One of the best rides here, right? Was it a funny how when you're going upside down? You're literally like upside down. That was so good Love the Wildcats revenge It was so cool because as you were going up It was actually going real slow the climb was slow and then it sped up And I liked how they had different handlebars to hang on to and it was really smooth It was very smooth and it was fast It was it I liked it. I liked it a lot I think I want to stop and get something to eat. Maybe at the spring creek smoke house It's a nice little barbecue spot. I like the sides here. I might want to get a cornbread muffin Little cornbread. Oh you can smell that barbecue. Oh, yeah The smokers are out and about look at that Oh boy, huh? This is what I'm talking about a lot of theme parks They're really not known for having decent food But look at this right here the smokers are out back. They've got like really good sides. I like it They've got ribs. They've got brisket They've got pulled pork turkey legs mac and cheese baked beans red skin mash Cornbread monkey bread strawberry shortcake Everything freshly made in-house Freshly made in-house right there. Look at that All right, here is the food I decided on going with the brisket sandwich. Look at all of that brisket. They give you Holy moly Bon Bon got the smoked chicken and then the mac and cheese Which the mac and cheese looks phenomenal Right there. Look at that and then also a little cornbread muffin too And this is all made in-house fresh. So I'm very excited to dive in I'm used to the birds at Disney But I am not used to these things. Oh my lord What is this? What are coming in hot? What is this little babies? I'm a little afraid right now I can't give you any food. We've had this talk already It's not natural. I know you want it. It looks like you got a lot of it on your face All right. We'll see you next time Bye This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in the park You got to add some of the barbecue sauce right to the brisket there. Look at that Gonna blump it on there Just like that. The bun is nice too Made fresh in-house. You can't go wrong You can't go wrong with fresh barbecue. That brisket is phenomenal So good. How's the chicken bun? Very good. Very hot right now. Did you dive into the mac and cheese yet? We need to see the cheese ball Scoop that mac go ahead. They got cheese ball there. Yeah, that looks good Don't feed the ducks or geese's don't feed any wildlife There is actual corn inside the cornbread. Look at that. That is impressive. It is so good too. I absolutely love this The wait times have not been that bad I've noticed it's like roughly around 30 minutes for like the bigger rides So i'm happy we didn't get to skip the line pass because that would have been a waste of money But i'm sure on a very busy day that will come in handy in case you want to get everything done The spring creek smokehouse was delicious and now since we're over here I think we're gonna go ride trailblazer a nice roller coaster through the Kind of the wilderness through the woods. It's really nice. I love this ride It's one of the first roller coasters i've ever ridden Trailblazer is like a kiddie ride almost. It's a very fast roller coaster. No drops. No like Flips or loops or anything like that and it's just for nostalgic reasons. I really do like it I think it's a fun little coaster Here comes our train car Nice slowly into station I also like how they have the little sliding doors for your loose articles over there Nice little scenic route Oh boy, it's a fun quick ride. It doesn't last that long. It's not that thrilling But it's got sentimental value to it and that's all that matters Well, there you have it. There's the trailblazer. It was like literally under 60 seconds Now it's time to move along and I think we want to do Bonnie's favorite ride the coal cracker One of the things I want to point out about this park is it's built on hills So there's a lot of hill climbing and if you have a big stroller or a non motorized wheelchair It can get a little difficult. Oh, they actually have a aquatic theater too We can see some sea lions But I remember coming here and pushing my grandma around and her like wheelchair And it was tough getting up some of these hills Very tough Only in pennsylvania where you'll find a milk vending machine Just milk. You got chocolate or regular turkey hill style And they even have candy bars here and you know, it's all got to be Hershey's, you know But can you imagine if they just stuck some other candy in there? Gertrack's I don't think I've ever seen anything as cool as this they have like a plinko Is that what you call it? Plinko and you pay two discs for five dollars But one of the prizes is one of those fast tracks like skip the line So you can literally play five dollars and try to win a Skip the skip the line pass valid for one ride. How cool is that? I feel like that's worth the risk Go ahead bond get up there. Let's see what you got Get us that fast track. All right I believe in you two Oh, oh, no, you're going the wrong way. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, look how close we were Holy moly. So we got what two and three equals five What do you get you want something Oh, you want a little Hershey bear, huh? Oh, is that for the baby? Yeah, what baby? What baby? So it's a tradition now for me and bonbon to play the ring toss game because bonny actually won this one time Where was it six fat six flags, right? Yeah, she won it at six flags So now I feel like we have to do it every single time Yeah, we've got a gigantic Charizard All right, bond I'm going the value $15 for the value right there and I was so excited because I brought cash for this and they don't take cash anymore Oh, is that what we get for the value you get a big and a small? Well, you get the big one since you're the champ already. All right. Here we go I'm like any second Huh, I know you can do it. I've seen that. Ah, should we get it past one? It's all you But we did walk away with consolation prizes Look at that because we bought the value, uh like packed. We got free hats This is not our hats. This is the new hat of the year Look at this. This is like the essential theme park food over here Dippin dots a walking taco and the tower of french fries Like these are the fresh cut french fries. It's like every other theme park in the world I love it though. Look at that little picture of them feeding each other french fries. That's so cute Bonnie was just not feeling the magic today, but now we're going to go ride her favorite ride the coal cracker She just loved that ride. I do Here is a map of the whole entire park and like I said, this place is massive This is where we entered in right here. And then you got her. She's chocolate town. You got candy monium here Sky rush the kissing tower Like it goes on and on zoo america and then over to boardwalk and then in the far corner You have lightning racer, which is a wooden racing Like roller coaster. Yeah, we're definitely riding that today I'm glad we waited until later on in the afternoon to ride this because you can get a little bit wet here It's a little bit of a wet ride, but I like it. It is fun. It is a good ride We've actually gotten a lot done in just the time that we've been here We've only been here. I would say at least four hours Yeah, four hours just about and we got a lot done. I figured her and it took us just about two hours to drive here from our hometown There goes the great bear They call it the great bear because it sounds like a bear when it's rolling through here It feels like a bear roar and the ride that we're riding the coal cracker. It's like a uh, it's like a, uh, water roller coaster You see it right there Look at it. We're going all the way up Oh, it's so peaceful. It's a very peaceful ride Look at this though I love it. Oh, we might catch the super duper looper hitting the super duper loop Oh coming in hot Here it goes So you drop down right about here and you'll see someone come down you go flying that thing actually gets you get airtime Look at that Oh, you can hear the bear again But that is so cool. The ride itself is so nice We made our way up from the coal cracker and we're over by the kissing tower and the classic cars I love both of these attractions. They're not like thrill rides, but they're so fun and I'm wondering if we should do both We're gonna do the kissing tower first bond. Don't be trying to kiss me now. You hear Kissing is allowed, but please no food drinks are smoking beyond this point It's hard to smooch with your mouth full when I was a kid I used to come here like for high school field trips and I used to say, you know what? I'm gonna get a girl from one day and I'm gonna kiss her in this tower You get a beautiful view of all of Hershey, Pennsylvania from the kissing tower. I can't wait to show you guys Oh boy, we're in it now. And yes, they do have some type of ac in here. You got to go all the way around Welcome to the Hershey Park kissing tower for your safety Please remain seated during the ride and refrain from sitting or leaning on the doors and windows Smoking is prohibited. Thank you and enjoy your ride The kissing tower stands 330 feet high from its base to the flagpole Today our cabin will climb 250 feet into the air making three rotations during the ride Take in the views of Hershey, Pennsylvania and listen to the story of how it came to be Our founder Milton S. Hershey opened his chocolate factory in the middle of Dairy Township in 1905 He chose this location due to the ingenious access to fresh milk from local farms Today his factory town is known as Hershey the sweetest place on earth With Milton Hershey's support houses businesses and entertainment came into existence creating the town we know today Let's take a closer look at some of the attractions inspired. There's the cold cracker. What we just rode was originally created as leisure grounds for the employees of Hershey's chocolate factory Today our family theme park has more than seven attractions including 15 coasters Coming this summer our all-new wooden steel hybrid coaster called transfer bench Takes riders through one of the kind thrills found only at Hershey park Climb a 140 foot hill They have a monorail too. Look at that Dive into an 82 degree to largest underflip on three custom trees. We're just gonna wear these hats that all the time All the time All right, it's time to make our way back down. There we go We're gonna have to make an executive decision here. I really want to ride the cars But I think we got to get to lightning racer. Yeah, come on. Let's go. You look like a squidward Not even Scott. I don't even know what you look like Squid head Looks like the jolly rancher remix opened back up So maybe we might go ride that before we make our way to lightning racer This is a fun ride And it's really cool when you go in the tunnels because it's like a little party in there And I like it a lot Actually matches the jolly rancher remix it actually fit in perfectly and that was a fun ride Very thrilling. Especially like I said when you go through those tunnels It feels like you're heading into like a nice little party Bon Bon's been walking in front of me, but she's pretty easy to spot with her hat on So as long as she keeps that on I can see her straight ahead I feel like I just laughed for an hour straight That was one of the greatest things I think I've ever caught on camera. Holy moly. I can't get over it Now that you're soaking wet Bon. It's time to race Lightning racer right here. Look at that. It's a dueling wooden roller coaster. Me and Bonny will definitely have to be on different sides This roller coaster is like I said a dual racing roller coaster So you have two tracks and two different cars One side is called lightning one side is called thunder and you race each other to the finish line And it is a very bumpy ride It's it's rough, but it's so much fun. Oh, yeah, okay. They're coming. I can hear them Ah looks like thunder one Yeah Right here's the split you can choose uh thunder or lightning and then separate from there and you can choose either one you want Tense like it like shakes you you can feel everything shaking, but I love it It's definitely rivaling Knoble's wooden coasters in my opinion. I think it's one of the best out there Yeah, we won we won we won thunder. I almost said love and thunder like though we're loving thunder, but it's lightning and thunder I guess it's time for us to exit the park Of course, we have to exit through the gift shop and at the chocolatier restaurant Which is a very good restaurant me and Bon Bon ate here last time we came down And I loved it today. We want to get home because mom's not with us So we want to go get dinner with mom So we're just gonna exit on out and uh start the long journey home Right up on the hill there as you're walking out you can see Milton Hershey Which is the richest private school? I think in the world and it's free for low-income Children to actually go to and it's all funded by Hershey park and the Hershey uh company. How cool is that? In fact Hershey park was first made because they wanted to have a place where The workers from the factory can come play. I'm pretty sure even zoo America that was uh all created because somebody gave Milton Hershey, I think like two Prairie dogs like they gave him they gifted him two prairie dogs and then he was like I'm gonna put a zoo in my park We stopped and picked up my mom's favorite pizza and my favorite bites Definitely have a nice little pizza and bites night And with that we are done here today time to sit down and eat our drinker pizza And uh our wing bites my I love the wing bites from here They are so good my favorite out of anywhere But I had a fun day. It was fun to go hang out at Hershey park Bonnie had a lot of fun. We got to lie got to ride lots of rides and uh, yeah So, uh, I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
