Hersheypark, Pennsylvania

Description

Hersheypark
The park opened its first roller coaster in 1923, the Wild Cat, an early Philadelphia Toboggan Company coaster. In 1970, it began redevelopment plan, which led to new rides, an expansion of the park, and the park’s renaming. The 1970s brought the first looping roller coaster on the East Coast, as well as a 330-foot-tall 100 m observation tower, the Kissing Tower. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the park rapidly expanded. Between 1991 and 2008, the park added eight roller coasters and the Boardwalk at Hersheypark water park. As of 2016, the park’s area covers over 110 acres 45 ha, containing 70 rides and attractions, as well as a zoo called ZooAmerica – North American Wildlife Park. Adjacent is Hershey’s Chocolate World, a visitors’ center that is open to the public and that contains shops, restaurants, and a chocolate factory-themed tour ride.
