Summer will be here before you know it, and if you intend to go to the Sweetest Place on Earth, the amusement park is ready for a fun-filled season.
Hersheypark's 2019 summer season began May 3. The 121-acre theme park is bringing some new features to its 112th season.
What's new at Hersheypark?
Here's what you can expect in addition to all of the normal entertainment at Hersheypark:
- Hersheypark will offer guests more personalized experiences than ever before with the introduction of a program called HPGO. This guest platform connects an HPGO wristband with the Hersheypark app to collect free ride stats and photos from Reese’s Cupfusion and Whitecap Racer, while integrating with the enhanced Fast Track program. Guests can skip the regular line on up to 14 attractions, including 12 coasters, with the purchase of Fast Track or the all-new Fast Track Unlimited.
- New food options include Chick-fil-A, Nathan's Hot Dogs, and Keepin' It Kosher food trucks, and a new menu at The Outpost, the allergen-friendly food location, in addition to new King Size Milkshakes inspired by Reese’s Cupfusion at Simply Chocolate ice cream shop.
- The Boardwalk at Hersheypark, a water park with more than 16 attractions, is included in admission May 25-Sept. 2. Admission to ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park, an 11-acre walk-through zoo home to more than 200 animals from 100 species, is also included in the Park’s one-price admission.
- And one of the most popular rides in Hersheypark, the iconic Carrousel, marks its 100th anniversary of delighting children and those young at heart for generations.
Also, an interactive gaming ride experience called Reese's Cupfusion is debuting Memorial Day weekend.
