Hershey’s Chocolate World

Not as popular here in the UK as it is in the US, we still know all about Hershey’s chocolate - we’ve even had S’mores! Damn they were good… I see you don’t even have to bother making them yourself anymore though.

However, we didn’t know that Hershey’s had a chocolate-themed amusment park! Actually, Hersheypark has some pretty cool-looking wooden coasters as well as around 60 other rides and attractions.

More about Hershey’s, Hersheypark and other chocolate-related stuff over at Wikipedia.

    Hershey’s don’t make chocolate, they make bars of sawdust bound together with lard. :P

    Hershey Park is awesome. I go at least once every year. The two large wooden roller coasters at the north end of the park are the “Wildcat” and the
    “Lightning Racer,” a racing, dueling coaster. The two trains are named “Lightning” and “Thunder.”

    The Wildcat is an awsome wooden roller coster, I haven’t been there in years but I remember having bruises on my shoulder blades from being whipped around on the creakedy(sp?) tracks.
