Hershey’s Chocolate World
Tuesday, 14th March 2006 by Alex Turnbull
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. 😛
I went there once when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I remember it being pretty cool, and I think I rode in a hershey kiss…?
Mmm.. Larddust.
those ariel photos actually look delicious. Are those creeks running chocolate? Holy crap!
Too bad the resolution isn’t good enough to show the streetlights shaped like silver Hershey kisses!
I love my gold Hershey kisses
I’d take one square of a galaxy bar over a pound of hershey’s anyday! Too bad a galaxy bar will set you back a weeks wages here in the states…blasted import food stores 🙂
you need to get a better job hansen! 😀
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.
