NEW HERSHEY COASTER????

Rumors are starting to fly as to what HersheyPark has up its sleeves for 2011. Some are talking about a 12th coaster. Nothing is official yet, but it may be like the Griffon at Busch Gardens. It's a diving coaster that some suspect would go into Comet Hollow. Check it out.......



Pretty cool, huh? Check out the newspaper article with more details here.........

HERSHEYPARK

Hey everyone,

Well, I hope you all are rested after our fun days at Hershey!! We had so much fun. I think everyone got on a new ride at some point. Adam and Josh got on the SooperDooperLooper for the first time and loved it!! Adam got on the Comet too but said it was too rickety. Brandon got on the Great Bear for the first time and liked it enough to ride again, but the line was too long. Next year Brandon!!

I think Eric got on the Lightning Racer for the first time and liked it too. Emily's been on a lot of rides already but she was the first to go down the "toilet bowl." That was lots of fun. Some of us rode the Rodeo for the first time and the Reeses Cup Challenge too. Ethan got on a few rides so we'll wait a few years to get him on the coasters.

As always, I love the Great Bear and the Wildcat.

If you have pictures you want to share, please email them to Uncle Shawn. I did not take my camera when Josh and Ethan were there and would love pictures if Aunt Kate has them.

ENJOY!!

Love,
Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted
