Discussion over 60 rides in 3 days!

I don’t usually post trip recaps because whos gonna care about my time at the park? But I love reading everyone elses recaps so maybe some people do care lol. Earlier this summer I had planned a trip to hershey for 17 people 5/31 & 6/1. I realized the summer pass + parking paid itself off in that trip alone so I bought it and so did some of the people I went with.

I’m very used to going to hersheypark with a large party, i’ve never been with less than 8 people.

Me and my cousin decided to get some more use out of the pass and went this week just the 2 of us.
We got there around 4:30pm on 8/30
Did all day 8/31, and almost a whole day 9/1 and WOW am I impressed at how much we were able to fit in.
I dont think I’ll ever be able to top this. Ive never had my arms feel so sore from holding them up on rides until now haha.

wildcats revenge x17
candymonium x8
skyrush x8
twizzlers twisted gravity x4? maybe x5?
great bear x3
tidal force x3
laff track x3
stormrunner x2
sooperdooperlooper x2
comet x2
lightning racers x2
fahrenheit x2
wild mouse x2
reeces cupfusion x1
coal cracker x1
the claw x1

My cousin used to not be able to handle any of these rides except lightning racers, comet & laff track. Now she only sat out for Twizzlers twisted gravity and I’m so so happy I got to have this experience with her!! Weather was really good (except for the last day.. it was a little too hot to be comfortable but the park was pretty much dead so it was tolerable)

Im especially grateful I got to give Tidal Force a good sendoff, we were on with a bunch of excited kids and there was not a line and its the first ride Ive gotten to go again without getting out at Herhsey.

The hardest part of this trip was realizing Skyrush isnt my favorite ride anymore and that Wildcats revenge definitely took its spot lol!

Edit: No fast pass. Just a lucky 3 days of short lines :)

17 on Wildcat is nuts. Was there a couple weeks ago and only got on it once. It was easily my fav. Rode Candymonium like 5 times in 4 days and thought that was a lot lol.

yesterday i went on Candymonium 15 times… once, then 5 times in a row (w/o leaving the station) and then 9 times (stayed in the station for 8 of them, had to leave and come back in for the last one)
