Hersheypark dates back to 1906, building their first coaster in 1923, and they have 14 operating coasters. Today, let's rank them up.

With each passing entry, Skyrush breaths a sigh of relief

8:20 those two phones show how strong the airtime is.

Clicked on this faster than Airtime Thrills can say Skyrush has bad lapbars

I’ve lived in hershey my whole life, i knew the low skyrush placement was coming, but i can’t say it still doesn’t hurt

Hershey showed an Intamin crate recently and some brewing rumors suggest new restraints for Skyrush.

Always fun to see how you rank coasters as I feel like we often have a similar view. Skyrush is probably where we differ the most. I used to dislike it early on after it was built. In recent years though it hasn't bothered me and has become one of my favorite coasters period.

Anyhow, here is how I rank Hersheypark, which I consider my home park. Although I'm from Baltimore, Hershey was the closest major park to me when I was young. Six Flags/Adventure World/Wild World came a few years later.

1. Skyrush
2. Wildcat's Revenge
3. Storm Runner
4. Fahrenheit
5. Great Bear
6. Candymonium
7. Comet
8. Lightning Racer
9. Wildcat
10. Sooperdooperlooper
11. Jolly Rancher Remix
12. Laff Trakk
13. Trailblazer
14. Wild Mouse
15. Cocoa Cruiser
16. Roller Soaker

And yes, Roller Soaker dead last. It's actually dead last of my 410 plus credits. It was awful and literally dumb.

Very interested to see where Skyrush will rank if it does get the new restraints

[Thelightningout]

This park has a special place in my heart as it is home to the first ever looping coaster I rode the super dooper looper that loop pulls insane forces and ranks number 1 in my first trying amusement park things. It is also home to one of my favorite woodies, the comet.

I’m working at HersheyPark this summer through a college internship program, but I’ve never actually been there! I’ll get to hit all of the coasters over the summer so it’ll be interesting to see where I rank them compared to you.

Hersheypark is the one park I haven't been, that I want to see the most.
It's just in such an awkward spot that's kinda hard to get to...

[orcathecat]

“… So let’s run down the coasters that make them world famous… Cocoa Cruiser” ah yes, very famous roller coaster indeed. Still a great video.

Hersheypark was my favorite park in the days before I would ride coasters at all, in part because they had so many big tame family rides--more than they do today. Eventually my mother cajoled me onto Trailblazer, and for many years, it was the only coaster I'd ever ridden. There's not much to it, but at the time, I found it almost overwhelming.

I went back there in 2011 with my little daughter in tow, and aside from introducing her and my wife to Trailblazer (my kid liked it way more than I had), I had the kid with me for most of the day and the only coasters I got to ride were Fahrenheit and sooperdooperLooper. I loved both of those. Fahrenheit's queue was brutal though. We rode Tiny Timbers, the little kiddie flume where Cocoa Cruiser is now.

Going back there for another go is, I think, my single biggest bucket-list park visit at the moment, of all the parks in the world. I can't convince my family to be interested so it'd probably be solo.

My daughter and I were able to go to Hershey this past summer. Your rankings are almost dead-on with mine! We ended the night with 3 straight rides on Wildcat's Revenge and had SO much fun! I love a good B&M Hyper and Candymonium filled that slot nicely (although Diamondback is better). We had a blast on both Stormrunner and Fahrenheit, riding each multiple times. Great Bear really surprised me how fun and unique it was. And Skyrush...well, it was intense. The restraints really hurt it. Overall, such a solid lineup at Hershey.

[AirtimeProductions]

I’m so excited to visit this park during the summer! Hopefully skyrush does get those rumored new trains

Hersheypark:*goes to intamin for a coaster*

Also Hershey: we’ll take your entire stock

I’ve been going to Hersheypark ever since my parents took to Candylane when I was only a year old. I am now in college and have gone to Hersheypark every year of my life. So I feel I have at least have decent opinions on these coasters lol. First the ones defunct.

Roller Soaker honestly was nothing spectacular. It was fun but it definitely was more about the battle then the actual coaster part. I only ever did it once or twice I preferred the more thrilling rides even as a kid.
Wildcat holds such a special place in my heart. I used to ride it all the time growing up. And I definitely think the roughness was tolerable for many years. But my god since covid hit wildcat became pretty awful. The roughness causes the coaster to slow down as well since it shakes around so much. It had a fun layout and I have great memories of it but I was begging for Hershey to RMC it.

Now for my rankings-
I definitely have different opinions on these rides then you do lol. Im a die hard skyrush fan and I can’t apologize for that. Also lighting racer is also a great time I’ve always had a blast on it and love it to death.
14. Cocoa Cruiser
13. Trailblazer
12. Wild Mouse
11. Sooper Dooper Looper
10. Laff Trakk
9. Jolly Rancher Remix
8. Comet
7. Lightning Racer
6. Fahrenheit
5. Great Bear
4. Candymounium
3. Storm Runner
2. Wildcats Revenge
1. Skyrush

Skyrush seems like it is 90% likely that it’s getting new lap bars this year so hopefully they will help with other peoples comfort and not ruin the parts that its fans love. Also you got to get on wildcats revenge when it’s hauling the ending becomes actually insane

[bossman]

Comet was my first ever true coaster. My family went to Hershey in 2004 and I was 5 or 6. I went on it with my Grandpa. I still remember that to this day.

Skyrush new lap bars have entered the chat.
