Very interesting. I'm genuinely surprised they didn't go with Intamin for this. But this should be a nice fit to their lineup.

Wtf, that has to be one of the weirdest moves in theme park history...
I find it hard to believe that it will pay off to buy 3 of these.

Re: Hersheypark teaser for 2017
Am I missing something? What theming? Are we talking about the little tacky chocolate promos at the top of each tower?
I can't say I'm too excited about this addition but I think some shot/drop towers will fill a decent gap in their overall ride lineup. A little confused as to why they've gone for S&S ones.

I think the whole brand of these towers is just cheap and doesn't work whatsoever? I understand the promotion of their chocolate brands, but to implement those to a ride such as this that has absolutely no relevance to the product is a bit beyond me? It's not even as though the separate chocolate products are 'sponsoring' the towers themselves -that would also make sense, but these are literally themed to chocolate bars? It's a bit bizarre of an investment, both in terms of the hardware (using S&S) and also in terms of thematically.

It seems that a fair few American enthusiasts see any old s**te as "good theming" since most of their parks have none at all once you take Disney and Universal out of the equation.
Those towers look f**king horrible.

The kissing tower has no relevance to the product beyond the shape of the windows. Is that any different? It's no different as having a park logo at the top of the tower. And plus it corresponds with their ticket system, with the different height restriction system - so the kisses tower is aimed at guests that come under the Kisses height (36" and above), Reeses tower aimed at guests that come under the Reeses height (42" and above) and Hershey's tower aimed at guests that come under the Hershey height (48" and above).
