Hersheypark | Chocolatetown | 2019/2020 Park Expansion

Permits have been field for Candymonium

Hmm. It's clever and fits with hersheypark but kind of weird for a coaster and a bit of a mouthful. Think we'll need a shortened version a la Steve for it. Any suggestions? haha

 

[CrashCoaster]

^CM? CaMo? CanMo? Can-um? CanDieMonium?

Or we could just stick to Candymonium.

 

[Lofty]

You just know this is going to get a typical CF name shortening to 'Candz'.

If you want one like Steve, Andy.

According to Screamscape, the first track and supports have now arrived at Hersheypark and the coaster is to be announced on 24th July.

So just under 3 hours off then. Should be interesting.

where can i find a live stream

There's none.

I was right! 210 feet tall, 76 MPH, 4636 feet long

 

[CrashCoaster]

7 camelback hills, and a 123° hammerhead turn, and a ride duration of 2 mins, 26 secs. Looks like a promising layout, but there are a grand total of zero surprises here. It's actually the second shortest (in track length) B&M hyper after Goliath at SFOG (200ft+). The coaster will have milk chocolate coloured track, white supports, and three different 28 passenger candy-themed trains (Reese's, Kisses and Twizzlers).

If I may ask, where did you find these statistics regarding the airtime hill count and banking of the hammerhead?

^On a live stream I just watched:-

EDIT:- Announcement video:-

I just noticed the trains in the video are only six rows long, but the trains will definitely be seven rows long in real life because the station track has seven sets of restraint release mechanisms.
