Since it’s using the same track style as Intimidator, Hyperion, and Skyrush, it is deemed to be an intense and exhilarating coaster that tops all others in the industry. High expectations all around!
Just went to Hershey 2 weeks ago, Candymonium is hands down the best hyper coaster I’ve ridden, it’s legit an airtime filled speed way over awesome. The trims don’t ruin it which is surprising and it’s layout Dosent have a goofy turn around that kills momentum But a wonderful hammerhead turn they really killed it with this coaster. Front and back and middle seats all kick ass, it’s just a sick coaster
Personally, I'm team candemonium. I prefer floater to ejector, and Skyrush really doesn't seem like my type of ride, but rides like Apollo's Chariot or Mako are in my top 10.
Honestly people going after each other over COVID stuff is so dumb to me. Just mind your own business man, that kinda stuff doesn’t help fix COVID or make the world a better place
Totally agree that Lightning Racer and Fahrenheit are highly underrated. Lightning Racer may not have the best GCI airtime, but the racing/dueling/flybys/crossovers with the other train make it one of the most fun coasters I have ever ridden.
I used to be a lifeguard at their waterpark back in high school. Definitely miss being there all the time with the homies. Cool to see it grow into such a well respected park💪🏼 too many memories.
Hey, nice video. Also would you say Candymonium is better that Mako or Shambala? Hershey has one of the best collection of coasters ever, with 3 awesome Intimins and if they RMC or GCI redid Wildcat it would have one of the best collections in the world Hershey is definitely one of the best in the world.
Taylor: Paul and I have some hot takes Paul: I actually enjoy this ride probably more than Twi- AirTime Thrills: Hold on, let me stop you right there. *3 Minutes Later* Taylor: It was a 56 44 split in favor of Sky- AirTime Thrills: Oh, you're killing me, Taylor
It's a great park, but without Storm Runner you aren't getting the full experience of it. I love it there, but I feel like Storm Runner is one of the big rides no one wants to miss out. It's closed for good reason, but Storm Runner is amazing in my opinion.
Lowkey, I am not a fan of Lightning Racer. It just doesn't feel like it does a whole lot and it definitely feels like it has a pacing issue. On the Twisted Colossus vs. Lightning Racer thing, I'd have to say I like Twisted Colossus more. I'd rather ride a stellar ride that is great even when it doesn't duel rather than a ride that is dependent on whether or not it duels.
Elias Mertens I saw your comment before they talked about it in the video. I was very confused. 🤣. Gotta say, I love reading everyone’s thoughts on different coasters.
people hate on twisted collossus way too much. i get that it doesn’t do what it was designed to do, but if you can overlook that it’s an amazing ride, great airtime throughout, creative elements, smooth, a long ride time, and the inversions add on nicely to the rest of the ride. I think that instead of being upset that it doesn’t duel people should see the dueling as a bonus now, because i doubt six flags is gonna invest in fixing the ride so that it duels
Awesome video Taylor! Hershey Park looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind going out there and checking it out, someday. After COVID. Candymonium looks like a lot of fun too.
As of right now, Mako is my favorite B&M hyper, but Candymonium has the best themed station and has a pretty unique layout. I cannot wait to ride this when I go back to Hersheypark!
I definitely agree. Candymonium doesn't do anything crazy enough to beat any B&M giga. I think that Candymonium would be a much better ride without those trim brakes on the airtime hills. They have Skyrush as well though so no real complaints.
I think this is a great addition for the park, Skyrush is a little to intense for some people so a B&M Hyper is perfect, not as intense and is focused on flounder airtime. I love all the elements on this ride and that hand chopper bear miss on the outerbank turn and the support looks awesome.
Compared to other B&M hypers, the 2 trims are barely noticeable. Really a good ride. Lightning Racer is fantastic. So perfectly designed that you NEVER know which side will win. Skyrush is my all time #1 and Hersheypark, due to its atmosphere and overall great collection of coasters is my #1 park.
Feeling a family road trip coming on after seeing the improvements, new coaster and haven't been there since the mid 80s. Man that drink you shared made my teeth sore! Lol.
My friend and I went to Hershey on July 29, it was amazing! The new entrance was awsome along with candymonium. We didn’t go on skyrush because we thought it would be too much to go on both candymonium and skyrush. I’ll be sure to go on it the next time I go though!
On my way home from hershey ... Hands down best ride there the drop is to die for .... Back and front and middle are amazing... Comfy seats a good shaded waiting line .. Quick lines bc of 3 coasters . 10 / 10. Cant wait to go there again and ride it on repeat lmao
Guys, Hershey is my home park, and I really want to go, but my Mom doesn’t feel 100 percent safe due to the virus. Since you guys just went, are there any safety protocols and rules that insure safety throughout the park that you can inform me about, so I can try to convince her?
Where did you find the giant shakes? I was looking for them my entire visit a few weeks ago.... Also, team Skyrush. INSTANTLY became one of my favorite steel coasters after my 1st ride...
Going to Hersheypark tomorrow, and I'm actually really looking forward to Lightning Racer a lot. I love dueling woodies. Skyrush unfortunately seems to be closed for the season; minor bummer; but there are plenty of others I'm looking forward to.
I definitely agree with the covid procedures. I've gotten over 40 rides in on some weekdays which include 3 marathons of 8 rides on Skyrush in one day ... LOVE HP!
I rode this a couple weeks ago i it was my first bnm hyper and I also rode everything. And after we went to Knoebels and I rode Phoenix and twister and I loved every second of it and we ended getting home by 11ish but it was awesome apart from wildcat
Farenheight made me dizzy but it was intense I particularly didnt like skyrush it threw me around and had a ton of ejector but the restraints ruined it for me. Candymonium I only got back row rides but when I go back I will get some front row too.
My good friends son works there at Hershey park! She posted pictures of her son and their family there just a couple of days ago on his day off, enjoying their day at Hershey Park. That’s one amusement park I want to go to so much! Even one of my cousin’s lives near Hershey, PA. So good two reasons to visit them..wearing our masks of course, but my cousin said to wait when the weather gets cooler to visit. I forgot to ask if Hershey Park is open all year long lol..I’m sure there’s a lot more to see in Hershey, PA. 😁💖
I'm glad you enjoyed Hersheypark Taylor. I was there about three weeks ago and rode Candymonium. Pretty much what you said about it is what I said about it. There was only one time I rode Lightning Racer when I didn't duel and that was when they were short on staff. You're not missing much. Basically is glorified Wildcat. What you said about each and every ride at my former home park is what I've been saying. Hersheypark is currently ranked by number 3 Park I've been to so far, succeeded by Kings Island at number 2 and Cedar Point at number one. Yes I am Cedar Point fanboy don't rub it in.
Can’t wait to see a review video for Candymonium. From what I’ve already heard, it’s been getting positive reception. It even got compared to the likes of Mako.
Its funny how your friend said Lightning racer duels every time is just funny because on opening day I only got one ride on it dueling then they took off the lightning side, maybe because of absolutely no lines.
I was there a couple of days ago and the lift didn’t slow down like in this POV. Just kinda odd that this happened to you. By the way, since it’s at the very front of the park, in the middle of the day it has legit NO wait
Perhaps it is a front row ride. I got 3 on Candymonium and all were the back/near the back and it was pretty meh. And I didn't have high expectations. The floater wasn't even the best floater, and the trims....esp that 2nd one just kills the hill and that cool turny part. Perhaps I should've tried front row. And yeah I was crushed when I saw Storm Runner closed :(
