We take off on the refurbished Skyrush
Hersheypark Trip Report Photos Taken: 05/26/2024 Posted: 06/04/2024While no major attraction is opening at Hersheypark this season, the park certainly hasn't rested on its laurels this offseason. Several minor improvements have been made around the park to improve customer experience and further solidify its top tier ride lineup. The park's Intamin hyper coaster Skyrush has received all new restraints and a station face lift. The classic wooden coaster Comet has received two brand new trains from PTC. Several food establishments have been renewed and there is a new Giant Size Passholder lounge at the back of the park. Follow along as we take you around Hersheypark.

It's so great to see the park reinvest in this attraction. I expect ridership to go up this season.

There are also new PTC trains. Gone are the buzz bars, but even with individual ratcheting restraints, the ride experience remains great and the coaster is well taken care of.
