Candymonium Review - Hersheypark (Hershey, PA) Bolliger & Mabillard Hyper Coaster
Рет қаралды 19,142
Күн бұрынAs of right now, in the United States, there have only been three major roller coasters to open up this year, and the way things are shaping up, I expect it to remain that way. Fortunately, as of the release of this video, I have ridden two of the new additions for 2020: Orion, a B&M Giga located at Kings Island, and the star of today’s video, Candymonium, a B&M hyper located at Hersheypark.
Standing 210ft tall, Candymonium is the tallest roller coaster at Hersheypark, barely beating Skyrush. With 46 hundred feet of track, Candymonium is one of the shorter hyper coasters, but still a thousand feet longer than Skyrush. Before diving into my review, I think the one major question many coaster enthusiasts, or fans of Hershey have on their mind, is why another hyper coaster? Skyrush is a pretty good hyper coaster, so why build another one? Well, I plan on tackling that question in this review, so let's get to it!

Skyrush and Candymonium are so different. I see exactly why they put in a B&M hyper. Plus they can advertise it as the tallest + longest ride in the park.

I rode Candymonium on July 2, 2020- within the 1st few days of operation. I am a Season Pass holder, rode it 2x- once in the middle once in the back row. It is definitely a thrilling coaster ride and SMOOTH! I did notice a bit more airtime in the back- Much more than Skyrush. I actually rode that earlier in the day and am still wondering after 10+ times overall how you do not fall out on Skyrush. I felt that Candymonium is still thrilling but less intense. An overall thrilling, smooth coaster ride. I also give Candymonium a 9 out of 10 overall. Can't wait to go on it again in a couple of weeks or so. Once the overall Chocolatetown area where this is located, in the front is completed with trees, Kiss fountain, landscaping, etc.- this overall experience will be very memorable every time you ride it.

I was counting 6 seconds of airtime on the first camelback. I hardly got trimmed and had nutty air on the rest of the ride each time I lapped it.

I’ve ridden it probably @15 times so far. The amount of time you are out of your seat is amazing. It’s just incredible👍🏻

Was there with the family on 7/14 and Candymonium was nice and I kept my eyes open for the first big drop but then closed it most of the way since I started getting an immediate headache with the G forces and the mrs getting a headache herself and adding to my headache with her yelling. My son and daughter opted out on getting on. I did like the ride but my favorite is the Great Bear and Storm runner but the storm runner is closed for the season. Social distance and limiting the amount of people to the park made the wait lines very bearable .

When Hersheypark announced the name for *skyrush* I said "what a stupid name for a coaster at Hersheypark. Was the theming department on vacation?" Skyrush is quickly becoming *not family friendly* and for a theme park in the "family friendly" business..... that's an issue. Every really good coaster feels like it is a mile too short.
@groovynipple7092 4 жыл бұрын
Exactly, that’s why I feel they added this coaster even though they have Skyrush already. They needed a massive thrill coaster that was still rideable for the whole family. I love this coaster. I can’t wait to get back and ride it again.

Hershey in 5-10 could most likely get a Giga but 200ft and above is still a very tall coaster Hershey has some amazing coasters some of the best out there and maybe they could get a Giga in 5-10 60-80 percent chance of earlier or a bit later but most likely could happen eventually and the rides there will last a very long time and won’t get outdated for a very long time
