Welcome To Screamscape!

Resort News - (5/8/08) A general photo trip report from Hersheypark has been posted to BrandonsCoasters.
  (5/5/08) According to the latest picture sent in (see sidebar), the Coal Cracker’s drop has been replaced.
  (4/11/08) In addition to some shots of the Coal Cracker being worked on, many readers have spotted a new “Something Cooler Is Coming” sign, listing that the 2009 annoucement will take place on July 1st. It seems that this may be the announcement that the rapids will be removed to make way for the new wave pool expansion previously rumored. We’ve also heard that Rodeo is also likely to be removed by the end of the season as well.
  (4/9/08) New pictures from Hersheypark can be found at BrandonsCoasters.com. In addition to some good shots of Fahrenheit they’ve posted some shots of the missing drops on Coal Cracker. From what I understand the original plan was to perform some extensive maintenance on the flumes in the off season next year, but since one of the drops needed work now they just decided do the work on the drops now and are expected to finish up the rest of the at the end of the season.
  (4/2/08) A Screamscape reader sent in a couple of pictures (see sidebar) of Hersheyparks Coal Cracker flume ride, where it seems the drop has gone missing. No word on when it will be put back together, but I wouldn’t expect to see it up again by the season opener this weekend.
  (3/18/08) Apparently there is some kind of class action lawsuit against Hersheypark that will affect anyone who used a credit card at the park between December 2006 and September 2007. By signing the right forms you can receive vouchers for goodies or an $8 off your ticket coupon. Read the details here.
  (1/28/08) Screamscape sources tell us that Hersheypark is looking into adding some kind of Virtual Queue system to the park in the near future. I’ve no idea if they are just doing their own thing or planning on using an existing system like Lo-Q’s Q-Bot. We’ve also heard that we should keep our eyes peeled at the Hersheypark website for a new webcam that is expected to be mounted to Tidal Force to follow the construction of Fahrenheit.
 

2008 - Fahrenheit and Howler - (5/7/08) A video clip of Fahrenheit making a test run has been loaded into YouTube. The park has also added a bunch of signs promoting a Hersheypark Fan Club website.

  (5/6/08) Lots more pictures of Fahrenheit testing have been posted to Coasterdom.
  (5/5/08) There has been lots of buzz from people
