Hersheypark preview is sweet

Arrived around dinner time here in Hershey tonight, and met Carrie for dinner. She hooked us up with discounts (because the park is a staggering $52 without), and you can use the tickets the night before for 2.5 hours before closing. We rocked out and hit every major coaster except Sooperdooperlooper, the mine train, the boomerang, and of course Storm Runner since it's not running.

Fahrenheit is... not bad. The drop is killer, but not nearly as "violent" as Maverick because the curve of the top is really big. The first several inversions feel like slow-motion, but it has a strong finish. Neat lift system too.

Ended the night on their old Arrow flume. Makes me miss White Water Landing. It's sad that no one has flumes like this anymore.

Tomorrow we'll get to really take it easy and enjoy the park without being pressured to get in long lines for credits. They're opening the new water park stuff, so I'm hoping people are flocking there.
