Candymonium In 4K | Back Seat | POV | Hersheypark!

As soon as the park opened, I headed straight to this ride, so here's my reaction to riding Candymonium for the very first time, so I hope you enjoy the video.

Ride Info & Stats
Candymonium is a steel hypercoaster at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride was announced in 2018 and opened on July 3, 2020, with the new Hershey's Chocolatetown-themed section of the park. It is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the park, achieving a top speed slightly faster than Skyrush and being 10 feet (3.0 m) taller than the latter.

On October 3, 2018, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts revealed their "biggest announcement ever": a new 23-acre (9.3 ha) section of the park named Chocolatetown, as well as a new entrance plaza, both of which would open in 2020. The anchor attractions were scheduled to include a roller coaster, as well as a new shopping area and a fountain, built at a cost of 150 million US dollars! The new coaster was planned to be a hypercoaster, over 200 feet (61 m) tall, which required approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the filing with the FAA, the coaster was to be, at most, 220 feet (67 m) above ground level. The approval was later granted.

In July 2019, Hersheypark officials announced that the new roller coaster would be called Candymonium, marketed as the "world’s sweetest coaster". According to Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company CEO John Lawn, "the coaster was a key ingredient to the entire Hershey’s Chocolatetown". By that time, the first few track pieces and part of the station had been built.

In an Instagram post in October 2019, Hersheypark posted an image showing that construction on the lift hill was partially complete. In November 2019, Candymonium topped out when its lift hill was installed. The final track piece was installed in February 2020, though a opening date had not been announced at that time. Due to the pandemic in Pennsylvania, construction on Chocolatetown was delayed in April 2020, though construction resumed the next month, and the first test train on Candymonium ran on May 6, 2020. Candymonium officially opened on July 3, 2020 to the general public.
