Hershey Park is a well rounded park with water rides, roller coasters, rides for small kids, and very wholesome entertainment. It is a manageable size. The new Fahrenheit roller coaster had a 90 minute wait on what was an otherwise quite slow day at the park and left us disappointed in what it was compared to the wait. There was no shade for much of that line so be sure to bring lots of sunscreen. Security at this ride for items that have to be left by riders (glasses, cell phones, etc) is very poor as there is just one open set of shelves that another group of riders has access to while you are riding. My daughter had her sunglasses stolen. The park does better at other rides so I am not sure why this is such an oversight here. Storm Chaser is still our favorite. The admission price and food prices are expensive though not out of line with other parks. A day for a family of four for just parking, admission, and food (lunch and one round of snacks and medium drinks - overall food was not very good) cost about $330. That did not include any games, souvenirs, or other expenses.
Pros: Convenient location
Cons: Food was low quality/expensive, Security at new ride is poor - had item stolen
