Hersheypark 2020 Coaster

[Maverick44]

HersheyPark  will announce the new coaster on July 24th at 10:30 am! I was invited to attended the announcement. I will have to toggle something's at work to try and make it there! If I go I will for sure be live on my Coaster Conquest page!

[MaxxForce]

I can't wait!

[Maverick44]

Should be pretty awesome! I guess B&M did a great job with this coaster from what I hear. So I can't wait to see the stats.

For those of you who listen to coaster radio podcast they have already named this coaster Poop Chute 

[Maverick44]

That is pretty funny. I mean I wouldn't ever make a brown coaster track either lol. I really dunno what HP was thinking.

Huh... there's this one food that Hershey is known for that's brown that I can't seem to put my finger on...

[Maverick44]

Yikes I know they are known for chocolate haha. Brown is one of my least favorite colors. I wonder what color the supports will be? Yellow so the coaster looks like it had corn? haha

Don’t know why my thread was blocked for this one. I was talking about the new coaster possibly being a giga.

Its not a giga though. You're new here, as I once was, so its normal to want post threads. However, I implore you to use the search bar and read the TOS. Youll have less threads removed that way.

Looks like it will be a good addition to HP. Looks thrilling.

Am I alone in being disappointed that they didn’t name it Brown Streak?

Great addition for Hersheypark. I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip this past July. However, I won't be back any time soon as I found myself exhausted after going up and down hills all day.

I honestly can't believe no one even suggested the name Hershey Highway for this new addition.

I liked the name Poop Chute.

I don’t know. That sounds like a water slide to me.

Looks like Clifford is at Hersheypark working on Candymonium!

So I've seen so many people on Reddit and elsewhere saying, "this will probably jump to the front of my B&M hyper rankings."  ...why?  I don't see anything super special about this coaster.  After watching Candymonium's POV video, I still prefer Diamondback over this coaster.  I just don't get it.

True story... Years ago, when they put in the "Roller Soaker" - they held a contest to name it.  They had to toss out one of the most popular name suggestions - Hershey Squirts.
