Introducing Twizzlers Twisted Gravity™ giant swing. Ascend 137 adrenaline-pumping feet, defy gravity as you swing at speeds reaching 68 MPH, and experience multiple mind-bending zero G moments. Brace yourself, our all-new Twizzlers-inspired adventure and sweeping new views open summer 2025.

 

Looks like fun and you'll get a great view of it from the Overlook Food Court. It's a shame Hershey is 7½ hours from here. I'd love to ride this next year, but that's too far to drive for a single weekend trip.

This might be the best placement for a S&S Screaming Swing ever.

Definitely great placement, but difficult to beat the one at BGW where you're swinging out over the edge of a large cliff.

^The hill it's on is pretty steep, so you get the verticality along with the proximity to Great Bear.

You can always combine Hershey with a trip to Dorney and Knoebels.  That is what we did this summer.  It was a Saturday through Wednesday trip (with Wednesday being a travel day back home).

Looks like a nice addition to the park.  I really love the new entrance area that they built for the park.

What I find kind of humorous is that a channel I watch, Theme Park Recommendations, originally predicted that Wildcat's Revenge was going to be re-named Twisted Twizzlers. 

This will be a great addition to Hersheypark. Seems I need to make a return trip since I haven't been there since before the new entrance and Candymonium.

I did the same thing this summer (with Great Adventure between Hershey and Dorney). If I weren't planning to head down to Virginia next year I'd consider it again. The Chocolate Town area they built is really nice.

I love these rides and am happy more parks are getting them. 

I really wish KI would get one.

I would love for KI to have one 

Here is what this cliff looks like. I took this when I was there in July. This is one of the highest points in the park.

What is it replacing?

It's replacing an amphitheater. I interned there in summer 2022 and it was boarded up by then; I don't know when it was last used.

Ah. Thanks.
