Hersheypark teases major October 3 announcement

On September 12, Hersheypark posted on social media a teaser for the park’s “biggest announcement ever” in their history. This is more than likely related to the proposed 23 acre expansion of Hersheypark which was submitted to Derry Township for necessary approvals in the late spring. This proposed expansion includes a relocation of the main gate from its current location to where Tram Circle is currently located, as well as the addition of a major attraction for 2020 which is a roller coaster and possibly more.

The “biggest announcement ever” will be on October 3.
