Dancing Waters: The Short-Lived Gem of Hersheypark
After the 1972 flood, Hersheypark sought to fill the gap left by the lost flume ride. Management chose the ‘Dancing Waters’ fountain, created by Otto Przystawik, as a tribute to the Electric Fountain in the old Sunken Gardens. Operating from 1973 to 1974, the show featured 4,000 jets and music synchronization before being replaced by grass and later a midway.
