I went to the Hershey’s factory back in 1964( when I think of those huge vats of chocolat..Oh My!![:p] but I digress) My point is the park has been around since 1907, it was founded by Milton Hershey for his employees. Since I was on a school trip back in ’64 after the factory tour we went to the park & I rode the rickety wooden roller coaster!!

Ocdreamr, you’re correct about Hersheypark, I misspoke. What I meant was the giant mega theme park that is there today wasn’t yet built when I was there. I think that was built in the mid 70’s. The only point I was trying to make was that back in the early 70’s, Hershey actually gave tours of the real factory, and the attractions were very quaint, nothing at all like what’s there now.
