Candymonium is being claimed to be “The World’s Sweetest Coaster”. This B&M hypercoaster will feature a 210 foot lift, contain 7 airtime hills, and reach a top speed of 76 MPH. The ride’s length is 4,636 feet long and will accommodate 3 trains, each themed to different Hershey’s products: Hershey, Reeses and Twizzlers. The ride will traverse 7 acres.
The Chocolatetown expansion in whole is a 150 million dollar investment by the park. Along with the new rollercoaster, the area will feature a restaurant, ice cream parlor, gift shop, Starbucks, fountain and relocation of the park’s carousel.

All in all, Candymonium should be a perfect compliment to the park’s other hypercoaster: Skyrush. We look to hearing more and following the construction of this ride as we near its Summer 2020 opening.
