    Getting tired of seeing everything get closed. How about keep it open instead of disappointing everybody every damn day?! It wouldn’t be that hard to just keep it open

      My Wife, from Wilkes-Barre says this type of closure is an annual event.

      Only the Tidal Force is shutting down forever, not the park. .”However, the Pennsylvania vacation destination has not announced its exact reopening date for 2027.”

  2. People don’t realize how hard it is to get people to operate the rides. It’s a shame that the park may close after being open since 1901

      The park isn’t closing permo. “However, the Pennsylvania vacation destination has not announced its exact reopening date for 2027.”

    The original owner had great vision now corporate America is burying it. So Very Sad 😞
    Hershey Park Is A Family Tradition. Look out folks the candy we all know and love might be next, along with the school. Let me guess they are going to build a data center there, right???

      HersheyPark isn’t shutting down permanently, just the Tidal Force ride.

    It’s the ride that’s closing, not the park. 🙄

      Just was coming here to say that its a ride the park is doing amazing! The ride wasnt even there 120 yrs or whatever the title says… some rides come and go its called a theme park! Parts costs etc its alot. HP Happy is about to head into their top season of Dark Nights which btw is a top 5 haunt in the country beating hhn for 5 yrs! Hhn hos etc has awarded it a peer award for future of haunts! They run 3 events at once.

  5. Oh, Man! I can’t believe it that Hershey Park Announced Permanent Closure after 120 years!

    Y’all are making false statements. Hershey Park closed for the season on Sept 7. The Tidal Force water ride is permanently closing. Hershey will be reopened for Halloween and Christmas. You should really do some actual investigating before posting.
