And now, mere hours and a minute or two after that toilet-yeeting event, I share the start of pictures from our full day the 4th of July, Asbury Park Hershey Park.
On the way in to the park from certain entrances you pass these Hershey Trolley Works buses. I don't know when they were last working trolleys.
People answering the summons of the park's opening.
Oh yeah, this is the new gates. We were slightly ready for having An Ordeal as the park's tickets claimed you could use any full-day tickets to go in for a couple hours another evening but we were not at all confident about this.
Our first ride for the day was Candy Monium, the newest coaster and, as you see, a really huge one right up front of the park; we figured this was going to be the shortest line we'd see on it all day.
Despite that, the line was not short and there was at least one person clowning it up at my camera.
The decor includes fragments of the logos for various candies. This moment is also when I noticed and stopped being able not to notice that Kisses have a little kiss in the white space between the K and the I.
Finally we got to the station!
And here's a different rain from the one we were on, after the first couple hills and zooming over the midway outside Candy Monium.
And a mascot photo! With this we had seen at least one of the mascots for every park we had planned to visit!
Here, a secondary mascot of the Kiss watches helplessly as a kid plays in their ... dressing room?
We briefly joined the line for Comet, before deciding it was too long. But we were there while a performing band went past. We're big fans of performing bands at parks.
