Hersheypark now open daily for summer

HERSHEY, PA–Hersheypark amusement park is now open daily through Sept. 1 (Labor Day) for new thrills, water park splashes, Twizzlers-inspired treats and a new Hershey Character trivia show. 

New for summer 2025, Twizzlers Twisted Gravity opens to the public at Hersheypark on May 24, as the World’s Tallest Screamin’ Swing. The Boardwalk At Hersheypark water park also opens over the holiday weekend on May 24 and remains open daily through Sept. 1, weather permitting.

ALL-NEW TWIZZLERS TWISTED GRAVITY: Manufactured by S&S Worldwide, Twizzlers Twisted Gravity is a world record-breaking high-thrill pendulum attraction opening at Hersheypark on May 24.

  • The one-minute and 10-second experience begins as riders of Hershey’s height category (48-54”) and above sit in one of four branded zones across two gondolas featuring the Twizzlers Strawberry, Cherry, Hershey’s Chocolate and Black Licorice-flavored designs. 
  • Riders ascend 137 adrenaline-pumping feet, defy gravity at speeds reaching 68 miles per hour and experience multiple mind-bending zero G moments as they swing high above Spring Creek in The Hollow region of Hersheypark.

THREE EXPERIENCES IN ONE: The largest amusement park in Pennsylvania features three experiences in one this summer – all accessible via a single admission.

  • In addition to Twizzlers Twisted Gravity, more than 70 family-friendly rides, including the most coasters in the Northeast with 15, are open weather and maintenance permitting.
