We left right as school let out, on the last day, and drove to Hershey, Pennsylvania. Just as we got there, the skies opened up and it started to pour. We headed to Hersheypark anyway (they let you come free for the last two and a half hours of the day if you have a ticket for the next day).

It rained steadily, but never got too hard. Most things were open and we got to ride 35 rides in our two-and-a-half-hour preview (yes, Byron counted). At least we had jackets and ponchos.

Looks like more of the same to come tomorrow. I’m trying to stay positive. We lose the whole awesome water park, but gain that the park is EMPTY. Last night I rode the Farenheit, which normally has a two-hour wait. I walked on, and even walked on the front row. Then we came around and no one was waiting so I rode front row straight through again. It was crazy. Sometimes being a bit damp can be worth it.
