see it so please follow me [Music] it looks like it's going to be somewhat of a busy day here at hershey park the reservations are required to visit hershey's park i made mine yesterday and uh from the look at all these cars behind me looks like uh that may be necessary welcome to chocolate town the hershey's park has an interesting way of classifying riders on which rides they can ride each one goes into different category based on a candy you see how you measure up to the candy the hershey's kiss or the reese's and that will tell you what rides you're allowed to go on be a twizzler or even a jolly rancher got the temperature checks right here it's actually a tremendous line here at the front gate also please keep six feet between your party and others and we are in hershey park we have

masks heading into the hershey's chocolate tour dark ride all right we got the orange car girls [Music] all over the world hi my name is alex i'm a quality supervisor here at the hershey chocolate factory i was asked to be your guide today and i can't wait harvested and shipped to us from tropical regions around the world oh no we're going to be roasted we pour the blood to cocoa beans into large revolving roasters which get extremely hot through intense pressure and friction the grinding turns cocoa juice into the smooth dog liquid used to make milk and dark chocolate we pasteurize and condense the sweetened milk and then blend in the perfect amount of unsweetened chocolate clear and add a dash of vanilla this brings out the chocolate's rich tasty here's our friend's kids to explain the next step in the process flavor and color heavy loaf of smooth water burns crumbs until it reaches the silky liquid texture of milk chocolate all of that fresh delicious hershey's chocolate dishes is finally ready to be ready don't forget about reese's peanut butter cups my personal favorite one thank you whoo so that was hershey park it was a very big park very busy park and as you can see a very roller coaster heavy park lots of lots and lots of roller coasters so very very much a destination for a roller coaster enthusiast of course you gotta remember my pro tip here the uh the factory tour dark ride is free outside the park at the at the chocolate world which sits just outside the entrance of the park so if you can't afford a full day at hershey's park make sure to stop by and check out chocolate world thank you for joining me on this trip across pennsylvania to see all the amazing amusement parks i've been to an amusement park every day i think for the past six or seven
