The story of Candymonium
Hersheypark chose Bolliger & Mabillard to build Candymonium as a steel Hyper Coaster for the park’s new entrance district. It was planned as the park’s tallest, fastest and longest coaster, with a broad out-and-back course beside Spring Creek. stories.hersheypa.com· hersheypark.com
Construction called for a considerable steel framework, with the track assembled in sections before the finished structure was tested. The park’s own account records the work from its first foundations through the completion of the track and final preparations for visitors. stories.hersheypa.com
Candymonium opened to the public on July 3, 2020, arriving with the reopening of Hersheypark’s new entrance district. From the approach to the park, its great lift hill gives the visitor an immediate view of the engineering that awaits. stories.hersheypa.com· coaster101.com
Early trade coverage reported a positive reception for the new coaster. Hersheypark also noted praise for its smoothness and for the changing character of the ride from one row to another. blooloop.com
