After months of coronavirus precautions, Hersheypark is getting ready to reopen.

And when guests finally start visiting on July 3, they’ll be able to experience a new ride that’s billed as the park’s fastest, tallest and longest roller coaster.

Candymonium reaches 210 feet high with a max speed of 76 mph. The hypercoaster features seven camelback hills and a 123-degree hammerhead curve.

As part of the park’s reopening, new safety protocols have been rolled out:

• Face masks must be worn by all guests older than 2

• Touchless temperature screenings before guests can enter the park

• Practicing social distancing from other guests is encouraged

• Increased cleaning and sanitizing of high-touch areas

It’s recommended that park visitors purchase tickets in advance because guests without advanced reservations aren’t guaranteed admission. Season-pass holders and previous ticket purchasers need to reserve a date at the park’s website.
