The rides haven’t received names yet, but details of the additions were posted on the park’s website:

Family Coaster

The park will open a family coaster, which looks like a Zamperla Family Gravity Coaster model. The coaster will be located in Music Box Way adjacent to the GEICO Fender Bender ride. “This helix-shaped memory machine will allow our younger guests to experience the thrill of a coaster for the first time!” the park states.

Surprisingly, Hersheypark has been without a small “kid-friendly” coaster like this since the park’s Mini-Comet closed in 1978.

Tea Cups

The park will also debut a classic tea cups-style ride, which will open in “The Hollow” area of the park. This may be a Zamperla product as well.

Family Swing

Also opening in The Hollow area is a Zamperla Happy Swing.

Two New Eateries

Guests will also find two new dining options in 2014: “Chickie’s & Pete’s, the legendary Philadelphia/South Jersey eatery known for their signature crabfries” as well as a frozen yogurt stand.

Kudos to Hersheypark for including family-friendly offerings in their new attraction investments.
