One of the FUN parts of being a Roller Coaster YouTuber (Derrick is, I’m just a vlogger) is when we’re invited to Media Events for the opening of new attractions!
Which is precisely what brought Derrick (XscreamThrills) and I to #Hersheypark last week: the opening of the newly renovated and re-themed Jolly Rancher Remix (previously known as Sidewinder) + their new flat ride: Mix’d!
Even though the park was absolutely CRAZY busy, we still had the best day – and that’s all thanks to the other YouTubers and enthusiasts we hung out with! Meeting up with old friends and meeting new friends is one of my favorite parts of being in this community – it was such a fun day!
Some of the coaster enthusiasts in my video (and some not in the video but still friends we met along the way):

PS: Why is it always overcast when we go to Hersheypark? Maybe one day, we’ll go to the park and it will be sunny and all of our photos and videos won’t be so BLAH!
Of course, what is a post without photos? Here are a few of my favorite images from our day (mostly taken with my “big” camera – I have the Canon R6 – but a few take with my iPhone 12 Pro too).
