Hershey Park

On April 9, 2012 I went to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania with my cousins. In case you were wondering, it is next to the place where they make Hershey’s chocolate. I even went to the factory! But that’s another story. As soon as we went in I saw some huge stuffed animals with giant heads. I asked my parents if we could try to win them. They said okay. You had to throw a ball in a jar. I tried but missed every time. My brother tried but missed every time. My cousin tried and he made it! He chose a leopard. He named it Bobby the Bighead (BtB). Then my cousin, my mom, and I went on a roller coaster called Comet. My dad and brother were too chicken to go on. We went up, then DOWN! I think it went over 70 miles an hour. We went over a river. There was a good view. Then we went on bumper cars. In the beginning I didn’t bump anyone. Then, near the end, I rammed into my dad! Then we went on swings. It sounds boring but it’s actually really fun. It lifts you up 40 feet into the air and spins you around really fast. Once again my dad and brother were to chicken to go on. Next I went on a pirate ship. When one side was on ground level the other was 40 feet into the air. I sat at the very end so when I did go down it would be fun. When I went down I couldn’t move my body. My brother and dad (being there typical selves) sat in the middle. My dad said he was terrified and my brother said the middle is the scariest.  No way brother! Then I went on something called Starship America. It spins you around and you can make it go up and down. I controlled it. I made it go up and down. Then I went on Comet again. When I went up I saw Venus and Orion. This time I couldn’t see the lake. It was funJ
