Buzz light year copy

Post by Dr. Ravenscroft » May Mon 29, 2006 9:13 pm

I was watching so TV tonight and there was a commercial for Hershey Park. They now have a ride called Reese's Extreme Cup Challenge, it is really close to being one of the Buzz rides. I can't tell which one because the commercial was kind of short and I wasn't paying attention. Also the website doesn't have any pics of the actual ride.

Main Website:

Facts about the ride:

I will try to find some pics or a copy of the commercial so all of you can see.

Apparently you go through in a Reese's cup (Star Cruiser) and shoot targets for some reason they want you to get a higher score than someone else because reese's are made of chocalate............uh maybe not for that reason but they do want you to compete.

I don't know I thought you would all want to see this.

Many of the Paramount parks have a "clone" of this too but with a Scooby Doo theme. Pretty fun ride with moderately nice theming.

The only thing that would make this ride cooler than the Buzz lightyear ride... is if they fed you chocolate on it. hehehe

Not to get off topic, but I hear their free "factory" tour ride has been redone too. That ride always reminded me of something you'd find in Epcot.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

That factory ride tour is great - Hershey is actually a very well done theme park worth a day or two visit. The chocolate theme is way fun and they actually have some super cool coasters and some great family attractions too - the park has two distinct areas - the old part which is very nostalgic and the new part with most of the new thrill rides.
