I went there two years ago. If you like chocolate and roller coasters, it's a win-win.

We went on nearly everything, and some of the more memorable rides included
Lightning Racer - Take Wildcat and double it. There are two tracks that intertwine with one another and race to the finish
Fahrenheit - A coaster with a vertical lift and drop
SuperDooperLooper - A seemingly simple steel coaster, but quite rare these days as it has a single loop and just a lap bar to hold you in your seat - just keep your head back
Sidewinder - A "Boomerang" roller coaster. Ride only if you like having your head bashed around
Monorail - A simple ride around the park. Plus I like monorails
Kissing Tower - As far as I could tell, there wasn't much kissing going on, but it gives a scenic view of the park

We also did the "factory tour" at the Chocolate World. It's not really a factory, just a simulated Disney-like ride through mock ups, but they give free chocolate at the end.

I can't really have chocolate, but my cousin who's nearly 13 may enjoy it. She's from Seoul. My parents and I never been to Hershey Park. It's about 3 hours from where we live. We already booked reservations at this Bed and Breakfast near the amusement park. We prefer Bed and Breakfasts over hotels. It's much cheaper. The Bed and Breakfast website does list various tourist attractions to see both in Hershey and in nearby Harrisburg. It is quite helpful. I'm already planning on where to go in the spring next year. Possibly Charlottesville, VA. I wonder if Hershey area has any hauntings. :P
