Hersheypark | Twizzlers Twisted Gravity | S&S Screamin' Swing | 2025

[ECG]

Today Hersheypark announced details of its new-for-2025 Twizzlers Twisted Gravity attraction. At 137 feet (41.75 m), it will be the tallest S&S Screamin' Swing in the world. Riders will soar high above Spring Creek in The Hollow region of the park at speeds up to 68 mph (109 km/h). Guests can sit in one of four branded zones across two gondolas, featuring the Twizzlers Strawberry, Cherry, Hershey’s Chocolate and Black Licorice-flavored designs.

2 things:

1. For some reason I read that as S&S Sky Swat and got really stupidly excited for about 3 seconds.

2. How long are we giving it until like every other Screamin' Swing in the US, it starts running with only 1 arm?

I give hope - Skyhawk at CP (which I believe holds the current height record?) still has regular 2 arm operation.

As much as I want to hate these sky swings, enticed by the far more fun to watch pendulum rides; dang it, these still give such a fun ride! Neat to see Hershey adding as solid new flat option.

1 arm operation? Then I have to think about the Screaming Swing that KBF used to have. That was one with only one arm.
