Hersheypark Is Every Chocolate And Roller Coaster Lover's DREAM — Here's Why It's My Favorite Place

We all know about Hershey's chocolate, but have you ever been to Hersheypark?

Hersheypark has been ranked the sixth-best amusement park by USA Today. Here are some of the best roller coasters:

1. Skyrush

The first one is a new one and it is called Skyrush. This blue and yellow coaster only has a lap bar, so holding on to the handles is a necessity.

There is a 17 mph ascent to the top of a 200-foot hill and it then goes 75 mph. Because this coaster goes so fast and only has a lap bar, there are no loops and only hills. This coaster is very smooth and gives you such a rush.

2. Storm Runner

Next up is Storm Runner. This coaster is an Intamin accelerator and has a 0-72 mph launch. You can also see the entire park when you climb the hill.

This coaster has turns and loops and hills, which makes for so much fun. This is personally my favorite roller coaster at the park and I could ride it all day.

3. Fahrenheit

Another one is Fahrenheit. This coaster starts off with a slow descent to the top and once you get to the top, there is an inverted drop and you cannot see the track below you.

There is a Norwegian loop in this ride and many corkscrews, which makes for a fun and re-ridable coaster.

4. Great Bear

The last one to mention is Great Bear. On this coaster, your feet are dangling and because of this, there is a net underneath the ride to catch any shoes or loose items. This coaster has many loops and corkscrews that give you such a rush. You also get such a great view of the park!

If you haven't gone to Hersheypark, I suggest you do, because you won't regret it!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
