HERSHEY, Pa. — A new thrill ride will swing its way into Hersheypark next year, officials with Pennsylvania's largest amusement park said Tuesday.
Twizzlers Twisted Gravity, a "high-thrill pendulum attraction," will be "the tallest screamin' swing in the world" when it opens next summer, Hersheypark said in a press release.
The ride clocks in at one minute, 57 seconds. During the experience, riders of the Hershey's height category (54" and above) will ascend 137 feet and reach speeds of 68 mph while experiencing zero-G moments as they swing high above Spring Creek in the park's Hollow Region.
Manufactured by S&S Worldwide, the all-new Twizzlers-inspired adventure is the newest candy to join the iconic Hersheypark skyline. Guests will sit in one of four branded zones across two gondolas, featuring the Twizzlers Strawberry, Cherry, Hershey’s Chocolate and Black Licorice-flavored designs.
“We continue to invest in attraction experiences that leverage unique Hershey brands, so we are thrilled to add a Twizzlers-branded Screamin’ Swing to our unmatched ride portfolio next summer,” said Vikki Hultquist, Vice President of Hersheypark & Entertainment Operations. “Twizzlers Twisted Gravity will provide our guests with the best of both worlds -- the ultimate thrills and never-before-seen views of our Park’s beautiful 121 acres as they soar to a record-breaking height and leave gravity behind.”
Twizzlers Twisted Gravity will join more than 70 rides, a water park and a zoo included with admission as part of three parks in one. Following its summer 2025 debut, Twizzlers Twisted Gravity will be open for all four seasons, weather permitting.
