A Look Inside of Laff Trakk at Hersheypark and How You Can be One of the First to Ride!

It's been a while since we've checked in on what Hersheypark has been up to with it's newest coaster, Laff Trakk. However, I think that the wait has been worth it on this one.

Not only do we have shots of what's inside the ride building but also info on how you can become one of the very first riders to take on the world's first and only "Spinning Glow Coaster".

So, that said, let's get down to it and first up we'll go with the first rider info.

It's a pretty simple one, no charity auctions or bidding, just pure chance and a very short window. The park has set up a contest where three lucky winners will be picked at random. The winners, along with 3 guests each will get the VIP treatment for the Laff Trakk Glow Party and get to enjoy the entire park as well.

The contest runs now thru midnight tonight. That's right, just one day to get in on this, so if you're wanting a chance, head on over to the site and fill out of the form!

Now, there was that whole matter of what's inside. Got ya covered there too! Here's some lights on pictures that were taken recently during testing!

Laff Trakk Construction Continues at Hersheypark

Hersheypark is continuing to move forward with their newest coaster as well. Coming sometime in 2015, will be Laff Trakk, the world's first indoor spinning glow coaster. Yeah, that's a bit of a mouthful there, but it's definitely cool to see a dark ride/dark coaster being built out there as they're always a good time.

That said, quite a lot of steel has been going up on the site where the ride will inhabit, but not a single piece of track yet. So far the construction has been limited to just the building that will house the ride.

This one is definitely curious and I gotta admit, I'm looking forward to it, even if it's considered more "family friendly" not an extreme scream machine like some others that are going up around the world this year. If you're curious as to just what they're up to, check out coverage of the announcement to see video and a lot more detail about the ride.

Here's just a few pictures of what's been going on over at Hersheypark, thanks to the folks over at All American Thrills. Can see more shots of not only Laff Trakk, but the entire park as a whole too over on their site.

Hershey Park Announces Laff Trakk - First Indoor Spinning Glow Coaster!

Looks like our earlier hunch of an indoor spinning coaster was correct. After weeks of teasing, Hersheypark finally announced that the world's first indoor spinning glow coaster, Laff Trakk, will be coming to the park in 2015!

Built by German coaster manufacturer, Maurer & Söhne, the ride will honor the long and storied fun house history at Hersheypark. The ride cars will hold four riders in a back to back configuration and will be a true 360 degree experience as they spin their way through the madness.

The coaster itself will reach speeds of up to 45mph on the first drop and is being touted as a great family coaster by Maurer & Söhne. How so? The spinning motion is being described as "gentle" and not to severe like other spinning coasters out there.

Laff Trakk will be the 13th coaster for Hersheypark and is set to open in May of 2015 in the park's Midway America section.

Curious of what it'll look like? Here's the animation POV straight from Hersheypark!
