Overview: Hersheypark was built in 1905 by Milton Hershey as a picnic grounds for his chocolate factory employees, in 1907 they began adding attractions which is when it became an amusement park in truth. By 1923 they added their first roller coaster, the original Wildcat. Once that happened the park began to add rides on a regular schedule except during the years of WWII. In the 1970's the park went through a period of re-development, eventually expanding the 110 acre park it is today that features 11 roller coasters and dozens of flat rides.
