Today I went to Hershey Park with my mom. Hershey Park is, of course, the big huge factory/resort area/amusement park where Hershey chocolate is based. Picture Willy Wonka except without the oompa-loompahs, river full of chocolate, and things that could turn you into a giant blueberry, make you a TV picture or let you fly in the air due to soda bubbles . We went on this ride there, called "Chocolate Factory," which was this Disneyland-like ride in which you get into a car, get taken around on some track, and get the story of Hershey's complete with animetric cows going moo and a voice over the intercom telling you the story. They even had an "It's a Chocolate World" type ending!

Then we did the "Sweet, Sweet World" 3-D Experience which was a fifteen minute film, all in 3D showing you the joys of chocolate. The room rumbled, water splashed, and giant cartoon chocolate bars came flying out at you. And it was all introduced to you by the guy who played J Peterman on "Seinfeld."

It was awesome.
