Ok , so we went to hersey park after it opened. We stayed at Hershey park camping resort. I will start off by saying this place is nothing like the fort. Closest sites I ever camped on. Good thing I only had a neibour for one night. The workers at the campground were nice and accommodating, but covaid made a lot of the stuff worse. Pool was ok and not crowded. Bathrooms clean and decent. Campground wasn't particularly manicured. This could be because of then just opening the parks. But the campgeound was open before that, weeds and trash were in my fire ring. Not that i would use it because it was right against the cars. Lol.
Now the park, they took temperatures and asked questions. It wasnt busy or crowded but everything was haphazardly done. Rides were closed, lack of people lead to lack of staff. The staff they did have were new and really unhelpful but pleasent. As an example, when getting a drink refill in there cup at a reduced rate because i bought the cup they day before, the girl of 17 or so asked me why the price was set like that, and i had to explane the hersey policy to her. In the end she gave up and gave me the drink for free, because she wasnt trained on that. No maps, and there ride ap didnt work. So we could barly find our way around to get to a ride that said was open, and we got there and it wasnt. Water slides were closed due to covid. Even though it is destoyed by the chlorine. Some rides were vigorously disinfected, and others had used masks in them from the day before. Everyone wore masks, well at the start of the day. Once tempatures went into the 90s and the heat and walking got to us, they were moatly around everyones neck. So. To sum up camping resort( it was far from that) 3 of 5 stars. Park itself 4 of 5 stars. We did get to ride the bigger rides with minimun wait times, if they were open! The park was immaculately clean. Staff was new, like still being trained new. And the covaid policies were i consistent, if not irratating. They had blocked off the wave pool so you had to walk 2x as far to enter into a turnstile. The same could have been achived by placing the turnstiles at the entrance, but what do i know about about this ,lol. They really had no one coordinate this stuff.
