Hershey Park has taken on more water than they have in recent history. Hershey Pennsylvania has had over 9 inches of rain in a very quick amount of time. The streams, rivers, low lying areas and storm drains cannot handle all of the water.
As a result, Hershey Park has been submerged in several areas of the park. Zoo America is also under water. Two of the bison that are at the park have passed away as a resutl of the rising waters.
Hershey Park Drive has also taken on water. The road is completely closed. The Pizza Hut and Wendy's that is located near the park is completely submerged. The Hershey area will be closed for a while. Once the flood waters have receded, clean up efforts will take a while. While it may be the end of the summer season for Hershey Park, the park does not completely close down in the fall. There are Halloween and Christmas events held each year at the park. Hopefully the fun fall and winter events will still be able to take place at Hershey Park
