...among the changes.. Milton's Dad.. Milton's mom..  a boy who was raised in Hershey's School for boys (and now works at the factory) and a "Swedish Chef" working at the Hotel Hershey... (the most annoying character,by far).

Checking out the Hershey Museum!
We got here about 10-quarter after 4pm.. the Museum closes at 5pm Sundays.. Suffice to say we only saw a couple exhibits: the Hershey Park Comet (w/film) and the clock...

Off to Hershey Park for the twighlight ticket!

park rules
first.. the rules!!  You don't see these at Disneyland! (which is too bad, in some cases)
 
 

state law
more rules..  Pennsylvania State code governing the responsibilities of the rider..
 
 

the chips looked better than they tasted
homemade 'kettle' chips.. these are sliced then dropped into the deep fryer.. not kettle cooked. We had some brats and chips.. the chips weren't very remarkable..  and had we seen them actually dropping the chips in 'erl we may have changed our order.. we left a LOT of chips in our basket..
