I went to visit a friend in Hershey today and I decided to stop in Chocolate World to pick up some delicious candy. I also happened to grab a couple of photos of the Fahrenheit track sitting in the parking lot as well as a few shots of Lightning Racer with snow on it.

Shot from the Chocolate World lot

Another shot

The crane in the background is where all of the current work is taking place

I wonder what area of the coaster those will be used on

The blue supports are a little brighter then I first thought, but they don’t look bad at all

The track was nice and shinny thanks to the few inches of snow that melted this morning

See what I mean with the support color, also notice how massive they are

The crane is currently in the center of the construction spot. I believe that footers are still being poured as I saw a few concrete trucks pull out of the site today.

I leave you with a shot of Lightning Racer covered with snow. There are a few other shots of the snow covered ride here.

Please note that all pictures were taken from the Chocolate World parking lot or from the exit road. The Lightning Racer pictures were taken from the Wendy’s across the street from the park.
