[Verse 1 – Hopes on High] We hit the road at the crack of light, Hearts like rockets, spirits in flight. Hershey Park, the sacred ground, Where legends loop and dreams unbound. Candy in hand, maps in our grip, Ready for thrill on this chocolate trip. First up: Super Dooper Looper’s name— An hour wait... for a loop so lame. 😐 [Chorus – A Cracked First Drop] We said, "It’s fine, we’ve just begun, The real fun's in that mega one." The Great Bear roared beyond the trees— A steel-winged beast in coasterese. But the skies grew gray, the line grew still, And a worker whispered, “We’re closing the hill.” We stood in front, our hearts implored… But the Great Bear never roared. [Verse 2 – The Longest Storm] Then came the rain… a slow cruel fall, Three whole hours with no ride at all. We huddled wet near pretzel stands, While the skies played drums on our frozen hands. Hope returned in a fiery name— Fahrenheit. Our chance to reclaim. A vertical lift, a heart attack twist, Our moment of glory could not be missed! [Bridge – Fate Strikes Twice] We stood in line, through drizzle and wind, Jokes and dreams and calories sinned. The coaster clanked, the seats were near, Our time had come—we could almost cheer... But then the sky let loose again, A monsoon tantrum, pure disdain. And as we stood in the very front row, The ride shut down. Our hearts said: No. [Final Chorus – The Day the Coasters Died] Soaked to the bone, dreams turned to steam, We left behind the Hershey dream. Two almost-rides, four hours in lines, And nothing to show but snack food fines. No scream, no speed, no drops defied— It was the day the coasters died. The Great Bear slept, Fahrenheit froze, And all we had were wet, sad clothes. As we drove home through thunder's moan, We left our joy on that steel and stone. [Outro – Candy-Coated Grief] Now when they ask how Hershey goes, We say: “Bring towels. And... low hopes.” No legends rode, no glory tried... Just heartbreak where thrill should've lied. 🎢💔🌧️
