That's unfortunate. It's very popular during Christmas for the light show.

Unfortunate but not surprised. I know after COVID it was rarely open due to staffing shortages and I wonder if they just decided to cut it due to that.

I did get a chance to ride it last year, at least. RIP - another ride culled during the 2024 death wave.

What remains on opening day:

Still working on cleaning up Skyview, photos from 4/20. They did paint the support to blend with Great Bear.

No real movement but the parts for the Sky View are out behind Candymonium, visible from the lift.

More work this week. Looks like they’re turning this into seating.

I didn't realize my first ride (2024) on Skyview would be my last! It was my first time at Hershey too.

I guess it’s almost done? Looks like a character meet and greet?

This is now “Twizzlers Terrace” - which is between the other M&G locations in the front half of the park.
