Pulse: Pursuits: 60-Second critic: Hersheys Grand Expansion
While Six Flags, Inc., was filing for Chapter 11, local favorite Hersheypark has been following up its 2007 Boardwalk water park and 2008 Fahrenheit coaster with an awesome $67 million “Grand Expansion” that includes the SeaQuel (a 378,000-gallon water-park add-on) and 10 impeccable cottages (nice for family getaways) — plus a year-round outdoor ice rink; bocce, basketball and tennis courts; and a vast outdoor pool complex with water slides, an adult-swim section and rentable cabanas. If you still haven’t taken your summer vacation, this is a totally sweet Shore alternative.
