Hersheypark (operating as "Hershey Park" through 1970) is an amusement park located in Hershey, Derry Township, Pennsylvania. The park was formally opened by Milton S. Hershey on May 30, 1906, and it became an entity of Hershey Estates when the estates company was established in 1927. From its opening in 1906 until 1970, it was an open-gate park. In 1971, the park was gated and an entry fee charged. This was the first preparations for the renovation project designed by R. Duell and Associates that would begin in 1972. This is a list of former Hersheypark attractions.
The first ride the park removed was also the first purchased for the park, a Herschell-Spillman carousel called the "merry-go-round." It was in the park from 1908 until 1912.[citation needed]
