The Senate Has Voted to Eliminate Public Media Funding

The Senate has passed the Recissions Act of 2025, which would completely defund public media. The amended bill now heads back to the House for consideration.

This vote threatens federal support for WITF — putting at risk the educational programs, trusted news and emergency communications our community relies on, both locally and from PBS and NPR.

Hersheypark introduces new interactive ride for summer 2019

Hersheypark’s newest attraction for 2019 has been revealed.

The new ride, Reese’s Cupfusion, “merges the world’s love of chocolate and peanut butter with a dark ride gaming experience to create a sweet sensory adventure for the entire family. Agents are equipped with state-of-the-art gear to protect the factory and earn points on every mission,” according to the Hersheypark website.

The ride will engage sight, smell, touch and sound, all while players aim to earn points.

During the ride, the rider becomes a “Reese’s Agent Trainee at Reese’s Central.” As an agent, the players’ mission is to protect the Crystal Cup. Guests can unlock additional features and try to beat their score with every ride to become a Reese’s Legend in the Hall of Fame.

The ride will be located in Founder’s Way and is expected to debut summer 2019.
