Two identical Chance Toboggan-style roller coasters stood where the Mini-Himalaya exists currently. Riders would enter two-person cars, which were pulled to the top of a vertical lift inside a shaft, before spiraling down around the shaft, and hitting a small drop. Two of these rides still exist in Pennsylvania, at Lakemont Park and Conneaut Lake Park.
These were added when Carousel Circle was built, a part of the 1972 renovations to Hersheypark. These rides were removed in 1977, and were not moved to another park.
