Unfortunately, I don't think so. I was just up Saturday and they're putting in the slots now. There really doesn't appear to be any plan towards getting the access to live racing opened up prior to the casino opening. The temporary structure isn't far away, but it sucks you can go out and see the temporary paddock but there is no view of the track you're forced to go back inside and watch on closed circuit tv.

Yes it is, about 7 miles. If you continue on Hershey Park Drive East and turn left onto 743, keep going straight it's right over I81 you can't miss it.
