TR Dorney 5/28

[coastersue]

Our friends from New England decided to make a quick stop at Dorney on Monday since some of them needed credits there.  Since we know the park well, we met up with them to make sure they got on everything they wanted.  Just as I had promised them, they were able to ride every coaster in the park within the first hour.  Even though the park opens at 10, Dorney opens some of the rides near the entrance earlier as long as they're ready which is a really nice touch.  They were able to ride both Wild Mouse and Talon before the park was officially opened.  They easily rode all the coasters, the flat rides that they wanted, and had lunch before 1 pm when they had to hit the road.

Ride Count(for me)

Talon: 1
Steel Force: 1
Thunderhawk: 1
Zephyr Train: 1
Whip: 1
Bumper Cars: 1

I need that Woodstock credit!

I still have yet rode the Zephyr Train.   Sue,  Nice trip reports.. it Looks like you had a  really great weekend.

[coastersue]

Come get your Woodstock credit, Dan!  They had no problem with adults riding it.

You should check out the Zephyr next time you're at Dorney.  It's a very cozy ride.  We call it the claustrophobic train.  Of course everyone always has to comment that it sounds like Rolling Thunder.

HA HA HA HA. Yeah, well...

How were the lines?? Was it crowded?

^ It seems it wasn't busy at all.  Most people who go to Dorney sit in the water park all day and ride coasters at night. If you really wanted to , you could be in and out in less then 2 hours.

Dorney very rarely gets crowded.  Wildwater Kingdom gets VERY crowded though.  They only time the rides seem to get long lines is after WWK closes for the night.

I'm heading up Next Friday for Coasterwhatever ?
I need to get my MAXX-PASS validated before Ohio

I also have to get on Woodstock's Express

[coastersue]

Not sure yet, but we might see you at Coaster Madness, Tom.  We actually might just go for the lunch and skip the ERT's.

[ChuckR]

I need my Woodstock Credit as well.

I missed last year but 2 years ago  I went by myself (it was a Friday) and I did the AM ERT Lunch then a few more then left about 4pm  lines not bad.

I may bring some friends and maybe try the waterpark  its been about 15 years since I been in there.

But normally the AM ERT and the afternoon is all I needed  I'm not a big Hydra fan.

Were you at Coaster Madness on Friday, Tom?  We never saw you.

[PcMan]

I didn't go
A Friend of Mine had Free Nascar Race tickets in Dover for that Monday so I never seen a race so I went.
I would have gone by myself anyway.
2 days off in one week whould have been to much

But I'm going Tomorrow to get my Maxxpass validated for the coastermania trip

but I would have loved to have gone
How was it ?

[coastersue]

It was OK, but it was very hot out.  The night ERT also got cut short due to a thunderstorm.
