I was at Clementon on Sunday. It reminded me of Waldameer...

 ^ Wow, I hope not!  I'm looking forward to my trip to Waldameer. Sure I like Clementon being so close to home, Hellcat and the Waterpark but Waldameer looks like it has so much more to offer.

Waldameer has plenty more to offer... the park itself just felt a whole lot "nicer" than most parks I've been to. RFII is the lick. Steel Dragon was fun, the drop ride owns you, the staff, minus a few RFII peeps, were friendly... you'll love it Bubba. I wonder if I can make a switch at work and we can go to Waldameer on the 1st??


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

Trip Report
I'm not going to type a whole report of a park that I've done numurous trip reports from. So, just enjoy the pictures. And read the captions for discriptions ;)

Photos

After waking up from our hooker motel in the middle of nowhere, we drove two hours to a Giant...


...to purchase some Hershey discount tickets =)


One of these things is not like the other... (Yea...I'm captioned out...don't judge me!)


Yes Walter, we see it!


First stop, Chocolate World!


On a side note, a little over a year ago from when we were here (about one week), Jackie and I hung out for the first time other than at Scream Machine.


And this is the first ride we rode together!


"It's all about the milk!"


This is Milton Hershey. He's like a god to chocolate...or something!


The real reason we are here!


The vertical lift was snazy!


97 degrees, and falling fast!


This is the Norwegian Loop


It looks cooler than it actually was.


It has a Cobra Roll...


Some Corkscrews...


A nice sharp turn thingy...


And a nice airtime hill!


Overall, we thought it was a decent ride. The first drop was great. But the rest of the ride wasn't as exciting as it looked. It reminded us of Maverick, but smoother. Not a top 10, but not terrible eiter.


After getting our last credit of the trip, we decided to go "splash splash" in the Boardwalk


Apperantly, this was announced during our trip.


Something no one ever needs to see. Me in a bathing suit!


Lightning Racers was running a bit sluggish today


As was "Pussy Cat"


Roller Soaker also seemed to get repainted since out last visit


Next up...another Intamin coaster!


I can dig it...


Train on the launch track


Get ready...


Here we go!


Bye-bye


Every time I seem to ride this for the first time of the day, it feels like it stalls at the top.


I don't really care for these types of coasters....


...but this is my favorite Intamin Rocket Coaster.


This is a good part right here too!


Sidewinder was running rougher than usual today!


But, that didn't stop us from riding it over and over again, until my ears started bleeding


Jackie thinks, you should buy a Chevy!


Teehee


Walter is determined to not hit a tree this time!


Jackie decided to roar until we agreed to ride


Great Bear is still my favorite B&M Invert


It's just so sexy!


Speaking of sexy! My personal favorite coaster at Hersheypark, Sooperdooperlooper.


Seriously, nothing can beat the beauty of a nice Schwartzkopf in my eyes!


I also want to point out, that Hershy will still have there Schwartzkopf looper in 2009 :P


Suprisingly, The Comet was the best wooden coaster at Hersheypark today!


Walter all excited in the queue for Reeses Xtreme Cup Challenge


Jackie and I doing our "Walter while watching 'Three Point Challenge'" impression


Jackie's impression of me...


We went to go ride Fahrenheit again.


This was our last ride of the trip!


There it goes...or something...I don't know


Walter and Jackie are happy to get there final ride in on the trip


In my true fashion, our last ride of the trip, included a break down!


Jackie seems happy with her break down


Walter was hoping for an evac but we didn't get it. And it was only on the blocks.


Our final shot from the amazing trip. It really was the best trip we've done in a long time.
