So now you will ask where to now? The suspects on this trip are Me,
Cycloneman Millenniumforcehater, and Darkridedan!
So were not lost!
Hey, Im actually welcomed somewhere!
Closer...
So finally we get there, we move through and pull into a fairly empty parking lot where we get a great spot. We Make sure everything is good to go and we make our move and at about 10 O'Clock we are entering the park. My online ticket saved a fair ammount of time. We saw a ride was conveniently located by the entrance therefore we got on the back row with a 1 train wait....
One of the best inverts in the Northeast!
Talon: The Grip of FEAR!
^ My Best Photo of Talon
Talon is a very very fun ride, I enjoy it everytime I ride it. Its very intense and has GREAT inversions, even a pop of airtime in there. The Corkscrews and the Immelman are purely awesome as well as its helix's. This is why its one of my favorites, not my #1 but up there.
After Talon, we moved along to ride...
The Boring Floorless!
Hydra
The
REVENGE!
Hydra is an okay ride at best. It is my least favorite floorless. The Jojo roll right at the beginning is purely AWESOME and I love it but after that it gets boring. The rolls and corkscrews are fun but they are too too spaced out so it lacks intensity. Although there is some airtime on the drop, it is still a fairly boring ride. So to re-excite things we headed to...
Dominator!
Dominator is a fun ride. It is no secret that i love S&S towers, This one is really good because you can be shot up and shot down. I prefer to go up because it is a better feeling IMO and the airtime cant be beat. Going down feels like SMFF, both sides are alot of fun! This is also one of my favorite drop towers. It is ashame that this is the only drop tower withing a reasonable drive of my house. After being Dominated, we headed to..
Thunderhawk! We said it funny cause we are from NY and made fun of Dan throughout the day because of his south jersey accent. It was funny. Anyway, Thunderhawk i HATED last time I rode it, but this time i like it a little more. Its a little rough but it had pops of airtime and was a fun ride. Its not a top woodie but I wouldnt mind to ride is again in the future. One pop of airtime had my standing up, which threw me for a loop completely!
After Thunderhawk, we would head over for our new credit, we also would me Dan over there. Note that it is about 1030 and we covered ALOT of rides at the lines are non-existant at Dorney Park. We would ride the green and yellow thing with TTD's station, it was called....
Superman!
I mean Steel Venom!
Sigh....Why can't I get its name....Im in Dorney not Geauga!!!
Oh right....VOODOO!!!!
This ride is the best ride in the park. Me, myself and I sat in the very front, while Dan and
Dainan Millenniumforcehater sat in right behind me. The ride it awesome, the twisting and the continuous speed-ups are great. The disorientation it throws at you is incredible. Finally, to ice the cake, the holding break will REALLY mess with your mind. GREAT ride. After that, we re-rode where I sat in the 2nd to back and
DainanMillenniumforcehater and Dan sat behind in the last row. Another awesome ride, I like the back a little bit better because going up backwards is disorienting and FUN!
Most of you are gonna call me out on this one, like you did Great Bore, but this ride tops Wicked Twister.
After that, it was time to give another ride a second chance...
Laser!
I absolutely hated this ride the last time I rode it. HATED IT! I was generous and gave it another try. After being yelled at in the station we hopped in and rode. Its a decent ride. Its intensity is amazing and makes me grey out at the bottom of the loops and parts of the helixes. It is also fairly smooth. The lift also got faster I think...I laugh thinking about how that ride is held up Coney Island style with wood 2 x 4's.
Anywho, After Credit-Whoring the dragon, The big red thing in the park needed to be ridden and so we mobilized.
Some fun on
MagnumSteel Force. One of these fine guests thought it would be a smart idea to screw around on the lift. Low and Behold, the cameras caught them. They stop the lift, and send two ops up there. It was alot of fun to watch it all unfold. It was pretty funny if you ask me!
Magnum XL-200Steel Forceless is one of my least favorite hypers. It has very little airtime, annoying restraints and also could use some paint NOT JUST AROUND THE STATION AREA!!! Although fairly smooth the only forces one experiences it not in the tunnel, nor the helixes, nor the big hills, but rather the bunny hills which can give gentle and forceful ejector airtime. Thats the best part of the ride...Sadly...So I rode in the back and then the 2nd car, middle seat and got the same experiences. Its looks like a lot of fun and takes photos, but really is a BIG BIG Bluff that CF put out there.
Anywho, Dan and also Yours Truely, now had a hunger burn. We decided to go to the Sports Restaurant they have in Dorney, which is all sit down, serviced and reasonable.
I had a nice Philly Cheesesteak with some fried. Man, it did not stand a chance and it was VERY delicious! Oh boy.
After lunch, the best way to digest it is to ride a boring forceless Floorless, therefore we did just that. Hydra again, and then we went to Talon for some more riding. Great rides with little waits, so I cannot complain.
By this time, the sun was in its highest point in the sky and we were fatigued from the heat and the battering of the sun, so we decided it was WATERPARK TIME! YAY! We got our handstamped, went to the car and changed. Re-hydrated, gathered our stuff and made our way back into the park where we goofed around for a little. We rented a locker put our stuff in and had a ball.
Wildwater Kingdom!
These are our best attempts to make fun of the sign. Apparently, the guy is superman, or has superpowers. I dont think hes line cutting either, i think hes headstomping, or neck-breaking. Evenso, What is the point, there are no lines at Dorney. So these signs are pointless and so are the ques.....
So anyway, the Waterpark was very confusing to navigate but was a very fun time. It really is a great waterpark. I love speedslides, but I HATE the wedgie. I also loved the Blue patriot slide as it is PITCH BLACK and AWESOME! The lilly pads were also no match for me as i went across them without falling, Milleniumforcehater and Dan were fun to watch try it.
So it was about 730, and we had changed and wanted to hit a few more things. I put this shirt back on...
We moved back into Dorney where i snapped some of my nighttime photos (Some of them are already in the Trip Report), we rode Apollo and then Laser one last time. It was also the most crowded I have seen Dorney EVER!
Then headed off to Wendy's and then Burger King for some Dinner, but the line was way too long, so thats why we went to BK. Milleniumforcehater didnt wanna do Bahston Mahket (Translated from Bostonian, Boston Market). I had a Whopper, with a Cold Soda and Fries. It was one of the best ones I ever had. We also had some fun and devoured our food. It was a great ending to a great day, although the line at BK was the longest we waited ALL DAY!
It really was a great day, and was some of the most fun I have ever had at Dorney and at a theme park. It was tons of fun and left alot of memories and great photos, Their flat ride collection is amazing. They have ALOT of flats, in many places, and it is fairly balanced! It is a great overall park, although its Coasters are not the best in the region.
Like every other TR, I like to leave something to Speculate with...
As you know, Laser is leaving, and so that will open up a good amount of space, keeping that in mind, check out the space that was behind Steel Force, clearly visible from the Que, its a big opening that has alot more space then the photos show...
Anybody else, besides me, remember the Screamscape rumors from not too long ago?
THANK YOU FOR READING!!!!
