I sure as hell hope Knoebel's is paying their staff more than the pitiful minimum wage.

Park emails announced T3 has been retired and will not reopen.

Looks like they're pretty decent for a summer job in central PA!

Despite not having done this, your CVS idea is one of the selling points here. Basically being able to pop in/out of the room during the visit is a key point. Just being able to take 30-40 minutes to head back to the room, use a clean bathroom, and have a cold beverage while enjoying some snacks is much more enjoyable than your usual $15-20 theme park meal that probably takes just as long to get. It is something that I didn't realize I needed till TPR pointed it out, lol.

Stand alone, it looks cheesy but to see it installed it looks ok. Wonder what they are going to do with the original track still installed? Blend in or repaint as well.

Finally made it out here this past Sunday. Got to the park in time for opening, and had until 1:30 before I had to head for the doors. Got a Gold Flash Pass, and all things considered, thought it was a pretty successful day. Viper was sadly closed to start the day, and that was a big reason for this brief detour, but I managed X2 (twice), Tatsu, Ninja, Superman, Riddler's Revenge, Batman, and Full Throttle. I had reservations for Twisted Colossus at 1, but it was down for mechanical reasons. Got in line for Goliath to see if I could wait those issues out, but that line was crawling, and I noticed staff walking up TC's lift to meet the riders who were stuck there, so it wasn't looking good. I bailed on the Goliath line and got a quick reservation on Full Throttle instead to close out the day. I was originally planning to stay until about 4, but our show at Hollywood Bowl had an earlier start on Sunday, so I had to cut that. On my way out, I noticed Viper was cycling, though I couldn't tell if it had riders. Oh well. The park was pretty nice- I really enjoyed the hilliness, and it was easy on the eyes. Operations were alright for the most part (I have definitely seen worse), and there were breakdowns sprinkled into the mix, but it looked like everything apart from Apocalypse (and perhaps Viper) was open at one point or another during my short stay, which I've been led to believe is an exception. I feel that if I did stay until my originally planned 4pm, I would have comfortably gotten on everything else that I would have liked to (Viper, Goliath, Twisted Colossus, Wonder Woman, and Scream) and had a beer or two to boot. Good incentive to visit again, but I'm very glad I made the trip.
