So Dorney Park has quietly reduced their hours before even opening. They are now only open Thursday-Sunday just like Worlds of Fun. They never even opened during the week.

I'm not going to be able to go on this tour, as I won't be able to get the time off of work. But I'd love to say hi to you again as you come through my park. Do you know when you'll be at Cedar Point? I'll keep my eye out for you.

The word is that they are going to move human resources offices out to the newly purchased location. And I think they are also looking to purchase the econo lodge property to move employee housing to. They want to free up Cedars.

I grew up at Dorney Park, so these will be from there: Rockets-The last Travers swing ride that was operating. Disney made a copy and I'd like to see more of these. Iceberg-A Cuddle-Up in the dark.Now I know there are many tea cup rides out there, but nothing matches the motion of the Cuddle-Up. I want these rides to return. Bumper Cars-Now I know they are getting them next year,but they are the fiberglass cars. I want the old Lusse Scooters they had in the Coaster building. The Coaster-I want the old building with Alfundo on the front and the Tunnel to return!!

I can't believe you skipped this one. I think it's their best one this year. They are using scents, noisemakers, and I even saw someone with night vision goggles entering the last time. They even tickle you with something that probably don't want to know what it is!

Yes anyone can attend, but it is more expensive if you're not a member. Also, correct me if I'm wrong Robb, there are Member only areas one the showroom floor as well as workshops that are for members only.

Thank you Robb for busting your A$$ for us. I appreciate all this coverage as i have been glued to your twitter, facebook, and forum for the past two days.

Now you need to find an ice-cream booth. Or Dippin' Dots! Don't they always have a booth?

Maybe they will unveil the new trains for Thunderhawk at Dorney? That would be a shock!

Any B&M Hyper Coaster. I don't know what it is about that particular model of coaster, but after every ride on one, I have thrown up. And it doesn't matter if I ate right before or 5 hours before. Also, Batman Backwards did the same to me. I almost threw up before the coaster got back to the station.

Here's the big announcement everyone's been waiting for: http://www.mcall.com/news/local/parkland/mc-dorney-park-site-changes-20151001-story.html Dorney Park is making room for catering facilities by tearing down a ride that's been inoperable for a number of seasons. In a legal ad detailing proposed work at 3830 Dorney Park Road, Cedar Fair L.P. is seeking South Whitehall Planning Commission approval to tear down the go-cart Speedway ride to create space for two catering pavilions, a catering kitchen building and a pump building. Coming down with the ride would be maintenance buildings and sheds, according to the proposal. This would ensure that there is no increase in impervious surfaces on the site, which could negate concerns about a swell in stormwater runoff. The total area of the 187-acre property affected by the changes is approximately 1.91 acres, according to the public notice. A message left with the park's communication manager were not returned.

HA! Ugh, if this comes to Dorney... I for one would be Ok with this coming to my park. Always wanted a Togo here. Even a ball-crusher. This could replace that other piece of junk that never runs. At least it would be more reliable.

Ok from 1972 there are no real good coasters still in existance. 1. Excalibur-Six Flags Astroworld 2.Jumbo Jet-Cedar Point 3.Twin Toboggans-Heysheypark

Thanks, I missed that post!

I was just watching Raw on Hulu plus from this past Monday, May 19. The vignitte they aired for Bo Dallas looked to have TPR footage & I think Elissa is in it too. I can't find it on the web. Can anyone confirm?
