Excellent! Glad to hear it. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

Since we've already lost our sh*t this morning... the background looks like a KitKat bar. Give me a break... give me a break... break... break... they have a good relationship with Intamin. Intamin's break a lot. Sounds like an Intamin Drop tower. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

A drop tower would be great, especially if it can run for Christmas Candylane. I've never heard of a temperature limit on a drop tower except Mach Tower which is a piece of crap. -

No, no, no, no, no you're doing this wrong. Would someone, anyone stop the madness?? I'm not going to suggest Six Flags parks even though I want to because it's obvious money is an object here and you're getting a Cedar Fair Platinum Pass and paying for single day admission to the other parks, but if you're going to Dorney and not Knoebels you're doing something horrifically wrong. Kings Dominion and Carowinds are one day parks. Hershey can be a one day park too. If I were you I'd cut a day at Hershey and spend a FULL DAY at Knoebels. I don't care about the Hershey preview crap... spend the entire day at Knoebels. If that's a weekday then you can buy a wristband. Personally I'd rather see you spend 2 days at Hershey and cut a day at Carowinds for Knoebels but Carowinds doesn't cost you anything so I get the appeal of spending 2 days there and cutting a second day at Hershey. Don't even for a second think about skipping Knoebels. It's better than every other park you're going to. Don't look it up on RCDB and think it's just a credit stop either. If you do that you'll be rushing through Knoebels kicking yourself for wasting a second day at Carowinds. You're welcome. -
Smoothest Coaster You've Ridden?

*stops riding B&M coasters* :- ) Good... now you know why they rattle. -
Kinda Ka: Row one El Toro: One row from the back Bizarro: Back row (it's not amazing but it's the best seat and the line for it won't be significantly longer than any other row) Can't miss rides: Safari Off Road Adventure but it's a major time investment. The Skyway is from the World's Fair and the Parachute Tower is the only ride of it's kind in America so they're both unique. Parachutes will not have a line. Skyway's line is shorter on the fort side. Green Lantern sucks. Skip it unless you're a credit whore or if you hate yourself.

Stop riding coasters in wheel seats. Stop it. -
Never used the flash pass, but thinking of getting it if I can make it back to Jersey this summer since I can see how damn busy it can get there. So stupid question, but it sounds like you say you can only reserve one ride at a time, and not another ride until the pass has been scanned on the current ride? is that what you're saying? Yes. But as soon as they scan it cancel the current ride and reserve something. So let's say you scan into Ka and want to wait for the front... while you're doing that you can also be waiting for something else. Don't wait to get off the ride to reserve a new one. Most people do that and it's stupid.

Pretty bad I was there on Friday and Saturday and that thing was clanking quite loud going up the lift hill. Now, im not a regular, only my second trip to the park, but I can't recall if it was that loud my first trip a couple months back. That's normal. And when it stops on the lift it sounds like someone detonated a nuclear bomb.

This projection technology really makes for some awesome animatronics on animated figures. I loved how it looked on Mine Train and I'm excited to see it expanded here. Watching the POV's I wasn't sure if Olaf was an animatronic or on a screen (I haven't been following this project too closely), I'm really happy to hear that it's an animatronic.
