^It was just a joke, sheesh...
I know, its just a major pet peeve of mine, lol. Sorry for being so harsh though, I was just trying to make a point. Sorry for being a ass.

Yep. Time for the least favorite park of the trip. We were all very surprised on how bad it was, not completely the parks fault, but most of it was. The park had an "ok" selection of rides, but everything around the rides was overgrown, or just plain gross looking. Like over by Chang, they had grass growing everywhere, and little pools filled with I don't know what. I would think they'd at least try to mow, or make some kind of attempt. Some areas of the park weren't to bad looking though, which was nice. We all knew though when we drove up, that it wasn't going to be the nicest looking. We drove up, and they had Razor wire, that has to be the first or one of the first I've seen at a park. It felt like driving up to a prison in some ways. Also we noticed that there was graffiti on the rides, so obviously people got in. I understand that some of its just bad location. But much of it was the parks fault. I wish Six Flags would take notice to some of these types of parks. It has potential, for one it has an awesome complex building across the way. Which really makes the area look nice.
The staff there went both ways. Some of them were great, and very friendly, or average. But there were a few people that didn't even want to lift a finger. For instance, and the worst occurrence of this was at the Go Karts. The guy selling tickets got irritated because we wanted to buy two tickets. Then when we went to ride them, we soon realized that the operators treated the ride like a normal attraction. They never checked our tickets, or anyone else's. We were the only ones that bought them. We wouldn't have minded if they didn't just load it by who wanted to drive with who. They let these kids ride separate courses because they wanted to ride by themselves (They also did not pay). We were going to complain, but we really thought that it wouldn't make the slightest difference, and it was better to go to the hotel.
I've been to a good bit of Six Flags parks, but this one was the worst. The master blaster looked great. But in my opinion, I enjoyed Six Flags America way more then this park. The area around the park looks nice, so Six Flags, I hope you take attention to this, before its just gone. They've had enough troubles with it after the Drop Tower incident, and they have a rotting, racing woodie at the back of it. So I fear it may be to late, but it still may have hope. I hope the best for it though.
First up, Greezed Lightnin.
Yep, Me and Tyler's first shuttle loop. It was pretty fun, but a bit slower then expected.
Loop was pretty forceful though.
Now its time for, Chang.
We're not a big fans of stand ups, except Shockwave at KD. But this one was decent.
We still think it would be so much better as a floorless, or a normal sit down. But that's just our crazy opinions.
Pretty.
I had to edit this picture to get it to look right. But the end result isn't to bad. Is it?
Eeek.
Surprisingly, this one was smoother then some others. But still rough as hell. Oh and this is Tyler's first SLC! He's in for a unpleasant surprise.
These things are so photogenic though. I hope they all end up getting those awesome new trains.
I almost forgot, Tyler hated it! He's just lucky it was one of the better ones.
Notice the faded paint, but the picture is still plenty awesome.
This was the best coaster in the park. It was really enjoyable. Fast passes are great, they were only running one train, with a huge wait. So saved us a ton of time.
It was hard to get photograph's of it. We tried using our passes on the Ferris Wheel for pictures, but they didn't let us. So we just went to the hotel instead. So sorry for the kind of poor pictures.
It's a great coaster though. Had good plops of air.
Yeah, I made Tyler whore with me. He refused on some coasters, but I got him on this one!
We did use our fast passes on this. It was pretty good. The trims weren't to bad on it.
I leave you with this one very last picture. Why in the world is this thing just rotting in the back of the park. I was going to drive by it, but we were worn out. So we went straight to the hotel.
Next up, Beech Bend. With a hidden treasure, Kentucky Rumbler of course.

Don't be afraid to ride thrill rides. Carnival rides are what you should look out for! (Those carnies' boxes o' buckets o' lard can get stuck in some ride's gearboxes! Lasy carnies! )
You sound just as ignorant as the person that started this. Carnival rides, if you knew anything, have to pass state inspections weekly. Much more then a amusement park ride. I've never felt un safe on a single ride ever. I've been there for take down, for research purposes, and they had to do everything with an inspector around. The operators just have to push a button, just like any other amusement park operator. Safety standards today are so high, you don't have to worry about either.
Also, un like most amusement parks. They don't have teenagers that half the time aren't even looking at the ride running them. They may be ugly, or missing teeth, at least they pay more attention most of the time. I realize you were just joking, but its a pet peeve of mine when people always assume that stuff.

Next up, Dollywood! Wow this has to be the best parks of the trip. We thought the park was flawless. We all thought Hard Rock Parks staff was nice, but wow Dolly put them to shame. Dollywood had excellent theming, and Mystery Mine and Thunderhead are both some of the best coasters in the world. They both rank in my top 10, also in Tylers. Thunderhead is tied as my favorite woodie. I wonder how a park could get any better. We didn't even expect it to be that great. We thought it would be basic, and a nice little park. But this is a world class park, and it was great. This was the most enjoyable park of the trip, everyone needs to visit Dollywood now!
Now let me tell you specifically about the two great coasters. First up Thunderhead. Thunderhead was a non stop wooden coaster, it never let up, and it was long. The whole ride was very wild, still smooth, and was great. There wasn't a single flaw with it. Now onto Mystery Mine, this ride was done very well. The beginning was great, you felt like you were on an old abandoned mine, as you rocked and creeped along the track. The rest of the ride was a non stop thrill, as you go up two vertical lifts. This ride put Fahrenheit to shame, I thought Fahrenheit was awesome, but nothing compared to this ride. Oh yeah, Mystery Mine has a few surprises up its sleeve!
Looks like we know which way were heading.
I had a tragic accident, I thought of an SLC, and then I died. Hey the corny captions are back! I've been slacking on them.
We see you Thunderhead, you thought two dinky trees could hide you?
We're about to experience one of the best wooden coasters ever!
It deserved all the golden tickets in the world!
Sexy....
Yeah, what else can I say, its awesome. If you haven't got the point yet.
One last picture.
Here we come Mystery Mine, you have a lot to do to beat Thunderhead.
Closer.
Birdy.
Wow, this is going to be awesome. But once your inside, this part just doesn't come close. Theming top notch!
This car likes to go on the turny thingy.
Yes! Oh Yes!
Bird!!!
Just a few more of Mystery Mine, it deserves it.
Go to Dollywood now!
Veggie Tales, yay!
Now time for Tennessee Tornado!
Yeah, its gonna hurt most likely.
Yeah, that looks to be painful.
Surprisingly it only hurt a little tiny bit. Dollywood is so awesome.
Pretty.
I leave you this picture of such an awesome wooden coaster taken from such an awesome steel coaster.
Again go to Dollywood now, the park is amazing. It's also in such a great location, and is so pretty. I wish I got much more pictures, but I was enjoying all the parks. I could have gotten so many more of each park, which I regret I didn't. Next up is Kentucky Kingdom, the least enjoyable park of the trip. Ironically it comes after such a great park.
-
I think its time to start a official thread for KI 09. It's a coaster, trust me.
Here's some pictures I got from when I was at Kings Island.
I'm pretty certain that it has a pool of water.
That seems like the brake run, and to the left the station.
You can see what I mean better in this picture if you look at the top.
Get it?
Here's an overview, you can really see it now. This thing is going to be massive, there's un poured footers behind the Beast and The Crypt.
These are the markings and un poured footer behind the Beast.
See, markings.
Also, footers.
This was taken from the exit of The Crypt.
Hope you enjoyed the small update.

After Hard Rock, on our way to Dollywood we went to Carowinds. Carowinds is a nice park, but just average. I don't really have to much to say negative, or to positive about it. It was a nice park to stop off at, but there wasn't anything to special except After burn. Also the park was empty all day, and we rode everything with no wait at all. So it was a fun little park.
We really enjoyed After burn, and Nighthawk. After burn was amazing, we both loved it. I had no clue that it had that many inversions, that was a hidden thrill in the park. Nighthawk was just a flying Dutchman model, but still fun.
Welcome to Carowinds!
First up, Nighthawk!
Vertical loop goodness.
Great ride, except your eyeballs might get burned out!
Pretty.
More Vertical loop goodness.
Pretty.
Me and Tyler understood why this was a SLC in training, it hurt just as bad!
Bang, shmack, ow!
Tyler said Koma, in Vekoma stood for coma. He said that's an appropriate name for the coaster company, lol. I found it kind of funny.
Next up After Burn! This coaster surprised both of us, it was awesome!
Plane.
Yeah, its awesome!
So many inversions, we love it!
One more.
First and Second missed credit of trip.
It looks like an average racer to me.
A little better then Roller Soaker, but not great. Roller soaker is much more interactive though.
Time for this. Average mine train.
The half tunnel things were a neat affect.
What park would be complete without a little ouch.
Pretty, ouch.
Ricochet, yay.
Meh.
Yeah....
You stand up, and blood rushes to your feet. Average stand up.
Yep, vertical loop, best part. Yum, Vertical loop goodness.
I leave you with this one last picture, next up, Dollywood. One of the best parks ever!

We actually got there around 4 and left around 7. Also thanks guys I will have plenty more. Beech Bend today!
We also bought flash passes, thank god. It just seemed run down, graffiti, and the the people at the go karts had some problems. I really don't want to get into that right now, becuase I need to explain. But the barbed wire, the complex next to the park looked great though. I am keeping in mind that we did get spoiled at Dollywood, and Hard Rock Park. Since those to parks were some of the best parks I have ever been to. The staff got better at Dollywood which I was surprised in.
-
Now it's time for Hard Rock Park. It was a nice park, and themed well. But it was so much smaller then I thought, and what everyone else thought with me. Only real thrill was Zeppelin, Maximum RPM was fun, but the wait was about two hours. They were nice enough to warn you that it was a soft opening type of thing, and its not fully operational, and it will be a long wait due to that. The park just needs a bit more, it has potential, but could be better. From what I was told, they are already expanding it, so that's a plus.
Now this park had some of the best guest services, and employees that I have "ever" seen at a park. Every last employee seemed to love there job, and all of them were friendly and talkative. We got stuck on the White Knight Satin thing or whatever, it was screwed up, put it that way. But after we got off, they picked us out for some reason for a VIP trip on Zeppelin, or any other ride of our choice. (We should have rode Maximum RPM, but we all liked zeppelin more, but zeppelin had no wait at all. Are fault though). Anyways, I don't know if it was due to the brake down, or just chance. I'm wondering this, as it was only one person, and a lot of people didn't get this. But we got escorted throughout the park, showed us some of the cool little effects you might not notice. But I was amazed, by far some of the best staff. Also we were all shocked about this, it was not expected what so ever. We weren't at all aggravated from the brake down either. It was only 10 minutes or so.
Another great thing, was the theming, Karaoke lines, wow. Everything was very well themed, and all themed to Rock. This park with the theming, and staff, amazed me. The whole park was great, the experience was awesome, just need some more rides. I hope to go back in a few years when its more expanded, but defiantly worth the stop.
Welcome to Hard Rock Park!
Theming, top notch of course.
First up of Course, Led Zeppelin the Ride.
Great ride, basic but I liked it a lot.
Two vertical loops, equals awesome.
Mini Vertical Loop.
One more.
Now time for Maximum RPM!
It broke down, but everyone in the line, I mean everyone that waited two hours for it left right away. So we just got front seat for a 10 minute break down. Still waited a hour and a half though.
Testing it.
Empty.
I found that kind of cool looking.
Track.
There's people on that one.
See, told you.
White night castle or whatever, this is just a sample on how messed up it was in every way.
Um, yeah.
As we got stuck on it we took this picture. I'm still kind of in shock with what everything I just witnessed.
Kiddie Credit!
One more.
Um, meh.
Hi Maximum RPM.
Time for Eagles Life In the Fast Lane, we kind of enjoyed it but still not that great. I hope they get a better selection of rides soon.
Yeah, that's about it.
Mhm.
Just one more after this.
Now I leave you with the coolest picture of the day. Those kites were flown all day, btw.
Stay tuned for more, I'm getting these reports up as fast as I can. I'm swamped with parks, thats a good thing, lol. I am behind with the reports, as I went to SFKK today, and tomorrow is Beech Bend. We were going to also do SFKK tomorrow, but it kind of stunk, we'll you'll find out why.
-
It has started with Kings Dominion!
The first park of the trip is Kings Dominion! The park is great, and the wooden coasters are rough, but we thought they were really fun. We had a good day, only had to stay for half the day since the park was empty. We also had to wake up early for the next day, and the long drive to Myrtle Beach. But it was fun, and Dominator was great. Again, great park, and go on a Monday. We walked on to everything pretty much. Now on to the photos.
Dominator, really Dominates the view of the front. Can't miss it, first thing you see before you go in.
Kings Dominion, Yay!
First up, of course, Dominator.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's kind of just slapped down, but still a great ride.
DOMINATOR!
Vertical loop goodness.
Yeah, go to Kings Dominion and ride it!
Oh yeah, hi Scooby Doo!
Another great coaster, Volcano.
Intamin needs to make more of these. It's still great and was the only real wait all day.
One more for now of Volcano.
Hi, Firefall, I mean "Crypt".
Next up, Italian Job, I mean Backlot: Stunt Coaster. I prefer the old names more, but that may just be me. Also this ride lacked a lot of the special effects, little things like the Police Sirens. Cedar Fair, it makes it much better when there on, take the advice.
The real cars aren't much bigger, funny little Mini Coopers.
Hello Anaconda, first looping coaster for me. I was about 6, I think. Real coaster enthusiasts are born!
Enough said.
Outer limits, I mean Flight of Fear, or is it now Flightdeck? God, this is confusing, I honestly don't know the name.
Then it was for the Togo, not so bad machine.
Then we rode Ricochet, this mouse is quite enjoyable.
Flyer's, yay.
Now, a little bit of sad, Hypersonic's old location.
Just think, it used to tower over you, right here.
Here's a ariel view of it. The track is located behind grizzly's turn around. All of it is still on the grounds, you can only see it if you look off to the side on grizzly, its hard to see even on any of the towers. It was just chance that I noticed it. Tyler didn't see any of it. I got a small picture of it just a little bit, but its hard to noticed.
There's were its at.
Here's some pictures from the Eifel Tower.
Pretty.
Drop Zone!
Some more of Dominator.
See, the park was empty.
This is a cool picture, and the last. Hope you enjoyed the update, stay tuned for Hard Rock, and two side trips. South of the Border, and Family Kingdom!

My older brother called me up and said that we should go to his carnival that his Fire Department was doing, or something like that. So I figured why not, it'll be a few fun hours. We headed over to the grounds around 7, and rode the rides, and made fun of his awesome mall cop uniform, lol. He got stuck doing patrol, or something like that. We got some free food and drinks, so that was kind of cool. It was pretty ghetto, but still fun. Before the stomach exploder. I'll tell you more about this later on, the weird part is, I rode the exact same ride, and one similar, and it didn't hurt. Both were a different show provider. Go figure.
This is what we saw when we got there, would have been a cool picture if it wasn't blurry. But oh well.
HaHa, is that what I see!
Yes it is, Mr. Mall cop, I mean Carnival Cop, Brian. He was going to ride the rides, but got stuck doing this. Hey, if I was going to be a cop, might as well be a Carnival Cop.
Tyler, acting well, retarded as always. Good old Tyler, life would be boring with out him.
Yes, Orbiter! Great ride, love it each time I ride it.
I'm a real big zipper fan. If I see one, there almost as good as a coaster credit. One of the best rides out there, not thee best, but really good. So be prepared to see a good bit of Zipper pictures. This one was running well to, I hate it when they spin it along the track the wrong way, with the whole structure going the wrong way. Yes there are certain ways to run a zipper. Best one yet was at a Reithoffer show, rode it by my self, so the operator at Reithoffer shows cranked it up, didn't stop flipping for a second, he asked of course, I asked to if he would do. I counted 50 flips, then gave up. I know most people would throw up, or get sick like my Brother did, when I made him ride twice. I just told the op to start it back up. Carnival Flats are the best.
Pretty!
Me, likey!
You like it? Good!
No caption need!
A paratrooper that I skipped on. I was going to ride it, but forgot, well actually I had a bruised stomach. We'll get to that later.
Also they had a Wipe Out, but was skipped for the same reason above.
Credit!
Boring Searay.
Sizzler, fun, but not that good.
I usually like these, but this one was tame and boring. Most people say there painful for some reason, I really don't think so. Been on quite a bit, and none hurt me. But soon will be the.....well just wait, lol.
Eeek...I've been on the same ride, and wow, I thought it would be fun, but it was not. It hurt, lol. I hate this ride. I've never hated a ride, in till this. Call me negative, but I did not like it. P.S.: Didn't make me the slightest nauseas, I'm still waiting for a ride that will. I just saw that Top Spin video today, where it flips 100 plus times. I'm pretty confident I could pull that off, lol. I got a ride op to give me 40 flips, since I was coming to help with tear down, and talked to him for about two hours. Anyone else think the original cycles are way to tame? Any ride ops around willing to flip the poop out of me?, lol.
Lets end happy though! I had a lot of fun, so did Tyler. So I hope you enjoyed this side TR. I only had that one negative thing, I was surprised on how much it hurt, I didn't even think it was possible. But what the heck, I had fun.
Thanks for reading everyone, and ghetto fairs rule!

I have already done all them, we passed it at VB, but didn't feel like spending the extra money. We did it all the year before, so figured we would just enjoy the beach. We didn't have a camera, due to the sand. We stayed at my friends relatives house, so we weren't at a hotel close by.
Adventure Park USA, is pretty much a home park, and SFA, well haven't gotten any new coasters since I went last. The park also is kind of dumpy, In my opinion at least.
-
Yes I do, a pretty strict one to tell the truth, I will post exact dates today. It starts Monday, and will be updated daily. I will do it after I'm done with laundry and pack a bit.
-
This is the big East Coaster trip, that will include VB, Kings Dominion, Hard Rock Park, Carowinds, Dollywood, Nascar Speed Park, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Beech Bend Park, Holiday World, and Kings Island. The trip will start Monday, with Kings Dominion. But part one is now up, so stay tuned. I hope you enjoy it!
To start off the mega trip. Also known as the East Coaster Trip. I'm going to combine this into two parts. Virginia Beach, then part two with all the parks, and myrtle beach. Virginia beach was a week before, but the two trips are so close together, might as well combine them. Alright time to start off with Virginia Beach, and the aquarium.
------
To start off the mega trip, lets start with Virginia Beach. I went with Tyler, to VB and went and did some things, like the aquarium, stuff like that. (Warning, no coaster pictures). Yeah don't waist your time if you want coasters. But you can see some fishes, and cool stuff like that.
Here's the first thing we saw when we got to the aquarium. Wow its huge!
Hey look, fishys!
Another fishy!
This one just chilled out at the bottom.
Yeah, I touched it! Wow, that picture of me is ugly!
From the balcony of the aquarium. Kind of neat.
Random picture of me through the vortex.
Dun, Dun!
Something tells me that I should touch it.
I like the turtles.
Yo!
This one is alive!
Fishah!
No caption needed.
Uhhh.
Here was the beautiful view we had all weekend. We all had fun, stay tuned in a few days for Kings Dominion, and the start of the East Coaster Trip! I thought I had more of VB, but no, not really. So it was all the aquarium, hope you enjoyed the small report.
-Brandon
-
Looking ok, but its rather boring, in my honest opinion. I see potential, and like what you did with hacking for the small details. But I think its boring. Don't know what it is, maybe trees, land coloring, but its boring to me.
-
Great fair and pictures. What show was it exactly? Reminds me of Reithoffer, but doesn't seem completely like it. I love Tango's, there amazing. Top Scan isn't as good in my opinion. Again great report, and thanks for sharing. Much better then the fair I went to today, lol.
-
You can not go over 2000 small objects. This goes for other things, but the values are different. If you put to much in, the game will freeze completely. I always keep several copies of my objdata folder if I download a park. I only keep what I need, not pointless objects.
Hope this answers your question. Just make a separate folder with the original objdata, thats the best solution.
-
what od you mean by "you can't make ANY costum rides"? there are plenty of costumr ides for RCT2.
I meant you can't make it into a custom ride. I worded it wrong. I myself have made two fully animated, well three, fully animated custom rides, and one static glass house. But you can not make a screaming swing into a custom ride, you have to have a base ride first, and theres none to support one. Well at least a half realistic one.
I suggest hacking the game. Or just making one out of scenery.
-
Talon, Dorney Park.
-
It holds you for about a second, just like it did before. I find it enjoyable, and its not to long, so its a nice effect. Voodoo was closed when we pulled up to the park, but did open within an hour after we got there. I don't know if its been down for a couple of days, but it did open fortunately.
Also thanks guys, I'm glad you liked the pictures.
-Brandon

I don't agree that the popularity of the water park makes DP fair game for a comparison to Geauga Lake.
For one, DP's attendance is at least double what Geauga Lake's was. Second, it's a smaller property so operating costs are in line. Third, when the water park closes on summer days the amusement park is flooded and packed in the evening and into the night.
It's just really ... not the same situation.
Mike
I said it was probably just me. I don't know I just had a feeling. I also said why it most likely wouldn't happen . Also, the last point you stated didn't happen, I was expecting it to be flooded, and it wasn't. Everything was still close to a walk on. It was just a small feeling I had, and no more then that. Just something I noticed each time I go there, and so did my mom.
-
Wow great pictures and thanks for sharing. I haven't been to Great America in awhile. They sure have added a lot since I went last. Again thanks for sharing the pictures, there great.
-
Umm. no i was just using tpr to help transfer the freaking"im trying to not use cuss words here" track i made really quick for the layout to my mac. So yea, i didnt so-call "wuss" out. d*** . Plus - why would i need respect from you guys. Its not like im gonna see you. The only person I'm probly gonna meet is "Smartestcoasterkidever" because im going to the same high school as him.
If you wanna see my crap i put together in just ten minutes before I headed out to the form shops at cesars palace and the canal shops a the venetian. Then i'll upload it to you.Im just trying to enjoy my time here.
Umm he sticks up for you, and you lash out on him? Grow up, seriously. Also I know TPR is very strict about poor grammar and punctuation, especially anyone under 18. So back down. Also why would you create a topic, tell us to go to heck, just becuase some one wants to see it. I will download the ride, and I'm sure its not to bad. Next time use some file host though.
-
Yeah, but soon I will add a parking lot coaster, to give it that six flags feel for my park, lol. But looking good, I'm thinking of partnering up parks with you DBru, like some sort of company. For our story line and all. I'll talk to you later about it.
-
Well my mom, and me decided we would head up to Dorney this weekend. I had a pretty good time, but it was very hot. It was 95 and humid all, day, so that wasn't fun. But still had a good time and I do like Dorney. We left for the park around 11:30 and got there at 2:30. Once we got there we went and got are season passes processed, then off to the park we went. First I went over to Talon, luckily it broke down and opened right when I got to the entrance. So I was able to get on with no wait. Then again the whole day the main park was pretty empty, the water park not so much.
Next we headed over to Hydra, that twist out of the station is insane. I really enjoyed this baby floorless coaster. It's so tiny, but still pretty fun. Again another walk on, I think I waited no more then 10 minutes for any ride once the water park let out, and 10 for voodoo. So the lines were pretty awesome all day. Lines were all empty before the water park let out, except Voodoo, like I said.
Next we went over to Thunderhawk. I really enjoy this woodie. If they didn't have those trim brakes, it would be easily my favorite. There was five I think through out the whole ride. It did still produce some good airtime, but I would love to ride with the trims off. Next up was Steel Force, meh.
Next up was Voodoo, I still think of it back when it was Superman. But that was the last time I rode it. It's a good ride, and the operators made the experience more unique. They had fun launching you, they went 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, the launch. Didn't expect it, also they slowed it down, then let it go up the back spike a little bit then stuck it in the station. Never experienced that before. It's a nice addition at least I think so. Then Laser, Wow, what a ride. I think it was a mixture of the heat, but during the loops I had a minor black out. It really packs a punch, and I forgot how much. Please don't sell it, its kind of ugly, but still fun. A paint job is needed.
I really don't want Dorney to be like Geauga Lake. I noticed it had a lot of the same characteristics. The water park was full and the park was empty, on a Saturday. It was also like that last time I went. Which is why I think it could be done for. I've lost Big Dipper, don't take away Thunderhawk. But it has more hope, it was still a little more crowded, and also they got two new coasters, and it isn't in competition with there star park. So it's probably just me, but it worries me, they already got rid of Geauga Lake. Anyone else have that feeling of Dorney? Again, I doubt it, but after Geauga Lake I don't trust Cedar Fair completely. Well I had a pretty good day, liked the coasters. I don't get the chance to go to Dorney that much, so it was fun to get back to it. Hope you enjoyed my report, now on to the photo's.
Is that train empty?
Why, yes it is!
Apparently it broke down, and now its testing. So I'll get a few pictures then head over to it.
It's open now, I still like this coaster. Smooth, a bit short, but a lot of fun.
Next up....Hydra!
Look at how tiny it is, merely 95 feet.
I don't see how this brought down Hercules..... It's just so tiny, how could it take that down?
Cobra Roll, yum.
Next up Thunderhawk. Really is a great coaster, but without the trims it could be 20 times better.
Ok first drop.
I can just imagine how much airtime would be here without trims.
Pretty.
I think this was my favorite picture of the day. Now only if there was a train going down Thunder hawk and one on Steel Force to.
Steel Force, the force that is made out of steel! Horrible captions as always.
Lift hill shot.
This reminds me of a mini Steel Dragon 2000.
I'll get to you soon Laser.
But Superman..., I mean Steel Ve..., Um..Voodoo is first.
This got about half of what I wanted to do. I wanted the train to look like a blur going past, but didn't work. Have to learn more about my camera. Still kind of blurry, lol.
Why is this one so dark? It was very bright out.
Best picture of Voodoo.
I really like this sign a lot, those candles add a awesome effect alone.
Ok laser, I'm here!
A bit rough, but the forces are awesome.
Both loops, and a crooked picture, yay!
Best Line Jumping sign ever!
I don't know why, but I noticed this. Since when was Intamin a Vekoma. I don't "think" I would like Voodoo as much if it had SLC trains, or track for that matter.
Already have it.
This one also, even though its powered.
Oh, and this one.
Sunset picture.
Ahh, night time!
This had a small wait every time I passed it. Most likely longest wait in the park. So I skipped it.
Good old Cedar fair. Soon all trash cans won't be able to be out of a 2 feet radius of each other. If you litter at a Cedar Fair park, your a bad person, simple as that, lol.
One last ride on Talon, then I'm out.
Thanks Dorney, for a fun day.
Hope you enjoyed the report everyone.

You are right, your regulations may be different. Also I normally research the carnival circuit before going. So that may be why I haven't experienced any bad ones. Also, Kings Island is a great park, and thats most likely why you didn't experience any bad things there. On the other hand, I have at SFA, and some other parks of that nature in mind. Where I have seen that behavior there. I've seen some pretty outrageous things at a few parks, that I haven't seen at any show circuit. I'm not going to get into that, for anyone wondering (none of it was at HP), lol. Just the chances of something there happening are still really low of anything bad happening.
Now back on topic. No matter how much it annoys me when people come up with crazy ideas on what will happen on a coaster. I feel bad for them at the same time, they're missing out on harmless excitement in there lives.
