I had a lot of fun there in 2006...but then again there was a bit more to do back then (Twisted Twins, Mile High Falls, Hellevator, etc). That's a good way to put it. SFKK doesn't have a grand entrance like KD or Canada's Wonderland, it doesn't have any well-themed areas and hardly any well-themed rides, it's split in two by a road, and it was, and still is I believe, home to the state fair. So it's a unique place, and I think none of those things I mentioned goes against the park in any way. It's a decent local park with a nice southern comfort type feel to it.

PA Amusement Park Advice
Wood Dragon 1988 replied to eagleshot's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Knoebels and Kennywood both have a decent kiddie ride selection, but considering Knoebels is a better, more unique park, and is closer, I would pick Knoebels. -
*** THE BEBES *** Rainbow Magicland ITALY TR

To answer your about Hurler's name: it used to be themed around the "Wayne's World" movie, so I guess that has something to do with hurling. And I'm glad there's someone else in the world that doesn't think it's a horrible ride! -
I agree with larry and Medusa that you could do all three parks in two days. You may need the Flash Pass in the middle of the summer. I was able to easily do SFNE in the morning and Compounce after 5 without any Flash Pass though. But if I had to choice one or the other, I would pick New England. Boulder Dash> El Toro and Bizarro (SROS) >>>>>> Nitro. It is a no brainer for me, that if I had to go back to one or the other, I would pick the New England parks. IMO Lake Compounce is the nicest park of the three, even if it is the smallest.

North NJ Park & Pier Question?
Wood Dragon 1988 replied to Speeddeamon128's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know you can get all the credits (7 like you said) at OCMD besides the Super Jet at Trimpers. The Flitzer is definitely attainable at Jenkinsons, unless of course there are no trains on the track like there was when I went in April . And the other coaster at Jenkinsons isn't a credit, so don't worry about it I haven't been to the other two parks. -

LOL, just how many people have died over the weekend? Hundreds, thousands, millions? Honestly I have no idea, but I guess it's "too many" -

Need advice on Knoebels food
Wood Dragon 1988 replied to Myself's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've eaten at International Food Court, Cesari's, and The Alamo, and it was all good and cheap. I wouldn't recommend the crab cakes or Brocoli Pizza, but have enjoyed just about everything else. The Fried Alligator at the International Food Court was good and unique. I've never heard of the fried cheese on a stick before this thread haha, but I guess it comes highly recommended. http://www.knoebels.com/food.asp Just so much stuff! -

Yea, I think you are the only person in the world that likes Mean Streak over El Toro. I've ridden 48 wooden coasters and Mean Streak is 48th on the list. Boring plus rough equals bad coaster. -
I'm 6-3. Over-the-shoulder-restraints in general suck. My recomendation is to try not to "staple" yourself too much, and slouch down in the seat as much as possible.

TPR's Scandinavia 2009 Trip!
Wood Dragon 1988 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^But B&M floorless and inverted coasters cost that much don't they? There are plenty of those, and pretty much all of them are no match for an Intamin wooden. -
Cedar Point is in Ohio, which automatically makes it in a lame area There has got to be some stuff to do by the water at least? They have a beach, waterpark, and indoor water park if nothing else. Cedar Point is known to have some of the longest queues in the world. If you're coming all the way from the U.K., give yourself at least 2 days.

Good stuff, I love that park, and have never seen it that empty! I've always wanted to camp there. And LOL at the tractor powered Flyers! Knoebels is awesome....now hurry up and open those new credits!
