Little Coaster Girl

Gee , sounds like what is going on in iraq right now, are you sure its not the same book ??? Another reason i dont believe in religion. Too many people have died in the name of religion. I am glad disney is doing this, its sad that love in today's society is bad unless your a white male and white female, or black male and black female. God , no wait , religion forbid you should be off from those category's. I think any love for someone should be allowed.

Here are my top 5 steel and top 5 wood which equals my top 10. Steel : 1. Steel Force - dorney 2. Nitro - six flags NJ 3. Great Bear - hersheypark 4. Talon - dorney 5. Phantom's Revenge - kennywood Wood : 1. El Toro - six flags NJ 2. Lightning Racer - hersheypark 3. Phoenix - knoebels 4. Comet - hersheypark 5. Leap the Dips - Lakemont (just because its so old and neat)

At Great Adventure in NJ i have seen those on quite a few employees also.

crazy mouse at delgrosso's

Well i hope it does get better, because i would like to go back, and i hope they get a better coaster to take chiller's spot if it doesnt want to work.

How many times have you road Steel Force ? It DONT meander through anything, especially its helix.

STEEL FORCE all the way, none can compare.

I am hopeing they clean it up, its got several of the top coasters around, and a great potential for making big money by bringing in the crowds. But if they keep running it the way it is, it will fall like some of the other six flags, and that would be a shame. I am hopeing , even though i would have liked to ride it, that they get rid of chiller and get another great coaster in its spot. Getting rid of GASM would be a good idea to, or at least put some more foam on the restraints for padding.

I completely agree.

Adding to the trip report - my views - My main reason of going to six flags great adventure was for El Toro, but i though if i didnt get to ride it there where plenty of coasters that i could ride to ease my disapointment. Well i am glad now that El Toro wasnt down all day. I really didnt like the park much. If El Toro and Nitro wouldnt have been there, the park would have gotten a C from me, but with them there it upgraded it to a B. El Toro was fantastic, and well worth a stand in line. Easily my favorite woodie, and i dont see it being replaced anytime soon. I could have road it all day. The only complaint was the the restraints. The seat belt could have been longer, other wise the staff and coaster where great. Nitro was fantastic also, great ride, and great ride staff. I could ride this coaster all day also. Skull Mt. i also liked , it wasnt the best dark coaster ride i have had, but it wasnt the worst either. Batman was lame compared to Talon at Dorneypark and Great Bear at Hersheypark. To me it was rough and alot shorter and slower. Rolling Thunder would have been better if they actually would run them racing like there supposed to be ran. They where only running 3 trains, but even when they did have the ability to race them , they didnt. The front seat there isnt much air, and the back beats the hell out of you. So my advise, ride the middle for a happy medium. Pretty much the worst woodie i have been on, but still worth riding only because its a woodie. Medusa was nice, i do think Hydra is better. Mainly because medusa is a bit rougher and i like Hydra's layout better. But i did like medusa. Great American Scream Machine was just terrible. I was so excited about riding this because of all the loops, i love loops, but you couldnt even enjoy them because you were too preoccupied with the pain in your head from bouncing it off of the over the head restraints. Too painful to ride again. I have been on Arrow's and Vekoma's before, but this was the worst yet for pain. Disappointing. Runaway Mine Train wasnt bad either. It was better than i thought it would be. I would have liked riding Kingda Ka , but the line was un real, and i was preoccupied with El Toro. Didnt want to really ride any of the other coasters there. Superman wasnt my style, i dont like laying on my restraints. And the 2 kids coasters i didnt have time for, the lines during the time i was there where long, so i wanted to ride the bigger ones first and get more rides on the best. Chiller was still down, but i wanted to try it. Things i liked about the park - El Toro, Nitro, Medusa, the crew for el toro and nitro where efficient and funny, the park was pretty clean, and it was nice themeing. Panda Express was good. Things i didnt like about the park - Batman the ride, GASM ( which is better than the name spelled out ) , some of the crews where terrible, like the one on rolling thunder, the maps were bad , some showed paths where there werent any , so we got screwed up many times on KA's side of the park. The parking price is terrible. The food & drink price is terrible. Other notes of interest - The space shuttle ride was neat, it was cool they had a bungie type ride along side the skycoaster. I liked the skyride they had, didnt get to ride it because of the line, but it was a cool height. I liked some of the movie themeing. Didnt like the tigers being stuck there with no shade, they had 3 that i could see, and only one had water. Did like the look of alot of the buildings. Overall i am glad that we had buy one get one free coupons, and that we went on a weekday, it helped with my dislike of the park. I thought it would be better than it was. I will say i am glad that i went , mainly because of El Toro, it made my day. And i did get some new credits. But when i go again ( yes i am going again in the future because i want to ride El Toro again ) , i will make sure i have coupon in hand, because this is only a $40 park, not a $60 + park. I am so glad i live so close to Hersheypark, Dorneypark, and Knoebels.

Would love to ride that carousel.

I am hopeing that Knoebels picks up some rides from the WilliamsGrove sale in september. And i am waiting for the new coasters to be put up at Dorney Park and Delgrosso's.

And i would have brought the Lion home with me if i could have.

Actually there are a few things to do in that area, there are speed boats that leave from the mainland about every hour, and go to the small islands north of cedar point. One of the islands is called Put-In-Bay , and there are a couple of caves there to see.

We where planning a trip to cedar point for 2 days sometime next summer, how far in advance do you have to make reservations at one of there hotels at the park ? They have like 2 hotels and one camping area right ? Thanks.

I'm willing to do a marathon on Steel Force at DorneyPark.

Great trip report, glad you like my hometown park, knoebels. Just to let you know that the fastest train ride , you can take your dog on it. No joking, they let you ride with your dog. And i hope you got lots of re rides on skyliner at lakemont, usually you dont have to get out of your seat. Oh and you can actually eat on there train ride, i love lakemont.

Is it actually possible for a boomarang to actually run for 220 hours with out breaking down ?

Me and Jim S. have been to : Hersheypark Delgrosso's Lakemont kennywood knoebels ( often ) DorneyPark (twice) Coming the rest of the season hopefully : Six Flags Great Adventure more trips to Hersheypark More trips to knoebels Maybe another trip to lakemont

Knoebels Grove is where i grew up, which is about 35 min. away. I also used to go to williamsgrove when i was a kid, which is about an hour or so away. Hersheypark - 2 hours Dorney - 2 hours Kennywood - 4 hours Six Flages NJ - 3 hours

Here are 2 of the Jet Star from Knoebels if you dont have them. It will take me a couple days to look through my other pics, i will have to scan them first.

I will look through my pics as a kid and see if i can find some from knoebels and williamsgrove, i know i have some.

I like them, dont know what they look like on the inside, but there nice on the outside.

I vote going to all of them.
