I can't remember, but does dorney have bumpercars?

I don't think there is much if any difference between a jojo roll, and a heartline roll. I guess you go thru a heartline twist a lot faster. The fact that you go into it before the lift may also have something to do with it.

I like this park, but is it just me, or does it seem to be missing something?

A few more..... Funny, but true. Wicked twister media day .

I have been meaning to post these pictures, but just kept forgetting. So here they are. This is a combination of a few trips to dorney park that I made a few years ago. I believe it was the last year that the laser coaster was there. On the way to the park from Michigan I saw this sign. I don't know what to think about a company with the name "fag". We also swung by the old tiger stadium to watch a little bit of the demo work. It was sad to see, as I spent a lot of time watching tigers games there when I was a kid. Sigh... Yayyy...we made it!!! When we arrived at the gate, the clouds started to roll in. As soon as we set foot in the park, the rain started to fall. I think I will skip this. It cost's extra to ride this. Did not ride the wave swinger. The wild mouse coaster. See!!! It started to rain harder, so I ducked into the game time grille for a quick beer. But when I saw that they wanted almost $8 for a beer, I passed on it. The last time I was at the park, they were building this. Nice sign. Looks like a great ride. I don't think anyone in the park that day could read. It was just one line that was not moving because people did not know there were 2 lines. Duck!!! Station shot. Jojo roll in all it's green glory. The ride fits into the land very well. Sigh....... I totaly cought this guy with a hand full of boob. By time I got the shot off, his woman moved his hands. The park has a tilt a whirl. It was built into the ground. Drool.... They took this ride out to put demon drop in this year. Drool... Did you know? awww Thunderhawk....Wait....Where have I heard that name before? Failed try at getting a cool shot. Scrambler. Thunderhawks lift hill. They seem happy. While in line for thunderhawk, I was able to get a few shots of steel force. Thunderhawk station. History. Anyone know why there is a sunroof in the lift hill motor building? Lift hill porn. It's a decent coaster, but not gonna make it on my top 10. Ok...time for some steel force. Random fact....Did you know that this sign was supposed to be for the banshee coaster at cedar point, untill cedarpoint changed the name of banshee to mantis. More facts..... In case you forgot what coaster you are in line for, they remind you. Station shot My chariot has arrived. Is it a coaster car, or a bath tub? This looks like good sex. Me like. One last look at the airtime greatness. Is this what they are talking about when they say "get bent"? Rode this...it was lame. I guess it had a lot to do with riding max air a few days ago. Interesting kiddie ride. Rockets and horses. Remember this? I really loved this ride. Random shot. Swooping turns. The ride had some weird looking footers. Station shot. Interesting geek shot. People loved this ride. Wood blocks kept this ride off the ground. Double loops. Transfer track area. One last look. Next up... Meh...These type coasters are ok, but not my favorate. They got this coaster from geauga lake. Cool color choice for the monster ride. This ride is tha whip. Drop tower ride. I skipped it this time around, as I am more of a coaster person. Wow...a cedar fair park with trees. They had one of the coaster dynamix working models in a gift shop. Random flat ride. The name of this show says it all. The chicks in this show were HOT!!! Next up... I really like the B&M inverts, and this one is great. Station shot. The train to nowhere... Random shot that I like for some reason. On the way out, I snapped a shot of the halloweekends herse.

A few more pages. This is the mean streak training log. More to come.

Thank you. I will post a bunch more pages tomorrow. I am being lazy tonight.

I think it is because of the ramp. If memory serves me, for every foot of height, you have to have 10 feet of run off for wheel chairs. It's the ADA that sets these rules.

I find it funny that they tell the toll booth people to take cover in the toll booth, even though there is a office building right there. And in locations in the park, they tell people to stay away from glass. But the toll booths are made of all glass.

I have a six flags, cedar fair, and dollywood pass this year.

Here are a few pages to start things out. This book is HUGE. It's like a phone book. Stay tuned....more to come. Storm info. This is the daily operational report. Each ride has to fill one of these in. It records the number of riders, and any issues with the ride. You better behave, or your going to get points. The power loop.

Next up, I have the 2002 park operations manual from cedar point. I will scan a bunch of pages, and post them.

What a scam. You should send that to the company that makes the game, and ask them what's up with that.

Next up, I have a magic mountain booklet fromm 2001. On the map, you can see the drop tower, x, psyclone, flashback, and a few flat rides that are no longer there. Front of booklet. Inside map. Back of booklet.

We went to hoffman's playland last year, and theywere closed due to a rain shower that passed that morning. We even called, and they said that they would be open. Oh well, maybe will will get back out there sometime soon.

Like someone else said, it seems that the corporate parks are more concerned about the bottom line than they are with guest satisfaction.

The only problem with that, is that there is a hotel right next to that group area. I don't think a lot of people want to hear the rattle of a wood coaster keeping them up all night....Unless they are a coaster geek like me.

So true... When you go to a smaller park, the lines are not as bad, and you don't feel fleeced when you leave. In my opinion, a coaster does not have to be 700 feet tall to be good. I like ravine flyer or even skystreak at lakemont, better than a coaster like....the racer, wicked twister, superman...ect. Not to mention the charm as well. There is more to the smaller parks than concrete and garbage cans. Smaller parks have a great atmosphere and things you will not find at the larger corpoate parks. Not to mention the food and prices are always better. I had some of the best food ever at an amusement park, when we went to knobles.

Here is a list of parks near new york..... http://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=3&no=4582&ex=1

Well said. I tend to believe the same thing. We went to waldamier(sp) park this year, and we had more fun there, than we have had in years at cedarpoint.

The employees should know it's gonna be hot. It's a volcano.

With the exception of the crappy food and high prices for that crappy food, I had no issues with kings D. I actually really like this park. I think besides cedarpoint, Kd is the 2'nd best park in the chain.

Where is the video of the stacker game? I always thought of trying the game, but not after hearing this.

It's simple. Just look on rollercoaster database, and type in new york. It will tell you all the parks near there.

Not really coaster related, but after I saw that wacky pack, I thought I would share a few of them on here. I also threw in some garbage pail kids after I saw the "Rob" wearing mickey mouse ears. I think the Rob one is funny.
