Also, as much as people complain about dorney installing a drop tower when they already have one, dorney is the only park of the big 3 that even has a drop tower. As for demon drop, six flags great adventure used to have stuntman's free fall, a first gen intamin drop tower much like demon drop. My mother and her sisters loved that tower before it was taken down. Also showing them demon drop, they immediately noticed that it was much like free fall, even the point where it rights the car after the drop. Most of these people who've ridden stuntman's in their teen years are parents now, probably of teens. If there is a draw for the teens to get out to the park, then the parents have to come along, and see demon drop up close and, like I already said, notice the similarities and bask in the nostalgia. Rides like these, the whip, and enterprise, can give a reason for the parents, the ones with the money to return to the park, and the new rides, like a mega lite or wing coaster can keep their teen sons and daughters coming back to the park as well. If the park would install a mega lite, fitting it towards the front of the park or overlooking the parking lot can draw people in to what looks like a not too intimidating ride. The short trains make for quick dispatches and the short ride cycle keep trains moving, and by extension, the line. The ride itself will be able to compete with skyrush and el toro while being less intimidating for those not too into coasters. People will remember it as the small ride with short lines that kicks ass. And return to the park to ride it, not to mention the draw this ride will receive from enthusiasts. I don't know how this will work out in the chain, but it can probably work wonders for a single park like this one.

The one thing I think is good about dorney is that they have an excellent collection of thrilling flat rides compared to the other parks in the region (except maybe knoebels) The park only needs excellent coasters to begin to win over that area. In a perfect world, dorney would add a flying or wing coaster to draw in the crowds to the park (preferably wing from a business standpoint because we know its a big draw and there is nothing comparable in the area except skyrush and it will still have more draw because of loopty loops and 20 ft wide trains), buy back laser and slap gerstlauer trains and magnetic brakes on it, then, another year, they would build a megalite or pre-fab intamin woodie( maybe with a megalite layout) to round off the collection. Not like any of that's going to happen, but it's nice to think about the possibilities.

Didn't that tower survive Sandy?(hurricne force winds) I don't really see too much of a safety concern. might as well take down possessed at dorney or wiked twister for "safety resons". On the other hand, they aren't using it anyway and could make room for something else, something very small but it's something

Granted, but they are the dimmest lightbulbs in the world. I wish for a rule free, un backfirable wish. -
This thing is going to be ridiculously tall, It is going to be at LEAST 147.95 feet tall(10% taller than insano like in the reveal) I assume it will be at least 150 just to round off the numbers. 150 is considered big for coaster standards, it's CRAZY HUGE for waterpark standards. This thing will be taller than the majority of coasters in the U.S. to put it in perspective. Now, if only I could get to Kansas...

^ Even so whitewater is also creating waterslides with lim technology now (their adrenaLIM model) the sections also appear to not pack as much punch a proslide's model. However I am exited for this, maybe they could have the raft leave the slide in a more controlled manner(for safety purposes, this is the sue-happy U.S. after all.)

Word filter strikes yet again. On topic: 1.you need to catch yourself when when talking about YOLOcoaster not to say YOLOcoaster. 2.You say YOLOcoaster anyway 3.You explain what YOLOcoaster means, how it started, and mention the ride's true name 4.Your "normal" friends are still confused -

Granted, but it will be used as a giant lawn ornament. I wish Rocky Mountain gave the Iron Horse treatment to El Toro. -

Granted, but the ride is scrapped in the middle of the opening year. I wish I could cure cancer. -
