I rode Great Bear in the front twice and in the back once. The back was better but still the ride didn't appeal to me all that much and I usually love B&M Inverts.

^^ great bear over DD and Alpengeist? I'm amazed but you're entitled to your own opinion. Great Bear = great bore to me.

I've never actually noticed anybody line jumping on my many amusement park trips. I dare somebody to do it in front of me I'll tell them to go straight to the end of the line I don't care if it makes a scene people have no right to cut.

When I went when I first got there the park was SWARMED with camp kids. I was afraid I was going to be waiting in line all day after a day of hardly any long lines at Hershey. But yeah the magnetic gates were extremely confusing I remember times when my Dad would yell at me to go when I was just waiting for the gates to open But why would they go magnetic gates because of people pushing on the air gates? Did people just go to Dorney and do that a lot in one year and it annoyed the heck out of management? Also funny thing I should mention I went to CP in 2005 and didn't ride Demon Drop because it broke down. I was going to ride it this year and me and my Dad got in the seats and pulled our harnesses down and then the ride op said Demon Drop will be temporarily closed due to maintenance. Well at least I got to sit in the seats. Also the employees seemed to show a disliking for the ride I was telling my Dad how it was literally the same thing that was at Cedar Point five years ago and mentioned how CP didn't want it anymore so they dumped it here and one of the employees was listening to me said YUP EXACTLY! Also they were acting very sarcastic on the mic about the ride breaking down. I hope they remove it soon Dorney didn't need this ride at all they should of dumped it at MiA instead.

Why the lack of love for Fahrenheit? It's a great ride. Not as good as the amazingness that is Storm Runner but Fahrenheit entertained me more than any of the coasters at Dorney Park did.

I now have 2 more inverts to make my total 6. 1. Alpengeist 2. Afterburn 3. Raptor 4. Talon 5. Goliath 6. Great Bear (I would of loved this ride if it was the first invert I ever rode but after riding Alpie Afterburn and Raptor? no comparison)

Now that I've ridden Hydra I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's a great coaster. I actually enjoyed it more than S:KC but I still did not like it as much as Dominator at KD. The jojo roll was really cool and I liked the layout of Hydra for being a little bit different from the other two it definitely passed my expectations. Now I can't decide if it or Talon are the best coasters at Dorney neither of them really blew me away.

I did I tried two and the restraint came all the way down maybe two bad seats who knows. I didn't get to ride the Claw the day before because it was closed. EDIT: Also a curious note: the gates to the roller coasters at Dorney. I have never been to park with these weird magnet gates and felt kinda dumb my first ride of the day when my gate didn't open and I just stood there. Any idea why dorney chooses these gates over the automatic air gates?

Went to Dorney Park for the first time ever yesterday! Great park very clean and none of the rides were terrible. The one thing I didn't understand was the Revolution not allowing me to ride. I am not that big I am about 6' 3" 260 pounds and most people tell me I'm not that big and was denied because "the light didnt turn on" and was sent on my first ever walk of shame from an amusement ride. But other than that Dorney was great other than the mass amounts of camp groupds there

Just got back from my trip to PA! Went to Hershey sunday. Rode Fahrenheit 3x, Storm Runner 7x (i loved it......), Great Bore 3x (least favorite invert sorry fun ride but I've ridden way too many better inverts), LR 2x, Wildcat once, Wild Mouse once, Comet once, Sidewinder once, Roller soaker once, Soopersinglelooper once, and I checked out Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge. The crowds weren't too bad the longest line I waited in was for Sooperdooperlooper cause of one train op. I fell in love with Storm Runner it was the best coaster of the whole trip. Went to Dorney the next day had fun there too.

3 worst coasters I've ridden Hurler at Carowinds, Mind Eraser at SFA, and The Rattler at SFFT

I've ridden Superman KC and Dominator. I prefer Dominator. SKC had a sick layout but it was so unusually tame for me I don't know why but it let me down. I'm riding Hydra monday I'm curious if it can give these a run for their money but i doubt it.

Mine would be 1. Alpengeist 2. Afterburn 3. Raptor 4. Goliath SFFT Riding Great Bear and Talon this weekend!

When I went in April they had both running at the start of the day when I got there and then one running around 1 or 2. Also back on that day it was a walk on all day. Intamin Giga walk on goodness

I have ridden Wildcat, Lightning Racer, Thunderhead, and Roar. I haven't ridden the latter two since 2000 (but I'm riding them in two days ) and I choose thunderhead but I remember in 2000 that I GREATLY enjoyed Lightning Racer it was a beast.

I said the batwing. Afterburns is so intense I wish they'd build some more of them on inverts but I guess that would make em lose their uniqueness kinda like Cobra Rolls.

I'm going to Dorney on monday for the first time ever! I'm really stoked for Hydra, and Talon. I'm also going to hershey the two days before. Anything to know about Dorney I couldnt find out online?

Smoking pot in the queue line....wow. That is something I myself would never attempt to do. Around all those people? All it takes is one of them to tell somebody who could bust them but I guess if nobody at CP cared in line for TTD then people smoking pot aren't really a problem? I'm surprised I've never seen anything like that at KD

God this park is the one that makes me hate living on the east coast. Oh well at least we have El Toro, and i305.

I'm going on a saturday night (7/31) for my preview plan and then spending the whole day on sunday (8/1). What should I expect for crowds? I haven't been to hershey in 10 years and I haven't ridden Great Bear, Storm Runner, Fahrenheit, SDL, Sidewinder, and Roller Soaker.

I've been on.... Hypersonic XLC Flight of Fear Volcano Backlot stunt coaster Joker's jinx Poltergeist Wicked Twister Best launch = Hypersonic Best overall = the spaghetti bowls.

Phantasialand looks absolutely amazing. I must go there someday, Black Mamba is calling my name.

Roughest wood coaster IMO would be either the Rattler at SFFT or Hurler at Carowinds. Roughest steel easily Mind Eraser at SFA. Hated it.
