Since I doubt Trailblazer or their (awesome) Wild Mouse would go, Roller Soaker has to go. I've been on it once, and never again. It was just boring and kinda pointless. You could get just as wet on Tidal Force with 1/4 of the wait time.

Nor'Easter was pretty bad too, until the new restraints were installed. They didn't help much, but now when you get jerked back and forth, there's no headbanging.

I would put Mean Streak on here, but my roughest ride ever was Wildcat at HP when it still had the PTC trains. Pouring rainstorm, it was the only ride open, and I was stupid. The thing flew through the soaked track- if it had the Flyers at that point, it may have been somewhat enjoyable, but those damn PTC trains were on. Turns were rough to begin with, let alone going faster through them in a storm raining down water bullets. I actually got two bruises- one on my arm and another on my leg.

Erm, Xcelerator was the first Intamin launcher I haven't gotten to Hershey since the new padding was added. I did get to ride on June 4, 10 days after it opened. I was there on a class trip and I couldn't believe how many people were complaining. I was uncomfortable, but that was because we sat on the brakes for 5 minutes because the ride ops were ridiculously awful. I didn't really feel pain. I just really hope they don't trim this down because of the stupid GP who can't handle a little intensity.

SDL was running one train today. Line wasn't too bad- chewed through it in about 15 minutes. Looks very nice and spiffy, and the brakes are much smoother and fluid. Skyrush was freakin amazing, and one of my new favorites. The second hill was one of the most insane moments of airtime I've ever experienced. But since everyone is probably sick of all the good things, I'll say the negative. Obviously, the lap-bar crushed my thighs. When we sitting on the brakes waiting to unload, I began to lose feeling in my legs. The outer seats seemed tighter and more painful. Queue will overflow very quickly on a Saturday in summer. Line was full today and it only took 30 minutes to get to the loading. Also, dispatches were pretty slow, with a train sent out every 3-5 minutes. The single side load/unload doesn't help either. Everything in the park ran great, though. Storm Runner could use some paint, but Hershey is looking as good as every. Two thumbs up for Skyrush!

Class trip on June 4! As I still cannot drive, this will be my first chance to ride the new hotness. Sky looks absolutely sick, and I hope it'll run like I305. Really does seem like a 200-foot version. Also, those winged outer seats look amazing, and I cannot imagine skimming across the ground with your feet dangling. Of course, I still have to give StormRunner and Lightning Racer some love, but Sky's at the top of my list right now.

Playing Skyward Sword for the 3rd time. And it continually gets better. On the other, SSX made me wanna throw my controller through the TV for the first 2 hours. But then... it clicked. It got easier, and so much funner

Whitebread? Lol, I guess so. It's usually not bad, but... there was one day that was terrible. I had someone get in my face because I threw out a soda the same time they did. I guess it kinda ruined my memory of the place. I've been on Steel Force more than fifty times, and I personally favor Nitro a little more. It's smoother and I think that Nitro's helix is a little more intense. Steel Force has much better airtime, though. But Nitro's trains don't allow preppy teenage girls to take duck-face photos mid-helix, I give it that.

I didn't mean just Philly. I'm just giving an example. Allentown has some pretty shady characters too. Although now that I think about, if Steel Force was built two years later, it could've been a B&M Hyper, not a Morgan. That would've been kick-ass.

Being my hometown park, I have a season pass to this place. Most often, I go up with a group of friends to just hang out and have fun. I have mixed feelings on Stinger, but there is one major issue that no one's really brought up... The people. The people at Dorney have to be some of the shadiest crowds you'll see anyway. Buses from Philly are common, and many poor urban families get their first coaster rides here. However, they're also obnoxious, loud, foul-mouthed, and love to line-jump. I'm not saying it'll ruin your day, but you can only hear someone scream "OH F*@K!!!! HOLY S#^T!!!!" so many times before it gets to you.
