YoshiFan

I'm hoping that the lines will get shorter as well. Anything to take lines away from the coasters is good in my opinion.

The Joker on that page probably is Dorney's unfortunately. I wish they would have moved it somewhere else in the park instead of removing it. Even if it really was Woodstock's Express that was for sale, I don't think it would be a huge loss. The park already has 1 kiddie (Little Laser) and 1 kiddie/family coaster (Dragon) and 3 kiddie/family coasters in a park with only 9 coasters total seems excessive anyway (not that they should remove the ride but it really doesn't seem like they needed it in the first place)

Yoshi is my favorite game character and I use the name Yoshi or YoshiFan (if Yoshi is taken) on most forums I post on.

I heard mixed opinions about the controls since with only 1 analog stick on the PSP, you use the 4 buttons in place of the 2nd stick like on the Dual Shock. I wish the DS version wasn't cancelled since I think that would have worked better with the stylus and touch screen.

I got it 2 years ago and still got the flu. I don't think I'm going to get it this year

Yoshi's Touch and Go is a game that I really like. It's the perfect pick up and play game that you play for 10 - 20 minutes at once. For Gameboy Advance Games, my favorite game is Super Monkey Ball Jr. It includes a lot of levels from the Gamecube game but also has a full bowling game and 2, 9 hole golf courses (mini golf style) so you get a lot of value and re-playability.

That's a great idea. I might do it if I don't get the game by the middle of next week. On a side note, I don't know if it's been out for a while or not since I live in an area where the arcade seems to be a thing of the past but I saw a Mario Kart arcade machine today. It was made by Namco and Nintendo but it's awesome, way better than Double Dash.

Excellent post. It's amazing how it only took a few years for the park to totally change because of a change in ownership. The park now just seems to lack character and feels like "just another park" rather than the old Dorney which was special.

Everest, looks like it will be a great ride

I'm really starting to regret pre-ordering from Outpost.com now. They had it for $23.99 with no tax so I figured it was a great deal and I thought pre-ordering over 1 1/2 weeks before the release date would mean I would get it at the end of this week. It's backordered and they don't have an exact ship date. I guess I shouldn't have decided to be cheap with a Mario Kart game and save the deals for other games I don't care about as much.

They also removed the boats near the Zephyr in 2000 I think which I was very dissapointed to see gone because that was a ride I always used to go on when I was a kid. The new bumper cars are some of the worst I have ever been on. Only 11 cars (when I was there) and each car holds 1 person so capcity is horrible. Controlling the cars with the levers hurts your hands because they rattle so much and when you bump into another car, there is almost no impact. And I'm not sure how often they need to do it but they have to refuel the cars and they had to close the ride for 15 minutes to refuel them.

I hope Tree Top Racers is saved. I have never been to the park but I have been on a clone of the ride at Playland in Ocean City, NJ and it was a fun ride. Some of those hills even gave some air time. And since I think there were only 5 of them made, it would be a shame to lose one.

What makes it worse is that there is already a small Subway stand in the park. I hate how Cedar Fair seems to be taking anything old or "classic" out of the park whether it be buildings or rides.

The only SLC I have been on is Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers and although I thought it was a little rough, overall I thought it was a good ride. I prefer B&M inverts but I would ride any SLC I see as long as the line wasn't too bad 9that's if I get to other parks with them).

Beatmania 5th Mix (PS1 Import)

Buy a huge house and put in an indoor waterpark and a giant arcade with every DDR machine, and 100+ other arcade games. Then I would call B&M and have an invert and floorless installed in my backyard. I would also take a few hundered million and put it towards diabeates research to try to find a cure.

Coasters, video games especially DDR and all the other Bemani games from Konami (Beatmania, Guitar Freaks, Pop N Music, Keyboardmania etc.)

Personally, I don't care that it didn't go to Great Adventure since it's not something I would have ridden (I don't go on flat rides that flip you upside down) but I think a lot of people who are Great Adventure fans are going to be dissapointed because Great Adventure is seriously lacking in flats (and losing Rodeo Stampede doesn't help either) and Swat was going to be the ride to make up for that.

Strongly disfavorable, I hate how they are taking a classic ride and updating it to go along with a movie. What's next, an Eddie Murphy character added into the Haunted Mansion?

Early December is always a great time to go. Even up to a few days before Christmas isn't that bad, last year I got there on the 23rd and even popular rides like Space Moutain were only 30 minutes (and that was later in the day) compared to the almost 2 hours line it got a few days later. I wish they ran this even a few days later into December because with finals going into the end of mid December, I usually don't get there until the 22nd or 23rd (driving rather than flying).

They recently brought them back. I saw them advertised on TV a few weeks ago.

Eminem

All the old Nickelodeon shows from the 80's and early 90's NFL Video Games that aren't made by EA Sports Tivoli Pier (an small indoor amusement park in Tropworld in Atlantic City, NJ) Older Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines (every arcade seems to have Extreme now which is getting boring)
