When I rode The Voyage in July, aside from a moment or two in the spaghetti bowl, it didn’t feel any rougher than average for a wooden coaster. Still nice to see them maintaining it well, even if it means closing it for the season early.

Fahrenheit at Hersheypark. This coaster seems to get a lot of mixed reviews but I thought it was amazing. It’s very forceful and snappy, almost on the same level as Maverick.

Going back to Minnesota for a few days in mid-October, so I’ll be stopping by Nickelodeon Universe and Valleyfair while I’m there.

That’s unfortunate to hear. I’m starting to regret skipping this park when I was in Cincinnati back in July, as it looked like a fun little park. Oh well...

Steel Vengeance last night.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride.

Grand Carnivale it is.

Announcement is officially coming tomorrow. I’m hoping to see either a new flat in the old RipTide spot or a waterpark addition.

Steel Curtain at Kennywood.

I did end up riding Kozmo’s Kurves, that ride actually has a decent of force for how small it is. Forgot to add earlier, the food at Knoebels was delicious, especially the waffle sundae I had.

Been having a great day at Knoebels so far today. It’s a very charming park with a nice setting in the valley and an old-school atmosphere that has some great rides. Phoenix is a phenomenal coaster, the buzz bars with no seatbelts made for some very strong and somewhat frightening moments of airtime. Twister is a very fun ride with nice laterals, Flying Turns surprised me with how intense it was, and Impulse is a solid looper. Their Flyers are by far the best I’ve ever been on, their log flume is one of the better ones, and the Carousel was a lot of fun, especially with grabbing the rings. Can see why most enthusiasts love this park, and I’ll definitely have to come back again in the near future.

Steel Force at Dorney Park.

Magnum XL-200!

I will be visiting Six Flags Great Adventure on Sunday, August 4th for a few hours in the evening, then all day on Monday the 5th. This will be my first visit to the park. 1) How crowded should I expect the park to be on those day, and how long I should expect season pass processing to take? Would it be worth getting a Platinum Flash Pass for Monday? 2) In what order should I hit the coasters? 3) Any interesting or underrated flat rides I should check out? 4) Anything else I should know?

I’ll be visiting Dorney Park on Sunday, August 4th as part of a PA/NJ coaster trip. Since I usually hear that the park does not get crowded, I’m guessing four hours would be enough time to ride everything at least once, am I correct? My tentative plan is to be at Dorney Park from Open to 2pm and then head to Great Adventure for the evening.

The Voyage finally opened at 2:45, got a ride in the front row and the back car, and I now have a new favorite wooden coaster! It’s everything a wooden coaster should be with a great first drop, some insane intensity/forces, and lots of strong airtime. Been enjoying the rest of the park as well, Raven and Legend are both great wooden coasters, and Thunderbird is my new favorite B&M wing coaster, as it’s a bit more intense than the rest.

I’m at Holiday World right now and The Voyage has not opened so far today. Does it usually have a lot of mechanical downtime?

Mystic Timbers!
