Ejector airtime causes erectile dysfunction. My mom told me.

Granted, but coaster enthusiasts visiting CP will complain about the dinosaurs not being scary enough I wish Dorney RMC'd their kiddie coaster

Is this what the Kings Dominion thread will be like when they announce a new coaster?

It could be worse, it could have been named after a can of soda and be called the Red Bull Revolution for the next twenty years. I'd forgotten just how many rides Blackpool had named after drinks at once in the early 2000's Or given it some weird, barely pronounceable animal name. Parastratiosphecomyiastratiosphecomyioides isn't hard to pronounce, you just need to sound it out.

There's more to it than that though, especially with GADV. This is what the park has done in the past 8 years: Removed: Removed Chiller Removed GASM Removed Rolling Thunder Closed off entire section of the park past chiller, which put other flats out of commission while they also removed the Intamin 1st Gen Freefall Some rides that were removed (Chaos) were changed to smoking sections rather than replaced with new rides Removed the giant Teepee Added: The Dark Knight - indoor wild mouse The Green Lantern - relocated standup coaster Bizzaro - Medusa is repainted and some of the theming is literally turned upside down, sometimes they turn the fire on too Zumanjaro - Drop tower added to the side of already-built Kingda Ka Safari RIde - The park changed the already existing safari into one that leaves through controlled vehicle from the park and billed it as a new ride. There was an outpost stop added with an upcharged zipline. They didn't add the monkeys back. Larson loop bulled as a coaster S&S 4D coaster that isn't as good as the Intamin version (yes I've ridden both). The capacity and waits for the SFFT version were consistently horrible. That's off the top of my head, sure I've missed something but hopefully not that major. I personally have not bought a SF season pass because I haven't had a reason to go back to GADV (I live in NYC) in the past 3 years and I only go to 1 or 2 other SF parks each summer. My GP friends don't ever feel compelled to go back, usually the saying is "maybe if they add a new big ride, it'll be worth the lines and admission price". When have you last felt compelled to go back to GADV Rob? Do you want to NJ for this ride? Yes there's obviously a lot of investment that was put into the park prior to these past 8 years but really nothing great has been done since Obama's been in office (must be his fault ). I personally get my fair share of credits from travelling for work and then staying a few extra days to go to parks like SFFT, Alton Towers and Thorpe, BGT, etc. And I do one day want to go back and relive Nitro and El Toro and Ka. But to see what's been added to the park recently, or lack thereof, has just been disappointing considering what parks like SFMM and SFGA receive, and everybody here would agree that GADV was once grouped with those parks in terms of SF money allotment. That they have to tear down an entire waterfront theater space for a ride that has a smaller footprint than a Togo heartline twister also confuses me. Here's to hoping for those dueling launched wingriders that reuse Chiller's station, theme to Batman vs. Superman, and dominate that aforementioned closed off area of the park in two years I guess... How many other SF parks have 5 B&Ms, a giant Intamin Accelerator, an El Toro, and now a 4D coaster with nothing but good reviews? I don't know how long you've been a coaster enthusiast, but after a year you should learn that waiting in line is inevitable. There are two simple ways to avoid lines, but there are downsides. 1. Buy Flash Pass or that park's equivalent. Downside: It costs quite a few dollars. 2. Make Dorney your home park. Downside: Dorney will be your home park. I'll be honest, I was slightly disappointed when I found out that they were getting the smaller model. After 10s of seconds of thinking, I became very excited for this addition.

The Mondial Windseekers had trouble because they were Mondial Windseekers, not Mondial Windseekers. Did that make any sense?

Does anyone else think there will be some changes like the ones during Twisted Colossus' construction?

Well played, Title Fairy

Granted, but it also makes a B&M roar when you turn it on I wish RCTW will come with B&M roars

When capitalize is spelled

...realized it was a Chinese knock-off poop. After walking for 10s of days, he finally found an Intamin...

Your right nipple turning into Nicholas Cage What's worse than getting Raptor'd by a seagull?

MidStates begins Kings Island The beautiful entrance Thread the needle Bat was short and enjoyable Racer station Fancy I almost blacked out on the loops Racer

N/A I wish for Knoebels got a Double Shot

Peeing with no pants when you aren't home What's worse than a bowel movement on a roller coaster?

Here's the alleged more. Mean Streak from the queue of Maverick Pipe Scream isn't a roller coaster Nor is Power Tower After getting on every roller coaster by 4, what's a better way to celebrate? Nobody got Raptor'd today This picture is similar to the next one This picture is similar to the last one That cloud looks vaguely threatening More gate being kept Quite photogenic if I do say so myself I had to Midway I spy a TTD Slingshot was .50 well spent Light it up! What?... We never rode Ocean Motion Goodbye Cedar Point Hello Hersheypark! My friend once found 0 on this path Twisty bit!

Is there a way to tell which train is which on Hydra? Whenever I ride it I get the rattley one.

It's not what you need, it's what SF wants

4/10 Vertical loops on stand up coaster

It's a trademark for the name "Fury"

Can I have something embarrassing me about Dorney Park being my home park? I've learned to accept that.

That's quite a helpful suggestion. With that being said, here's the next batch of pictures. We leave temporarily to acquire food. And we return to keep some gate Fabulous We didnt ride the Giant Wheel Iron Dragon had a cult following I seem to like this angle of Rougarou Another TTD I can now say I literally rode a roller coaster into the sunset Gemini Midway approaching night Gemini Top Thrill Dragster ft. Snoopy That one light ruined ti Leaving the park I'll see you again! And here we are on Day 2 Corkscrew's Corkscrews ft. Power Tower and TTD Gemini once again Cedar Creek Mine Ride was worse than I remember Mean Streak wasn't that bad. 2nd to last car, back row, left side. It's as smooth as Dorney's Thunderhawk You'll be seeing more of these Maverick More to come!

Intimidator is a scaled-up Mega-Lite. The entire layout is almost move-for-move a copy of Kawasemi or Piraten, with changes in hill size and orientation to deal with the huge difference in speed. I remember Robb posting videos of Intimidator 205 and a Mega-lite for comparison. The second hill under the lift is really the only thing they have in common.

If you saw my last trip report, good for you. It's time for the next one. I took much more pictures this year than last year, so it will take a bit longer to get through all of them. The parks we visited were: Knoebels Cedar Point Hersheypark Kings Island Holiday World Dollywood Carowinds Busch Gardens Williamsburg Kings Dominion Shall we begin? You have no choice, I'm going to. We begin again with Knoebels Impulse was a sexy beast Phoenix was still an amazing ride As was Twister. This marks the end of Knoebels ...and the beginning of Cedar Point! Walking to the Marina entrance. Millennium Force decided to break down, so we began with Rougarou. So much better than Mantis Millennium Force started running again I waited for the front, and it kept breaking down. When I got off, my group left. This picture seemed original at the time Top Thrill Dragster Always a photogenic ride More Rougarou And another TTD Power Tower's shot side was a walk-on From Magnum's queue Corkscrew's Corkscrew No Raptor'ing today Blue Streak Certain seats will give you a ride worse than Mean Streak Wicked Twister Another Wicked Twister More to come soon.

45 minutes to Maverick is crowded? I waited 2 1/2 hours for Maverick and the rest of the park didn't seem very crowded.
