  1. They also used it for some scout overnight camping thing a month or two ago.
  2. Rolling Thunder was removed after the 2013 operating season. The carnival ride you mentioned was either Deja Vu or the Teacups.
  3. The only rides that really get sizable lines on the dry side of the park are the Wild Mouse, Thunder Canyon, and Whitewater Landing. The other rides are usually pretty much walk-ons until the people start coming over from the wet side of the park.
  4. I just got back from the park, and everything seemed to be running, even Stinger.
  5. I do not have good experiences with stand-up roller coasters. I've ridden Green Lantern at Great Adventure twice, and that's two times too many. They are just painful pieces of crap.
  6. You can always ride Wicked Cyclone without a Platinum Flash Pass, but you will not be able to queue up the coaster unless you have the Platinum. You also cannot use the ride twice option on Wicked Cyclone.
  7. Especially since they decreased the price since it first opened and also made it free for pass-holders.
  8. Nowhere in the article you linked does it state that the injury was from a shot fired into the sky.
  9. Or trademarked for use in one park and ending up being used in another park (Banshee).
  10. You mentioned a ride called "Serial Thriller". Did you mean "Mind Eraser"?
  11. Hershey's FastTrack is not worth it. It only gives you front of the line access once for each ride included in the pass. You also can't choose the seat you ride in.
  12. I'm one of those who's of two minds about Namtab. If it's anything like the backwards part of Vekoma shuttles, then I'm not really sure I want to ride it.
  13. I'm going Thursday as well. Although many people on here may tell you to head straight to Laff Trakk, personally I'm bringing a friend who's never been before so I've decided to hit Fahrenheit first as usual because it's a more exciting "starter ride". Then we'll book it to Laff Trakk from there. I figure since the vast, vast majority of people start the park in the area closer to the entrance and then gradually make their way from there, we'll still be ahead of the crowds this way. Here's hoping I'm right because I sure as hell don't want to wait an hour for an indoor spinning coaster. I made the mistake of not hitting Laff Trakk early in the day when I went this past Wednesday. When I finally got in line, it was at least an hour wait, if not longer.
  14. When I went a couple weekends ago, the front row was the only row I rode in. When it comes to hyper-coasters, I only ever ride in the front row. So you've never done Nitro in the back row? It's like an entirely different ride imo. I have taken a couple rides in the back of Nitro just to see what it's like, but I much prefer the front. I prefer having airtime as I crest the hills.

  16. I'm the one who emailed the park. It is on all three levels of the Flash Pass. They just need to get a move on with updating the web-site. By the way, if you look at the park map, you'll see a Flash Pass logo near Batman.
  17. I just got back from my first ever visit to Hersheypark. I rode all of the coasters except the kiddie coaster. The longest line I had was on Laff Trak. It was at least an hour wait. Comet was very smooth for an old wooden coaster. Hershey needs to teach Dorney how to take care of old wooden coasters. Wildcat was rough, but not painfully so. Both sides of Lightning Racer were awesome. I found SooperDooperLooper to be fun, but not all that forceful. Great Bear was amazing in the back row on the left side. Trailblazer was actually quite fun and nowhere near as rough as Runaway Mine Train at SFGAdv. Skyrush was just amazing. Sidewinder was your typical Vekoma Shuttle which always scare the crap out of me during the second half. Fahrenheit was forceful and fun. Stormrunner was fun, but the restraints hurt my shoulders. I actually like Hershey's Wild Mouse better than Dorney's because the cars are bigger and I don't feel so cramped. In my opinion, Laff Trak doesn't spin as much as it should. A spinning coaster should be like Pandemonium at SFNE. All in all I had a good day. I just wish the park was closer so I could go more often.
  18. I went to Great Adventure last year on July 5 for the fireworks, and it was a nightmare getting out of the parking lot. I had used the Gold Flash Pass, so the lines didn't really bother me.
  19. I think Cedar Fair realizes that most people go to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom for Wildwater Kingdom so that's where they spend most of their money.
  20. Actually, Skyrush is at Hersheypark. Sky Rocket is at Kennywood.
  21. A lot of Dunkin' Donuts have multi-use coupons you can grab. They offer $14 off visits in May, June, and September; $10 off visits in July; and $8 off visits in August. I used one of those to buy my ticket for tomorrow. They work at the gate and online.
