Knoebels Discussion Thread
njcoasterguy34 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe my question got lost in all the updates on this thread, but I'm wondering if Impulse is included in the all-day pass. On the web-site they list two all-day passes; one with the wooden coasters, and one without. However, they say nothing about whether Impulse is included or not. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread

I'm planning on visiting Knoebels on May 10. I visited the park about 6 or so years ago, but that was before I had conquered my fear of coasters. I'm planning on getting the ride all day pass with wooden coasters included. Does anyone know if that also includes Impulse or should I plan on buying some tickets in addition to the pass? -
I rarely eat the typically park food (burgers, fries, chicken tenders or pizza) at the park. However, there are quite a few unique options in the Boardwalk area including the buffalo chicken mac and cheese bowl. I also personally love Nathans, especially the onion ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings. And the turkey legs are always tasty, yet messy. Garden State Grill was pretty much the only place I got my meals at last season. The burgers there taste much better than at Best of the West.

Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread

The Kennywood web-site itself lists nearby hotels and motels. There actually are a few less than 5 miles from the park. reservations.kennywood.com/5489_hotel-list_m2558_r286746.html -
The reason the line for the SkyRide sucked this past season was because they were only operating one side. I remember a discussion about this a couple months ago and someone had said they were waiting for parts to arrive in order to fix the side that wasn't running. If both sides are running next season, then the line should move relatively quickly.

To each his own but I would think very few people would agree with you on this. Hershey is a better park overall but Great Adventure is way ahead of almost every other park in the country in the coaster department. The idea that Great Adventure needs a new coaster is insane. I'd love one but they don't need one. They've made some great improvements in the rides department in the last few years. What I'd love to see now is for them to take some time off from adding rides and just improve what they already have. Updated landscaping, new paint, stop closing rides early and get Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro to run together. I'd rather they spend a few years doing things like this with small additions like the Super Loop. Sure we'd be deprived (lol) in the coaster department but I guess I can make due with the tallest coaster in the world (and the fastest in North America), The #1 coaster in the world, a 7 looping B&M floorless, a super intense, snappy and awesome invert, an 80 MPH hypercoaster with floater air on every hill, 2 fun indoor coasters, a B&M flyer, a few other supporting coasters, a huge Safari, a great log flume, a 200+ foot sky screamer, the tallest drop tower in the world, the world's only operating double von roll skyride, the only parachute drop in America, a new looping flat ride and a ton of other supporting rides. Of all the things this park needs new rides (especially thrill rides) are at the bottom of the list. *I left Green Lantern out because it's a terrible coaster, but it's really the only bad coaster in the park.
