I'd do SFNE and Lake Compounce in the same day, and head to Hershey on the 20th. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

A gentleman behind me in line for Kingda Ka yesterday, looking at Zumanjaro: "Wow! The evacuation ladder for this ride is huge!" -
What is the world's best amusement park ever?
Genx24 replied to coaster57's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't know about "world's best", but my favourite park will always be WDW's Magic Kingdom. The park's cultural and historical significance always impressed me, and it is the park I most look forward too every time I visit Walt Disney World. I can't wait to go back in November. -
FYI, Green Lantern's single rider line doesn't begin until you're about halfway through the normal queue, so it really doesn't offer much relief from the stand-by line. Edit: Just remembered that Zumanjaro's SRL isn't very helpful, either. There were a couple of times last year where I waited at least an hour in the stand-by line, and still boarded before people waiting in the much shorter single rider line. I wish GAdv had more, and better SRL's, because they were a life (and time) saver for me when I visited Magic Mountain

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Overheard today at Coney Island, regarding the Cyclone: "Oh my God, it sounds like it's gonna collapse!" -
Awesome report my friend. As Jcoaster mentioned, I accompanied him to Coney this evening, and I have similar thoughts about Thunderbolt. It must be a front seat ride because it was beautiful compared to the nightmare ride I had last summer. Smooth through the inversions, no headbanging, and crazy scary ejector air. Not a bad coaster to have 20 mins away from my front door.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Coney Island Cyclone this afternoon. Still a hell of a thrill. -
Never let it be said that hockey players aren't the toughest SOB's in sports. Ryan McDonagh of the Rangers was playing with a broken foot, and there are reports that Marc Staal, also of NYR, was skating with a broken ankle. If I broke my foot/ankle I wouldn't get out of bed, and these guys were still going to work night in and out. That's dedication.

As Jcoaster mentioned, we paid a visit to the park yesterday and were very pleased. I like Dorney a lot, and I don't understand why the rides park is basically shunned by the GP, but it makes for a great day of riding. I'm glad I was able to finally ride Stinger, and was pleasantly surprised. I think this is my favourite type of Vekoma boomerang. Rode once in the front, facing out, and once towards the back, facing other riders. Rode much smoother than I would have expected, and was real forceful through the inversions. 8/10 Don't have much to say about the other coasters, other than that they should take the trim off Thunderhawk, and that I love Talon and was reminded why it's one of my favourite coasters, and probably my favourite invert.
