Knoebels Discussion Thread
MisterBrow replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was posting more toward the idea that it is harder to be a paying customer. -
Crank up RCT! Select WhistleStop rides are moving to the Looney Tunes area. That’s a good idea. Maybe some interplay with the antique cars? This funnels the youngest from the main entrance to the right. _______________________________________________ Next, relocate the Bumper Cars and Rodeo to the former Whistlestop (Gotham Main Street?) The area is already level, turn the bumper cars up to Knoebels’ speed and those two fit nicely as intermediate rides. Batman and Robin Mobiles and BatCows? Then, good-bye Mind Eraser, the rapids are now the end of Coyote Creek. Move Penguin to where it connects CC to the waterpark at the former Rodeo location. This funnels the waterpark crowd from the main entrance and left. A waterpark only entrance would send swimmers to the second parking lot. Families with little ones and guests doing the whole park would park in the first lot. Extend the 3rd parking lot to a dry park only entrance between ROAR and Superman at Gotham Main Street. Easier access to night time events at the arena walking between four coasters. Goodbye Batwing. Hello the long awaited hybridization of ROAR. Renamed to connect FireBird to the Chesapeake area. The arena. No reason this area is not used daily: Concerts, movies, marching bands, Cheerleading, pro wrestling, tournaments, festivals, fan fests…

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
MisterBrow replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thinking about making Hershey our park next year. What is a good price for a season pass? -
I am only 10-15 miles away and certain times it isn't worth the traffic. For that matter, scrap ME and extend the water park all the way into Coyote Creek. That would also save money. Mind Eraser: stupid name with wild west theming. And when the RMC Roar finally happens and I am too old to ride it, it should have a name that fits the Chesapeake theme better than Firebird. LOL. ICE CRAB! Firebird's logo should have looked like an Oriole.
-
It also addresses that age old- there needs to be a path to Superman plea. Money saved on BW toward new trains on ME and then... RMC ROAR which creates a much better lay out. Until then Gotham to Mardi Gras is a good 2 hours of rides, walk with food, and sitting out the DC traffic when heading through.

I was also thinking Hershey for a year. I have not seen anything as cheap there as the SFA flash sale . Scrapping Batwing wouldn't be the worst thing; end that scorching death march to the back of the park only to find it broke. Put a parking lot and rear entrance (Who doesn't like a rear entrance?) back there and that would basically split the dry and wet park crowds. Field trip busses could also park back there by the picnic area.

Attempt 5 of the season to ride Harley Quinn as successful. I am not accustomed to this park being packed, I prefer the ghost town vibe and riding everything , lunch, snack and out in under 2 and a half hours. Three hours for HQ and a burger was extreme. Johnny Rocket's can be just as entertaining as the stunt show. One person cooking and one person taking orders, a rainbow of every color shirt manager just overwhelmed. At one point four managers and three workers. By the way, all of the attention to cleanliness has gone out the window now that COVID is apparently completely over. HQ holds 40 people and WTF every cycle had 20 of them wearing Crocs or slides storing and putting them back on and another 5 that got on the ride and then expect the op to take them off and store them like they be Cinderella. Slooooooooow loading. Vaping , pants down below boxers, wandering restricted areas, and way too much sloppy boob spillage on bikini tops in the dry park all on the rise. All that said, HQ is a nice addition and gives some interest to that area. Along with WW two solid adds . As far as what's next? New trains and name on Mind Eraser would be the best we could hope for.

We were there on Wednesday and would agree about the flier op that day. The pierogi booth was closed. I just stood there looking at. It was like that Christmas when I didn't get a pony. -
I made a 1 PM reservation for today. I figured a hot Saturday and after lunch would be worst possible time. No temperature checks and no metal detectors, enter the nice new entrance and one scan of my card with no line and I was inside. Quickest and easiest ever. I made my usual loop and was out by 3:30 including eating. WW was down when I was back there. A black cloud made me skip BW. Sanitizer at the entrance and exit of each ride. People were distanced and masked. All staff had their masks on correctly and the only people I really saw with their masks off were well away from others and moving with their group. As a society we need to nail down what you do with the mask when eating / drinking and walking. I was extra aware of not touching railings etc... and my face between sanitizing so I felt OK. Riding with a mask is weird. I did not see any cleaning of rides or tables which is area for improvement but, overall for this park, staff and patrons were about as good as they get.

Cesari's gets a boost in taste being in Knoebels like a hot dog does at a ball park. Tastes like being there. The good pierogis taste like what it feels like being there. I double fist the sour apple and apple cider slushes. Can't choose between them.
