Dorney Park Advice

[Coasters 4 ever]

I'm going to Dorney Park in June for my birthday and I need some information.

 

1) How long are the wait times for the major attractions(Talon, Steel Force, etc.)?

 

2) Rate each ride on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest.

 

Thanks.

The last time I was there wait times weren't too bad. Talon was about a 45 minute wait and Steel Force was about a 30 minute wait.

 

Steel Force- 10

Talon- 9

ThunderHawk- 10

 

I have been there 5 times so far and I still haven't been on Laser though because everytime the wait time for it seems too long. The last time I was there Laser had a 1 hour and 20 minute wait and I had noticed that the line for Steel Force was only about 30 minutes so I skipped Laser.

When did you go? I'm going around the end of June.

Check Ted's site, see if he has anything yet about Dorney.

 

As a rule of thumb though, don't go on a Saturday, and be sure to check for special events when you're there.

 

Hydra and Talon are the newest rides and will most likely have the longest lines.

I did, but I don't believe a site that says Dueling Dragon's average wait is about 3 minutes.

[SharkTums]

That's why he needs more people to input the wait times...although come to think of it, my 'average' wait time for Dragons is probably about 3 minutes!

Unfortunately, it looks like people aren't being completely honest when filling out the wait time info, Hydra is already listed with having a short wait time when it of course hasn't even opened yet.

I can only really offer the same advice that is mentioned over and over. Avoid Saturdays, and the Come EARLY!

 

// Thanks for the plug, Elissa. I need input. More input.

Best time to go in June - Fathers Day - the place is deserted. No lines, most of the day Talon and Steel Force are a walkon. (I'm going on Mothers Day (totally deserted) to ride Hydra).

 

Sunday is much better than Saturday (there never seem to be camp/school/church trips on Sundays).
