CoasterEricHP Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 To take a quick break from the Hersheypark nonsense taking place.. here's a Photo TR from my trip to Knoebels over the past weekend. WTF!!! That is some sexy hair there lady.. That wraps this up! Hope you enjoyed. Pretty... but wait.. we were waiting in line for the train and saw this!! ----> Nighttime! Great caption eh? No brass ring.. We had to beat up some kids to get the outside row. It's such a good coaster.. and there's a little ghost child that runs around! an empty station at the Phoenix.. The only thing better than the Flyers... Everyone has to do this.. I wasn't too thrilled about the clown guy after he was trying to steal my girlfriend. Why hello there.. Knoebel's has the best train ride.. you go into the middle of nowhere.. look at some fat squirrels, and come back! It's like a 10 minute ride! I like how this picture makes it look like we're going 50mph. Liz's driving = scariest ride in the park. The Phoenix was running great! Liz and I both agreed that 1.3 is indeed better than the last row. Crazy airtime ALL OVER THE PLACE though. It wasn't too bad except for a couple spots.. Our obligatory ride on Twister. Knoebel's food is so frickin' good and cheap! Hey look! Its the... middle.. of the park! Check out the old ladies checking out that old man! Damn baby! It fits in there quite nicely! There was a big hole after the first lift and before the track starts.. I wonder if they had an issue installing something and had to rip something out. Oh yeah! Flying Turns looks amazing! anddd here's Liz... and a dinosaur! So we went to the museum.. here's me. Fandango is a good ride. I never realized how LONG the ride cycles are at Knoebels. The first minute was fun, but three minutes later I wanted to vomit. Let's play "Create a caption!" yeah right! Wayyy too obvious. MMmm.. The Phoenix! My favorite wooden coaster.. Yeah Parking lot! It looked packed but the longest wait was.. 15 mins maybe for Fandango. Woohoo! We're here! The drive is only around 2 hours but my @$$ hurt so bad. I can only imagine what people are thinking when they go to Knoebels for the first time.. there's NOTHING around but mountains.
CycloneMan Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Great PTR. I expecially love this picture: -Dainan "You look fimiliar, did I meet you at Eastcoaster?" Rafferty
CoasterEricHP Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 No I haven't been to many enthusiasts events outside of a couple of small gatherings.. I worked at Universal and met a bunch of random TPR's though.. Maybe there?
Guest Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Nice Trip report Eric. That lady with the hair, thats actually considered normal out there, I think. I agree that row 3 is better than the back, but row 9 is where it's at for me! Quick questions kind of off topic, will you be down in FL again this winter/spring and that isn't the same girlfriend you had back when I met you with the infamous Ed while you were working on Dueling Dragins???
CoasterEricHP Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Lol.. Ed! Whatever happened to him? Man that was years ago! I dont think I was seeing anyone when I met you guys. I think Ed was talking to my one friend Lisa who also worked at dragons (who was also a coaster enthusiast) and assumed we were together.. Edit - I didn't answer your question.. I'm back in Pennsylvania for good. I was back at Dragons (and Sky Trolley.. how embarrassing) and was a lead until May and moved back up here to finish school.

I just went out to the Dells and Indiana Beach with him recently. I might actually be moving to Hershey in June or July of next summer, to a place called "Briacrest Gardens" about 5 minutes from HP. You can be our first "neighbor"
CoasterEricHP Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Wow.. when I was moving back from FL after I met you the plan *was* to move to Briarcrest Gardens with a few of my friends! Obviously the plan failed.. haha. That'd be awesome though. Let me know if you move there and we'll start planning some road trips...
ebl Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I need to get to Knoebels... Great photo TR, Eric. Eric (too!)
