CycloneMan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 We were originally going to do an overnight stay and do the Dorney tour on Friday, but the weather kept us back, so we decided to do a one day trip to Eastcoaster on Saturday! The day started with my mom and I leaving NY at around 6:15am and meeting a couple of friends for breakfast in Fogelsviller PA, at Cracker Barrel before heading off to Eastcoaster. While there, we found are other friends and sat with them. Now we were ready to start. Overall, this was the worst Eastcoaster ever! But at the same time, the people we were with, were so awesome, and made it the best! I swear, it was like Rocky Horror meets Eastcoaster! Photos Breakfast with Tom, Carl, Jeff, AJ, Me, and my mom (behind the camera). This was the cool stuff we got at our tables! Cliff opens the event like every year! All the parks that were there! Cedar Fail...er...Fair went up first! Um...what? Do you see that? We sure did the whole day! Nothing would barely work properly! Dorney Park is now doing Holloween Haunt, with more stalking corn than ever! So here's the story. One new attraction will be "Club Blood" and it will be "edgie." Up there, it says "Exotic Dancers" so we went up and were all a little confused and asked what that was all about and he said something along the lines of, "Yea, we know! We are going to be very edgie this year. We are going to have girls in cages asking for crack pipes and needles!" HAHAHA! What!?!? Yea...felt like that needed to be shared Hersheypark showed Celsius...err Fahrenheit During the first break, I hung out with my friend Bill, and we just goofed around with our cameras! Truelly, the best presentation was from Six Flags Great Adventure. dunna nunna nunna nunna nunna nunna BATMAN! This is what they had to show, as well as Glow In The Park Parade! Some cool shizz! They even did some trivia! I won a pen. Mom won a shirt. DelGrosso's showed off there future plans and achivements. Though they still don't know what they're going to do with the Arrow Loop and Double Corkscrew coaster. Gravy Buffet! Nah, it was "Dinner Styled", pass it around guys! Here's Tom (PCman), I wish I would have gotten a picture of our apetizer...Tomato Juice! My mom, Colleen and I. Getting goofy with Great Adventure Morey's Piers, was happy to be there! These are the new trains that will open on the Great Nor' Easter! Supposably, these will get rid of all the pain that all SLC's have to offer. They are also introudicing "Magic Bikes" (I want one!) As well as Cygnus X-1 And this is the current layout for there new coaster for 2010! Then Waldameer presented Not everyone was thrilled! So yea...they are finally building this thang called something... Ravine Flyer II, there we go! It looks good! GCI was next up! Eviel Kenievel is an exact clone of Thunderbird! The trains look cool, but not like Troy's The lineup of refurbishments. They did say that the Trick-Track on Boulder Dash, will be removed for a bunny hop Next up was Door Prizes! I got this snazzy hat! Tom also got a snazzy hat and flip flops (okay...so those came with MY hat, but they looked better for his picture!) Save Coney Island Plans that will never happen, yada yada yada, moving on Coastin' Steve was representing my favorite park, Knoebels! No official date on the opening of the Flying Turns still! PTC next up! Tom Rebbie, claims this is him! The way to kill a happy mood, here is a picture of the burnt down Ball Room at Conneaut Lake Park. Okay, so here's the awesome story! This is the Chiller Safety Sign that I, as well as Dan Brookwell had our hearts on at bidding. But we were fighting for it. So the bid went smoothly to about $100 and then it was just me and Dan! (By the way, Dan is a good friend of mine, and I work for him on Thrill-Pics.com), I ended up losing to him at $465! That's correct, we went that high! A bunch of people wanted us to take a picture showing our true feelings! It should be in the next ACE Newsletter! hehe But, I won this lapbar from Thunderhawk for $65. Nobody wanted to bid against me becuase they figured I was ruthless, and I got the lapbar for a bargain pretty much! I'm currently using it as the railing for my bed! I will end this report with a yearly photo of me and Peg, her and Colleen Whyte are the people who got me into ACE over 10 years ago! It was definately a great day! Thanks everyone for making this a unique day! -Dainan "It definately was a humorous day!" Rafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Evel Kinevel will be a clone of Thunderbird at Power Park, not Troy. Great photos though. It sounds like there will be tons of new things to do at parks in 2008. I am also glad to hear that Morrie's Pier will be adding a GCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim S. Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If it rides as good as it looks, Morey's probably has "best new coaster of 2010" already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryH Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Great photos! Where will the 2010 coaster go at Morey's Piers? I wonder what GCII will do with Cheetah. Anything would be an improvement in this hellishly rough ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 From the looks of the piers, I'd say Morey Pier and Hunt's Pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafett Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Morey's looks like it has a great coaster on its hands. With the addition of this new coaster, maybe they will give some love to the former Hunt's Pier. Right now it just has some go-karts tracks on it and behind the Golden Nugget the store old ride parts and other things. I hope to see this happen. Great report and pics!
