Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom Discussion Thread

Looking at that area, that would make the most sense for the expansion. CCF is all by itself and if they could expand and make that path lead somewhere would be nice.

Flyers like that deserve to be isolated.

 

Other than that though, I would love it if they made a loop back there that connects where DA is now.

I would love to see an expansion connecting ccf and steel force. Add a few more shops and restaurants down in that area.

 

The park also owns all the houses along Hanes Mill Road, back by the wave pool. That is also prime location for expansion.

Ok this I fully agree with! Those were the worst flyers I have ever been on. Even worse then KI!

You know right behind CCF, there is a narrow plot of land. That land is big enough to fit a Zamperla Disko like Pipe Scream at CP

I'd put that right next to ccf and across from Stinger. That patch of land is wonderful and would bring people down that way

[SteelForceless]

Can someone create a map of the undeveloped land that Dorney owns? I would do it, but I'm out of town atm and know where I would find the information.

That's the land I was talking about.

[Coaster19]

That would be perfect. And then when ever Dinos leave there could easily be a coaster back there

I believe this is the area they are talking about.

 

Aaa Anand the picture doesn't appear to have uploaded

Sorry!

[DorneyKid14]

Here is the land we are talking about

[Jcoaster]

Wow, seeing it from an ariel persepective is crazy. So much land back there, hopefully irs put to good use....One day.

[I Like Theme Parks.]

Even if Dinosaurs Alive stayed, they'd still have enough room. But they could really go crazy if they had that whole area. (Which they probably won't try).

[Iby coaster]

They have land even next to Dinosaurs Alive way back there. So if they were to remove Dinosaurs Alive and use it and some of the forest back there (because you don't want a lot of trees taken out) that would be a great coaster you got there.

[Jcoaster]

Its crazy to think how much relevance a solid new coaster would bring back to the amusement side of the park.

[SteelForceless]

I didn't realize how much land the dinosaurs were hiding! Even with them, there's still land to build. Hopefully they will be taken down soon and by 2018 they will make good use of the land - hopefully something with ejector airtime.

Say what you want about CCF, but I have to say since I live 10 minutes from them, I've ridden them a /lot/ (I /really/ like flyers) and they are fun. You can get a few decent snaps in before the cycle ends your fun (as I've said what, 5, 10 times now?)

 

If you manage to snap CCF you can practically destroy any flyers at any park. Give it a shot, seriously. Your flyers skills will thank you.

It's my understanding that the neighboring apartments/old folks home would battle any plans to stick something good (See: loud) back there. I wouldn't expect anything major to be squeezed in there.

[Jcoaster]

Well it isn't impossible to put something good and quiet back there, look at Talon. It's amazing, its almost silent..

[coasterbill]

Dorney fans are delusional. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. "Something with ejector airtime", if you want ejector airtime close to Dorney I suggest you get in the car and gun it over a few hills on the way to Knoebels. That way maybe you won't have to wait until you get to the Phoenix to experience actual airtime.

 

Reports from Dorney yesterday pointed to people parking in the grass lot and "insane" crowds but this was the line for Talon in the middle of the day despite them filling the overflow lot on an overcast (so not obvious water park) day. Coasters aren't the major draw no matter how much you want them to be.

[Genx24]

^People actually waiting in Talon's air gates? Looks pretty insane to me.

[coasterbill]

Excuse me, they're not air gates. They're ridiculously stupid, inefficient, moronic, pain in the ass magnetic gates. If they were air gates that would make sense.

[Genx24]

Totally forgot they are magnetic gates, and I was just there last week. What the hell is the point of those anyway? Why should I have to push the gate open myself? No one goes to an amusement park to do physical activity.

[SteelForceless]

The magnetic gates suck. They should really put in air gates. Put them in rows 1, 2, maybe 3, and 8 (since no one uses rows 4-7) and they'll be good to go.

[Iby coaster]

I think air gates should be used on all the B&M so the operations will go faster. Ohhh.. they probably wont but at least people enter right away

[Coaster19]

It is very obvious that the waterpark is the big draw. The amusement side is sadly not bring any interest, even on "insanely crowed days", half the coasters are walk on.

 

Also I don't get those magnetic gates. This is the only park that I was so confused as what to do. Those need to go.

 

I feel for Dorney because in my thinking is it did not jump to the expansion idea quick enough and Hershey, Knoebels, and SFGA all beat Dorney to the punch. Now Dorney is this smaller middle man. I don't know, just spit balling.
