Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom Discussion Thread

I feel like I should care but I just can't do it. Lol

 

Anybody else?

[Genx24]

^ Same. It's just a train. Let me know when they actually get a new ride.

[CoasterTony]

Sadly, it is the only thing to talk about.

I'm actually really excited for opening day! Also, DP is having a first rider on Thunder Hawk thing on Wednesday online. So basically you go to the season pass portal on the website a claim you want to be the first rider. If you get it, you get a package and will be one of the first rider's on Thunder Hawk's new trains!

Buzz bars and no seat belts would make me care.

 

But this? Not so much.

I'm pretty excited, the trains look beautiful and no headrests matters way more to me than no buzz bars. The headrests were terrible and posed a significant risk to your noggin.

Saw this bad boy up at the warehouse today.

For some strange reason Dorney felt it was necessary to add a bunch of their flat rides to Fast Lane.

^^^ beat me to it. Guess they are doing it for when coasters go down for weather or maintainance.

 

I know musik express can get a line out of the queue a lot. And I know road rally always has a line.

What is that? I'm inclined to say lift motor for Talon, but there's wheel assemblies on it.

It's a B&M track inspection car. It's motorized vehicle that can move slowly along the track, while staying in an upright position all the time.

 

You can see it in action here!

That's awesome! I had no clue something like that existed.

Does anyone find it weird that DP added fast lane to Cedar Creek Cannonball?

[coasterbill]

I find it weird that Dorney Park offers Fastlane

Well, Thunder Canyon and Whitewater Landing get long lines, so it's helpful there.

That is true normally in the summer time Thunder Canyon's line can get really long.

[YoshiFan]

On a weekend in the summer, it probably is really helpful in the water park especially at Aquablast where it can have a 45 minute wait even on a weekday.

looking at the new PTC trains. Curious, anyone know the difference between the articulating cars and standard cars?

I believe that the articulating trains are able to handle curves and twists better whereas the standard trains are more intended for out-and-back coasters or coaster with less twists.

One week till opening day!! Last night all the coaster lights were on including thunderhawk!!!

[ImNotOneOfYou]

Does opening day have a more crowded type of emptiness?

No

Dorney Park added the food truck to the dining plan. But the only thing on there is gourmet burger with signature fries.

Happy Dorney at least added something to the dining plan
