Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom Discussion Thread

I really like the name AND the logo.

 

As for a personal wish, I think black track with neon-orange supports would look sick.

They officially announced it today! The only thing bugging me is they don't say what the color scheme is. I guess we will just have to wait.

An update, more track has arrived at Dorney and it's bright yellow. Also a construction update

here.

This ride would look so good with burgundy/red supports, I'm hoping they go with that. Thans for the update!

[holyblakbelt]

I'm glad Voodoo's track isn't solid yellow! I think yellow is a stereotype color for Intamin Impulses, but that red would look good on the coaster. Voodoo is going to be a good fit for Dorney next year.

Um, the red is from S:UE. It is yellow...

[Loco]

Funny how yellow and red seems to be typical colors for intamins.

[AT0527]

Im sick of seeing impulse's being yellow. Dang..can't we come up with a different color?

[youthink?]

A dark blue would look nice on this coaster. Oh well it's an Impulse so guaranteed fun!

[yankees15]

I really want to get out to Dorney soon so I can see the track in person. It looks like construction is coming along well though. Also, I hope that The supports are purple so it can look somewhat like Medusa.

[coasterbilly]

yeah just thought I'd add because I went to the park last saturday for the last weekend of operation and no new track has arrived, I too was surprised to see the yellow. I hope the supports are different from other impulses, thought the ride would be a dark color because of the name and logo, but hey, as stated earlier Impulses are fun so it's fine!

went to dorney park about a little over a week ago. had a few footers in place, and a few pieces of track just laying there. cant' wait to see the finished product!

I like the page and logo. This ride will be a very nice fit for Dorney Park.

[Johnny Upsidedown]

Hope they have new photo updates often. The large logo is pretty awesome looking. I like the way the graphics have been put together.

Would like to see some photos of track and current work other than a few photos of dirt. Although thats all part of the construction and I am guilty of a few pile of dirt shots as it is. I know Newsplusnotes or maybe it was some where else that had a few photos of the new yellow track, so anybody else come across any other photos.

This would be so much cooler if the track wasn't that ugly impulse yellow. I know color doesn't really matter all that much, but it would have looked awesome with dark blue track and red supports!

[NewsPlusNotes]

Here are some.

 

And here are some.

[King of Ka]

Ahhhh. So it will be multicolored. Not as bad, although I still wish they had gone without the yellow.

[Johnny Upsidedown]

Thanks, Mike. I had not seen the ones on the flicker site, I had seen your update with the photos from mid October.

Ok so MIA,CWL & now DP each have a construction page for their new for 2008 rides on their respective official websites so why doesn't KD have one yet for Dominator?

[Johnny Upsidedown]

^ My guess or my hope would be that since the ride was so recently announced that they just haven't gotten around to getting a web page put together. Plus I would imagine that there is minimal work happening on the work site.

 

Hope to see some new Voodoo stuff soon although it will be a short construction time line due to the size of the coaster.

Tons of new photos up from yesterdays update and blog report. Lots of track close ups and a look at the color of the seat frames.

[DarkStitch626]

Does anyone notice the colors on the trains are the exact colors of Hang Time, the parks top spin?

[yankees15]

I drove by the park yesterday when I picked up my Cedar Fair wind breaker. I only got a quick look but, it appeared that one of the track sections to the twist was there and it was still red.

[Johnny Upsidedown]

Another batch of photos have been posted to Dorney's website.

More track painting and ground work being done.
