Ccron10 Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Since today is kind of a slow day for me, I guess I should work on posting some trip reports that have been collecting dust on my computer. Dorney Park 5/9/10 My Physics class at school was holding a Physics Day at Dorney and since I couldn’t say no to a park visit, I ended up going. After waiting ½ hour for the ropes to drop, we walk-on to Hydra (our experiment coaster). While it wasn’t the best B&M I’ve been on, it still was a relaxing ride. My group then rode Enterprise then followed by Thunderhawk which gave a slightly smoother ride than last time, but was still horrible in the turns. Talon on the other hand rode pretty nice that day with either a walk-on up to a 10 minute wait. Following Talon, our class had a catered lunch with burgers, chips and ice cream cups which was great. From here I wanted to go at my own pace so I broke away from my group and decided to go ride Steel Force and becides the part of some girl thinking it would be great to take her camera on with her and having to stop the ride, it rode good, but it lacked some airtime. I next rode Talon again then took some pictures of Demon Drop being built. Our class left at this time so it was a short but sweet day. I wish I got a chance to ride Possessed, but since it was closed, I had to wait until later in the season. This was the best visit I had to Dorney and I was hoping for the same thing for my next visit later in the summer, but unfortunately it didn’t go as planned which I’ll get to later. The sun raises over Dorney Park as it starts to open for the day. Hydra's cobra roll says hello! Don't worry, this was only a one or two train wait! Demon Drop's construction could be viewed throughout the park. There has to be a rule somewhere stating that you MUST have this photo in your trip report. Testing or invisible riders, you decide... Later in the day it had a 10 to 15 minute wait with 2 trains. Do they ever use all 3 at one time anymore? Something is missing... Almost. Sorry folks! Almost wanted to get squishy wet shoes for this one, but decided to wait later in the season. The train to nowhere. I know that the route used to be longer, but it has to be the most pointless ride at the park. It never has a line and plus there's nothing to see on it! Rode Hydra again later in the day with a small wait. Did anyone know about the red dots on the spine of the track? I like Hydra's Station because of the style of it's roof and how open it is. Mmm... twisty. Through the trees. Thunder Creek Mountain is closed.... For the construction of this thing. I will post my opinion of the ride later. More soon!
