Trip Report: SFNE, Hershey, Kings Dominion, BGW


Recommended Posts

shame you missed Woodstock Express at KD. . that was by far our fave woodie at the park, and a TON of airtime for a jr. coaster.

 

Yeah I agree, Woodstock express is INSANE

 

I thought about riding it, but I always feel awkward riding kiddie coasters lol. I've missed quite a few credits due to this awkwardness

Thanks for reading everyone, I had a great time visiting SFNE, Hershey, Kings Dominion, and Busch Gardens. Those of you who live in the mid-Atlantic region are extremely lucky to have so many great parks within driving distance. Back to California I go

 

Thanks for sharing your TR with us. Hershey and BGW are my two favorite overall parks and they have multiple coasters in my Top 10. Living in Vegas, I'm not able to get out East nearly as much as I would like, so I always enjoy reading about other people's experiences at these parks.

Seeing those Verbolten pictures really really made me nostalgic for this. Thanks for the great TR.

 

^ Me too. I'm probably in the minority that don't find Verbolten to be a good replacement. Among other things, I do find the rickety bridge and drop over the Rhine to be less than thrilling not only from a rider's perspective but also when viewing from the bridge. Maybe in another 15 years when the trees grow back it'll look a little bit better but something about those swinging black trains really amped me up and made it seem out of control!

Thanks for reading, Hershey, BGW, and CP are by far my favorite parks. Being from California myself, it's definitely difficult knowing my fave parks are 1000s of miles away.

Thanks for reading, I really wish I had a chance to ride Big Bad Wolf. I love Arrow suspendeds and I've always heard it was the best of the bunch.

 

Awesome report, some really good pictures. I'm planning a tentative trip in the spring to KD and BGW so this has me even more stoked to visit both parks.
Thanks man, I'm definitely envious that you get to ride i305 and Skyrush next spring!! They are amazing rides!!!

Really seems like they took away a classic, based on sentiment I've read the last few years.

I've never ridden one of these or the Sky Screamers, not enough fun to be absolutely terrified

Great report. It's always nice to see other people's views of some of my home parks. Sucks you couldn't make it to Carowinds, though.

Thank you!

 

Yeah and regarding Carowinds I keep kicking myself in disappointment, I wanted Fury baaaaaaaad! All I had to do was plan my trip a week earlier, I don't know what made me so certain Carowinds would be open daily this week. One day though!

 

I see you live in Maryland, you're so lucky that you're like 5 hours or less from so many great parks!!!
