GeorgeM Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi, we are coming over for a 15 night road trip in August 2017, principally to visit Cedar Point and Six Flags Great Adventure. Flying into NY, we intend to spend 2 days visiting NYC, thereafter the plan is to drive to Niagara, take in Canada's Wonderland, then go onto Cedar Point, return to SF Great Adventure and head home. Any thoughts as to whether we should consider replacing the Wonderland/Niagara leg by taking in Dorney Park and Hersheypark instead?....or is Wonderland the better option? Thanks in advance for any feedback.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Good question... Hmm, if you look at Canada's Wonderland / Niagara Falls Area versus Dorney/Hershey... This is tough one as I'm not the biggest fan of the majority of those places! It's certainly a MUCH easier trip (mileage, border crossings, extra time, etc.) if you do Dorney/Hershey. Plus you could add Knoebels, or maybe just do Knoebels in place of Dorney! It seems to me that I would choose that. Leave Canada (and other parks that you can do easier with that itinerary) for another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 if you do Dorney/Hershey. Plus you could add Knoebels, or maybe just do Knoebels in place of Dorney! Seriously... do this. If you go to Dorney and not Knoebels then you're doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeM Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thank you both for your feedback; much appreciated. I had no knowledge of Knoebels or its whereabouts and shall definitely take the advice onboard. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparkes92 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Here is what I would do: Cedar Point Kennywood Hersheypark Knoebels Dorney Park Six Flags Great Adventure Possibly add one or more of the following (most of these are small parks with one or two major coasters): Conneaut Lake Park Idlewild DelGrosso's Lakemont Dutch Wonderland Morey's Piers Playland's Castaway Cove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUFCtheParrot Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Your plan sounds very similar to our upcoming holiday. From my research I have come up with the following plan; Fly to New York, Knobels, Cedar Point, Kennywood, Herseypark (as a slight preference to Dorney Park), Six Flags Great America, then Back to New York for a few days, which may include a ride out to Coney Island for the Cyclone. If you are also planning on going to Canadas wonderland, as a previous post I think this might be a distance to far for a short stay. Enjoy, wherever you end of going.
