I love that place. This my home park. Some things to def. ride:

Hydra, Talon, Laser, and Steel Force. Also look for track in one of the parking lots. There are rumors flying like crazy and Dorney is supposed to get Steel Venom from GL.

Dorney is a small park but it is a fun park. More of the thrill rides are spread all around the park. A few at the top and a few at the bottom. The newer rides are near the top.

You should ride Thunder Hawk while your there BUT, there are lots of trims on it and it will throw you for a loop. Have a great time and do try to find out about that rumor.

Today was our trip to Dorney Park. It was very fun. I got on the Wild Mouse coaster, and ThunderHawk, the rest were too big. Sorry that I didnt bring a camera, I caught some footage on my phone but cant get it onto my computer.

@ Coasterfan: there was no track in the parking lot, atleast that I could see.

How were they too big? Over 90 feet is too big. Please. What school do you go to? If its Easton, I am gonna be pissed.

You really didn't go on them because they're too big? Then how'd you manage to get so into coasters if you won't go on anything bigger then 90 ft?

X2 ??? Intimidator 305 ??? Millennium Force ??? Iron Rattler ??? El Toro ??? Fury 325 ??? Maverick ??? Skyrush ??? Twisted Timbers ??? Voyage

The longest I ever waited for Talon or Hydra was 10 minutes. Steel Force was close to an hour but that was at night when the line always gets long.
