LONG TRIP REPORT. PLEASE READ ALL.

Well I said I wasn't going to do a TR but I though why not? So here it is:

7/21:

I left my house around 10:30am to take the 8 hour drive to PA. We got there around 6:30pm. My uncle came and picked my Family up and my Aunts house in Harrisburg. We got to the park at about 8:00pm. All the sudden my stomach got tight. I had to sit down, and if I stood I would hurt like crazy.

My brother went to Ferhienhiet (sorry if thats the wrong spelling, but I'm tired). My mom took me to the First Aid place and they gave some crappy medicine that didn't work. So my Uncle and I went to ride the monorail.

It was nice and was relifing since theres no forces and you sit down. Then we went to the Skyview, which is a chairlift type thing. It was pretty fun and was relifing too. My brother called me twice while me and my Uncle were on it, trying to find us.

Finaly my Mom and Brother found us and we went to Chocolate world. We did the tour, ahh that felt good, and got our candy. The only thing they make that I like is Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers. I got some of them and they were tasty.

We left and went to the Capital Dinner. That place was good. I had some eggs and hash browns. I also tried Scrapple. It was pretty good actually. We went home and rested up for the next day.


7/22:

We woke up in the morning and there was a chance of storms and rain. We decided to go anyway. I will say there was rain the whole day. But it was good none-the-less.

First up was Sidewinder. That coaster rocked. Me and my Uncle rode it. WE got middle since it was a walk-on. The only problem with it is that its really loud in the station. The loop backwards is the best part. My brother got off SR and I rode Sidewinder agian, with him. No head banging except the cobra roll going backwards. It now my #3, 9/10!

Then we headed to Trailblazer. My mom rode it but I don't think she liked it too much. I got a on-ride vedio of it (my first!). I'll post it later with the pictures. 7/10, I think I like the Goldrusher better.

We did the cars with my mom, and I intentonaly (sp) slamed into the middle barrier alot.

Then we headed over to the SooperDooperLooper. That was pretty cool. Me and my uncle rode it while my brother did The Great Bear. The loop was pretty fun. The rest, well, It hurt my eyes with the rain and all. 8/10, Front FTW!

Next was Comet. Ughhh the wait. Atleast 50mins for this thing. Me and my brother rode it. They were only running one train on every coaster. We finally got on and in the back. That thing is pretty intense in the back. MASSIVE floater air. 9/10, but this ride was a 8/10.

Next we went to Wildcat. It was pretty good. I liked it alot, but it didn't make my top 5. It was really cold at the top of the hill, and really rainy which ment bad things for my eyes. But it was still fun. Millinuim Flyers are awsome. I can't imagine that without them. 8/10

Lightning Racers. Fist up was thunder. Awsome ride! The best part is when we were heading up the lift and you look over and see the track. We lost though. Then me and my brother went bac on lightning. We lost agian. But still fun. 9/10, my number #4.

We then headed back to SooperDooperLooper so my brother could ride it. He liked it alot. He rode it agian but it was too rainy for me.

Me and my Uncle did the Scrambler. 9/10 It is a fun flat ride. Then me and my Brother did the Flying Frotier, 9/10 which is another great flat ride.

We passed by something called the Resses Extreme Cup Challenge. Me and my brother went to see what it was. It was fun but not worth 25mins. wait. Me and my Brother won though :).

We started to head back to sidewinder, But a clap of Thunder roared above us. The rides closed. We all sat in this rock-n-roll show thing to wait it over. It finally passed and the rain left with it. The rest of the day was great with no rain.

We went back to sidewinder and my Brother and I rode it Twice. 9/10 agian.

We headed back to Comet. I wanted front seat, and my brother and Uncle wanted middle for some reason. So I had to wait a extra train but it was still good. this ride was maybe a 8/10 agian. We then did it agian. My brother rode back and I did front agian. We were on the same train luckly. As we were going up the lift I basicly undid my seatbelt. The lap bar is set to stay about 6" away from you also. I got the best airtime I have ever had. That was what gave it a respectable #5 slot out of 22 coasters. This ride was deffinetly a 9/10. The only thing to make it better would be if my brother had rode front with me.

Then we all did the Monorail and Skyview. We then did the kissing tower, and we did Trailblazer agian.

We hit up Choclate world agian. Did the tour, and I got some videos of te funky singing cows. I will post them later on also.

We left at 9:00pm and ate at Red Robin. It was very good.

Sidewinder x4, 9/10
Trailblazer x2, 7/10
SooperDooperLooper x2, 8/10

No Storm Runner OR Fahrenheit?
And no Hershey's chocolate?!

Shun the nonbeliever! SHUUUUN!


But good job on the no-seatbelt Comet job, it gives incredible floater airtime that way.

^I actually found Sidewinder to be pretty decent, but man did it screw my vision up. :lolo

Ok I read up to the part where you said Sidewinder was a 9/10.

If you think that, you must have not been on many coasters.

Even with the coasters he has been on, it shouldn't be a 9/10, or a top three. Hell, if I had only been on three coasters, it still wouldn't have been in my Top three, but to each his own I guess. And were Storm Runner and Farenheit closed the second day during the rain?

7/22:

We woke up in the morning and there was a chance of storms and rain. [The day lazor felt better to ride stuff... yadda yadda.]

My brother got off SR and I rode Sidewinder agian, with him. No head banging except the cobra roll going backwards. It now my #3, 9/10!


Definitely open, according to his bro. Storm Runner is one of the most insane launched coasters in the world. I can't believe you passed the opportunity.

^^^ & ^^^^ Sidewinder is a awsome ride. Sorry if you guys don't like it but personally I think it was great. It dosn't have any headbanging except for one little time at one spot.

I, personally, enjoy Sidewinder thank you very much.
...but really, not even the Great Bear? what's up with that?
TH, people like me who live in Hershey's Country don't have to get chocolate while they're at the park, I can get it anytime.

oh yeah, and Trailblazer is a joke.

Fastman, you could walk into any dollar store around here and get Hershey's chocolate. But, how do you go to Hersheypark and NOT eat chocolate? That's like going to Coney and not eating at the original Nathan's... that's the best thing there.

^I might have but my uncle didn't want too, and that made me back out for some reason.

^^My mom does say they taste better if you get them there.

^^^Yes, you can look at my TR of it and see my On-ride photo of it.

Great Trip Report.

SW is a forceful ride, but it can also give you a headache. Riding it with an empty train is the best.

Can't wait to see the pics!

That's like going to Cedar Point and riding blue streak 900 times. It's just a roller coaster; there should be no reason why you're pussing out.

^I don't understand anything you said. And I've been on a launch coaster before.

You guys act like SR and Ferhinhiet are the only coasters there.
