Only thing that could make this better would be if Steel Force's train was visible:

There were 2 in the main shop, I didn't check the price:

Dude, I want to go there really bad. I have that Cedar Fair max pass thing that lets you go to all the Cedar fair places. I am going to CP on the 17th and just maybe KI. I can probably get my Mom to let me go the Dorney too.

BTW, Cool shirt.

SCREW THE WORLD!!!

The coasters here are sick. Talon looks like it has potential to be one of the best inverts ever. Possessed looks so much better then other impulse coasters. Hydra is pretty fun and the jo-jo is awesome. Thunderhawk, ehh kinda a dissapointment but it's ok I guess, steel force is good but not top 5 worthy. The park is pretty cool also.

I agree with the Thunderass call, it kinda sucks...I might get there this year but it is doubtful...

It's unfortunate for Dorney that Great Adventure is right there, because once you go to GAdv, Dorney looks like shit.

I will agree with you on Talon and that is probably it. I am tempted to say that it may be my favorite invert also. Steel force just blows, Hydra is alright (I remember a good amount of vibrating), and Thunderhawk is a bro. If you take off your seatbelt in the front seat of Thunderhawk, you could easily kill yourself. It's that badass.

Glad to see you had fun though, I remember the years where I went to Dorney 10-15 times a season...

^Although I havn't ridden WT, I say Possessed might be the best because it holds you vertical and WT doesn't. Although I can't really say anything.

^^Yeah, I sat in front and when I realized the trains were like Comet I thought "Awesome, I'm gonna get airtime. I'm gonna loosen my seatbelt". Not a good idea. Hydra shakes like hell in the front. But it's not to bad in the back. How far into NJ is Great Adventure?

Wicked Twister is better but not much. All the twisted impulse coasters (minus WT and V2 at SFDK) are relatively the same, Possessed really isn't anything special. V2 might actually be the best impulse coaster.

WT in the back is amazing. Spiraling down is just sick, twisting so fast. I've ridden Steel Venom at Geauga Lake, and it's not as good as WT.
