Well dorney is a small ceder fair park, but it still has some pretty awesome rides. This will just be a small, quick review...of all 5 of them XP.
In order from best to worst:
1)Talon: Ok, first let me just say, wow...this is probally one of the most fun and intence inverts that i've been on. from the smooth ride to the 2 high G turns to the super fast inversions, this coaster packs a punch from beggining to end. This may sound weird, but even though riding in the front is fun, riding in the back is definatly funner. it just gives the ride an extra kick.Talon definatly has a spot in my book, and most can agree, one of the best inverts out there. 9.5/10 (ridden 6 times)
2)Voodoo, Possesed, or whatever you wanna call it XD: This intamin double spike invert launcher opened just last season as voodoo, than a season later, re-opened as Possesed. Ok....why the name change? i mean, its not a big deal at all, im just wondering...why? Sigh....looks like ceder fair will always be indesisive forever...(just a joke, ceder fair freaks. no need to flame me :p) anyway. the ride itself. i can honestly say i had no idea what to expect from a ride like this, but after my first ride...wow. it delivered. it isnt so much scary, but it is a very, very fun ride. and i LOVE the way they hold you on the last time up the spike for a second, really adds to the ride. personal preference, ride in front. and congrats to intamin for an awesome compact ride. 9/10 (ridden 4 times)
3)Steel Force: One of the first hypers made, its a classic. and i love it. the slow chainlift really builds anticipation, the drop into the tunnle, the long, long, high G turns, and the bunny hops that pack in TONS of airtime. but in order to get the full expieriance, ride in the back. you'll get wipped right over the first drop, you'll get a little more Gs on the turns. and you'll get A LOT more airtime on the bunny hills. all in all, this coaster shows that the classics dont have to be boaring, they can also be, as in Steel Forces case, amazing. 8/10 (ridden 4 times)
4)Hydra: So you are all probaly thinking, "Why is Hydra, a B&M, so near the bottom of the list?" well let me answer u: Its as bumpy as HELL! i mean, your head is constantly banging againts the headrest and the shoulder harnesses so much, you'd think you were in a blender! i dunno, maybe it was havin a bad day, but i really doubt it. plus, it really isnt that fun. and its too quick. ok, the jolly roll in the beggining is cool, but the rest is bumpy and over to fast. last time i was at dorney, i loved Hydra, but now, im not so sure. 7/10 (ridden twice) [ps: ride in front]
5)Thunderhawk: We all knew this would be at the bottom, so no suprises here. its bumpy. very bumpy. NEVER RIDE IN BACK! ride as close to the front as possible to avoid bumpyness. actually, when i rode in the back to see what it was like, i think i almost got wiplash lol. but honestly, it is a fun ride. perfect for smaller kids as an entry level coaster. but for bigger people, i think the bumpyness of the ride cancles out most of the fun. 6.5/10
(ridden three times)
the park in general is really, really nice. The employees are also nice, and its a great place to be in. There are plenty of great flat rides to ride, and going there is a really nice expieriance for a small park. all in all, great time.
(sorry, no pics. but i figure you could find them on the internet pretty easily XP)
