So I'm late, Whateve.
So here is the entrance to Mini-CP.

Very nice main midway. I love to look at carousels. And just like CP, there is a B&M Invert right on the midway!


I love these things, but I don't like paying $5 for it. They need one of the big ones. This size should only be at small parks and FECs.

This park has lots of flats. So many around the midway too.


But this was the first thing I was gonna ride today. Talon is Yummy!

Their mouse was rather sick, in the good way. Too bad the morning was so overcast.

Pilgrim's Plunge WISHES it's splash was this big. All the other Shoot the Chutes point and laugh at it. It wishes it wasn't so impotent.

Hmmm...What kind of B&M goodness lies over here?

Why, hello Hydra the Revenge. You look very Revengy today.

I was lead to believe that I probably wouldn't like Hydra. I actually really loved it. The JoJo roll (Bubba Roll) is the poop.

I just love how they shoehorn all the rides in. And how easy it was for CFEC to take over. Did you know that Cedar Creek ran thru Dorney BEFORE CF took over?

I see you staring down and taunting me, Dominator. But I have some news for you: I'm not afraid of S&S towers. Intamin, those scare me. You? I just enjoy you. And I bet you hate that I enjoy you, don't you? Because you can't dominate me like you want to. Neither side of you. Nya.

Wanted to ride Thunderhawk but it was down. It opened later, and it sucked.

I love this part of the park. All parks need this kind of midway with trees and old wooden coasters (especially non-neutered Schmecks, which Dorney can't claim to have) at their park.

So next up was...

I was not impressed. The Magnum seat provided a decent ride, but it really wasn't that great. I was told that it wasn't running well. All those hills look like airtime. Sadly, they were not.

Later at nite I'd finally get up the nerve to see if I could fit on this. Well, as soon as the light went green for me to fit, the op realized someone had puked, so I didn't get my ride. BOO!

Next up, let's get Possessed by some Voodoo.

Love the sign. And the fact that Banshee is too demonic, but Possessed (and even VooDoo) with skulls and snakes is A-Okay!

Love these rides.

Love the wheel on the hill. Too bad when I did get to ride, my batteries in the camera died.

Any park with 2 merry go rounds, even if I don't ride them, is a good park to me.

Woah, where'd Knott's Berry Farm come from?

See? Totally different park, but green coaster track in the back ground.

So I rode both trains.

And Hydra again.

And their log flume was great!

Swans like Dorney Park.

That brake is evil, but oh so good.

And in case you didn't notice, the sky cleared up, but my batteries died.

So I got my reride on, ate lunch at Gameday Grill, stopped by the rapids to talk to Dan, a ride op I know, then took a nap on a park bench until Matt, then eventually Kevin and Emily showed up. Then Dan got off work and we all rode some rides. Dorney was a very nice park. And as you may have heard, I was there pretty much open to close. NEVER AGAIN. The coasters are nice, but Steel Force was definitely Forceless, and Thunderhawk was bla. I didn't get "the nameless coaster" (Formerly Little Laser), but I did get everything else. The Dragon coaster Kills.
