Alright, so my sister wanted to go to Dorney, as it is her birthday, so I figured I should do a trip review about it. We got there at opening, and only stayed there about two hours, because EVERYTHING was walk-on, so we hit everything we wanted to by lunch. Anyway, this is my trip report:


Talon: First ride we rode on, it's no Raptor or Batman, but it was really fun. It also has much more air time than both Raptor or Batman. 7/10


Hydraa: Now this one was unique, and it was much different from the floor less coasters I've ridden before (can only say I rode two). 8/10


Demon Drop: I have to throw this in there. We've been going to Cedar Point since about 2007, so I've ridden this ride before, it is honestly the best thrill ride at that park. 11/10 (This review goes up to 11).


Thunderhawk: This is the oldest coaster I've ever ridden, now you may be thinking that this was rough like hell, but in NO way was it rough aside from jerking you around an occasional turn. This was insanely smooth for how old it is, and was really fun, but to short (but, given that it was built in 1923, I'm fine with it). 7/10


Steel Force: The largest coaster at Dorney. Now, I thought this was gonna be a unique clone of Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point, but I was wrong. It is much smoother, and I find it better than Magnum. Not the best ride there, but the best coaster. 9/10


Possesed: This is still fun, but it's kinda boring. The best part was when these LIMs held you at the top of the back hill for like a second, scared the living crap outta me. 6.5/10


Honestly, the park needs another roller coaster or two, and the park is very small. Hope you like the review, and please wish my sister happy birthday.

Great review of the coasters! I also think they need to build a new, big attraction. But you never know, they could be planning one for 2013. :)
