ok for me this is easy

Lighting Loops

being up in that heat no protection back and forth and back and forth and no rest because the train comes back in what 30 seconds

turn the tables

what was the worst ride you had to either attend or operate

I use to be a ride lead at the Music Express. Did it ever go backwards and forward? Dorney Park had one that went both directions. I know it could just like the trabant can go both directions, but have they ever done it?

Also one last comment about the music, at Dorney the loud speaker overrode the music but not at Great Adventure.

I have a funny map of the park back in I think 94. They had tons of cartoonish characters and just silly stuff on the map. Did they ever do it again, and why did they stop?

wife worked in bugs bunny land

all the good new rides were junk shame to say cool but junk

i blame the ride builder ( chance, intamin, huss ect) why buy a new ride and when its new the company should make the rides good

even though its cheap to buy a new enterprise or scrambler why dont they the lines are silly

the ones left are junk whats left carousel music express round up sky ride big wheel and a few water rides oh the teacups sorry

they need to fix this

the eruption and orbitor and other cool rides there are many

The music from The Right Stuff was the absolute best. I miss it.

BTW, the opening day I was there the sign for the moon landing had the wrong date. We contacted a supervisor and the next week it was changed- maybe others said something also.

You would have thought they would get that one right- they either had i think June 21 or June 29. Whatever it was it was wrong for a few days and we went back in 1 week and it was fixed.

he also had a cute tune about the coloring book

but the cats in the cradle was the best

i worked at the park in 1990 still have my operaters and attendents badge

means a lot to me

who sang a variety show in the theater near freefall in 1990

he sang a version of "cats in the cradle" with him acting out all the parts

baby, kid, college kid and dad

saw it dozens of times

btw those african acrobats were incredible

as a long time pass holder i myself dont smoke and i agree there should be no smoking in lines stores and restaurants but i dont agree that just walking thru the park smoking bothers anybody

i know you non smokers are going beat me up for this but get a life it was silly enough to ban it in kiddieland but the park is not enclosed the smoke goes away in the air

i am upset because i waited forever for a new wood coaster and stuff but my girlfriend wont go because she smokes not in lines

and no i cant go by myself with the kids

and no i cant find a new girlfriend either

and about the flat rides the park has none anything good has left and so what if after 15 - 20 years a rides breaks down (enterprise)then buy a new one and

replace it

what good rides are there

a few water rides fine

big wheel, swings , pirate ship, round up

whats left is really bad

and yea i missed a few but only a few
