coliwood_studios Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Had a great day at Dorney Park last week, and got on a lot of rides. The crowds were very light and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately, Hydra closed mid-day and didn’t reopen. In the one front row ride I managed to get on Hydra, I had a very rough ride, and I don’t know if it became rough over the off season, or if it just had bad wheels. Thunderhawk was also closed due to retracking, but we did catch some test runs from it! I decided to take a ride on Monster which ended up being a huge mistake. I felt so nauseous on that ride as the cycle was too long, and I never feel sick on rides. Demon Drop was actually open and I got a few rides on it for my first time. It was easily the most intense drop tower I’ve ever ridden, and maybe even the most intense ride at Dorney. It still absolutely hate their no re-ride policy, and if that didn’t exist, I would’ve gotten so many more rides on the coasters. That policy majorly impacts my experience at Dorney in a negative way, and I hope that policy is repealed soon. We also spotted some reminiscence of Stinger in the form of T-Shirts, magnets, candy, and actually a sign pointing towards Stinger Dorney forgot to take down. Here was my ride count for the day: Talon 4x, Hydra 1x, Possessed 2x, Steel Force 4x, Demon Drop 3x, Monster 1x, Kaleidoscope 1x, Cedar Creek Flyers 1x Me: 17 Rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I feel like 1 of Hydra's train is worse than the other. One vibrates and rattles more throughout the ride. I also agree about the re-ride policy, it's annoying and I appreciate that Great Adventure allows re-rides since it saves so much time from having to walk through empty queues.

The Master Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 The no ride policy at Dorney is asinine. GADV is not always consistent with allowing rerides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper26 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I was able to get 5 rides on Steel Force without getting back in line on Saturday. Most ride ops don't allow rerides but there are a few that don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
