GAcoaster Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Wow, one of Cedar Fair's historic parks (besides CP and Knott's) embracing its history. Too bad they waited so long after most of the historic charm and character was ripped out of the park... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as letting park conditions and operations rapidly deteriorate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 "Classic" Dorney park operations were nothing to write home about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) There was a time Dorney dispatched coasters quicker and more efficiently than GADV at the time and kept order in their lazy rivers. Last ten years their dispatches have become ultra slow and highly inefficient. Moreover, it seems everyone's operations are declining and have been for years before COVID19, just Dorney's decline has been more substantial than others.

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Dorney just add a new home for Alfundo. Gutsy move when clowns are viewed so negatively. Photos from News Plus Notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think it's awesome to see them embrace some of their history. Too bad they ripped most of that history out of the park before this new nostalgia, but it's something at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Reconnoiter Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) I apologize for downloading a copy your photo of Flippers, I just want to borrow it to compare him with Alfundo The Clown on the other hand, downloaded the image of the old Alfundo head and want to compare it to the new version of the Alfundo costume. Like I explained to you, Great Adventure probably took the idea from Dorney Park's Alfundo the Clown to create Flippers.

Theme Park Reconnoiter Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) I apologize for downloading a copy your photo of Flippers, I just want to borrow it to point out to you, comparing Six Flags Great Adventure's Flippers with The older version of Alfundo The Clown alongside the newer version that I downloaded on Facebook from Dorney's Post. It's Like I explained to you, Great Adventure probably took the idea from Dorney Park's Alfundo the Clown to create Flippers.
