You betta reconize foo!

And guess what? The "park mechanic", who was probably some dude from Tech Services, was wrong.

*****in because you didn't get to ride the rides you've rode a million times before. On Adventures for Wish Kids day no less... Don't you have a bolt to go take a pic of?

Pure crazieness....Me(Aaron), Sarah, Amy, Lonnie, Chris, and Rachel After our spectacular visit last summer and with the introduction of Hydra, my friends and I just had to get back to Dorney this summer. So we did, along with a few other things. Monday was spent at Dorney where we rode Hydra and lots of other attractions. At first we weren't to impressed with the new B&M floorless but our evening rides soon changed our mind this this was one kick ass ride. Not quite as good as Talon but still a kick ass ride. So we conquer Dorney on Monday and decide to do something else. Don't want to go to SFGAdv, nothing else is real close. Hey, lets go to New York City! So we winged it in New York City on Tuesday and got by GREAT! Going there on our trip last summer really helped out on getting us around. Wednesday was supposed to be spent at Lakemont Park but nobody else has been to Knoebles so we stopped there while Chris and Rachel went straight to Lakemont. After leaving Knoebles I get a call from Chris saying Leap-the-Dips was closed for repairs. With Leap-the-Dips being our sole purpose for going to Lakemont we decide to go about 90 mph on Interstate 80 and try to make it to Geauga Lake before closing time. Just as nine oclock rolls around we pull into Geauga Lakes parking lot where we experienced walk on conditions for every ride in the park. After all was said and done, we had been to three parks and New York City in three days. Not to shabby eh? As always, here's the pics. Look for the "June Trip" album. By the way, there are LOTS of Hydra pics. Let me know what you think! Click here for the pics

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really do appreciate them. Now on to some of the questions that were asked... Joel, 1. Wonderlands Zamperela Flyer wasn't the worst ride I've been on. Nor was it by any means a great ride. The ride experience was bumpy and, at times, rough. Also, not once did I get the sensation of flying. The car you ride in is odd to say the least but I LOVE the lift and it seems to work very proficiently(sp?) too. The station is rather unique too because the cars never stop in the station while your loading. They only stop at the very end of the station while your waiting to get engage the lift. All in all, I'd say the Zamperela Flyer was a good idea but bad execution. Sad thing is, I'm told Wonderlands version is the smoothest of all the versions out there. 2. Their International Street isn't dead on similar but I did get the I Street "feeling". I believe the fountains have alot to do with this. Theirs seemed to be smaller as well. All in all though, it was definatley a Paramount I Street. 3. The amount and quality of the themeing seemed to be very similar to PKI's. A few spots here and there but nothing to write home about. Once all is said and done though, I'd give the nod to PKI. Standbyme, Wonderland against Kings Island? Wonderland is a very nice park with a pleasant atmosphere but it is by no means a PKI. PKI beats it in almost every aspect. However, comparing the two isn't very fair seeing how PKI is the flagship park of the chain. Having now experienced Wonderland and being 8 hours away, it's not a park I'd go out of the way for. If I was in the area? Of course. But it's not a park I'd plan a whole trip around. I have been to Dominion and would reccommend Dominion over Wonderland. However you say your looking for something different so maybe Wonderland is right up your alley? Seeing how Dominion is strikingly familar to PKI.

Not much of a trip report this time as I'm really not motivated to participate on the forums anymore due to the sheer stupidity of some people. However, there are some people out there who enjoy my pictures from my trips. Without further delay, here's the link for my pics... My Yahoo Picture Page Just click the Canadas Wonderland album and let me know what you think.

If you walk around the park, ecspecially around this time of the year, there are lots of white shirts "standing around and doing nothing." It's called training employees to drive you idiot. And because of idiotic people like so, I'm done with PKIC. The content of the boards has just become rather, well, stupid...Later folks

I agree with this guy right here... Star Wars Convention Video

Tear the darn thing out and SOB wouldn't be a problem now would it?

I don't know of any "players" that try to land dates on some pki website.

Worst TR ever...Try throwing some periods and commas in there man.

We weren't anywhere near 70,000 people today.

Ten bucks says we pressure spray it off during clean-up...

Other than the PKD peeps, has anyone else even been on FireFall to rate it?

In that case, my name is Lonnie and I work at the Xtreme Skyflyer.

Ha ha. I like that one...I just tell it like it is. I'm actually a nice guy. As long as your not stupid.

Ha ha...Yeah you still need a life.

Uh oh...The thread police are here. Get a life dude.

Can't say I do kong fu seeing how you really don't make any sense on here.

Hey "player" will you hang out with me?

Wrong... You'll never see a steel coaster at PKI run at 32 degrees. Wood coasters have a higher tolerance for cold weather but I'm not sure on what their temp range is.

I aim to please!

No I won't loosen up. I was fine until he started yapping about "they did this and they did that," when they didn't. I don't see one question in there other than "didn't they raise the brakes?" Which, by the way, as probably got to be the most assine thing I've ever read on here...When people actually know what they're talking about before making assumptions, then I'll "loosen up."

Many things have changed on Drop Zone. However, it was due to maintenance reasons and not just for hell of it.

Wrong, Wrong and uhmmm WRONG!...Please know what your talking about before you open up.
