YoungStud Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 @ dorney was the first time I had ever seen security guards up in look out towers in ques before. I can't remember if they have metal detectors there or not. I would not feel safe if they werent there on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Dorney Park is also the park where I watched my new 1992 Nissan Maxima SE get broken into while I was on the SkyRide. I quickly ran to my car after exiting the ride, to find it unlocked, no visible sign of entry and nothing missing! The parking lot has very visible security because it needs it. To be fair, the Northeast is not the Midwest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Wow, I didn't realize that Dorney was such a…. a ….. Snake Pit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 It isn't. Just be aware one must be far more aware of one's surroundings and personal security in the Northeast than in most of the Midwest. There are areas of the Cinci metro where similar caution is prudent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Steel Force is an excellent ride. Not a B&M. Not an INTAMIN. Talon is also excellent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ah Steel Venom, Posessed, ect multi personality disorder...Loved that ride at Geauga Lake. It's one of the few impulse shuttle coasters I like, the hold brake on the back spire is just loads of fun in the very back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBEW_Sparky Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have Loved Mamba since I was one of the first riders in 1998, I am definitely looking forward to how Steel Force rides in comparison! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyk Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 steel force is more aimed at speed than airtime. it is a nice ride but only has some floater at the bunny hops near the end and the first hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Huh? You obviously have not ridden it when the midcourse brake is not on, and probably have not ridden it in the back seat of a car, preferably of the first car. It spent a summer as my favorite steel coaster, and I'm all about strong airtime and laterals. I love Steel Force still. Steel Force is capable of strong airtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyk Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 i have ridden it in the front back and middle, all offer subtle airtime, but not that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
