Dorney is such an underrated park. Once you go here more often, you realize its charm. Plus, the coasters are truly awesome. It’s a shame to see this park so neglected sometimes.

[@calebreese2311]

rollin coasters i agree it is an underrated park. cedar fair just needs to give this park some love like a gci some more good flats and some more food options

[@zacharystewart5344]

rollin coasters Agree! I go all the time and every time it gets better. I don't think they get enough credit for keeping the coasters running all day every day. I've only been once when stinger was closed for half a day

[@asrvaa]

rollin coasters facts in my opinion i love dorney park

[@Johanna-ox4sf]

rollin coasters Right! I live by dorney Park, and I hate when people think it’s boring, or not intense enough it’s so underrated

[@SuperMandoLive]

i agree, i visit dorney park twice a week

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

They usually run at least two trains on Steel Force, but I've only been there a few times. By far the best thing about this park for me is its scenery, it is such a peaceful park, and it's a park that you can just take your time and relax in. The creek is very pleasant, and the trout pond they have by Demon Drop is a lovely addition as well. I always look forward to going here. As for the food, I love how they have strawberry soft serve, and Auntie Annies is a goddess when it comes to pretzels.

[@vanellopevonschweetz9892]

Theme Park Crazy I must say that cedar fair's parks are certainly impressive in size

[@savastanofilms8799]

Yeah I agree they usually run 2 trains on everything

[@thatpurpleshark7618]

Theme Park Crazy When other favorite coaster you tuber comments on the other’s video: 😀😃😄😁😆😆😁😄😀😃😁😁😆😁😄😃

[@jerinesuwannanon9295]

Hiiiiii theme park crazy

[@geonagle5948]

if you go during the summer on a Tuesday through Thursday they run 2 trains and one on steel force and the majority of the rides are just walk on's. I ave season passes and go a lot through the summer.

[@adrenalineoverdrive9133]

The rides at Dorney look incredibly pretty. The color schemes are fantastic.

[@matthewmiller7207]

Dorney is in a pretty tough spot, as it is surrounded by Six Flags Great Adventure, Hersheypark, and Knoebels, all of which are parks you'd probably pick over Dorney.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Especially considering two out of those three are cheaper

[@ianchaille997]

Kennywood is not too far either

[@NathanaelErik]

Matthew Miller dorney also doesnt give you a readon to pick them over the others tho..

[@poggorseal2726]

Poor Dorney:(. At least they aren't as neglected as Michigans Adventure though.

[@behunter215]

Allentown native here. Dorney seems to go downhill every year as the price increases. Really only worth it for the haunt

[@kaitlynprisque6489]

100% agree

[@905Metalhead]

There’s a good pun in there since Dorney literally goes downhill.

[@staringcorgi6475]

They probably increase to make the guests not treat it like a daycare

[@DarrenButzTV]

This is my home park, I visit about 30+ times a season (I also used to work there). While there is a lot of concrete, there's also a ton of greenery, in my opinion. As for the running 1 train thing, Thunderhawk ALWAYS runs 1 train, unless it forms a line that reached the end of 1 switchback (that's the measurement for adding train #2). Everything else almost always runs 2 trains. My guess is the dry side was even less crowded than usual that day with the hot temperatures (everyone was probably in the water park) and they ran 1 train to make things easier on the employees since it was so humid.

[@zacharystewart5344]

DarrenButzTV Y same. I go here at least 10 times a year. When I go they are usually running two trains all the time. If steel force is running with full trains it's a busy day lol

[@ZeroTubeTV]

I hardly ever go even though I live 18 minutes away lol. I worked there this season haha

[@Aj-pz9ik]

DarrenButzTV I go twice a year,summer and fright feast

[@SuperMandoLive]

this is also my homepark and i elieve this is good, little park

[@bigbreezy4993]

Me too I work here as well

[@Ramon-fv6be]

1:20 “some of them were running ONE TRAINS” lmfao 👀

[@quentin3330]

LMFAO , i caught that too.

[@sarah-gp6tq]

I live really close to this park and I’ve been here so many times. I hate how much people don’t appreciate it!

[@KillerQueen99]

Me to I have been there like a million times

[@ryant7865]

2:00 “Doo-Doo.” *LOL*

[@infinitecoasters8769]

[@SemiShweet]

[@shellysimon6229]

NO!

[@blondejulia]

I’m going their this week and I’m so excited! It will be my first time going there!

[@northwesternstableslessonp1535]

there are flower gardens at every turn. We have season passes to 3 local parks and even my 7 year old commented about how many trees there are at Dorney. They have the best food options of the three parks. The rides are great for littles to thrill seekers. They have 2 big coasers that the littles can get on. I think this may be my favorite locally.

[@julianalicciardi]

way back in 2011 when i was in middle school, i was actually the 10 millionth rider on Talon! they had a whole celebration planned with cake and the local news station, but i’ve always had bad social anxiety so i didn’t exactly enjoy all the attention haha. it was still a cool experience, my family got our own personal ride on the coaster and even a guide to take us around and skip the lines (although i made my dad ask him to leave since i was really shy and felt uncomfortable getting special treatment). i have the certificate somewhere, i gotta find it! it was a cool moment for a little baby coaster enthusiast back then lol

[@kenrickbautista6141]

I absolutely love Dorney Park! It's like my all-time favorite amusement park. I first came to the park when I was 13 (in 2009) and started working there in 2013 to 2014. I love the rides, staff, food, etc.. Tickets, Season Pass, I don't care, I just love coming to the park. As a kid or as an adult, I really enjoy coming there. Whether I am by myself or with anyone else, I just love going to Dorney Park. One of the greatest places I've ever been in.

[@awardedaqua580]

I live 5 minutes away from Dorney so I buy a season pass every year. They usually run 2 trains.

[@SoCalAdventurer19]

I visited Dorney Park for the first time back in June of this year and I had an awesome time. I was very blessed that I got to go back again in july. Sure it was hot but i made the best of it. I saw lots of beautiful landscaping when I was there and it's a very peaceful park for sure. What I love is hat they that beautiful clear water creek running through the park, and you can feed the geese that live in.the park during the warmer months. It may not be a destination park like cedar point but I think that works well in their favor ! I can't wait to visit Dorney again !

[@kurupted-]

Everyone talks bad about Dorney cause of the roller coasters comparing em to Hershey but in reality dorney sticks out cause of its WATER PARK. It’s not even comparable towards Hershey, Knoebels Etc

[@jeancampbell7489]

The first aid department at the Park was great!!!!! THANKS for the excellent care on August 17 from Ms.Campbell

[@SARGE-LSA]

I agree, however in the early 2000's it was an amazing time to be at Dorney. Dorney still has many more rides to come in the future. I think it would be worth another visit in the next few years.

[@elizabethkiefer2626]

I work at Dorney! I see a lot of great things happening there and I think 2018 is looking to be our year as the workers are very nice this year and it’s so much cleaner than in past years. I think our main focal point is our variety and our entertainment and not so much “thrill” per se. unless you’re doing the water park. But it would be nice to also start reviewing experiences with employees there cause I think the team we have currently trying to make your time at dorney fun are very nice this year.

[@adammoreno4560]

ive worked here!!!! every coaster has 2 trains all the time besides thunderhawk...

[@lindakoponosh7887]

Yooo that's sick my fav ride is meteor 😀😀😀

[@StamfordBridge]

Don’t forget the weird log ride with a slope instead of a drop. And they saved all the charm for the historic Zephyr train.

[@jeremymazur7938]

I live about an hour from both Great Adventure and Dorney Park. I started going to both in the mid-1970's when Dorney Park was a ticket park with no admission fee. We tend to alternate our season passes a lot, Great Adventure is more extreme while Dorney Park is much more family friendly. I discovered Hershey Park in the late 1980's, a great family park but over 2 hours from home. Last year we got the Cedar Fair Platinum Passes and also visited Carowinds, Cedar Point and King's Island.

[@aidenrodriguez7743]

I live in the PA and I come here basically twice a week they do have two carts running most of the time since I’ve been there only one of the days there was only one train running but the park was empty that day so there’s a answer if you haven’t got one and it was the same in 2017 cause I get a season pass every year.

[@lindsteele898]

I went on a couple of rides and when lines died down I rode hydra 3 times cause I do that at Hershey and I liked hydra. Then I rode talon 1 time and rode the claw 1 time. Felt like I was gonna through up. Had to sit in the back of the car laying down. And I had a friend with me too :( it was good rides but ive never gotten motion sick like that and ive been to a lot of parks

[@airtimemyke8164]

I found it interesting the B&M Coasters were silent. visited over the summer. you can knock this park out in 4-5 hours. went on a Thursday. They ran 2 trains on everything except the woody coaster. empty and relaxed. didn't feel crowded at all. loved the scenery and bridge over the creek.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Eye Cue This park has severe noise restrictions due to the neighborhoods that are close by, the B&M roar was way too loud so they had to fill the track and supports with sand to stop the noise and meet regulations.

[@airtimemyke8164]

Adam Smith thanks for the knowledge

[@lindakoponosh7887]

I'm going there on a Thursday 19 th

[@samfanus1416]

Good review! I pretty much agree with everything you had to say. My fiance, my sister, and I all got season passes since they were like $80. It's been nice, we've gone like 4 times so far.

[@irishmusiclover100]

This is my closest home park, less than an hour away. I always have a great time here! They have a great coaster and flat ride collection and I find it charming, more than some other parks I've been to. I agree though their rides aren't quite as awesome as their neighbor parks, like Great Adventure and Hershey. I still love the park though and I think it looks really nice.

[@estop1332]

That opening shot is so freaking cool.

[@APTFour]

Great Review. One of my favorites yet.

[@SiebayPlays]

Dorney is on my list for this year of parks to visit along with Kings Dominion so I can’t wait to see them for myself.

[@njmaxrocks]

You are pretty spot on. I live about an hour from Dorney in Central New Jersey. So for me Great Adventure is a bit closer and light years more impressive. I hit Dorney once every 2 to 3 years, but drive by it every year when I drive 2-3 hours to go to Knoebels and occasionally Hershey. I do like Talon a lot, Hydra is fun and their big steel coaster is solid... I also enjoy the in park water rides, but that's about it. I hear the water park is ok+, but super crowded any hot day. Overall, it's a converted old school family park that CF ripped the charm out of without every fully investing in it to the likes of their signature properties. So... meh in general... but if you want to power ride Talon and Hydra, I've gotten in 25+ rides in on a day. Can't do that at many parks.

[@dchang11]

njmaxrocks talon is probably the best invert in the northeast

[@fireysoul7896]

David C well I’m mean what are our other options here Batman the Ride that’s a nope Raptor that’s ok Soooooooooooo Talon is probably the best in the northeast

[@huskypack6811]

I moved close to dorney a little over two years ago, and my parents used to go as children so we got season passes so that we could go whenever we wanted to. I really liked the variety of rides, I never really liked roller coasters so it was nice that I could ride some things. I’m not sure how it compares to a lot of other parks, I’ve only been to like 3 others, 2 of which I hardly remember (Busch gardens in Florida somewhere, a six flags in St. Louis I think, and Knoebles. Knoebles is the one I remember), but I still liked it. It can never beat Knoebles for me though, it was a huge part of my childhood, I would choose one day at Knoebles over 20 days at dorney. Anyways, I enjoyed it. My favorite ride was the scrambler. It’s my favorite ride at any amusement park, honestly. I love being scrambled.

[@laurenklinger9074]

I was actually there yesterday with my youth group! It was AWESOME!

[@123bellacat]

I've been on banshee and kings island and I was wondering if talon is better or not

[@patricksmith3556]

Yup! That's actually a very fair, honest, and accurate review. I'm a big fan of Dorney simply because it's my local home town park. On a slower day towards the beginning of the week its very easy to show up at opening, ride everything twice, and head home bored long before closing time though. There isn't any reason to spend a full day there. Cedar Fair owns about thirteen parks that I know of. Cedar Point is obviously their consistent record setting flagship park. I wish they would invest a little more and show a little more love and TLC to their other parks. Side note: Last time I wa at Dorney Park I overheard a twelve year old say "Who's Snoopy?" I grew up a big Charles M. Schultz fan..... but I have to admit it - NO ONE born after 1985 remembers who Snoopy, Woodstock, or Charlie Brown are. Cedar Fair has to step up thier park mascot and theming as well!

[@JTL1776]

Dorney is my childhood been going there for 10+ years.

[@gplez91]

Visited Dorney while we were passing through PA on the way to Great Adventure. I’d have to agree with everything you said. It’s a solid park, but nothing there wowed me (or even got close to wowing me). Hydra is cool, but it’s probably the weakest floorless coaster I’ve been on. Talon is solid, and Steel Force is just bleh after the drop. The hills around the park don’t help you out on a hot day, although it’s not as bad as SFMM. The only reason I’d visit again is if I were passing through again, or they get some kick ass $10+ million coaster that is just hard to pass up.

[@walteraventurero8682]

There is nothing better in life than spending a day in Dorney Park!

[@DoxxxiFoxx]

im pretty sure they only run two trains on very busy days. i go there every year, and im actually going next week!

[@seanl8930]

I really do like this park. Like you said it has got something for everyone which is very good. This was one of the parks I went to before I really got into roller coasters and conquered my fears of tall and steep rides like Nitro and El Toro. I have been going to my other home park SF Great Adventure for 3 years now. This is one of those parks I would like to see do better on the Cedar Fair chain and who knows maybe they will give it some cool stuff like how they are making Carowinds a better park. I do like that they have some older classic rides you can't really find elsewhere so there is some uniqueness to this park in terms of rides. There waterpark I would call ok but I have seen better but for what they got it fits Dorney. I give the park a 7/10 but before I was all about coasters it was a 10/10 for me. It's nice to look back on what I loved and give an honest opinion of it now that I am into coasters.

[@PhonixzGaming75]

Dorney is a great park, it's one of my home parks and I go there every year, great place for kids and coaster nerds.

[@826wwefan4]

Where would this go on a top 11 Cedar Fair?

[@kenziereed355]

Does anyone know if someone with a broken arm can ride the roller coasters? My friend broke her arm & we have a school field trip to Dorney soon.

[@eunoia3919]

Kenzie Reed not sure, but there are signs there’s who can ride them and who can’t. I think she shouldn’t cause it can cause more damage not sure though

[@LilPnutDollMom526]

When did you go? I worked for Dorney park for eight years. Park Ops for two years of those eight. It fit was before school left out or after school went back, they were already going back to school that’s why there is only one train.

[@AdamS32828]

I live a little over an hour from Dorney but about an hour and a half from Great Adventure. I’ve only been to Dorney maybe twice because I think it’s good but the coasters can’t compare to SFGA. I definitely feel less urgent at Dorney because it’s never as busy and the lines are always shorter, plus there are fewer rides so you don’t feel the need to rush around to get on everything. This year I got a six flags season pass though so I don’t think I’ll make it to Dorney at all

[@SeekerLancer]

I think both SFGA and Hershey to a lesser degree kind of of kill Dorney's appeal. Also Knoebels but that's a very different experience.

[@nathanlamoreaux1272]

Totally agree with your review. Talon was closed on my visit though, so I really missed out on one of the park’s best, if not the best. Hydra was underwhelming, Thunderhawk beat me up, Steel Force was one of the weaker hypers I’ve ridden, and Stinger flat out sucked. Possessed and Demon Drop are the best rides there, IMO, since I couldn’t get on Talon.

[@blindpeopledostuff3587]

If not a lot of people go to this park and it should be my next destination. It looks good.

[@MattyCtrains]

For the money and the package your getting for this park I consider it fantastic. I live in new york and live only 2hours away from it. Quality park

[@allenpritz8811]

The park has been running rides wonderfully in 2021. They do need one stand out attraction other than Steel Force. It’s running hotter than ever, but they have plenty of land to fit multiple additions in. It could compete or even be better than Hershey or great adventure if it did.

[@caityc1046]

I live like 10 mins away from dorney. I absolutely Love it.

[@ksoccer2415]

This is my home park and I find it so depressing. Its really sad how neglected it has become. And im sick of how we keep downsizing! Like they have removed my first inverting coaster Laser, and they removed a screaming swing and hangtime a huss top spin. Like what the heck they shouldn't be removing rides. I am just hoping we actually get something in Stinger's spot. A RMC Raptor maybe or maybe a gci if dinos get removed. It just is really sad to see a park get put in the back seat for a while especially since I grew up right next to it. Only good part is that I find the park very pretty and charming, lots of flowers and a creek.

[@oldaccount8115]

I go every year with my school! We compete in the high note festival and then spend the rest of the day at the park! I recommend the talon if your a daredevil!!😉😉😊😊

[@ryant7865]

My favorite place to go there every summer!!

[@alyssaharding990]

I have a season pass to dorney park and I love it so much. It is my favorite amusement park

[@dkeyjets7370]

as this being my home park I agree with almost everything you said but I hope we get something new sometime in the future!

[@quentin3330]

Is this the Pa. park that's building a Pittsburgh Steelers themed coaster and section?

[@michaelmorgan3910]

It used to be a way better Park, I grew up with this amusement park and water park and it is best in combination, it used to have one of the best roller coasters in the whole state if not the whole Northeast Coast called Hercules which at the time was the largest wooden roller coaster in the world, the only problem is is it was not maintained very well and eventually had to be replaced after being torn down because it got rickety, but I wrote it in its heyday and it was amazing when it was maintained

[@lexielewis2121]

I live 40 minutes from dorney and go all the time but the lines are never long anymore I can usually be done with the whole park in three hours

[@jilldenardo7231]

Taylor, first off I love ur vids n have for a few years now, you are doing so great with ur site...dorney park is my home park and I have renamed it "Dorky park"...I buy platinum passes for cedar fair because some of their other parks are much nicer

[@iceking7045]

The Haunt and WildWater Kingdom are both exceptional. This is my home park, but we could use some new coasters

[@sum_rand0m]

I'm going today but when I was there in 2017 there were multiple trains running on all the major coasters

[@danielworleyyy]

While they may not be mind-blowing, Talon, Hydra, and Steel Force are some of the most beautiful coasters I've seen at a park.

[@jameskrten1164]

I love Dorney Park. It's got a good collection of coasters and fun rides. I love Hydra my current favorite floorless coaster next to Bizzaro at Six Flags GA. Water park and flat rides are great. Something in the park for everyone.

[@kartos.]

You never got to ride The Laser coaster they used to have before it was sent to Germany. :( but the pull of Dorney is morning/early day in the water park, dry park in the afternoon and evening.

[@annm861]

most of the time they run 2 trains except on thunder hawk, they almost always run only one train. It makes the line take forever even if it doesn't look that long. Also lines aren't normally very long depending on when you go. if you go during the haunt, prepare to wait in massive lines

[@ehsbe1056]

I loved the dab shot

[@yolohead6165]

It's occasional that they have one cart I go about every summer and it fits my needs for thrills

[@maddierosa5052]

I live local and it’s a great park just to go to if you don’t have a pool or if your going with friends. as you get deeper into the summer, they run more then one train. it’s a really great park in my opinion.

[@smeagolplaysgames4517]

Are you going to do a review of Elitch Gardens at some point?

[@kellybananabelly594]

Dorney is my childhood. Probably my favorite park

[@lindahope9463]

I went here August 2017 it was amazinngggggg all the rides were amazing

[@claudiacarmona264]

The only times I have been to Dorney are when it was free. I love going on Labor Day weekend because it most food is $1. Overall, I do love this park and it's a good park to go once a year.

[@gustsl1160]

Can you do a hydra the revenge review?

[@badboyryan2012]

Gust Gaming I agree too

[@badarchive]

He most likely will

[@StamfordBridge]

And please explain what it’s avenging.

[@flipflubduck]

StamfordBridge “The Revenge” part of Hydra’s name is a reference to the attraction that originally stood there, a wooden coaster called Hercules. Hydra now sits where Hercules did, and if you know mythology, you’d know Hercules supposedly slayed the Hydra. But Dorney decided to close Hercules and put Hydra in its place, as if Hydra was defeating Hercules, hence the name “Hydra: The Revenge.”

[@StamfordBridge]

Nathaniel Johnson I was just kidding with my question, but I didn’t know the ride history of that site, so thanks for the serious answer.

[@belly6721]

So I live about 3 hours away & this is the park me & my family pick to go to every year (this is our 9th year going I believe) & they're usually running more than 2 cars for each ride except thunderhawk. But this park definitely has something for everyone :)

[@Xtle_]

I just went to dorney about two weeks ago and it was my first time in a loooong time since my last visit. I went on a week day so it was not that packed. But I did notice that the coasters had one cart on the track at a time.

[@hyhoops1080]

I go to Dorney park regularly the best time to go is on Sunday morning (If you don’t have church) and normally the lines are not that long but, avoid Saturdays especially during the summer.

[@theelectionmaster9786]

been here about 7 times its never been packed and rides are always walk ons with them rung two or three trains I love this place

[@jessicaweirback9588]

I grew up locally to there. My family and I usually went at least once a year. Since I've moved from there, I've been back once because I got a free ticket. It's nothing that amazing. I think your opinions are pretty on point.

[@izaiahblake2555]

I’m an hour plus away from here and come 1-3 times a year and usually they run both trains on all coasters except for thunderhawk. It’s usually always dead as well when I go, I went on Saturdays all 3 times last year and no soul in the dry side of the park

[@smatrai]

Agreed, as TPC noted below they generally do run 2 trains on Steel Force and I have seen that on Talon too but other than that no. It's a nice park for families who "live by there" but between Hershey and Great Adventure which have way superior coaster lineups they just get outclassed. Overall nothing ever "Impresses" me about Dorney although I do like Talon as an invert and Steel Force is "ok". What Dorney really could use is a Mystic Timbers/Prowler like GCI and to remove Dinosaur's alive and build it extending back into that area that would put them more on the map. But Personally for me as a Coaster Enthusiast it's a stop by if you have extra time or a nice stop if you have family with kids of all ages.

[@mattmarafino]

I went there really excited for the big steel coasters like hydra and talon but it rained really hard before I got on anything

[@evan9902]

This is one of my home parks and I can say they don’t always run with 1 train. Pretty much every time I went they were running 2 trains.

[@ksay2011]

I live near this park and love to go on possessed and hydra.

[@badarchive]

Great and accurate reveiw! What does everyone think will come after stinger?

[@ciearakimberly523]

The 50's diner is amazing. I'm really hoping they'll replace Stinger with a new coaster because they took it out.

[@Jay-uu5lu]

I remember this place from when i was little

[@pennsylvaniamapper]

This is my home park, they usually run 2 trains, but sometimes they run one train. It really depends on how crowded it is. The size of the park makes the crowd seem a lot larger, but it’s really not. They really need to at least try to expand a little.

[@nathanbrown6427]

This is the park that I grew up visiting. It used to be a very classic, almost Knoebels like park, but Cedar Fair removed nearly all of the classic rides that were once there and turned it into a concrete paradise. It is not nearly what it once was, but it is starting to grow back into itself and the park has improved over the last few years. I agree, there is no stand out coaster at the park, Talon and Steel Force are very good, Hydra is meh, and Thunderhawk is nothing like the wild ride it once was. It is the local watering hole, the water park is the main draw here, so while not at all neglected, the dry park does just fine with the collection of rides it has.

[@jasonepstein8746]

I work here. And yeah I agree with everything he said. It’s all accurate , it’s just an overall okay park. (But usually they run 2 trains)

[@lukethompson4269]

park plans for 2018?

[@CoasterStudios]

Luke Thompson next week!

[@aelegends3003]

I had season passes to Dorney park and I always would always go and they usually have more then one card going! So don’t worry 👍

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Going back tomorrow since 2014 and I’m hoping the weather behaves

[@ryanwelsh9717]

I got to Dorney all the time. On a crowded day they will run two trains on everything and three on Steel Force

[@coastermonium515]

This is a great Amusement Park, My personal favorite is Talon, They have a great Water Ride and It has the Eastern PA Charm

[@yazmeenjettmumin4202]

I love dorney park this is going to be my 2 time i haven't went in a long long long long time

[@scottc4199]

Talon has an EYE GASMIC color scheme

Dorney park may be 'plain' compared to many others, but that's what I like about it. There is still that rawness, that being in touch with the nature/enviroment around it, vs being a 100% micromanaged artificial enviroment. To me that's a good thing.

My boyfriend and I visit this park often. We call it 4 flags. It's like it's a great park but there's something missing. We also love that the water park is in the park itself and we stay in the hotel right across the street. It's convenient and we're able to easily get our fill in a day

I go to Dorney at least 10 times a year. The place is always extremely uncrowded. From the vid you went on a "busy day". They usually run 2 trains a lot of the time but do have slow dispatches. Also shout out to the most intense river rapids ever!
