Dorney Park Vlog June 2023

Join us as we head to the first park of our 2023 USA Road Trip, Dorney Park located in Pennsylvania! Featuring 7 roller coasters, along with a fantastic variety of other rides, this historical amusement park dates back to 1884. In this vlog we explore Dorney Park for the first time, including reviews from all of the coasters, along with various other rides. This includes Steel Force, Talon and many more awesome rides. We also ride some of the parks older attractions and much more as we enjoy our day at Dorney Park!

"Why is it called Hydra, The Revenge?" I'm glad you asked. 😊 Dorney used to have a massive wooden coaster called Hercules which beat you up pretty good. It was always problematic and didn't last long. When they got rid of it, they replaced it with Hydra. Per mythology, Hercules killed the Hydra, but here Hydra "killed" Hercules, hence"The Revenge."

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@patrickc950]

Hercules was way better then Hydra wish they gave it love.

[@nomovingparts3371]

Enjoyed this video so much that I just got a season pass to Dorney Park. Thanks for inspiring me to get out there and keep on riding!

[@coastingalong]

@@patrickc950Hercules first drop was ok but the rest of the ride was very boring

[@seeyuh_xman]

Wow I never knew that

[@ThemeParkOgre]

Shawn's rocking it with the editing and upload speed!

[@AudiophileTommy]

He’s in the ZONE ❤

[@paulkiepert6270]

Always amazed how quick he gets these out and the quality is always great.

[@auhsoj3adie]

I think the way he presents his videos means that there isn’t too much editing involved, just putting the clips in order.

[@charlieroden108]

@@auhsoj3adieyeah exactly, hardly any editing whatsoever.

[@glennartstuffs-freejazzfil4730]

​@@auhsoj3adie Even a small amount of editing is a lot, if you're putting out this many videos, while staying in hotels. I don't know how they do it. Definitely appreciate the work they put into it though, these videos are great. They spoil us with the amount of them that they upload.

[@Joenes1]

Shawn and Charlotte's enthusiasm for Dorney Park was absolutely contagious! Their genuine excitement and passion for the park brought a smile to my face. It's clear that Dorney Park offers an amazing experience, and Shawn and Charlotte's energy only amplified that. Watching their joyous reactions made me even more eager to visit and create my own unforgettable memories. Kudos to Shawn and Charlotte for sharing their enthusiasm, and to Themepark Worldwide for showcasing the magic of Dorney Park! 🎢

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much. We had a great day!

[@user-nd7vm9jz8b]

They do good job talk about the amusement park and the rides. That u feel like u are actually there

[@JohnnyProv]

The vibe on this American road trip is starting off SO GREAT! Love it, I have never really considered Dorney Park but after watching this, it is now on my list. Thank you so much guys for bringing such a great feel to this first of many vlogs from your huge trip!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@CatsnCoasters]

What an underappreciated invert Talon is! This park doesn't seem to get talked about enough, can't go wrong with 2 B&Ms!

[@jonny-b4954]

Reason being it's a pretty mediocre park. No new investment for a decade really

[@brybryguy6314]

Yea so Talon is very underrated and Hydra is a decent ride. Steel Force is also a good classic hyper with a ton of air time. The reason is these rides are not talked about more. It's Dorney, one of the red headed step children of Cedar Fair. But. They are supposed to get a new ride in 2024 so we will see.

[@CatsnCoasters]

@Brybry Guy "red-headed child of Cedar Fair!" 🤣

[@brybryguy6314]

@@CatsnCoasters its true!

[@ItsSiebay]

@@jonny-b4954 I wouldn’t say mediocre. Just doesn’t have that stand out attraction or marketing to drive people towards it like Hersheypark.

[@seanspringer8204]

I love Dorney because you’ll never have to wait more than 10 minutes for a ride. Pretty quiet park all the time.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park!

[@patrickc950]

Its because the rides are old or hand me downs and the water park gets all the attention

[@deannawest07]

Is that still true? Haven’t been there in ages and we were considering going tomorrow (Wednesday) in hopes because it’s a weekday that the lines won’t be horrible. Hershey is always our go to but the lines are just nuts no matter what day to go. I check the app every day trying to find a pattern and it’s always an hour plus for all the coasters.

[@jguyfletch2187]

it's crazy funny when Charlotte gets log flume splashed cuz she "just knew it". I think one of the other reasons I love this channel is getting to hear the merry olde England accent and the use of idiomatic expressions. Thank You, both of you two, this is how happy life can be.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@hux1948]

Never clicked on a video quicker! Cant wait for more vlogs coming up!❤

[@petrus666love]

Hi Shawn and Charlotte, I just wanted too say a big thank you , because I understand the huge amount of camera work and editing you must have put into these vlogs must take up a huge amount of your time in the parks , and it really is wonderful too enjoy your holiday with you both , here’s too many more Blue Sky’s and Happy holiday memories 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@DorneyParkPR]

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!

[@jessicabanister8732]

The best parts of these vlogs is easily going to be Charlotte's reactions to water rides!! 😂😂 Love her!!❤❤

[@timholmes5832]

The octopus ride was once at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, named the Monster it stood where Ice Blast now stands. How I wish the Monster remained, Cedar Point had one too when I visited 2019. Great vlog as per usual🎢

[@garyskippracing]

What a bright and colourful park. Some of the most colourful trains / ride vehicles I’ve ever seen, especially on the B&Ms and the purple Zephyr train!

[@Ryandunbar1996]

Great vlog so far just a thought was the person who painted the zephyr train and the hydra the revenge b and m trains a 90s kid if so their inspiration was evidently Barney the purple dinosaur....lol

[@Calakapepe]

Always an immediate "like" when I click on one of your videos. Always exuding so much positivity :) Excited for you to experience (reexperience) some of my fav US parks!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@toxicbrit1985]

This is amazing! Im so excited to see this whole series and follow you both on your USA Road Trip.

[@vicdishiker]

What a great start to your trip adventure. I love your joy and enthusiasm and thank you for sharing it all with us!! Great vlog!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Those Rapids were RIDICULOUS!!! 💧 💦 🌊

[@JoeMamaLlama1234]

I knew they’d love talon. Intense elements good pacing and landscaping even airtime on an invert! It’s so underrated and I’m glad they love it! Edit: overall I’m so glad they love dorney I see few praises about the park yes it’s small but hearing them say how it’s a wonderful park makes me so happy

[@jonny-b4954]

It Is great. I only rode it twice in like... 2008. Been a while. I'm planning a Penn trip though

[@bretvillanueva5619]

Possessed opened in 2000 at Six Flags Ohio / Worlds of Adventure / Geauga Lake as “Superman: The Ultimate Escape”. It moved to Dorney in 2008 after Cedar Fair closed Geauga Lake in 2007. Glad to see it still running ❤

[@btechbateson2908]

WOW. What an amazing day and dorney park seems to be a secret gem. The coasters look amazing (especially steel force and talon) and the park seems so well put together. Such a fun vlog and that rapids 😂. Can’t wait to see the rest of this amazing trip on both channels

[@AMagicProduction]

Love seeing Shawn visiting new parks for the first time!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love a first ever visit!

[@francisnguyen6349]

Hey, Shawn and Charlotte! What's up? Awesome video footage at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks!

[@keatonward7693]

The way the train went over the first hill on steel force looked exactly like the big one with the straight track 😂. So excited for these 25 vlogs can’t wait for the next

[@roisincolcomb9517]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that 😂

[@smallworld54]

The Whip, brought back memories of riding it at Blackpool with my dear late mum ❤️ She loved the classic ride. Thanks Sean & Charlotte for a great first vlog!

[@2112c]

I am soo excited for this trip, cant wait to live vicariously through you for the next month 😊

[@hazzarrthestinkybrit]

Yes! Can’t wait for the 24 vlogs to come!! Have fun on your trip!

So much on the way!

[@codysnecktattoo3340]

Great video! I'd never heard of this park and I'm going to Pennsylvania next year so I might visit. I can't believe Shawn was being a right Charlotte about those rapids!

[@BackRowBlitz]

And so the vlogs begin, So excited for more. Good work guys! 👍

[@jorjafoxluvr]

Love the seat colouring on those first 2 coasters . Demon Drop looks the same as used to be at Cedar Point in the 80's when I used to go there in high school . Loved it ! Thanks for the tour of this historic park :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! It’s a fantastic start!

[@nevillechant27]

Absolutely fantastic guys many thanks really enjoyed it x

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

[@jasonhamelin2859]

And so the big USA trip really begins 😊. Watching this brought back tons of memories of when I used to go to this park often from the late 90s to mid 2000s. Was great to see steel force and thunder hawk again. It really made my night, and I'm looking forward to seeing Knoebels when that one is uploaded. Keep up the great work, and enjoy this epic trip!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great to get this huge trip underway!

wonderful vlog, looking forward to these every day! going to America and seeing big coasters is the best feeling

[@reggieshelton4301]

What a fantastic park! It’s devastating that we couldn’t get on ride footage because there’s genuinely nothing funnier than watching Charlotte on a water ride 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great time!

Ooh here we go with the USA trip.. Let's rock

[@Dubsicle]

Have an awesome trip together ... and keep on riding ! Will be looking forward to all the epic vlogs, giving us all a treat !

Dorney is my childhood park. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. Steel Force was my first big coaster, it's such a fun ride!

[@Drebe73]

Glad you made it to the States safely. Great first video. Never been to Dorney but glad to see it is still going strong. Enjoy your adventure.

I like watching these vids as a Brit I like seeing all the other parks everywhere. Keep up the good work!

I loved the travel day which I watched last night, I nearly had a heart attack when day 1 was uploaded too! Loving this series, cannot wait for the rest of the series, I love seeing the old American amusement parks, I love the history, as well as the rides!! Keep up the amazing work guys! 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

Yes yes here we go 🎉🎉🎢have a great trip you 2 🤟

[@CaseFamilyVlogs]

We just visited here the first time last week! What a beautiful little park!

[@FeedYourGreed]

Looked like a great day, this park looks awesome. The spike on the Intamin Impulse at Valleyfair has a brake on it that holds you for a moment at the top of the straight spike. Really weird weightlessness sensation. Air time on a vertical spike is crazy!

[@DamianGaming]

I Am So Excited To See More Videos From Your USA Trip I Saw The Travel Vlog I Hope You Guys Enjoy The Trip And I Wish I Could Do Something Like This But Maybe In The Future

Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

[@aledwilliams1929]

Brilliant start, looking forward to the next one 👏👏👏👏👍

Demon Drop was at Magic Mountain in California as Freefall, and also at Great America near Chicago as The Edge. (among other parks). Brings back memories of the 80’s!!

[@Posirep]

The one at Dorney had only been at Cedar Point previously

[@thisirishcobcan]

I love that wild mouse. Flamingo land were crazy to replace their version with hero! Cedar point has the same waterfalls on their rapids - the first time I went on I got absolutely soaked lol I’ll have to send you a picture from 2018 lol I wasn’t impressed but my husband found it hilarious lol

[@outaboutuk9955]

I love seeing your first time reactions to parks and new coasters 😅

[@more_bumps_ahead]

Always up promptly, looking forward to this years tour!

[@philhunter9134]

More than any other vlog, this one was special to me. You’re in the land of my birth, at my first real amusement park. I have 8mm film of my family and me when I was very young at this park. Of course it looks quite different after 50 years, but some things remain. I’m glad you got a shot of the old juggling clown sign. Thank you for starting your trip here. And your hair’s looking good.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for joining us!

[@mathieujacob4474]

It was great to see all the little details and the whole experience of this park, which you wouldn't usually see in shorter vlogs ! Can't wait for Knoebels !

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

I love your guys fresh look on the parks. I can't wait to hear what Charlotte thinks about Knoebels. You guys have some nice weather here in PA this week!

Nice, long vlog! Looks like you're having fun!!

[@aysuppatruck6185]

Talon was my first real coaster the year it opened. As soon as the coaster took that first swooping drop I was hooked. Thanks for the reminder I need to go back because it's now 20+ years old....and I'm 20+ years older lol.

[@BenjiNerdyDog]

YAY HERE WE GO USA!!! 🇺🇸

Dorney Park looks a really nice park to visit with some amazing rides to have a go at. Enjoy the historic points of the park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@suzanneburn9873]

Wow what a fantastic looking park, some can be too over the top and commercially themed but a beautiful themed park without the massive growds,some great rides👍🌞

[@michellepiskur3694]

Thanks so much for the beautiful video! Demon drop is such a great ride! Not sure if you know, but demon drop originally opened at cedar point in 1983. It was moved to Dorney park when cedar point built the Gatekeeper coaster!! Demon drop is so very fun!!!

[@gametime2473]

Cool! I really enjoyed your last last trip. I hope to do a Europe trip at some point but moneywise it's probably not in the cards for a while. Possessed is by far my favorite impulse coaster. I really like the straight vertical part with the brake, and it holds you for a WHILE. That part is definitely best in the back since you free fall from a higher point after the brake. We really need to get back there this year, it's been a long while.

[@can_you_guess_my_new_username]

I'm hollering. I live in Delaware about 1hr and 10minutes from Dorney Park and I've never been there.ive never even considered going. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I love coasters and consider myself an enthusiastic. I live in the USA but you've been to more parks here than I have. I am second guessing all of my life choices now.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park!

27:33 Thats an Eyerly Monster and those dont flatten all the way down like the Octopus rides your use to thats why it loads like a ferris wheel

[@davidnm21]

Dorney Park a great start to your great American theme park adventure. Those water rides are incredible absolute soakers. Definitely belong in a water park rather than a theme park. Amazing coasters too. Enjoy your adventure guys.

[@tbx59]

Have this on while doing some work and keep hearing about this Ahsoka ride. Magic Mountain used to have a ride like Demon Drop - loved that as a kid.
