IRON MENACE MEDIA DAY

[@JVR10893]

Man that PR rep is awesome. He’s so knowledgeable about the industry and passionate about the park. It seems like Dorney knocked it out of the park with Iron Menace, and this guy clearly played a huge role in it.

[@thomasxl200]

He is great!

[@NMLNetwork]

Also his sons name is Vash. Trigun ! I knew I liked this guy

[@thomasxl200]

Ryan, the PR rep at Dorney, makes me glad to have Dorney as a home park. Always super responsive, bracingly honest, and it feels like he cares about his job. Thanks for doing such a thorough interview!

[@coasterpost]

Hi Thomas!

[@kylerdavidson5490]

Because you would need to habitually talk to the PR person for a whack ass theme park in Pennsylvania?

[@FeedYourGreed]

Every park having someone in PR that conducts themselves like this would be monumentally positive. I think Dorney made this most of this opportunity and really delivered a nice, complete package with this ride.

[@gabet3514]

5:06 The block zone line never gets old

[@ItsSiebay]

I think it’s funny how Dorney Park already has their new coaster open when Great Adventure is still building theirs and have been open longer.

[@yahuahisall4332]

Great Adventures decision was a last minute one while Dorney was planned over a year in advance. Both Hershey and Great Adventure still have a better lineup.

[@coastingalong]

@@yahuahisall4332knowing six flags, great adventures coaster ain’t opening this year 🤣🤣💀

[@ItsSiebay]

@@yahuahisall4332 I wonder how last minute it was. Either way, it’s kinda hard to advertise a new coaster when it’s not open until at least halfway through the season, and Six Flags has been terrible with that.

[@bonnbonn118]

As someone with Kennywood as their home park, ouch. As a fan of Problematic Coasters and Defunctland, I’m excited 😂

[@snesnshred3535]

Ryan Eldredge comes across as someone who truly cares about Dorney Park. Throughout your long interview with him, he kept pausing to turn to see Iron Menace in operation, not only because of the noise, but also in curiosity and satisfaction. Also, major respect to him for looking out for the height line on this one. We forget what it's like to be very young and not make a lot of the height lines (many inverts are 54"-56"), so major stamp of approval on that fact alone, that I can take my young ones on this.

[@IronManiac]

PR guy going places, def the kind of leadership you want at a park.

[@Thrills_And_Chills_WQAQ]

So general question for you Ryan, the jolts seen throughout the ride and especially the one at the end, do they cause any discomfort on ride? Hearing a bunch of different opinions on the smoothness and i want to hear yours too

[@FunkAndFluff]

It's really cool to hear you interviewing folks in the industry. Hope you get to do more of that in future park visits!

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

I love how the marketing guy was so honest during the interview.

[@lynnyburd1243]

As a marketing manager, their PR/Marketing Manager is so real. They couldn't have hired someone better for the role who is clearly passionate.

[@johnfoltz8183]

Now Dorney Park needs to build a ground up RMC to pay homage to Hercules

[@christianortiz-v1l]

Looks like an amazing addition! Nice to see Dorney finally add a new coaster!

[@MatecaCorp]

It’s going to be so cool to ride the Zephyr through the coaster structure once the track is rebuilt! I love the theming in the station and covered queue. That’s nearly on the same level as Universal! Hopefully they redo the station for Possessed to fit the area at some point, if not replacing the whole thing with a new coaster.

[@AFCompany]

They are going to retheme Possessed to match the surrounding area more in the coming years. Apparently once they retheme it they will fix the holding brake as well.

[@MatecaCorp]

@@AFCompany I hope they do. It would really bring the theme together.

[@garrettbainbridge1954]

We must save all the intimin impulses

[@AFCompany]

@@garrettbainbridge1954 Dorney had an option to put in an over 200ft dive coaster and specifically chose to make it smaller because they would have had to remove Possessed and they want to keep it.

It was so great seeing you yesterday Ryan! Iron Menace is amazing! Great video! 👏

[@yahuahisall4332]

Nice Family ride. Dorney still needs that Headliner coaster though. Line up is all great supporting coasters but need that WOW coaster. Like a awesome Intamin multiple launch where Dinosaurs Alive was.

[@k9feces]

I love the look of the layout

[@vitamoravek]

11:02 - So glad that Jenn showed up to tell us all about our lord and savior Talon of Dorney Park!

[@justinpino8115]

Looks like a nice addition to the park. Going next week

[@MalrusOSC]

It would be great to see a dive coaster one day that doesn’t slow down to hold you over the drop and actually just drops, though it might be too similar to something along the lines of an RMC or a modern Intamin

[@P3peJose]

but thats the whole point of dive coasters

[@MalrusOSC]

@@P3peJosefair point

[@DeadRabbit5]

Looks awesome! I def agree about it being the perfect move for Dorney. Tbh, while I love the new Zambezi, Cedar Fair probably should have gotten two of these, or try and do a package deal for several of the smaller parks. Guaranteed to give good ROI's. Excited to hear that Steel Force is getting the Mamba treatment!! Sounds like I'm going to be making a PA trip soon, if only Steel Curtain wasn't being B

[@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037]

I just want to let Ryan know that when I was a rides supervisor I used your block zone spiel to train new people on roller coasters.

Yo Ryan, I have been binge watching some of your older problematic roller coaster videos recently, and wondered how you got access to the original advertisements, as I am trying to make a video about the history of Kumba at BGT, and really liked how you started those videos with an original ad. I did some searching on KZbin, but couldn't find any that were copyright free. Are they protected under fair use? Anyways, great video, super cool how you got not only invited, but also got to talk to that PR rep. If you are unfamiliar, A block zone is a section of track which only one train can occupy at a time.
