FROM OUR ORIGINAL POST:
The Bebes will be embarking on their second Theme Park Tour soon, and could really use the help of other TPR members.

We are hoping to get some advice about the parks (routes, eateries, hidden gems, opinions, etc.) as well as the cities that they are in (other landmarks, eateries, etc.)

We already have Six Flags, Cedar Fair & Busch Properties season passes.
We could use advice on acquiring discounts for Kennywood, Knoebel's, & Hershey.

We will be posting Super Duper trip reports right here in this thread as the trip unfolds!

Please help us make the best of our trip! Thanks!

[rawrtothearghI wrote the book about donkeys!]

Sounds like an amazing trip!
Have fun and be safe!
Can't wait to see the TR's as you two go along.

[JakizleI had sex with N-Tag before you did.]

Sounds like a mini version of the East Coast trip from last year! Too bad you couldn't throw in SFNE and LC, but I understand that is a far drive from PA.

Just looking at your trip real quick, I think the highlight is going to be seeing Big Mike lol

Actually, we meet up at Dorney on Friday, and after that you have a sightseeing day, an open day, Great Adventure, and then another sight seeing day.

Since you are up as far north as you are going to go in Dorney, you "could" conceivably go right down the whole Jersey coast and collect everything, including Moreys Pier and Cape May NJ unless you have them already. They both have 6 coasters each.

You are also skimming right around Dutch Wonderland too.

Thats just the credit whore in me speaking, sightseeing time is cool too, especially Washington DC.


Peace, Big Mike

[TPDaveI know EXACTLY where my passport is!]

Sounds like a great trip! You'll have a lot of fun and get some awesome rides in!

May 25 (Memorial day) - Fly in to Pittsburgh 6pm (we are considering a
mad dash to Waldameer for Ravine Flyer 2;
they close at 10pm)

If at all possible, I would definitely recommend this, the RF II is soooo good. You might even see Trevor in the Waldameer show!

[ElToroGirl84Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

D'oh!

I'll be heading up to Ohio to Cedar Point and King's island the weekend you are going to Dorney and Six Flags but WOW what a lot of parks to go to in such a short amount of time, I'm jealous. Mostly because at the moment not sure if I could afford such a trip but it sounds like fun! Have fun at Dorney with Big Mike! Though it's hard to not have fun with Big Mike around!

[The BebesDonkeys are my way of life!]

BIG MIKE & ANYONE ELSE:

You are also skimming right around Dutch Wonderland too.

If we wanted to hit Dutch Wonderland we would have to end our day at Hersheypark around 3pm or 4pm (closes at 8pm) in order to get to Dutch Wonderland for 1-2hrs before they close at 6pm.

We pose this question: In your opinion, is 1-2hrs at DUTCH WONDERLAND worth losing 4-5hrs at Hersheypark AND costing an additional $50?

We have never been to either Hershypark OR Dutch Wonderland.

[The BebesDonkeys are my way of life!]

If at all possible, I would definitely recommend (trying to make it to Waldameer for an hour or less), the RF II is soooo good.
Dave "We didn't start the fire!" Wilson

Does Waldameer ever stop running their rides or close earlier than their posted closing time???

We'd hate to drive 2+ hours from Pittsburgh to arrive at Waldameer at 9:30pm and find that they stopped running RFII or closed for the night. Then drive 2+ hours back to Pittsburgh.

We were lucky enough to ride the Voyage in 2006 and have been anticipating another Gravity Group creation!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

If you have a yen for a good pulled-pork BBQ sandwich while you're in Williamsburg, check out Pierce's Pitt on East Rochambeau (very near Great Wolf Lodge) and order "JC's Special." If you want any other local restaurant recommendations, let me know.
