Hey, I work at Dorney Park as well as a ride operator, and I’m glad to see someone write a positive review about a park I’m very passionate about! 😁 Also... nothing beats the Steel Force.
+Zachary L What I meant was that like Possessed's layout, a grilled cheese sandwich is as simple as you can get, and the implication is that they are both awesome.
Theme Park Crazy I know, just joking! I love intamin impulses too. Actually grilled cheese sandwiches are like the best too. Canobie Lake has a new grilled cheese restaurant back behind Corkscrew now which is so 😊
If anyone's wondering why there's a number 12 on the special shout out, it's because it's part of a default title and I somehow forgot to remove it. However, it's not a big enough error to reupload the entire video, so the video will stay.
The first year I went there was the best, and here's why! My 2 favorite sister's took my on my first ever rollercoaster there! And I am very excited to go again
I was there one week ago today (first-time visit), and for me the big surprise was Talon. Intensity and smoothness are an amazing combination, making this one of the best inverted coasters I've ever ridden -- and for me it's a rival for top spot at the park. Now I love hypers, so I expected to love Steel Force, but I actually found it to be a disappointment at first: it just seemed weak. However, on a day when the park was empty so there was no line, I just could not stop marathoning it in the afternoon (kept saying, "OK, this is the last ride," and then afterward: "OK, one more time!"), and with each ride I kept enjoying it more and more. I left loving the thing. For me, the front seat provided the most airtime -- and of course an exhilarating view.
i love dorney so much, i go every year and it never fails to make me happy. i feel at home there every since i’ve moved, but i go there for school trips and i go with ppl who have never been and i’ve been going since i was 7 and now i’m 14. i still love it. steel force was so fun the first time i went on it when i was 9, i remember screaming “we’re gonna die” 😂😂
Great hometown memories going to Dorney! I remember class trips during the spring where we would go on marathons riding all the coasters 4-5 times in a row!
I rode Thunderhawk while I was at Dorney and I LOVED it! Also, I agree with you on the Woodstock Express. It's rough, and I've ridden it before, especially in the back. Back's torture.
Great video! Here's my personal list (I haven't been, just basing this off how my preferences line up with other people's word) 1. Talon 2. Steel Force 3. Hydra 4. Possessed 5. Stinger 6. Thunderhawk 7. Wild Mouse 8. Woodstock Express
Going to Dorney Park regularly, this list is pretty much identical to mine. The only thing I'd switch is Thunderhawk and the Wild Mouse. The Wild Mouse is actually an enjoyable ride for families, but Thunderhawk is EASILY top 2 most painful rides I've been on. I rode it once and will never ride it again.
Right! Some of the 50+ year old woodies are really awesome, but Thunderhawk, Green Lantern at SFGAdv and Apocalypse at SFA are three rides I will never go out of my way to ride.
This is my list at Dorney Park (yes I have been there but possessed was closed when I went so I’ll place it how I think it would place): 1. Hydra The Revenge 2. Steel Force 3. Talon 4. Possessed 5. Stinger 6. Woodstock express
I just went to Dorney for the first time last month with some friends. It was a lot of fun! I'm usually not a fan of big roller coasters, especially ones with loops, but they still managed to drag me onto both Hydra and Talon.
Steel force, thunder hawk, wild mouse, Woodstock express, and laser (a relocated Schwarzkopf double looping coaster that sat where possessed is now) were some of my first credits, if it weren't for a few jr coasters at Dutch wonderland (another small PA park) steel force could've been my first ever coaster
So, I’ve lived in the area my entire life, so I’ve been going to Dorney since I was a wee lass, and the first time I was tall enough to ride Steel Force, it STOPPED in the middle of the first hill. Yeah. That really tall one. And I was on the left side, the side without the access stairs. As a girl terrified of heights, I’ve never made that mistake again. And good thing I didn’t, because 90% of the time I ride it, it stops SOMEWHERE. Either on the first hill again or near the end. I still love it and know I’m safe on it, but I like to have some security when it does stop. Because it’s often. I was there the summer Talon opened and can tell you... Talon IS one of the best inverted coasters ever. It’s close to the entrance and is always one of the first ones I ride, while Steel Force is at the back, so it’s one of the last. Thanks for reviewing my local theme park 💖
I just went to Dorney Park for the first time this week. I could not disagree with you more on Steel Force. I got little to no airtime, and was underwhelmed by the first drop. The best part was the helix going down the hill. But other than that, I've honestly never been more bored on a coaster. Sad, because it was my first Morgan and I was excited to try an old-school hyper.
My family always comes here during the summer, but I’ve had a fear or roller coasters. I’ve overcome that fear by riding Steel Force after my friend forced me to go on it approximately 4 times, and I can’t wait to ride the other ones this summer.
Whoa u actually did a Dorney Park coaster countdown. I don't know if I brought it up or something in one of ur videos before but yay. I actually love this park so much it was my first amusement park as a kid. Six Flags may be a big roller coaster theme park but Dorney has that special at home feeling every time.
I was just there yesterday for 5 hours. I got to ride all of the big coasters (no wild mouse or kiddy coasters though) and the skloosh It rained for 90 minutes and we got free tickets back and then it stopped and the rides reopened with no lines, so I basically get 2 full experiences for the cost of 1 #5: Thunderhawk #4: Possessed (surprised me this was here cause I love launches. It was really fun but the others were better) #3: Talon #2: Stell Force #1: Hydra (I switch 1 and 2 often though)
My first ever roller coaster was steel force. My grandmother and brother literally forced and peer pressured me onto it. Although it was really scary I survived and I now enjoy going on roller coasters whenever I have the chance to go to a theme park.
Was jus here over the weekend, fire..talon was super dope, and Woodstock express was chills I guess with my 4yr old daughter it was too whiplashy but she liked it lol
Steel Force is still one of my favorite rides, mostly for the memories I have of it. My father and I would ride it every time we went and after he passed, I started that tradition with my son, making Steel Force his first rollercoaster.
Went to Dorney for the first time this summer I only live 2 hours away but I live 10 minutes from knoebels so I go there all the time , but I had a blast I was there from open till close that day and there were no were no lines when I went and was glad! only thing that was weird to me and never saw before was that certain rides would be closed for like 2 hours then open again and then close and then open idk if they didn’t have enough workers there or what that was so weird I just had to keep looking every hour to see if it was open or not yet but I loved it there so much!
I very much enjoy Dorney Park. I live in Philly so the 2 closest amusement parks near me are Dorney and Six Flags GA. Dorney offers thrilling coasters for guests so if you are a coaster junkie like me, this is the place for you.
Ben went to the same high school I went to! This man, is without a doubt, one of the nicest people I've ever meet, we are actually really good friends and often talk about roller coasters and theme parks!
Thunder hawk can be really rough depending on where you sit. Bank is the worst. Always gave me headaches. You want to be as close to the front as possible
I go to Dorney Park with my overnight camp every year (I’ve been going for 3 years). This year, I went on steel force 8 times because I liked it too much
I haven't been to Dorney in a very long time, since Hydra first opened. Maybe they smoothed it out since but I absolutely hated Hydra when it opened. It was a once and done ride for a lot of people back then. You'd get your head banged from side to side so bad you totally forgot you where even on a coaster at all while you desperately tried to keep your head pressed back to stop the torturous head banging.
My sister went on Stinger with her friends while I rode Steel Force and the restraint on her friends seat broke during the ride. The shut it down for matinence after their ride. She's happy it's being removed
i know you made this in 2017 but i am saying this in 2019 but in 12 days its my birthday aka july 12 and we are going to dorney park the waterpark and the part you are filming i cant wait to check it out myself!
my top 5 at dorney. I'm visiting the park Friday. I live in harrisburg now. But, was raised on Dorney. I'm from Macungie - bout 10 mins away. 1. Talon 2. Possessed. 3. demon drop. 4. steel force 5. Hydra and honorable mention- pirate ship that flips back and forth across from the talon coaster. I don't recall the name of the attraction.
RIP Stinger. The park recently announced its removal, so pretend it's not on here.
Theme Park Crazy ok
Theme Park Crazy I kind of hate Stinger, so...
Theme Park Crazy when?
Stinger SUCKS
I'm going there Tuesday and was really excited to ride it. Rip. But maybe they'll bring back laser
so he compared Possessed to a grilled cheese sandwich.
Nice
i hate grilled cheese sandwhich but i like impulse coasters though
Edward Isom who hates grilled cheese? I agree with you about impulses though
Love how you somehow managed to compare something to a grilled cheese sandwich
+Mr Doggo Yep, simple but awesome.
Hey, I work at Dorney Park as well as a ride operator, and I’m glad to see someone write a positive review about a park I’m very passionate about! 😁
Also... nothing beats the Steel Force.
I can’t wait to go on steel force as I’m typing this, I’ve literally never been on it.
I didn't know grilled cheese sandwiches had layouts.....
grilled cheese sandwiches typically have square layouts
+Zachary L What I meant was that like Possessed's layout, a grilled cheese sandwich is as simple as you can get, and the implication is that they are both awesome.
Theme Park Crazy I know, just joking! I love intamin impulses too. Actually grilled cheese sandwiches are like the best too. Canobie Lake has a new grilled cheese restaurant back behind Corkscrew now which is so 😊
@@zacharyl4594 LOL
2:07 if u pause and look closely you can see a kid giving the middle finger on the ride
SuperSwaggyGamer456 me every day
He is not putting the middle finger because I went on Thunder hawk before and it’s fast and it looked like he put the middle Finger
He was actually doing the peace sign if you look even closer.
Who else lives in Allentown Pennsylvania like if you do I live there and I love dorny park
Ruby Becerril I live in hatfield
Ruby Becerril me
Ruby Becerril I do I actually have a season. Pass
I do
My grandparents live in Easton sooo really close

Theme Park Crazy can you do former coasters at dorney park
Hj
Theme Park Crazy xD
Theme Park Crazy what about...a non grilled cheese sandwich?
I'm so excited to ride Hydra the next time I go
Steel force, Hydra, and Talon are my favorites
"About as simple as you can get, but then again, so is a grilled cheese sandwich."
The first year I went there was the best, and here's why! My 2 favorite sister's took my on my first ever rollercoaster there! And I am very excited to go again

Absolutely yes for Steelforce at #1. Has always been my favorite coaster since I was just tall enough to ride it.
I don’t really like roller coasters but I went on hydra like four times and I loved it .😂😍 still one of my favorites.
I love Steel Force, it's so relaxing
Great hometown memories going to Dorney! I remember class trips during the spring where we would go on marathons riding all the coasters 4-5 times in a row!
Thanks for your input on the coasters

1. Talon
2. Steel Force
3. Hydra
4. Possessed
5. Stinger
6. Thunderhawk
7. Wild Mouse
8. Woodstock Express
This is my list exactly

The Wild Mouse is actually an enjoyable ride for families, but Thunderhawk is EASILY top 2 most painful rides I've been on. I rode it once and will never ride it again.
chrisloths. I love old 20s coasters, but Thunderhawk was more jerky than fun, and one of my two rides felt really awfully trimmed.
Right! Some of the 50+ year old woodies are really awesome, but Thunderhawk, Green Lantern at SFGAdv and Apocalypse at SFA are three rides I will never go out of my way to ride.
This is my list at Dorney Park (yes I have been there but possessed was closed when I went so I’ll place it how I think it would place):
1. Hydra The Revenge
2. Steel Force
3. Talon
4. Possessed
5. Stinger
6. Woodstock express
Talon, Behemoth, and Orion are my favorite steel coaster color schemes.
I just went to Dorney for the first time last month with some friends. It was a lot of fun! I'm usually not a fan of big roller coasters, especially ones with loops, but they still managed to drag me onto both Hydra and Talon.

Lazer is where stinger was
Dorney Park is truly of gem of the Tri-state area on the east coast.
Definitely on my bucket list for sure!!!...🥰🎢😘😎❤️😍👍🏼👏🏻😀🤩👌🏼💯😄😆😁😮😊☺️😱😃😋😯😲
I agree that Steel Force is the best roller coaster at Dorney Park. My 6 year old loved it too and made me ride it with him 5 times in a row!
The Talon is the reason why i love rollercoasters. The first ride i ride at Dorney every time
So, I’ve lived in the area my entire life, so I’ve been going to Dorney since I was a wee lass, and the first time I was tall enough to ride Steel Force, it STOPPED in the middle of the first hill.

I still love it and know I’m safe on it, but I like to have some security when it does stop. Because it’s often.

I went on all of them and they are all so fun!!!!!! I love them! Especially TALON

I'm coming here during May with my school band on a Friday during a *_SCHOOL_* day
I have season passes to Dorney Park and I love all the rides.
My school takes the chorus and band class here every year, two weeks until the next visit!
Whoa u actually did a Dorney Park coaster countdown. I don't know if I brought it up or something in one of ur videos before but yay. I actually love this park so much it was my first amusement park as a kid. Six Flags may be a big roller coaster theme park but Dorney has that special at home feeling every time.
1. Talon
2. Steel Force
3. ThunderHawk
4. Hydra The Revenge
I love Steel Force too! I remember going on that roller coaster twice in a row!
I was just there yesterday for 5 hours. I got to ride all of the big coasters (no wild mouse or kiddy coasters though) and the skloosh
It rained for 90 minutes and we got free tickets back and then it stopped and the rides reopened with no lines, so I basically get 2 full experiences for the cost of 1
#5: Thunderhawk

#3: Talon
#2: Stell Force
#1: Hydra (I switch 1 and 2 often though)
I went to Dorney Park during Dorney Park Fright and riding the rides at night was very cool
The dark knight coaster Is so fun! It's the first big coaster I went on.
I’m going here on August 27th. I’m sooooo excited!!!!😍
Edit: I loved this video! I just subscribed.
I'm going to dorney park this Friday thanks for the information
My first ever roller coaster was steel force. My grandmother and brother literally forced and peer pressured me onto it. Although it was really scary I survived and I now enjoy going on roller coasters whenever I have the chance to go to a theme park.
Was jus here over the weekend, fire..talon was super dope, and Woodstock express was chills I guess with my 4yr old daughter it was too whiplashy but she liked it lol
Hydra was my first roller coaster when I was 8 or 9 and will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
I can’t wait go!
Rode all of them :) been there alot of times, it's a rlly fun place
Dude I got to see Ben when I was there he's so energetic and kind.
Same he was high fiving people it was awesome
Steel Force is still one of my favorite rides, mostly for the memories I have of it. My father and I would ride it every time we went and after he passed, I started that tradition with my son, making Steel Force his first rollercoaster.
Meg Cush same
This is my homepark and i love it!
AAA im going there next week and im very exited to ride all of those!! (except for woodstock express)
Went to Dorney for the first time this summer I only live 2 hours away but I live 10 minutes from knoebels so I go there all the time , but I had a blast I was there from open till close that day and there were no were no lines when I went and was glad! only thing that was weird to me and never saw before was that certain rides would be closed for like 2 hours then open again and then close and then open idk if they didn’t have enough workers there or what that was so weird I just had to keep looking every hour to see if it was open or not yet but I loved it there so much!
Wicked twister is a treat
I very much enjoy Dorney Park. I live in Philly so the 2 closest amusement parks near me are Dorney and Six Flags GA. Dorney offers thrilling coasters for guests so if you are a coaster junkie like me, this is the place for you.
ahhahha i see what you did there with the grill cheese 😂😂😂
THIS PARK IS AMAZING. I WENT THERE YESTERDAY THE ROLLER COASTERS R EVERYTHING
Carisa right
POSSESSED LAUNCHING BACKWARDS IS FREAKING TERRIFYING!!! I was like OMFG!!!THOSE KINDS OF NOT FULL CIRCUIT COASTERS ARE SCARY AF!!! 😱
I went to Dorney with my band and it was so good
Nice!
Dorney = My home theme park. I go there every year for free and I love it.
Hydra was the first coaster I rode with inversions. I remember the first cork screw you go through I was laughing my ass off
Raptor and montu are my favs. Montu is number 1 for me.
ben went to my high school, he really is such an amazing dude.
Ben went to the same high school I went to! This man, is without a doubt, one of the nicest people I've ever meet, we are actually really good friends and often talk about roller coasters and theme parks!
If you like steel force that much you should ride phantoms revenge at Kennywood
phantoms revenge is the worst hyper in Pennsylvania
Psyclone500 TV when it was steel phantom
even after the conversion from steel phantom to phantoms revenge, its still Pennsylvania worst hyper
Psyclone500 TV well it my favorite hyper
Psyclone500 TV have you even ridden it
Possessed my favorite ride, it fits bigger riders.
Possessed features an excellent logo with a skeleton skull!
I LOVE DORNEY PARK!!!!
Thunder hawk can be really rough depending on where you sit. Bank is the worst. Always gave me headaches. You want to be as close to the front as possible
The only ride that I’d put on here is Meteor. Something about that ride makes me nuts.
Talon is so well designed
I used to have season passes to this park and my first ever upside down roller coaster was Talon and it’s my favorite at dorney
I am going to Dorney Park this summer! IS SO FUN! You should go there,
I got a little airtime back row on Rougarou which in my opinion is the best row to sit in
OH MY GOSH I HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIKE 2015 OR 14 BUT I REMBER OMG
1-hydra 2-talon 3-possessed 4-Steel Forceless 5-thunderhawk 6-wild mouse
I thought it was hilarious to see you riding the Woodstock coaster
I go to Dorney Park with my overnight camp every year (I’ve been going for 3 years). This year, I went on steel force 8 times because I liked it too much
I haven't been to Dorney in a very long time, since Hydra first opened. Maybe they smoothed it out since but I absolutely hated Hydra when it opened.

You'd get your head banged from side to side so bad you totally forgot you where even on a coaster at all while you desperately tried to keep your head pressed back to stop the torturous head banging.
When I went to dorney my seat belt unbuckled right before the drop and I was terrified but I got it buckled right on time before the drop.
I don't care what roller coaster I could ride any roller coaster all day
I live like 5 minutes away from dorney and its great
Hydra was my first roller coaster and then Talon
Have you been to SF great America? And if so did you make a top rollercoasters video on it?
great list, heres my top 6
1-Steel Force
2-Talon
3-Hydra
4-stinger
5-Possessed
6-thunderhawk
My favorites would have to be talon, thunderhawk, and the hydra. And the others are great! R.I.P stinger.
I went there yesterday and Ben great every one greatly
have you ever been to hershey park if not you should go its great
I’m going there on wednesday, rides look pretty cool
Fun fact Ben still works there to this day I work with him he is a really nice person
I am going there Wednesday sooooooooo excited
My sister went on Stinger with her friends while I rode Steel Force and the restraint on her friends seat broke during the ride. The shut it down for matinence after their ride. She's happy it's being removed
They really need a new coaster. One that's big enough to fill in the spaces of Stinger and Dinosaur's Alive.
Dorney Park is underrated tbh
My Personal List:
8. Woodstock Express
7. Wild Mouse
6. Thunderhawk
5. Stinger
4. Possesed
3. Hydra
2. Talon
1. Steel Force
my fav is talon
Baudilio R. Possessed before hudra
i know you made this in 2017 but i am saying this in 2019 but in 12 days its my birthday aka july 12 and we are going to dorney park the waterpark and the part you are filming i cant wait to check it out myself!
I rode wild mouse this week and I yelled and I love steel force
my top 5 at dorney. I'm visiting the park Friday. I live in harrisburg now. But, was raised on Dorney. I'm from Macungie - bout 10 mins away. 1. Talon 2. Possessed. 3. demon drop. 4. steel force 5. Hydra and honorable mention- pirate ship that flips back and forth across from the talon coaster. I don't recall the name of the attraction.
Zamperla = rough ride. The tickler at Coney Island destroys your back.
What's simpler than Grilled cheese and Possesed? Goliath!!! (The New England version) it's just a rougher boomerang, but inverted, so yea...
