SFNE vs. Dorney

now before I get barricaded with wtfs, let me explain.

Sfne, in my opinion, is extremely similar to dorney.

heres how I see it:

Both have attatched water parks

both have tall coasters that are close in hight

both have roughly the same amount of coasters.

both are chains
and the list goes on

heres how I would go about it
Sros vs. Steel force-both hypers (or whatever intamin calls their version)
Batman dark knight vs. Hydra-B&M floorless
Mr. Six vs. the wild mouse well their small steel coasters with somthing separating them from kiddies.
Poison ivy vs. the woodstock express-kiddies, the bigger ones of the parks
great chase vs. dragon-smaller kiddies
Flashback vs. Lazer: old school loopers
Thunderbolt vs. thunderhawk-tough one, but their both small woodies with the word "thunder" in their name.
Talon vs. mind eraser-inverted
Cyclone vs. the old hercules- this one is a bit wierd, its the only thing i could do (out of coasters, and no more woods)
Scream vs. Dominator


Here's my vote:

Sros vs. SF: I'll go with Superman on this one, because it is one of my all time favorites. it also produces great airtime, and is much smoother. Special FX also helped it win this one, fog is cool!

Hydra/Batman: I'll go with hydra. batman DK did nothing for me. Hydra is bold and new, and that 0 g roll was one of the craziest things i've ever been through. It is also origional, in that it has no real 360 loops, just other inverting elements.

Mr. six/WM: Six gets this one. I like spinners better. I also feel DP's Wild mouse was a rip, and did nothing but waste my time waiting in a line for ever!

Talon/mind eraser: Easily talon. Eraser is a clone of a ride that was no good to begin with. Talon is a great B&M masterpeice of an inverter and holds the rank as one of my alltime favorites!

Flashback/Lazer: lazer, because there is too many boomerangs, and the Sidewinder would solve any needs for a boomerang in Penn.

Thunders: hard one. I think that Bolt wins this because hawk is old had, and all it does is bang me around like a togo.

Ivy/stock: Ivy, well....... it's bigger!

chase/dragon: chase, i guess it has more drops, but little lazer is about the same. (ps. Irefuse to pit Little lazer against Cyclone, cause thats just silly!)

Cyclone vs. Hercules: easy, cyclone. what a ride it is. the "cy" is also still around while Herc is long gone.

Scream and Dom: Scream. I don't know it just seems so fun!

let's tally up the votes, and the winner is............

Six flags (wow! i never expected that one, perhaps I should reconsider)

When we take cleanlyness into account, DP gets another vote

SFNE: 7
Dp: 6

And now we'll see about the staff:

Six flags's staff (sorry to say), Is impossiable to deal with. it took a half hour for me to figure out where Thunderbolt's fastlane was due to incomprehension. the majority of ops also seemed dull, and like they wished they were somewhere else, with the exception of the M eraser guy, he was kinda funny.

SF:7
DP: 7

Can we break the tie?

Crowds, sorry to say this goes to SF. Dp during july 4th ruined that for me!

SF: 8
DP: 7

Now we'll take in to account maitenence: Dorney gets this one, because of the numerous problems in NE. first of all, there was the Superman Chrash. I never heard of any chrashes in DP (does not mean they are non-existant). SF has all this crappy cursing graffity every where (especially kids areas!), the resteraunts are infested with spiders, there's cracks in every wall, they constantly close down rides, loss staff, and everything in the Superhero grill is broken.

Tied again, SF: 8 DP: 8

Now the final tie breaker, yup, it's them waterparks.

Hurricane harbor vs. Wildwater kingdom: WWK, has one of the best collections of waterslides I've ever seen, possiably the most in Pennsylvania. the feeling of falling off the aquablast is really cool! however, SFHH, mass, has two, maby three slides DP lacks. The tornado, and a Watercoaster slide. Tornado type rides have to be my favorite type of slide. the watercoaster is a rarity, and a great concept. They also have a giant body slide, but I can't comment since I never whent on it.
If it wheren't for that one little detail, Dorney would have pulled ahead, but alas :sick: , the victory goes to

;party; [SIZE="4"][FONT="Impact"][COLOR="Red"]SIX FLAGS NEW ENGLAND[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE];party;

:eek: :rolleyes: :mad: ;) :flip: :devil:

Oh my! I never thought this would happen.

sorry for the long article, what's your vote and why.:)

I like SFNE better,even though Dorney is a little bit closer to me(travelwise). My first floorless coaster experience was at SFNE(Batman The Dark Knight).

I would have to go with SFNE. I really like Dorney but SFNE just does more for me. I absolutely love SROS while SF is just ok. Overall I just have to go with SFNE.

I gotta go with Dorney. Steel force is one of the most amazing coasters currently in operation. although it is getting older, I believe it still provides. Hydra and Talon are also both great B&M's and Talon is in my top 3 inverteds behind raptor and Batman. Another reason hwy I'm choosing Dorney is because I haven't been to SFNE. lol, I guess it reallt isn't fair, but form what I've seen and heard about SFNE, they are quite similar.

Sros vs. Steel force-both hypers (or whatever intamin calls their version)
SROS is by far a better coaster then SF

Batman dark knight vs. Hydra-B&M floorless
Both Hydra and BDK suck.. But Ill go with tame Hydra over rought BDK

Mr. Six vs. the wild mouse well their small steel coasters with somthing
separating them from kiddies.
Both coasters are very different... I wouldnt really call MrSix a mouse... But Ill go with WildMouse

Poison ivy vs. the woodstock express-kiddies, the bigger ones of the parks
Ok.... PITT is a 40 foot family coaster... A very big ride... The 2 rides a very very different... But as for what one is a better ride... PITT is.

great chase vs. dragon-smaller kiddies
Ill go with TGE on this one.. Just because its longer.

Flashback vs. Lazer: old school loopers
2 very different rides.... But ill go with Laser...

Thunderbolt vs. thunderhawk-tough one, but their both small woodies with the word "thunder" in their name.
Hmmm... Thunderbolt SFNE without the trims.

Talon vs. mind eraser-inverted
lol.. Talon

Cyclone vs. the old hercules- this one is a bit wierd, its the only thing i could do (out of coasters, and no more woods)
Cyclone in the backseat > almost any other coaster...

Scream vs. Dominator
S&S towers suck.

I found this interesting that people call Batman The Dark knight Rough. I sat in the back, and after it was over I was like, That's It?

To me, it's one of the smoothest rides in the park (especially behind the Vekomas, and Cyclone)
