ahh, the greatness of not having to wait in lines. if you like that, head over to dorney park. after driving around my town for about 30 minutes going from one AAA store from the other trying to buy tickets, we were on our way. we got to the park at 11:30 and were quickly inside. i went with my mom, her friend, and her friends two daughters(both my age). the two moms went off to the waterpark while we went to the rides. in order:
Thunderhawk - 7/10
this is a small wooden coaster with some really good airtime. there are tons of small trim brakes all over the ride which reduces A LOT of airtime, but there is still enough. no wait.
Laser - 7/10
this quick little double looping schwarzkopf is very fun. it is INTENSE!!! i blacked out on both loops!!! its very short, but still a fun ride. waited about 5 minutes.
Steel Force - 7/10
hmm...another 7/10 coaster. for the stats that this coaster has, it really sucks! we sat in the 3rd row out of 18 so we were in the way front. the top of the hill gives so much hang time but it really sucks since the hill is like the unsteepest it can be. there is very little airtime but at least the helix is intense. i gave it a 7/10 because for a coaster that goes 75 mph, you cant really give it lower than a 7. we waited about 2 minutes.
Dominator(up) - 7/10 (s&s double tower)
not much to say about this. gives great airtime at the top. fun but short. waited about 2 minutes.
Joker - 4/10
yeah ok, this is a stupid magic carpet ride that the two girls wanted to go on so....yeah.

Meteor - 10/10
yeah, this 10 is for flat ride standards. easily this is the best flat ride i've ever been on.
picture waited about 5 minutes
Hurcules - 1/10
last time i rode this i gave it a 3/10, i was being nice last time. i see nothing that is right with this coaster. the 157 ft drop sucks because of the brake. the awesome layout sucks because of an incredible amount of roughness and lots of trims. the coaster is ruined by its roughness. i give it a 1 because its nice to look at. waited about 5 minutes. this is now my worst coaster(passing viper).
Wild Mouse - 6/10
this is a nice fune ride. its kinda short but its pretty good. i waited about 7 minutes.
now the two girls went to the waterpark so i was alone to finally ride talon(they were scared of it).
Talon - 9/10
this coaster is awesome. its fast, intense, great paced, quiet, everything you could want. i dont have much more to say. 10 minute wait.
i rode dominator up again with a 0 second wait(i went right to the seat without waiting). i then went back to steel force and i saw it was closed (it was also closed for a few minutes earlier) but they were testing it so i decided to sit on a bench right next to the enterance. there were about 35 people waiting right in front. it opened about 3 minutes after i got there so i went on to the front row for a 2 train wait. the speed is really awesome in the front with the wind but the hang time on the first hill sucks. i went right back on to the 17th(out of 18) row so i can see how the back is. the hill is much better since you get whipped right over. other than that, its the same.
i then went back to laser and i got right on the train (there were only like 6 people in my train). i then got right onto dominator down with a 1 minute wait. then i went to metor for another 30 second wait ride. again, an awesome ride. now it started raining so i quickly went over to talon to get one more ride and i waited about 5 minutes. it was now 4:00 and was raining pretty hard so we left.
TOTALS:
steel force: 3x
talon: 2x
laser: 2x
hurcules: 1x
wild mouse: 1x
thunderhawk: 1x
dominator: 3x
meteor: 2x
joker: 1x
16 rides in 4 1/2 hours. pretty nice trip if you ask me.
