点评:This was my first trip to Dorney Park and I was pleasantly surprised. The price was reasonable compared to other amusement parks. On arrival, the parking area was a bit rough. There was no tram to take you to the park entrance but even from the back of the park, the walk was not far. At the back of the parking lot, there are picnic tables should you wish to exit the park, picnic and then re-enter the park. The line to get into the park in the morning was minimal and entry was fairly quick. The park did not provide paper maps however there are signs with maps on them and also a QR code to their app.
Overall, we really enjoyed our day at Dorney Park. The lines for most of the rides move fairly quick and were not too long. The two rides that we found had long lines that prevented us from riding them were the river Rapids, thunder Canyon, and the small cars on tracks. We spent the majority of our time riding the roller coasters. Our favorite coaster was steel force. Hydra and Talon tie for second place. Thunderhawk is the classic wooden coaster and we found it very rough. iron menace is the new coaster for 2024. We rode in the back row and found the ride to be incredibly rough. Neither of us enjoyed the ride. We also rode Woodstock express in Camp Snoopy… The kiddie coaster. We also found it to be rough. We did not ride possessed or the wild mouse as they did not really appeal to us. Not technically a coaster, but has tracks, I tried the demon drop. It was an interesting ride, but the backwards launch from the end of the track was also rough.
The park has a bunch of classic rides in addition to the coasters. We enjoyed the music express, the standard log flume, the whip, the tilt-a-whirl and the carousel. We also rode the two small trains in the park. Both trains are very small and very slow. I wish they had a larger train ride that went around the entire park and was faster.
Although we do not have little kids, we did venture through Camp Snoopy. I was really impressed with this section of the park. It was colorful and very well done in terms of theme. if you are a peanuts fan it is worth a walk-through. They even have a nice little gift shop there that is peanuts/snoopy themed. I thought they had a nice selection of rides for a little kids, more than most. I would say I believe they had a show with the characters three times that day, but we did not end up catching one of them.
Food in the park was kind of pricey. Most meals whether it be pizza chicken tenders or burgers ran around $17. however I will say that we really did enjoy our double cheeseburgers, chicken tenders fries and mac & cheese that we got at the diner. for the price we paid, we got a decent serving size and really good food for an amusement park.
We tried to go back and ride the log flume around 6 PM and found that the ride was closed. We also found a few other rides closed around this time. I felt that perhaps they did not have enough staff in the evening to keep all of the rides open. This was kind of disappointing. They did keep the large boat ride & the river rapids open for anyone who wanted to get wet however, the smaller log flume was closed.
Also around this time of 6 PM., We noticed the lines for rides started to get longer. This is probably because the waterpark closed at 6 PM and those visitors ventured out to the rides.
Overall, I felt Dorney Park was a very nice theme park. It was clean and attractive. I liked that they had flowers and landscaping throughout the park instead of it just being a concrete slab. There was a nice selection of rides ranging from mild to high thrill. I liked how the rides were mixed throughout the park… Meaning that a tilt of whirl may be next to a large roller coaster. So you could ride the scrambler and then hop in line for the wooden coaster, I liked how this was integrated. This enabled me to ride classic carnival rides rides with my kids, giving me a break between the larger coasters, without having to zigzag the park. I also liked that the park had mini rides that they have maintained despite them being older rides. For example, the carousel was built in 1921 and the thunder hawk turned 100 years this year 2024.
I would recommend this park and will most likely return myself.
翻译:这是我第一次去 Dorney Park,我感到很惊喜。与其他游乐园相比,这里的价格合理。到达后,停车场有点简陋。没有电车带你到公园入口,但即使从公园后面走也不远。停车场后面有野餐桌,如果你想离开公园,野餐,然后重新进入公园。早上进入公园的队伍很少,而且入口相当快。公园没有提供纸质地图,但有标有地图的标志,还有他们应用程序的二维码。
总的来说,我们在 Dorney Park 度过了非常愉快的一天。大多数游乐设施的排队速度都相当快,而且不太长。我们发现有两个游乐设施的队伍很长,让我们无法乘坐,它们是河流急流、雷霆峡谷和轨道上的小型汽车。我们大部分时间都在玩过山车。我们最喜欢的过山车是钢铁力量。Hydra 和 Talon 并列第二。 Thunderhawk 是经典的木制过山车,我们发现它非常粗糙。iron menace 是 2024 年的新过山车。我们坐在后排,发现乘坐起来非常颠簸。我们俩都不喜欢这次过山车。我们还在史努比营乘坐了伍德斯托克快车……儿童过山车。我们也发现它很颠簸。我们没有乘坐着魔或野鼠,因为它们对我们没有吸引力。从技术上讲不是过山车,但有轨道,我尝试了恶魔坠落。这是一个有趣的游乐设施,但从轨道末端向后发射也很颠簸。
除了过山车外,公园还有许多经典游乐设施。我们喜欢音乐快车、标准激流勇进、鞭子、旋转木马和旋转木马。我们还乘坐了公园里的两列小火车。两列火车都很小,速度也很慢。我希望他们有更大的火车,可以绕着整个公园转一圈,而且速度更快。
虽然我们没有带小孩,但我们还是去了史努比营。公园的这个部分给我留下了深刻的印象。它色彩缤纷,主题设计得非常好。如果你是花生迷,那值得一去。他们甚至有一个以花生/史努比为主题的精美小礼品店。我认为他们为小孩子提供的游乐设施比大多数都多。我想说我相信他们那天有三次与角色一起表演的节目,但我们最终没有看到其中一次。
公园里的食物有点贵。大多数餐点,无论是披萨、鸡柳还是汉堡,价格都在 17 美元左右。不过我要说的是,我们真的很喜欢我们在餐厅吃的双层芝士汉堡、鸡柳薯条和奶酪通心粉。就我们支付的价格而言,我们得到了一份不错的份量,而且对于游乐园来说,食物真的很不错。
我们试图在下午 6 点左右回去乘坐滑水道,但发现滑水道已经关闭。我们还发现,这段时间其他几个游乐设施也关闭了。我觉得他们可能晚上没有足够的工作人员来保持所有游乐设施的开放。这有点令人失望。他们确实为任何想玩水的人开放了大型游船和激流,但较小的滑水道关闭了。
此外,在下午 6 点左右,我们注意到游乐设施的排队开始变长。这可能是因为水上乐园在下午 6 点关闭,那些游客冒险去玩游乐设施。
总的来说,我觉得多尼公园是一个非常好的主题公园。它干净而迷人。我喜欢他们在整个公园里种满鲜花和景观,而不仅仅是一块混凝土板。有各种各样的游乐设施,从温和到高度刺激。我喜欢游乐设施在整个公园的混合方式……这意味着旋转木马可能紧挨着大型过山车。所以你可以先乘坐爬坡机,然后排队乘坐木制过山车,我喜欢这种整合方式。这样,我就可以和孩子们一起乘坐经典的嘉年华游乐设施,让我在乘坐大型过山车之间休息一下,而不必在公园里曲折穿行。我还喜欢公园里有迷你游乐设施,尽管它们比较老旧,但他们仍然保留了下来。例如,旋转木马建于 1921 年,雷鹰今年 2024 年迎来 100 周年。
我会推荐这个公园,而且很有可能自己再来。
