 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Dornie Park in Wild Water Kingdom in Allentown, Pennsylvania This is one of the oldest theme parks in America opening up in 1884 and to this day they have some unique amazing Attractions including the demon drop and steel force and we're gonna hang out eat some food ride some rides and have a beautiful Dornie Park kind of day any hoos Let's go do this This is technically two parks for the price of one We have Wild Water Kingdom on one side and then Dornie Park on the other and it's about $70 to get in but I'm sure you could find some deals and discounts online. You just have to look for them This is my 20th theme park for the year 2022 I have been to 20 theme parks in a year so far and I still have over a half a year left And I think that is so crazy. I'm lucky enough that I have like 13 theme parks within an hour of me down in Florida But it's great to be up here in Pennsylvania in New Jersey. We've already done cannobals Hershey Six Flags great adventure and now Dornie. I came here when I was younger and I haven't been back probably in at least 10 years So I'm happy to be here today Dornie Park is also home to planet Snoopy so I'm excited to see if we can find any other peanuts characters I'm really hoping we get to see Snoopy, but what about Charlie Brown or Linus? I think that would be amazing to see those characters just roaming around Of course, I got Bon Bon with me here today I wish my mom can come out But the only part that she really likes to go to was cannobals and she wasn't feeling good that day So she wasn't able to come but we'll be seeing her probably a little bit later on in other videos While I visit, you know, Pennsylvania just to say you know, I miss my mom I wanted to come out to the parks, but she don't like it so much I'm also excited to try some good food here. They do have some iconic eats here Including coasters drive-in and a couple of other spots. So we'll wait a little bit later on to that Now I think we're gonna go ride a roller coaster Last time I visited this park like I said was such a long time ago But I remember riding steel force and thinking it was such an amazing coaster So I think we're gonna start off with that ride today Bonnie has never been here This is our first time coming and like I said, there is a water park, too So we're gonna maybe ride some water rides, but I'm a little afraid because of the temperature It is like 60s and 70 degree weather and it's very windy out like so. I don't know how I'm gonna hit I don't know how I'm gonna manage Earlier I was talking about wanting to see the characters from Peanuts And they actually have times for all the characters that are out meeting and greeting with guests as you can see Snoopy started off the day at 11 a.m. And then they have Lucy pig pen It's 1 p.m. Now and Sally is here. Look at Sally right there You actually get up to take photos and then I think at 1 30 pig pens coming out. Hi Sally That is really awesome. I want to see Snoopy though Snoopy. He's got to be on my list So next time he's here at 3 o'clock 3 o'clock bond 3 o'clock Planet Snoopy is just an area for the kids But I think we have to cut through it to actually get to the tallest roller coaster in the park Which is steel force steel force is really an amazing roller coaster And it has like a grim reaper as a character and I would love to see him on about today. That'd be amazing. I Do have to say though for a kid's area. I think it's really well themed over here Look at it. It's really really nice. They have tons of different Snoopy or peanuts themed rides And I like that happiness is pitching a strike As you can see from right here, we've got some very tall Rides that we have demon drop over here Which is one of the most unique rides and probably my most excited ride Then we've got the dominator here and then steel force in the background We've a lot to look forward to today bond a lot you've been getting a lot of roller coasters in all right some things You never thought you'd be able to ride. I'm so happy Dornie Park has a good mixture of thrill rides and roller coasters and also family-friendly rides And one of them that I'm very excited to ride is the Zephyr railroad. Oh, I think it's coming out Thanks there Here comes the Zephyr railroad as we speak Look at this. It's like a monorail like looking train. I love it. I cannot wait to ride this I Get so excited over the littlest rides Bonnie She's looking at me like what the heck look at this. That's amazing. Hi. Have a good trip We'll get to the family-friendly rides a little bit later on right now Like I said, I want to head on over to steel force and get the heart pumping You know you do like the thrilling rides to get you all excited for the day and no better way than the steel force The name itself just gives me chills steel force look at that I am so excited to ride this ride. It goes up pretty pretty high there right here You can see it look at that the slow climb up and then the big drop The rides here at Dorney park you cannot bring your camera on so Dorney park was nice enough to supply me with some POV Footage some stock footage of the ride so I can show you guys what it's like and I always love that And here we go front row. I am so excited Also, is that a haunted house down there? Yeah, it looks like a little haunted house underneath the steel force Track, I mean that would be cool. I have to check that out later Such a fun ride right at first when you're like starting to actually take off It kind of like teeters a little bit and it gets your heart like pounding and then that first drop you go down To that tunnel there. I loved it and then when you're going over the rolling hills You're really coming out of your seat like I was almost standing up. You yelled at you But you really it's fun. That is amazing Bravo steel force Bravo Look at our faces look at body space right here Such a fun ride as We made our way out though I wanted to look at this and it does look like this is some kind of haunted walkthrough attraction But it's not open at the moment Looks like the change wrong. Maybe this is a seasonal thing But that'd be cool to go through I like seeing the pumpkins in there and from the back side You could see the big show building so it must be pretty massive pretty big in there So far being here at Dorney Park just for a little bit I've really noticed how clean it is like it is very beautiful here the scenery the walkways You see people constantly sweeping and the trash isn't overfilled. I'm loving Dorney Park like it's very very nice Right next to steel floors. They have Thunder Hawk Thunder Hawk sounds like something from Cobra Kai and it's a wooden roller coaster And I think we're gonna go ride it. I wouldn't mind you guys know I love wooden roller coasters. They actually scare me. Thank you One of the things I appreciate is how they have little descriptions about some of the rides that you actually go on Right here. This is Tony about coasters and Thunder Hawk coasters open in 1924 that's insane. The length is 2,969 feet the height is 72 feet 65 foot drop and it goes 45 miles per hour And there's some rides here that are over a hundred years old this one right here is close to it I mean honestly, I think this is two years away. This is 98 coasters is 98 years old Holy moldy now, I don't know if this is the same thing as Thunder Hawk that looks like it and maybe they just renamed it I'm almost a hundred percent positive that this was originally called the coaster and then they changed the name to Thunder Hawk So that means we're gonna be riding almost a hundred-year-old wooden roller coaster almost a hundred years old crazy, right? Okay, once we got a little bit further in the queue then we find out that yeah the coaster was renamed Thunder Hawk in 1989 but it has been around for 98 years 98 years 98 years is a long time for a roller coaster, but it's not the oldest roller coaster It's in like the top five oldest roller coasters. I think the oldest roller coaster is in Pennsylvania though It is leap the dips and it's an Altoona, Pennsylvania, and that opened up in 1902 1902 that's crazy. It's 120 years old 120 year old roller coaster And we are up next front row. Are you excited Bon Bon? Are you excited for Demon Drop behind you? Look at that. That is one of the scariest rides in existence, and we're gonna ride it today Like it's not what you would think it is it is very unique And I don't think I don't even think there's many of them in anything parks around the world And here we go front row I Love that ride too. It hurt a little bit though You know how wooden roller coasters actually, you know toss you around a little bit now It's not the biggest and the the tallest wooden roller coaster, but I love it I love the fact that it's 98 years old and it's still like making people smile and scream to this day But since we're over in this general direction I think we should do the demon drop and take a look at this watch It's about to drop and it drops not in a way that you would think That is crazy you end up on your back and then it has to drop you down here It's like Tower of Terror except for you end up on your back like upside down Like that's crazy to even think about it and Tower of Terror is controlled this it's just a free fall Literally a free fall into a slide. I Am not even kidding. I am slightly terrified for my life right now. I can't believe we're doing this. Oh I'm excited but terrified I hope I don't die right now I Honestly ate my heart What yeah, when we dropped I felt my heart come up that was so thrilling and scary But I loved it so much at the same time. I definitely do it again Like everybody's screaming whenever they do it and wow I don't know how much you could have saw cuz I couldn't bring my camera on I had to put everything away and I set it up on the outside just to see us like go up in the air But wow and also I set all my stuff in my hat and somebody spilled their soda So now my hat is literally a bunch of Sprite and a ball Now that the demon drop business is taken care of and let me tell you something that was frightening like so frightening I noticed this little house over here and it said Al Fondo Al Fondo's house and someone said just wait around here for a minute and you'll see something scary Oh my lord Is that Al Fondo coming through that door right there? Is that what that is? Wow? That is awesome Well, look at this. That is Al Fondo. I Feel like I need to give you a little backstory to Al Fondo here Al Fondo was actually the entrance Well, he was a big gigantic clown that was at the entrance of Thunder Hawk in the 1960s and 70s at that time clowns were very popular and he was there was just gigantic juggling cloud in there And obviously they took him away, but it was such an iconic thing that they have his own character meet and greet in front of the Thunder Hawk Hello Al Fondo How are you having a good day? Yeah, I had to come over and say hi be I got very excited. I just got off Thunder Hawk Yeah, Thunder Hawk Yeah Al Fondo was there because Al Fondo used to be out front right used to be the the entrance way I like it. Well, thanks pal. Can we take a photo? Yeah, all right Well, that was a fun little surprise. I liked Al Fondo. He is cute. He's fun There is a lot of people with a clown phobia So I don't think they were to like that too much and it's funny We just did the demon drop and then we went to go meet a clown named Al Fondo as We were down there meeting Al Fondo. I remembered Snoopy comes out at 3 p.m So we ran all the way back up here so we can go get Snoopy Bonnie are you excited? There's Snoopy. There he is. Oh Snoopy. Oh, I love your vest Looks very nice. Very very fancy. Are you having a good day? Yeah? I'm so excited to see you in the park. I was looking for Charlie Brown around. Have you seen him? No, not today. Well, that's awesome. Well, can we take a photo? Yeah, awesome It was war's running back up here with Snoopy. Snoopy is so fun But now I think we need to get something to eat. Maybe chicken and Pete's a little Pennsylvania staple Chicky and Pete's ESPN's number one sports bar in North America and it's home to the famous Crab fries Crab fries Crab fries crab treats Grand Tree Let's see if we can find ourselves a table in here. It looks really really busy The only time I've ever eaten at a Chicky and Pete's was either in Hershey Park or at the airport at the Philadelphia International Airport, so it's fun to sit down in an actual restaurant and our booth actually has an ale Fondo Neon light so that's why I got that neon line, but like Al Fondo, but ale Fondo Look at that it's ale Fondo I thought that was just a joke, but they actually have an ale Fondo beer on draft, so I'm getting it I'm getting the ale Fondo Here it is Dornie Park's own ale Fondo cheers bonbon ale Fondo Cheers Oh That's good very fun very happy very happy ale And here is our little feast. We've got the world famous Cutlets and these are the buffalo cutlets. Then we've got some buffalo bites We've got a pizza burger and of course the crab fries Cheers Comes with a little cheese dip on the side there. You like that cheese though. Don't you bond? Yeah, good cheese The reason they call them crab fries is because they used to only serve crowd during certain season and At that time the owner didn't know what to do with all the leftover spices Spices, so he ended up putting them on french fries and handing them out and people loved them They have that seasoning on there and it is like a very strong strong seasoning, but they've just become legendary legendary seasoning Now we're gonna try some of the legendary buffalo cutlets. Oh, look at that steam piping off there I hope they're not too spicy, but we're gonna give them a go anyway. Here we go They're good Now we're gonna go from buffalo chicken cutlets to buffalo boneless bites There we go. I'm gonna grab this one right over here That's the stuff right there and this is mild very very mild I'm gonna see if I like the cutlets more than the bites, but I really tend to love bites a little bit more These are a little bit spicier I like the cutlets Bonbons point out that you can really see the difference in the sauces there Now we're gonna actually jump over to the pizza burger This has got some mozzarella some pizza sauce a little bit of everything there I do love me pizza burgers, so here we go Mmm That's a good burger Overall, I gotta say I really do like chicken and pizza. It's good stuff. It's good stuff Chicky and Pete's was very delicious and I like just kind of sitting in there It's really relaxed to be able to have like a sports bar in the middle of a theme park and right next to Chicky and Pete's they have Hydra the revenge and what better way to Digest a big meal than ride a roller coaster. So I think we can head over to Hydra Here it is Hydra the revenge and I love the sign actually look there it goes We're about to head on in right now. I'm excited. This is bright. I like colorful roller coasters I don't even know why I just think it's really fun. This one's purple and green Cut off one head two more grow back in its place Really didn't do good for my stomach after eating that chicken Pete's So I think we need to maybe head back down and ride the Zephyr a little bit of a slow ride Also, I want to point out this this whole park is basically built on a hill isn't it? Like there's like hills everywhere, so it's easy to actually go down it but climbing back up I mean it is it's I mean it's a climb So I highly suggest if you plan on visiting the park to do the stuff That's down at the bottom of the park first get it all done and then walk back up We made a mistake and now we're going up and down the hill up and down the hill And be still my heart I think Morgan the mascot for steel force is actually out meeting people right now Just out before where we saw Alfonzo. I think Morgan the steel force is there, so we have to run over And here Morgan is look at this steel force. I love it. You actually look very nice Thank you. That is very awesome. Well, thank you. I love steel force and I like you too Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I made your blush. Very cool. Can we do a photo? Yeah Bonnie wanted to come in see Morgan. You're gonna get a photo here That's the way that's terrifying. I Love it. Thanks Morgan. Oh wait one more here for you on your own. I love it. Thank you pal My day is officially complete now that I got to meet Morgan That was amazing. How cool is that? What an awesome character? And here it is the Zephyr railroad hurry up Bonnie. We got a train to catch As we're sitting here waiting for the Zephyr to get back Morgan's out there playing cornhole with a bunch of kids That's so crazy. Oh, the Zephyr is coming right now. I Said the train kept the rolling all night long train kept the rolling all night long This is such a small cabin We got our own little cabin here Bonnie Oh, it's a little squeaky We're on a bridge bridge. Oh They have a little cars ride here, too Kind of like the Tomorrowland Speedway Hello That was a nice little scenic stroll through the park. I liked it a lot You got to see a lot of stuff I didn't know and it was really cool that they gave you a lot of history of the park as you were taking the train ride around They had all these different billboards like telling you like old attractions that they had they actually had a like 20,000 leagues under the sea attraction here something like that I've seen I don't know what it was But I wish I could find out more information. I'm gonna look around for it Now we're gonna go play that ring toss game because I want to see if you win me a giraffe I mean, I don't think it's gonna happen again, but what would be the chances? What are the chances? I don't know why I'm saying what are the chances wouldn't it be what are the odds? Yeah, what are the odds, but what are the chances? All right, Bonnie, it's your time to shine again. I've got faith in you and this actually you get a prize automatically Let's see what you got there champ She got it in her hair to this time. I don't think looks on your side today, Bonnie You do got quite a bit to go though. Oh, oh, oh that was a close one You almost hit the same spot again One left. Oh, well you did good. You did good, but you got a consolation prize Well, Bonnie your streak is broken. You're not the ring toss queen. I thought you were But I mean it is a challenging game though It like Bonnie getting that was such a crazy Coincidence like honestly it still blows my mind if you guys don't know Bonnie won that ring toss game at Hershey Park and got a Gigantic charge art for me. Was that Hershey Park? No, it was that Six Flags Great America So if you guys will watch that video great adventure. Yeah, you guys go watch that video. She actually made it She won she like she got the ring on the bottle and she won this gigantic charge art for me But today just wasn't there for us wasn't in our cards After a little ring toss and a little fun at Wild Water Kingdom I think it's dinner time and we made our way back out to coasters Coasters Drive-In and I'm even too sure what they got here. I mean, I don't I don't know what they're offering But we're gonna find out. Oh Oh, I Like it hand breaded chicken tenders. Oh, I'm all about that. I like this place Looks like you can get hamburgers cheeseburgers Country fried steak looks like that's a little chicken pot pie there some ham breaded chicken tenders French fries onion rings mac and cheese vegetables I don't even know what that is though, but a lot of good stuff. I Think we're gonna go with some ham breaded chicken tendies and French fries. Oh, yeah, look at that That's the way As we were in the coasters drive-in I was able to find a picture of Alfonzo Actually at Thunderhawk roller coaster and right here. It was this is an actual picture from like the 1970s And that was the entrance way to get in the Thunderhawk. How funny is that? That is crazy, right? Can't go wrong with the little hand breaded chicken tendies Yo, look at these little guys. That is a chicken tender and we're going for it. Oh, yeah The chicken tenders were really really good and now I'm feeling a little bit more energized and one last big coaster to do And that is Talin right here another colorful like roller coaster This one looks really fun though. It's got a nice big loop there kind of reminds me of Bear the great bear. Yeah When I rode Hydra that kind of reminded me exactly of the Hulk at Universal Studios I almost felt like I was riding the Hulk except for it didn't have the blast off like it didn't have that You know and I'm excited to see what this is gonna be like Oh, this is gonna be just like the bear at Hershey Park. I feel like oh I'm gonna see it come this way That one really that was just like over at Hydra any of those rides or the hardest comes over your head just bounces like this And it hurts so bad and even rock and roller coaster gets to me like that But still it was a fun it was a fun ride and it's really nice being in a theme park and feeling really cool And not hot so that was great Now that all the rides are done for the day We have to make our way through the gift shop bond bonds gotta get a shirt. You know a shirt you're gonna get yeah All right, we're gonna head into the Emporium the carousel Emporium That's the one bond That's the one she loves her tie-dyes All right, grab it And with that I think we are done here today at Dornie today was like such a great day It was one of the longest days too because this was kind of closest to my hometown this park I think was the closest wasn't it? Yeah, so it didn't take us long to get down here And we got to enjoy the whole entire day got to in the water park got to ride the rides and it was great I love it. I love it here. It's so clean and the staff is so friendly It really is a great theme park and I know that there was talks of SeaWorld possibly buying Cedar Fair and if they do I hope they keep everything the same here because honestly, it was amazing. It was a great time Yeah, anyhoo, so that is park number 20 and we're gonna keep going and Hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye And we ended up leaving Dornie Park and making it to Epcot and look Sean's here Epcot, what are we doing here? Get some food get some drinks.
