I believe a video of the inversion is on youtube, I wish I had ridden Maverick when it had the heartline roll. It looked sweet!

I think I also may be the only person on the planet that is sad that the Disaster Transport is going away. I remember riding that back in the DAY when it came out....I love the indoor coasters, it feels so claustrophobic!

As for mantis I've never been a fan of it and magnum I've hated because it seems like the the ride ops just always push the lap bar down way to far and then throughout the ride it just gets tighter and crushes my legs especially at the end. I've come to enjoy the Iron Dragon though kinda pissed they took out the Wildcat this year that one was always fun.

reclegend22;1249939 wrote:Awesome. I just always thought they were all scrapped and that was that. Never heard of Dorney Park. Where is that located, and what "name rides" are now located there?
